Wonderful Surprise and Tribute

Post by DeereKid9 »

Tonight I received a group of visitors here at the Fire Station. JDRIDER (Jared) and his friends stopped by to "Show Me" something.

After he revealed this beautiful hood, I just stared, teary eyed. Then he dropped the bomb.. It's mine.

It's even wired so the headlight illuminates down on the painting. I can't wait to find the perfect place to mount it. On the wall, not a sled of course. And sure as hell not on my dad's sleds. :naughty:

Thank you Jared and crew. I believe that maybe even the Old man knew something too.

This is a great tribute and awesome artwork. Very very talented.

Do you suppose this is what they were hiding under the cheetah skin hood cover??

What a fitting and wonderful thing to do! A tribute like this should not be a surprise. The Amber’s I know are the BEST, and now I see others think the same!
