Here is the frame, im installing the pulleys and belts from the back to the front so I can place the motor somewhere close to the right spot .then I clear out the shop so I can start on the body,I'm going to build the basket out of 1/2 rod then cover it with sheet metal,I'm trying to make it look pretty close to original with a few mods

That's my motor in the photo the fan set on the side in the tractor I'm putting it to the front so I can hang fake headers off the sheet metal covers,the tractor came with two RAGB I'm using one for my steering and one so I can turn the motor,I will post pics as I move along on the project
