A custom version of #43 "Dragon Wheels". This was bought in a lot from a guy who lost his collection to Hurricane Katrina. He was calling it quits and headed for Denver CO. Now that's serious about getting away from the ocean! :rolleyes:
I thought the casting needed saving, in fact one of only two that I restored from the whole lot. He had replaced the original pipes with the "zoomie" headers, I did the rest. I wanted to update the piece, but keep enough of the original feel to be respectful to the MB vibe. Hope you guys like it.
I come in the MB room every few days and always enjoy the threads. So I also wanted to take a moment and invite you guys to the HT custom threads when you get the chance. We would love to see you stop by and look around. There are some amazing builders in there dealing with all brands including Matchbox. Come by and say high.
Thanks gang,
