I was hopeing id find a pan somewhere in the house or at the flea market this weekend for the hood. I had the perfect one but it was an inch or two too small in both directions. then i found one the perfect size but it was thin aluminum way too weak. So I guess iv got to make one. I cut up an old stainless sink for the corners and some old shelving for the rest. As you can see itll work out great in the end. but alot more cutting and welding than id hoped for. Ill probrobly weld on a round bar all around the bottom lip for strength and flare. and do the same thing to strenthen the back fenders. Unless i buy or make a bead roller :laugh: also iv got to trim it up about 1.5" from what it is now. also im thinking maby ill peak the hood with a piece of round bar. I had a cool idea if i peak the hood at the front i could make like a devils pick axe at the front as sort of a hood emblem. might be a bit out of theme but well see how it goes. and you can see the mower deck im planning on using and the blow assembly that will bolt on the back
