Silvercreeker Posted October 21 Posted October 21 Here we go on my Christmas 2025 build! Santa must have something that can get him through the Lake Effect Blizzards we get here in Buffalo! So what better than a WW2 Half track. So it looks like a Rommel Rod is the perfect starting point. That in-line 1939 Mercedes engine is cool and some Jimmy Flintstone figures for a bit extra. Less than 10 weeks to get her done for the big man! 10
Kanada Kustoms Posted October 21 Posted October 21 Very cool festive project... Look forward to seeing your progress! 1
meechum68 Posted October 21 Posted October 21 Very cool subject, Looking forward to seeing this throughout the build process. 1
Ace-Garageguy Posted October 21 Posted October 21 (edited) Cool project. Chilly even. Should be fun. Edited October 21 by Ace-Garageguy 1
Silvercreeker Posted October 21 Author Posted October 21 Changing it up from military to what Mr Claus would want to bring to Cars and Coffee! 1929 Ford bench seat, tv, reel to reel, telephone and a cb. The tracks looks so much better in chrome, and some Christmas lights for taillights and turn signals. 3
Big Messer Posted October 22 Posted October 22 Did one decades ago. Mercifully got lost in a moving... 1

Silvercreeker Posted October 24 Author Posted October 24 The 1/2 tracks look much better with some panel liner. And the big inline 8 is ready for the spark plug wiring stage. 7
Silvercreeker Posted October 24 Author Posted October 24 Spark plug wires went pretty easy. Love when a motor has a plug rail. Looking good. Added a mesh membrane for the air filter. Mock up looks right. 4
Silvercreeker Posted 15 hours ago Author Posted 15 hours ago Mock up on chrome wheels and track. Loosing the military look and leaning into the hot rod look. Tedious work on headlights to keep the ring but remove the iron cross. Always the details that take time. 2
