The wife and I stopped by Michael's tonight and I was thrilled to find lots of holiday goodies for my rat rod. I've decided it's going to be a Christmas themed ride that's a little naughty and a little nice...but more on that later.

I took some old Orange Hauler wheels and slicks and combined them with '57 Chrysler 300 wheels to create some rockin' red rims.
Posted Image

The 300's wheels were too small for the slicks so I bored out the Haulers wheels until they made a sleeve.
Posted Image

Nice to get the wheels rolling on my workbench again.

Some goodies for one side of the sleigh. Wonder what's going in the other side...

Thanks, Virgil. I know it's not a requirement, but I've never done a holiday themed vehicle before, and this seems like as good an excuse as any to give it a go! I'm going to have a lot of fun with this.

Heh. Nope. The car isn't going to be a red and green mess. It's going to be a rat-rod first, Christmas car second.

Hmmm. I've been debating whether or not it's a snow woody or a beach woody. I would imagine that slicks would not be good on ice though...

Then again you can put skies on the front axle and then chains on the rear tires . . . I can already see a deer's head on the front hood with a glowing red nose!!!

Wouldn't that violate the 4 wheel rule? :P

Ha! That's great, HJ. I don't think I'll have any animals pulling the way, though. I do like the ski idea though...I'll have to think about that...
