i dont know how deep you want to go with this project, but i love it. got me looking around and i found this metal shaping site and a guy is making a pedal car scout. heres one pic, maybe, and alink to the album.

do this, and i'm sure a few of us here will buy the formed blanks from you

The other option is to build a mold from shapers foam and fiberglass it. (no welder needed, and it's super easy)

i figured if i got a welder doin this as a first project would help me learn to weld. im in no hurry to get this project done... as much as i would like to have it for mazdafest i dont think that is going to happen... and i do need a welder for when i cut part of the front suspension for the drop and have to weld the pieces together after the drop...

Lol, Yep, I was just talking about making the body parts out of fiberglass, in the meen time, until you got your hands on a welder for the rest.

DAMN MY LANDLORD'S UNCLE IS FUCKING RETARDED!!!!!!!!! so i told you guys he ran the 14.5hp motor out of oil the other night and now that engine has a hole in the block right... well i swapped my 12.5hp motor out of my rider and into my landlord's for him for $75. finished the swap today... wasnt completely done with workin out all the bugs but i had done a test run to make sure the engine ran after the swap, and that the mower deck worked like its supposed to... all that checks out... there is an issue with the drive belt now... not sure the problem but told the uncle about it and that it wasnt supposed to be used until i was done... what does the old bastard do? gets on the fucking mower and starts mowing... and what does he do while hes at it? he sucks one of my bed sheets into the pto deck and kills the mower.... sheet strung all up in the blades... and he leaves the mower just sitting behind my house... why was the sheet out there do you ask? i was using it as a cover for my old bench seat out of my old std cab for my girl to lay on out in the sun... so im really getting tired of this... i dont need the mower to be broke every time i go out to use it. i dont need to have to fix the damn thing every time i have to use it... this is going to get really old fast... my landlord needs to do something about his uncle b4 i lose it... AAGGHHH!!!!!!!!!
