Sound the alarm...here comes the Fire Iron!

Tom Daniel's version of an old time fire engine is hot enough to smoke up the quarter-mile, cool enough to turn-on any mod smoke eater.

Molded in fire engine red, this rig has brass-plated trim, black rubber super-wide low profile slicks and a Ford Cobra 289 mill with "hose coupling" headers.

High pressure pump is under the seat, fire axe mounts on the side and extinguisher rides on the running board.

This was the second version of the Firecracker...

The only things changed, were the replacement of the far-out tires and wheels to what can be described as more "realistic" looking, in that the overall look was that of a "Vintage Tin" model... :rolleyes:

Almost stock looking except for the "Fire Hose" exhaust headers.

Even the name: Fire Iron was more sedate.

Boxstock, with the exception of the rear wheels, original rims, embedded in turned and polished aluminum tubes with Formula 1 slicks, scale 1:20.

The color is a mica red, with clear coats.

Only with the Decals is nothing more, i have it misused for another project.

I then removed them again, because they do not want to stick, too old glue.

Maybe someday I get the opportunity again, to decorate it with better decals...

Here are the pictures, hope you enjoy:
