Ghost inspired lawn art.

[Kiwijeff]

I got inspired reading about Ghosts Dodge cowl.
After having a wee clean up down my driveway, I wondered what to do with my rusty car junk, and thought, I've got enough stuff to build a car.
I'm not into a full build, got too much going on, but I figured I could weld a heap of rusty crap together, park it on my front lawn, and light it up.
I have a spare battery, so I could wire up headlights, tail lights, and go over the top with Christmas lights.

So here's some pics of the rusty crap.
Details will come, as I nut it out.

It should be interesting to see it come together

[Kiwijeff]

I have 37 Chevy truck front and rear end, 1928 Cadillac body, 4x2 T Bucket chassis, one hot rod headlight and alloy stand and plenty of scrap steel.
Only things I need, are old v8, grille she'll, and one six stud wheel, to bolt to Chev truck diff.
I have a Morris Minor steering wheel, they look like a large banjo wheel, and two Morris Minor seats.

I don't have a lot of time to put this together though, it looks like there may be a house move in a month or two, and I'm uncertain of whether I'll have a decent shop to work in.

Thanks for reminding me of the Morris Minor steering wheel. I had a '60 traveler, woody. That is another one I should never have sold. So much "yard art" here it looks like a wrecking yard.

We finally have a start.

[Kiwijeff]

It's nearly ten pm, so time to come inside, and finish up tomorrow.
Here's as far as I got.

Will this be Christmas themed?

[sammons]

Jeff, it looks like a few more parts and you might have a builder!

[Kiwijeff]

Will this be Christmas themed?

Sure will, but in a budget.
I keep getting more ideas, but really can't spare any money to throw at it.
I want to light it up, and I'd love to put a life sized Santa in it.

That was the original idea, when I got the body off a friend. It was huge, so I deleted the front doors. Originally was thought to be a Packard, but turned out someone had rebodied the original Packard.
I've had it in the corner for over ten years.

We have some Santa red going on.
It really needed a white base, but I didn't have any.

You guys are lucky to be able to put in your yard what ever you want, with the restriction in my neighborhood its just not allowed you have to keep everything in the garage.
