Art & Inspiration Recycling old car parts for Christmas decorations

We use a wide white wall tire & a moon disc with a nice big red bow hanging on a tree beside the house and have used it for several years.

Do any of you guys use any car or truck parts in your holiday decorations ? HRP

 

I have not done this, but you have givin me an idea Danny. Looks good. Merry Christmas to you and Brenda.

 

How about the use of an entire car? This guy asked to borrow my Roadster on Christmas Eve to expedite deliveries. I told him only if he leaves a Model A Coupe under my tree!

 

Now if that is not the right hot rod for Santa, I dont know what is! Very Coooool.

 

.......................Thanks.

 

Me too! We can hold Christmas in the ba*****t suite! Hell, I don't even have to move anything, just hang some tinsel!!

 

Merry Christmas...

 

We always hang a 4v Holley carb up. Deck the halls with 4 barrel Holley's ,falalalala.

Never done this but thought of it long before I ever saw it done


Nothing as traditional as HRPs Christmas threads

 

Funny you asked HRP, I am planning to throw this old junk together on my front lawn, as a full sized, mocked up car/rod, and lighting it up as a Christmas decoration.
I've got a spare T Bucket ch***is, and am thinking, 37 Chev truck front and rear axles, 28 Cadillac body, and one hot rod headlight and alloy stand.
All I need, is one six stud wheel to fit Chev pattern, and a junk V8.
I've got a spare battery, just need to buy the lights.
If I get it done in time, I post pics here.

Barry,that's nice,I know it's a Scotty,what model? HRP

 

That's a fantastic idea. I hope you don't mind but I think I'll copy it. Earlier this year I picked up a set of wide whitewall tires mounted on wide 5 wheels complete with hubcaps. I think I'll stop and pick up a big read bow tomorrow and hang one in the tree out front.

Thanks for the idea
Bobby

 

I've made a start on mine. Had a few pare hours this afternoon.
Sorry, there's no snow.

 

I'm thinking, paint red, and get a life sized Santa sitting in it.
Maybe glue a heap of white bean bag balls over it for the snow.
Hope it's not to painfull watching it come together, it's kinda ratty.

never thought of it, nor of sending email Christmas cards, learn something every day

 

The tire in the tree is a red neck thing,people with proper upbringing don't normally dream up stuff this crazy. HRP

 

I dreamed up this crazy mess all on my own, lol.
It's slowly taking shape. I had a helper come today, but she turned out to be no help, but I did get some red rattle can paint on.
I've also gathered up some red clothes for a Santa, and a buddy may drop in a grill over next few days if I'm lucky.
I'm running outer time, so rather than source an old junk V8, I may just pull the old Holden six from under the bench.

 

I picked this 34 Dodge Ram up at a swap meet. It was broken from its base and came in two pieces. So I use the ram as a tree ornament. It's a car part so It fits here too.

 

currently in downtown Dallas........figure that's enough for the hood'.....

 

Paging Jeff Foxworthy!

 

Here's your sign.

 

At least you will have mock up done for Christmas next year, You may even have it running and driving by then if you keep at it.
