That's so cool ! It needs some horse shoes on that rear tire for some traction ! |

I love that rear fender, Don. I had a good laugh & my honey wanted to see what I was laughing at & she enjoyed it too. That one that's off the charts.

I love this site! This is a FANTASTIC idea and build! It will be really cool when done.! ! ! This is a ton of great work. I have one question? What was the thought behind the dice on the shifter? It doesn't match your theme? Horse or pony express related. . . . is there something that could be used?
I love the mail box on the back....very fun build! This is going to ba another great contest.

Thanks for the kudos guys, Barten the dice shift knob isn't glued on........it was handy at the time and will be replaced with a small gem eyed metal steer skull. Update pics.........I used alphabet soup macaroni for the raised lettings on the sides of the mail box and cut up a USPS mailing label for the logos etc.   |
