Thanks Dennis! Much appreciated!!!! Its totally scratch built too, there are very few actual "kit-parts" in that whole thing!!!! -I even molded BOTH engines and all the parts to them, some parts NOT molded, were turned on my Unimat Metal Lathe in plastic!

Thanks gentlemen! Much appreciated! Was a really fun build, as really I'm a serious "stock" builder, cars right off the showroom floor is how I roll normally, but I'm getting into a little of the Hot Rodded stuff as of late. not a bad thing to go off the beaten path I suppose!
I seen that old hand-drawn picture of Santa with a Hemi power'd Sleigh, and being a Mopar Guy, I just HAD to do it.... WITH a little added in here and there for the models sake....

-Thanks guys!!!! I appreciate all the comments and kudo's. was a fun build as I said, and a lot of fun engineering involved to make things "work".... as you see them anyway..... I mean really the only part of it that I had any idea what was gonna be, to be, was the seat! LOL I built the whole body around that!!!! Then made up everything else, as I went, (luckily), I didn't have to do much to an old broken widow trim to I THINK an AMT '32 Ford Coupe, that the bottom part was gone on, and one bottom corner pretty "nicked" up, to use it as it was (after Chrome removal) to be then painted to match everything else... With a custom fitted glass in it.........
Loved this whole build, even the WHAMO part that happened!!!!
