I need to make this cake for a birthday this weekend. I have a good idea of what to do, but I am stuck as far as how to make the tires & that other thing in front of the back tires (don't know what its called). Anyone have any thoughts??

. . . I agree with the RCT . . .that's what was used to make this one . . . http://www.cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=gallery&file=displayimage&pid=754103 . . .
Do you think they could just be made of solid fondant?
Not likely because that much fondant will collapse on itself before it sets up. Even so, that would be A LOT of fondant ($$$) and it would need several days to dry.
I would use fondant but i would make a day or two in advance and add a hardening agent to it i do for my tractor tyres etc...
they look like they have used something too soft in that pic as tyre going flat..
good luck cant wait to see what you come up with
I have made a couple of car cakes and on my first car I used gumpaste. When you attach it make sure that it is not resting on the board so that is up in the air, then the tires stay round.
The 2nd cake I did I use chocolate clay and you use the same technique. The rims are also cut from gumpaste or chocolate clay and painted with silver highlighter mixed with vodka (the highlighter is similar to silver luster dust but produces more silver coverage). It also comes in gold.
Oh, I forgot to add...attache the wheels with melted chocolate so they hold onto the side of the cake.
