Mobil Flying Horse

It's your car, Bruce-- you can (and should!) do what you like.

... but if you're soliciting opinions, I'm a solid "no".

Baaaaaaaaaa, you were kidding, right? 

You could get the skeletal flying horse.

I'm with Stan, I think it looks pretty gaudy.

The bodies for Spyders were NOT made by Reuters.

They were all made by Wendler after 550-008(the first 8 were prototypes/mules).

I'm in the NO camp. Do some background research, buy some books.

I have the Wendler badges on mine, they go between the fender and door down low.

OK.....I agree....gaudy is my word. I guess there's a place for it but not on this car. Just thinking of trim things etc. I really don't want the flying horses either, or the Reuter badge for that matter. I just used that as an example here for discussion. I will have the Plastic Car Club sticker on the windshield and the SOC badge on on the rear grill though................Bruce

PS....Thankes for being candid too !

I’m a huge fan of this decal (attached). I may be partial since we have an English bulldog. 

I have a PCCA sticker on the passenger side of the windshield down low and a SOC badge on my grill.  That’s all the “extra” I think my car needs.

That glorious chrome horse though?  I think it should go on the front panel of a ball cap!

OK, Bruce.  Maybe you could be slightly "Wild and Crazy" with one of these on top of your rear license place frame:

I think the chrome horse would look perfect on the hood of a rat-rod pickup powered by a big ol' diesel with a 6" exhaust pointing straight up.

But that's just me.

Lane ! .............You win !  That would be a perfect place ! Yup, right out front on top of the radiator !  Whatever was I thinking ? Mind altering drugs must have been in play ?

How bout on the front edge of my toilet seat  as the lift handle. 

I do have some things planed for under the hood though................Bruce

Has anyone here built a rat rod before ?  ................Bruce

Lane and Bruce, I saw just the truck for you, about 2 weeks ago at a local C&C with Chris and Lucas.  It was mostly Porsche/BMW cars there until this gem pulled in, which should provide a LOT of inspiration for you both.  

Apparently, it's a 5'th wheel truck, used to haul a big camping trailer.  It's an old, straight 6 Turbo Diesel.  Zoom in on the photos as the attention to whimsy is off the charts.

Great Navajo or Greek seat cover (we couldn't decide) tilt wheel and and hidden A/C.  The engine ECU is tucked up under the dash.

Nice, beefy turbo, since too much power is never enough.

Fuel injector side with the high pressure fuel rail and a YUGE! Bendix Power Steering unit lower right corner of photo - that must be about 80 pounds right there and a bit more than Lucas weighs, there talking to his dad.  The big silver tank is air for the air brakes.     Nice K&N air filter, recently cleaned and re-charged.

Happy looking thing, isn't it?  Lucas loved it - "We should build one of these!"

It took us a while to figure out that these small piston marker lights on the roof actually light up!

And I just realized why I had never seen it around here before.  Check the plate:

I like the front turn signals.

That engine looks quite a bit like the one in my friend's big old Mercedes sedan.
