Wylie Coyote's Lawnmower

[Hotfoot]

Desert Freight just delivered Wylie Coyote's new "ACME Destroyer Lawnmower" to him. Now where's that pesky Roadrunner??

[Noisy Nova]

I like it. Very good.

Yo, Hotfoot! Ask the Doc for a double-dose of Prozac next time.

P.S. If you need an agent, PM me. I think I could get you on prime-time TV. "**** My Junk" or "Monster Imagination" or some such. I'd watch it!

I'm going to KC tomorrow for a cheerleading thing for my daughter and while I'm up there I'm picking up a couple of pushmowers and a rider (the thing I was after from the lot) off of CL. Now I know what to do with them I guess. Hey, Hotfoot, how do we sign up for your new show that was suggested?

I can see it now... My wife will be so surprised. Yeah, that's the right word, I think.

I wouldn't make a very interesting show. I can barely speak (throat surgery gone bad), don't have any "partners" to constantly quibble with, and can never say what I'm going to come up with next...I would like the money part of it, however. I have developed a real affinity for money,(although the flow of which is barely a seep or a trickle)!!

Hotfoot, all you have to do is the "Silent Bob" routine. That and be mysterious. Which you manage to do with regularity. Old dude on a roll, if you will. I love it

Well, I've got the "Old Dude" part down pat, anyways!

Nice work Hotfoot. I like it. Nice engine you did there and the front teeth looks great.

The lettering and the teeth are just "painted on" in my computer. I often do such to see how my ideas would look. I like this setup, so it'll be executed today...when it warms up to another 70ish, sunny day. Every day been just beautiful down here since October...Dry, but beautiful.
I had thought of making it a "Warbird" theme (ala ( 51 Mustang), but I'll reserve that for a riding Mower I'm going to pick up (broken steering, runs good, owner is just giving it to me)...I might even do a nose cowling, spinner and propeller on that one..."rivets" all over body, etc. I got the inspiration for that from this Motorcycle Sidecar that some metal genius built from stainless steel bakery pans...I especially like the Windshield Frame and matching front fender on the bike...I don't like his auxillary fuel tank on the Sissy Bar...

[Lunatic]

Thats my sidecar. The baking pans are aluminum. It took 1500 pop rivets to build tha tthing. I have since removed the Vetter fairing. The fuel cell got removed when I installed a larger main gastank also. I also switched out the triple trees to reduce trail and have not made a new fork brace yet, so the front fender is temporarily a factory chrome one.

[Hotfoot]

Hey, Lunatic! A Fairing constructed ala: the sidecar would be especially cool! I like the looks of that rig...but as a former Sidecar owner, I don't care for them on the road...but they are really good for picking up girls!

Nice Job!

This is how that "Binford 9000" looked when I fired it up on a 97/53 mixture of Nilotilathane/Grentab L-4...

HF, what program do you use to embellish your photos?

Funny how that the guy that built that side car, just happened to pop in here!

[Hotfoot]

"HF, what program do you use to embellish your photos?"...Rocky, I use three, and go back and forth between them. I use "Paint" (comes in Windows, under "accessories"), Microsoft Picture-It, 2000 edition, for cutting and pasting, and Photoshop 7, which I never have taken the time to learn other than a few basics, like re-sizing, editing colors, and its choices of "brushes" and textures allows very good control of copying colors, then "painting" with them...and able to back up a couple steps at any time.

[Lunatic]

So, Hotfoot, tell me about that engine. What is it? Continental? Does it run a bevel box to the blade? Is there another thread with the details of its tech specs?
I built the sidecar originally so that my me, my wife, adn two kids could all travel via 'motorcycle'. We strap our camping gear on, and all four of us pile on.
the bike is a XS1100 Yamaha that was given to me out of a horsebarn in MN. The Breadpans are Chick-master brand and were picked up at an auction for 3 bucks. It'll be a sad day in Mudville when my supply of aluminum breadpans runs out.

[Hotfoot]

you do good with them, Lunatic! I bet you've thought of "skinning" a small car, eh? I've thought of covering one with old license plates...but probably will never get there...


That mower engine is a "WASFOUR"...or a "USTA B4"(was four scrapped lawnmower engines). Totally inert art object. The "running" exhaust is just some Photoshopped 'clouds'.
