ratty pumpkin rod for Halloween

[CB]

Greeplings all, did this here 2 years ago immediatelsy after I retired.

It is evil ---totally consumed me for 2 weeks........18-20 hours a day,

made me buy a scroll saw, a drill press, all kinds of Halloweeeny stuffs

started with one of them plastic (?) pujmpkins from Michaels Craft store

made a rear deck from one of the pieces wacked off, licensxe plate 2 or 3

layers of foamy picnicy plates with paper flames behind

used all kinds o stuffs: 1/2" plastic watre pipe for exhaust, prastic coat hanger

for roll bar, steak knife blade for shifter with stryofoamo eyeball on it, little plastic

squashes for heaflight buckets with bottoms of my psycho pill presciptin bottles for

lenses, plastic dixie cups for wheel rims, white bond paper for whitewalls glued on to

solid wooden tires made on the drillpress (couldn't find a lathe at the time)

small hex nuts for luggers, and found me four dem acorn nuts for centers

homemade wooden frame and carved wooden seat and steering wheel

mix of Hallooween decortations for Sid. Started with small educamational

skeleeton, added bigger arm & hand bones from larger one, and skull from

another. Rammed a couple bloody red straightm pins into Sid's sockets, gave

him a bit of a 'do'......and he's happy in his simulated aluminyum intereior

made outa poster board plainted sivler

rear end'Punkin' keeps an eye on whats happenin out back, seein ifn any

parts are fallin off.

hunka foam for air cleanin, an ######'ns badge is cut outa two layers of foam

picinic plate

all wood front end and brake drums. if Sid rides the brakes, he could have

big problems

chrome 'trim' is simpley layers of hot melt gllue almost poured on and just let

run and drip
