A Bunch Of Old Dudes Built A Flame-Throwing Tank That’s Called The ‘Nasty Girl’

This is the type of stuff I dream of doing in retirement. Just sitting around with my buddies, casually designing replica flamethrower tanks for no particular reason other than our own personal shits and giggles. Beats playing bingo or eating soggy carrots at Old Country Buffet or threatening to cane a McDonald’s worker who refuses to give you a senior discount. These dude are living the dream.

Apparently flamethrower tanks like the Dirty Girl were a big deal back in World War II for both Axis and Allied forces. Wikipedia says this particular tank that these dudes rebuilt was used by Canadian forces. It’s badass.
