Thanks for sharing Rob.
I think. (what's been seen can be un-seen, right?)

Sorry Bruce. I thought there might be a gag reflex involved. I'll get a shot of it in th edark with all the lights on.
The candycane covers on the roadhweels took a bit of time. I'll have to get someone video those to see how they look in motion. Note they are directional....each side is curled the opposite way. As the old warrant used to say on my JLC.....details man, details.

Looks good Rob! Cant wait to see the pics of you dressed up like Santa driving this thing. The psychedelic road wheels will have the crowd hypnotized!

No Santa suit for me. Parade rules are that there is only one Santa. Add to that the fact that I am not a publicity hound, so hiding down in the driver's seat will do me just fine.
I think winter coveralls will be the dress of the day with some goretex boots. The low that nght is -10, so the temps will be somewhere between -1 and -10. I attached snowflakes over the sprockets, but I think it might have been better to have kept to the red white theme of the rest of the wheels. Oh well, as I said I am no artist. The biggest disaster will be if anything gets sucked into the tracks or sprockets. Pretty sure they will clean all the trinkets off the carrier in record time. I still have to add a wreath to each side of the hull armour, and I might put the spare roadwheel back where it belongs for some contrast.

I agree there should only be one Santa, Rob, but you would make a FANTASTIC looking Elf!

As I said, it will be winter coveralls and well down into the drivers compartment. For the toque, I think just about all mine are olive green, but I may have a bright orange one around somewhere from a long-past hunting season.

smoke discharger
Rob,
Can you load the smoke discharger with candy canes and fire them into the crowd for all the little boys & girls to catch? Just trying to add to your artistic flair! Let me know what you think! Derk
