    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 g***er 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.

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

    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. :)

    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 *** tree.

    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

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

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