Christmas at a gearheads house.

I was looking for a pic of this 55 nomad ornament I have for a christmas tree in the back thread, and ran across this cool little gasser ornament as well and thought some guys here would get a kick out of it as I did and that got me to thinking.
I wonder what other gearheads do at their house at Christmas thats hot rod or just old car or truck oriented.
It could be a gift you gotten for christmas as a kid or one youve given, something youve seen
*YARD ART*, or even a cool christmas ornament etc. something you might have made in the garage etc.

 

Here are some of the "gearhead" ornaments that are on the Christmas tree in The Hot Rod Grille Garage.

Here is the "other" tree in The Hot Rod Grille Garage. I'm hoping Santa puts some hot rod parts under it this year!

This years decorations ...Wait a few seconds

 

That is great! Now if you add a propane tank and a set of voomies!........

 

Cool stuff guys, Kind of crazy but Ive always kind of thought about real spark plugs,as ornaments,classic style name brands of course.

...anymore stuff out there?

 

You want crazy? How about the Southern Redneck wreath hanging in the tree beside the house! HRP

 

Ha,ha, Now thats what Im talkin bout.

 

RATFINK SANTA! That is awesome. I'm Jewish, but I'd take my kids to that Santa, no question. They will know at a young age who Ratfink is. I'll be the only guy with a Menorah made of car parts.

 

Here's our contribution. Santa's Hot Rod. And the fan rotates, using an old wiper motor.

 

my favorite decoration was stolen a few years ago, was santa in a hot rod (inflatable yard thing) havent found another since.

I sell a lot of pinstriped ornaments each year, though only have a handfull on my puny ass tree.

 

Hmm, Horses instead of reindeer, It is chevy horses, it should "fly".

 

Now that's some neat shit for Christmas decorations, I don't care what anybody say's. Good job HRP and Hot Rod Grille......

 

I am so envious of you fellas, I feel so inept! Nice work guy's!

 

I want one of these!!!

 

^^^me too santa!^^

 

I have two in gold and two in black. Found them at Wal-Mart, Taget & Toys R Us. All you need to do is screw a small eye bolt in one and viola.

There is some on ebay,I also saw some altered wheelbase 65 dodge coronets

 

Pretty simple to take any old hot wheel car and add a screw eye to the top and make a ornament,,or use some type of clip if it has value. HRP

 

....some coronets and a altered chevy II

 

That is unfortunate. Check out www.genuinehotrodhardware.com they carry them.

HELL yeah. And a true redneck let it hang there all year only changing the color of the band

 

We put my wife's Willy's Jeep in the front yard this year decorated.

 

I don't think my neighbors care for it the month of December,,I really don't need to push my luck!

But to be honest I think it looks better than the inflatable Santa & reindeer that are lying flat on the ground. HRP

 

anyone else?

 

Merry Christmas!

Just got that gasser yesterday at K mart for my little cousin. I wanted one for myself, but there was only one left. LOL
