I'm thinking this might not be legal? ARMA rules for sheet metal are as delivered except for trimming. but I have seen it done before in one of George's builds but that was a super and this is a Mod-x-R.
We were experimenting with some ideas. I just like the idea of the fender over the tires like a stock tractor
I did the exact same thing to mine. I was told its OK to widen the fenders as long as you make it look stock again.
Just be sure you give those tires enough space under that fender, to "grow" under acceleration. I have seen tires gain up to 2 inches of circumference when spun hard....
A Friend of mine has an MTD chassis very similar to this one. You should be very happy with it.
Sorry for the confusion Burwell. I'll try and be a little more specific on my posts for the pics. This thread was stared to show the parts I was making but morphed into something a little more.
Here's the start of the exhaust for my mod-x-r. It took a lots less time than I thought and came out better to boot.

Stared the build of my SP. Starting with a Murray wide body LT. The frame on these things is sure narrow.

Also how would you mount the tranny behind the axle and still work?
