If you have the May issue of RCCA, then check out the Reader's Rides on page 52. There is a custom built tractor puller that just looks flat out wicked. Here, I'll type the article:
Dennis Henning > Beloit, WI
Quad-engine puller
Here is what Dennis has to show after a very cold Wisconsin winter: a home-built quad-engine tractor puller. This beast weighs 20 pounds, measures just over 38 inches long, and is powered by four XTM 24.7 engines fed by four aluminum fuel tanks and driven by two XTM Mammoth trannies. The chassis is hand built from stainless steel tube, the exhaust is made of copper tube, the rear fenders are coffee cans, and the seat is an old cell phone holder. The puller also features front and rear steering, dual disc brakes on each tranny, and Imex Jumbo Kong tires. Dennis' resourcefulness and craftsmanship are clearly evident, and they helped him earn Reader's Ride of the Month.
Sorry, this just made my jaw drop so I had to post it :D
