    one of my earliest car show memories was a wheelbarrow all chromed out with some sort of motor... I think it was green. that would have been at Oakland around 1970.

    they used to have cool chromed out weird stuff at Oakland. I remember a chrome chain saw all tricked out.

    this is the first show lawn mower I've seen. I think you should use it. show mowers suck.:D

    That is amazing. I fixed up a crappy lawnmower before but it still just looked like.. well a crappy lawnmower. I am impressed by people who can see something like that and envision the final product as well as you did.

    Oh believe me when I say that as soon as I saw it I pictured it candied, pearled and metalflaked with chrome plated everything. I cant seem to leave anything alone!

    1. photographers corner!!!!!

    Whoa now!:eek: Don't sell yourself short on this mower.

    Aluminum deck!

    Bigs and littles!

    Fade-away fenders!

    ...and it's a VOLLRATH!:D

    Some elbow grease, a paint job and a little pinstriping and this could turn into a full-scale pissing contest! :p

    You could be a contender. Start polishing that aluminum deck, and break out the metalflake for the rest of the parts.

    I may have missed it but what does the "clippings deflector" look like, if there be one, yet? Maybe something plexi-glass molded?:D
