I got Mad Fabricators # 5!! I pretty much sat on my *** most of the day and watched both discs. It's as usual AWESOME!
My friend also gave me a really cool Ruckus Garage neon clock for the garage. All in all it was a Merry one for me. I hope all in HAMB land had a great holiday season this year.

Merry X-mas to me....I got myself a Rotary 2-post 9k lb hoist. The family got me boaring stuff like matching towels.

 

That's cool Tony, is that the 1034 car?

BB

 

It has 69 on the door's, and is a 33-34 ford. it does have the look of the 1034 car though..
The girl who gave it to me said it was listed as a 32 and that was one of the reason's she bought it knowing i love 32's.....it's not but i didn't have the heart to tell her differently.
She's supposed to be getting me the artist's info..I wanna see what else he has to offer..

 

I made out like a bandit! I got a bunch of cool stuff this year! Patch, airfreshener, pinup girl books, bomber art book, calander, so cal history book, decals and other stuff that wasnt car related.
Also my brother painted a really cool painting of me working on my '27 Dodge! It really turned out good!






Heres a look at the paintings I did for friends and family

This was for my brother, BMW 2002 ti races




This one is for my dad




This one is my moms




And these three I did for close friends. One wants a super bee, one is into airplanes and the other is a chef.







Merry Christmas!!

 

I got a Miller Weld-Pak 175 HD mig welder. I've had that 230 line sticking out of the wall ever since I built the shop. Looks like I have to put in an outlet now.

 

Mrs. Carfarmer dug up an old picture of me lying down on the trunk of my '70 Roadrunner (taking a break during an engine swap); had it blown up and put on a blanket.

That woman f***'n rules!

Happy Christmas to all!

and what do they match....the plywood??? xoxox

 

Tony, that is some girl who got you that art....

 

Got the money to have the custom exhaust done on the F100 ...

And the Yank Tanks DVD. I suggest you look it up on Amazon if you haven't seen it.

 

FYI--Thats a David Perry print and he is one of the biggest photographers of the Hot Rod & Pin Up Art.
Whoever got that for you deserves a extra hug!
His website is http://www.davidperrystudio.com for more great pics & books...

 

Got wheels and tires for the Model A tudor. Torque Thrust D's and wide whites.

 

I got the latest Mad Fabs DVD and its great, didn't think i would have it for Xmas but it arrived Xmas eve, Thanks Evil, great job.

 

I was spoiled this Christmas , I recieved Enough "Christmas money" to buy myself a new Lincoln MIG welder Then I also recieved a killer roadster ornament, and a October 1955 Hot Rod Magazine issue. VERY cool! I'm gonna frame it I think.

 

I got a plasma/tig/stick set up Actually got it last week, but I have hardly been able to play with it. www.plasmadyn.com The M50 is what I got. Here is a pic..

 

Where do I start? The wife got me the AG coupe 1/18th scale & a real THX 138 license plate for the rec room - and told me to buy the duece coupe body I've been drooling over! The momster-in-law gave me a semi-auto air rifle (said when she found out there was such a thing as an air rifle that didn't need to be reloaded or pumped for 12 shots, she thought EVERYBODY should have one!). Roger (step-father-in-law) gave me Two Lane Blacktop DVD with screenplay. My father gave me some artwork my mom did (fabric artist who died last spring) - that was unexpected & very cool.

Best of all was my 5-year old's face when she saw the stash Santa left - including her roller skates and a 42" LCD for the family. Even with all the cool car ****, she still is the best thing going.

Happy Holidays all!

"The Hot Rod Guy"

 

I got Electroline Diaries, The Hot Rod Pioneers book from the AHRF, a 2008 SoCal speed shop calendar, and a subscription to TR&K.

 

I got a adapter for a Stude to 39 trans and a Stude Weiand 2x2 Intake, Also got a 35-48 ****** rebuild book from Casey

 

I got a sawzall, some gift cards to go buy some more tools, a fresh HAMB alliance membership, and best of all, I got the OK to buy myself a really clean 51 Chevy pickup I recently found!!

 

I got a huge *** role of insulate from Lobucrod for the 54, Dale dvd set and a huge really nicely framed pic of Waltrip, Jr, and Sr on the last lap of Daytona running 1,2,and 3 right before his death in turn 4...freaking awesome, Also got a new 360 degree drop light and some craftsman tools for the trunk of the 54.

 

I got the hardback book Hotrod and I got the remake of the vanishing point that I had been wanting. I already had the original and I bought a few tools for the garage for myself.

 

I got a Craftsman working model car engine for my son and I. I did most of the building but it's a cool toy for kids to learn about how an engine works, only $ 18.00 at K-Mart.

 

I got an autographed Kenny Montgomery 68 Hemi Barracuda diecaste replica that is personalized to me, from Kenny which was given to me by Beaver Bob, owner of Beaver Springs Dragway. Beaver got it from Kenny Saturday when he was invited to Kenny's open house. I couldn't make because my family made plans to get together that day. I missed a great evening of bench racing stories from the master.

I also got a silver christmas coin with santa claus on the front and embossed "to someone special" on the back from Fast Eddie McCardle. Eddie is 86. He was a WWII underwater demolitions team expert. He drove midgets after the war and was the first dirt track champ of Port Royal Speedway. He is probable the only original owner of a 1955 T-Bird in Pa. Besides being the father of the founder of Beaver Springs Dragway. I was also treated to an ear full of stories of the past you guys would kill to have heard. Flatheads, Cragars, Offy's etc. He even will say, "what if I had just put ...... in a barn and left?" Ohhh how I wish he would have!

A pretty cool Christmas day with the "Beaver" family.

 

I got a friggin cold!!!! KNUX!

 

Hollywood Tag Light and Plate braket for my "A Coupe "

 

I got a 63 nova g***er sbc, straight axle, radiused rear wells and gay paint, also this great lamp........

 

Hey 53Burb, You're not the only one that got a cold for Christmas! I'm sitting here at work with a kleenex stuck up my nose!

My wife got me "50 Years of Rod & Custom" from TRJ. Awesome Book! My Mom gave me 2 Hallmark Ornaments (Like she has been doing for the past 20 years). One is a hotwheels Challenger and the other is a 57 Ford Retractable.

On the giving side, I gave my Dad a 20 Gallon Parts Washer (Which I can't wait to use!) and a fire extinguisher for the shop (Which I hope we never have to use). Gave my wife a set of Chrome tubular side steps for my new 2008 Dodge Ram QuadCab 4X4 that she can't get into!

Happy Holidays! Harold
