OK well since the Ballistic Bentley wasn't wholeheartedly accepted as an eligible custom for the Christmas Exchange, I went back to the Bobzilla Skool of Kustoms (think WyoTech, but *different*) and produced a Christmas Rat instead.

-- Auto World Impala body & Ultra G chassis

-- Rodger Dodger Hot Wheels mountain motor (Mopar purists cringing I know)

-- RRR wheels & tars that look nice but will need a little *cough* truing tp run their best. But they look old school drag stripper so what the hey.

-- Some 1/24th scale model parts & decals, a little dab of black paint here & again round out the package. I liked the Hilltop Yellow so I just gave it a little coat of Future here & there to hold the decals down.

It's already in the box, so NO votes will not be counted! :lol:

Doba,
Great build. Is that the Muscle version of a Rat Fink design? Does it stay in the track on turns?

That's straight out of a "Cartoons" magazine!!! No helmet needed, got enough hair to soften the blow. Is that Hulk Hogan driving??? He's got his heart right, driving a yellow Bowtie!!! RM

Thanks guys!

The car went around turns ok before muscle dude got on board -- didn't try it afterward but the next owner can check that out. :wave:

If anything -- just run it down the strip - hahaha :tongue:


Speaking of muscle dude -- I think he is Edge from WWE wrestling. There were some 3-packs of mini-figures at Toys-R-Us recently -- some were around $5 and some were on a clearance rack for $3. The $5 pack must be newer or something.

See them here (http://www.toysrus.com/search/index.jsp?kwCatId=&kw=wwe%20micro%20aggression&origkw=wwe%20micro%20aggression&f=Taxonomy/TRUS/2254197&sr=1)

I got a great figure for this Joez pink '70 Monte Carlo I have planned . . .

Doba,

Would that figure for the Pink Monte have black gloves with the fingers cut off? Just picked up a 3 pack of these guys tonight and I think we have the same guy? LOL

Don't worry you found it first but, mine may find its way into a Pink slot way down the road....way, way, way.....................down the road.

Bob...your little fun WWE guys Rock...zilla

doba,

Looked this cool rat up again....man this thing is still fun looking! :) Like Randy said it is like right out of a CarToons magazine.

You don't have to say what is cool about this yellow Bel Air because, it is just obvious to the eyes. Wish I would have thought of this one.

Bob...old Chevys look great...zilla
