Who bought their christmas presents

One the first day of christmas I bought me a dragstar intake for my desoto and 8 holley carbs 1 throtle linkage and a remote thermostat housing .What did you guys buy for your hot rod !!

 

It's Christmas all year for me, as i'm always buying vintage parts and they are sitting all around the house....inside and out.

 

Well, does a set of suicide door hinges and a pair of bear claw latches in the last month count in that? Guess I did then.

I found my son a slick little stocking stuffer at Sears the other day though. Under 10 bucks too. It's an adapter/extension that will fit 1/2 to 3/8 either way by sliding the inside piece. One way you can slip it on a half inch ratchet and use 3/8 sockets and the other way you can slip it on a 3/8 ratchet and use 1/2 inch sockets. Now I need to go back and get me one.

 

This year it is a low mileage, complete 235 that is already wearing some speed parts for my 51 Chevy pickup project. Also scored the whole front crossmember/suspension/box/column from the same 54 chevy Belair to go into my truck as well. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ME!

 

Baby's gettin new shoes from coker yay!! But yea it is pretty much christmas year round

 

Well, I didn't buy it but my beautiful,loving,extremly intelligent wife supprised me yesterday with a copy of the TRJ book " Deuce " and I'm just as happy as if I had good sense. I only want half of the cars featured. I don't think thats too much to ask Santa.

 

Hey those kind of wifes are rare as 32 3 windows !!

 

I bought my tickets to the GNRS!

 

Winters quick change center and a set of Hot Rod Works axles.

 

Small block Ford 3X2 intake.

 

New here, just gittin' started. It's been Christmas for me for about 3 years now on my project. I have to look around and share.

 

I got all the paperwork done and sent my $35 to the State of Michigan so I can run a 1927 Michigan plate on my 27 Studebaker! Ho! Ho! Ho!

 

A new Ingersol Rand Compressor and next week a 41 Ford Pickup.

 

Ordered a pair of low back buckets, and will be having some new exhaust run on the 51. Started the brake upgrade, and discovered the wheels are too small to clear the calipers.

Will be ordering new wheels tomorrow, if I can figure out which ones will look good on it.

Told the wife not to pick up anything for me this year. Going to be buying my own. She was good with that.

I didn't so much as 'buy' my Christmas present, Vets Affairs are paying to have my L shoulder re-constructed. Its being done on the 24th, yup the day before Christmas!

Contact Points and Distributer wires. I have next week off so hopefully I'll get this this running.

 

Good luck with that Doc.

 

Thanks mate, I really appreciate it.

Been pretty tight here this year but I did get a set of headlight visors for my 40 Chevy 2 dr sedan. And a big thanks to "ZomBrian" for finding them & pointing me in the right direction.

 

Tear drop trailer plans and the cash for the material to build it, woohoo !

Bought a set of Lakeheaders from Gear Drive, for the 32 Chevy. Plus, I renewed my alliance membership. Got my son one of the coloring books from manifolds on Mains street thread here on the Hamb. "Happy hot rodding too all, and to all some cool parts" Merry Christmas!

 

SNAP! Just have to wait for the ship to get in.

Merry Christmas Doc.


And there's a big box next to the Christmas tree. I got a few ideas but it is definitely smaller than a '36 3w.
