Any one else make their own radiator ornament?

That is so cool. How did you do it?

This is a rare Angelic Moto Meter.
It is Wi-Fi enabled and Bluetooth connected to the onboard computer system.
 
 

Knot-A-Rat-Rod!

"Not a rat rod" Fantastic.
This will turn into a neat thread. Keep em coming.
There is a guy on Fleabay gluing all kinda of stuff to stock caps. A ways back he had a "pooping dog", Loved it. So did 2 other guys. went for serious money. Once I figured out what that dog was, I found one. JB welded one on. Rattle canned it gold. Its my go to show cap.

Here's my Quik-Steam-Release cap, handy to relieve pressure prior to adding more water



And a couple more, the hot water handle gets laughs, and the little driver looks a lot like Henry!

Reginald, the kat. On Miss T

Sheet brass, repro cap. Border collie. I think he may be chasing Reginald !

Here is one from Brussels.

I have a Manneken Pis in my collection! Mine doesn't have wings but then again I don't let him drink Red Bull.

Quite appropriate Andre! Love It! Drill it out to relief the steam would be the ultimate!

I went low budget.

Dan, I love your little driver guy!


Here is my custom cap. It’s more of a “show” cap than a “go” since it’s pretty heavy.

"An earlier thread on the subject."
It is true their are older threads on a subject at hand, but there is this notice usually appears:

"Posting is currently disabled in this topic. Contact your discussion moderator for more information. "

So some times a new thread is needed to pick up where the other leaves off.

Sorry but needed to make the comment.

Here is an other one. No wings this time but working very well.
It is not mine I took the picture on a tour a few years ago. I think it was on Toon Boer his car.

enjoy

Well that little guy has zero prostate problems!

My combination contraption. Things I had under the workbench. Frank

This one has been in my someday collection for a while. It is hollow and have not wanted to discolor by soldering on a mounting bolt. Looking at it today, maybe filling the inside with resin and sticking a brass stud in before it sets up. Ether this one or a Basset hound, quick when they want to be but very plodding the rest of the time, sorta like a T. Murphy the shop dog is a Basset.

I was lucky enough to have a basset, 'Count Bassie' for 14 1/2 years. I have what looks like an Art Deco vintage leaping basset hound mascot. I may put it on my T someday. It is signed but I know nothing about the designer. It's not actually a 3D mascot like Ford's greyhound.

Here's my 'pee boy'. I couldn't find a teeny-weeny brass fig leaf! Sorry!

Many of you may have seen this mascot before. It's an old gentleman sawing on a fiddle.
I've had this one on my car from time to time.

Basset, like that one. Here is one on eBay; https://www.ebay.com/itm/124773214070?_ ... 000%7C7000

I would love to have a cat or kitten cap. The T reminds me of a cat, purring contently some times & spitting & stubborn other times.

There you go Paul....it's not on a T but it gives you an idea how great it would look!

A very attractive mascot! It it on a Daimler?

Paul

I actually found the Daimler cat mascot on the World Wide Interweb via an exhaustive Google search. Apparently it was an overpriced option that few Daimler owners went for at the time. The cat mascot made vision a problem even though it clearly was a status symbol!

Paul I found you a mascot if interested.
