View Full Version : Christmas Rat
1976Cordoba 11-10-2008, 10:45 PM 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:

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

You're right RR. Mold that man a helmet! Over the top :thumbsup:
Hilltop Raceway 11-11-2008, 11:15 AM 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
ScottD961 11-11-2008, 12:37 PM Doba that is way nice ! I'm with Slotter here ,I think I may have to rethink my t jet contribution ! Yikes !
Bill Hall 11-11-2008, 04:54 PM Oh Yeah!

Very cool looking car, mate! :thumbsup:
ScottD961 11-12-2008, 07:18 AM Joez , he does look like Malibu !
1976Cordoba 11-12-2008, 09:37 PM 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 . . .

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

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
