Default get your thoughts

Well I know this has nothing to do with crawlers but thought I would share another project I was doing for my father-in-law.
He has a john deere riding mower and broke the front end and asked if I could fix it.
Said yes and asked if he wanted to add lights to it.
This is wha it looked like before. (The red is where the breakage was at)



This is what it looked like after I laid down some fiberglass and made space for the lights.





OK it appears that I lost the finished picture I will update later. let me know what you think. and flame away if you feel the need.

Looks like it should have a big NISMO sticker on it

I like it, much better than just drilling holes and bolting the lights on.

These are the NOW planned additions (outlined in red). I even put NOS on it8-)
Wing and ground effects.
It will now do wheelies. and do burnouts for 100+ feet and it'll cut 5 acres of grass in 3.9 minutes. My fatherinlaw decided to do the neighbors yards for $10 each. Made over a $1000 in one day because it's sooooo fast.

I love that turtle..
He's the real reason I'd buy turtle wax.

Seriously... I'm not a big fan of Fiberglassing that **** gets messy as hell and then to work out all the bumps and stuff left over.
I'll do a speaker box every now and then but thats about it.
