I don't post that much but I come on here about every day to get a chuckle and look at pics. I figured some of y'all might appreciate my little weekend project.

Yesterday I picked up a 1985ish Snapper for $300. It has a late model Briggs and Stratton 10.5hp (feels more like 12hp), 5 speed. Needless to say it'll pick the front tires up off the line for the majority of 5 feet. I've already put it into the fence taking a corner too quick. Rubbin's racin.




The problem with Snappers is they look too.... limp wristed. I wanted to be able to scare children and old ladies when I take this thing out into the wild. So, within 10 minutes I cut the girly bars off and started planning.




Armed with only a hand grinder, uneven tape measure, a tailgate, welder and concrete slab, I had this created in 2 hours. 1/2" black iron pipe, 10" rise, 50+ years of heritage down the drain.




I let the ol' lady out of the kitchen "office" to test it out. She was overcome by the intimidation.




With my pride restored, I put some paint on it and now I'm just waiting for my grips to show up.

I'd like to take this opportunity to refrain from typing all the Hells Snapper comments out loud.

 

where i'm from "snapper" refers to a certain part of the female anatomy . so i wasn't sure what to expect when i saw the title of this thread . as it turns out it was completely different from what i thought
nice work , i expect custom seat and paint will be next !
