953 nut 51,794 #5 Posted January 25, 2017 Just when you think you have seen everything, this pops up. Once it has been seen it can't be unseen! 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPINJIM 1,978 #6 Posted January 25, 2017 Yeh, I saw that too. Someone did a lot of work to create it, probably for their kid. If I had a kid young enough, I'd consider buying it for them. Listing says it runs ok, and the price isn't too high. Maybe we will see someone's youngster riding it around at the big show. Jim 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tankman 3,515 #9 Posted January 25, 2017 Horses did pull fire equipment back in the colonial days. Guess Stallions still do! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ztnoo 2,298 #10 Posted January 25, 2017 No doubt about this being different. Probably for someone who is not very broad across the beam. That wouldn't be me........ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 46,818 #11 Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) Thanks for the pics Richard & Wildhorse...., yes that is kinda cool & bet it would draw some eyeballs at a show! Had to be some serious fabbing there. Any clues as to what the front bumper was from? Tractor might be a 70??? Edited January 25, 2017 by WHX9 add 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim That's what I was thinking. Would be great for shows! That bumper is from a mid-late 50s car of some kind that has been sectioned. Can't place what model though. Anyone recognize it? I was thinking it could be a front or rear bumper if those were originally backup lights. Edited January 25, 2017 by TDF5G Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd be surprised if it didn't sell. 250 is pretty reasonable. Worth the cool factor alone for parade use. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wallfish 15,937 #24 Posted January 26, 2017 Man, it just keeps getting tougher and tougher to come up with new customs that haven't already been done. Scratch armchair fire engine off the list. VERY creative build, I love it. Thanks for sharing that! 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
