Freaky Friday - Birth of a UNIMOG!

[HomeRacingWorld]

Locoracer Tom showed up for a night of fun and decided to get this old crate running.



Simple as it gets for a conversion.



Sometimes a little light hearted fun is just what we need. Tom has a had a tough couple months but he is feeling better now and back to his old self :)

I love it - of course! Great Boss, good stuff. I'll get of my duff and finish (ahem, start) my Unimog project soon, this is just what I needed.

Wait, you guys are crafty, there... The motor is supposed to be in the front and you reversed it! Nice. Stock motor too?

That's cool! I would like to build one. How well do the tires hook up?

[HomeRacingWorld]

Well, yes Tom mounted the guide post up front as there was not much space. Then cut the bed out and used a playing card for a cover :)

It's very slow, but yes those tires hook pretty good.

I'll take it! I need something for hauling lumber around the track rebuild!

Very cool, Tom is Mr. Wizard. I love seeing all his creations.
