Last Sunday while I was mowing the lawn, I hat this weird idea... To have a lawn mower in 1/25... I searched on the internet, but nothing interesting... So I started to build it like the "old" lawn mowers, with the opening part on the side instead of in the rear. ;D

Another interesting project from the mind that never sleeps. Something i never would have thought to build, but, I have no doubt that it will be cool.
Keep going, not sure how you're going to mount that Dauntless V6 on there but, I'm sure you'll find a way.

I posted this tread in another two forums, and they changed my mind about the engine. Because some people start to say to build it "wild" others to build it stock... So a the end I will put a V8 engine... ;D Not sure from where or which kind of V8, I don't have too many spare parts... Today also I had time to shoot some primer on it, and probably I will be able to color it before the end of the day... Under it... So, with a V8, the first thing to do is some disk brake... Safety always a the first place!!! The red things is the caliper, and the other level is for change the height. Thank you for looking!

Thank you Vance for the offer, but I found one today that I forgot I had it... This evening I also painted it in Arcadia Green from Duplicolor. It will be green and chrome. I think is not to bad... Will see how it come out!

Here a mock up with the engine. The engine could be build in 3 way, stock, custom and competition. The competition one has a blower. So I though this is a crazy idea to put a V8 on a lawn mower, so why don't make a good crazy job using a blower... And after, I remember that I saw a engine with two blowers, so two it is better than one, and I went in this directions... ;D
