What did ya get for Xmas- car related

Well now that morning has come for most of us.. what did you get for Christmas related to cars

I got a nice DanBury Mint 47 Buick Woodie for my toy collection and a gift card towards either a stereo for the 57 or my rear 4 link kit.

I was pleased.

 

For our sons first Christmas Uncle Todd (sentinelT) got him and I the start of his Hot Wheels collection! HenryJ 57 Chevy, FED etc.................several cool ones!

Merry Christmas Ken! Hope you are getting settled out West.

 

I was stoked to hear a new TIG welder is on its way. Must not have fit in the Santa bag.

 

My brother got me a see through torch tip for my TIG and my wife got me an angle die grinder and my mom got me a wooden machinist's chest.

Sam.

 

I got these plyers I've been wanting from Eastwood.

Brick

 

Santa delivered a three piece tool chest to the garage....somehow the smallest chest found it's way to my bedroom and the top of my dresser and wants to be my new jelwery armorie. I also got a new tool bag for Big Olds instead of that huge tool box I use to carry in there, and some socket racks that I needed.

Santa also paid for the matting and framing of an Alan Johnson art piece I got earlier in the year. (the fin of a Caddy)

and my most favorite gift is a leather purse with tooled cars and palm trees all over it. Truely something special.

Not car related, I got a string of lights for my tiki lounge shaped like flip flops and a tiki themed photo frame with a photo of us in it taken in CA during Paso from Megan, an empty s****book from my sister, a pair of flannel PJ bottoms from my nephew (he gets me a pair every year with his own money), some socks and perfume which I promptly gave away to my Aunt cuz I didn't like the smell. Our family is into re-gifting instead of wasting.....we just don't tell the person that was the giver.

 

A subscription to TRJ
And a Ipod Video (for the sound on the 49)

And a bunch of gun parts (not car related of course)

 

How about this. I to got the usual for Xmas. A pair of socks and a piece of A--
neather one fit.

 

The latest issue of TRJ (which is great) and an interesting book called "The Cobra in the Barn". A compilation of real barn finds with photos. The author is Tom Cotter & it is a real fun book to read.

There have actually been real AC Cobras & other exotic pieces pulled from barns. There is also a nice story about the Bud Neumeister Av8 that I can't wait to finish reading.

 

i got these for my display case. totally *****'n.

 

It's a Mad Fabricators Christmas... look how happy I am!

 

Santa brought me "The Electroline Diaries" and "shocking tanks"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shocking_Tanks, killer! can't wait to take the shocking tanks to the party tonight....heheheh.

I got the usual collection under the tree but time with my wife and sons is the best Christmas of all. I spent Christmas 2005 110 miles west of Bagdhad.
