Ok this might be dumb but! With christmas around the corner i'm sure some of ya have some sort of wish/Christmas list........So.........Whats on your list? Me: If i can get the rest of what i need to get the 29 on the ground rollin and a bunch of flatty parts.
First I would like a 31 Ford Roadster full fender. Second I would like the summer to get here real fast, around here cruise season is just about over a couple nice days left and one more swap meet. ********************************
I just bought a welder, so the "other" tools that are mandatory with it is what i'll be wanting for christmas. My wish list would also include any type of 20's- 30's body to get a hotrod started, then maybe a place to put it all. And why not ask for money to actually buy parts for it cause my pockets seem to be running dry. Or maybe i just have a hard time spending what i do have- I like to call that being frugal
I want an english wheel with all the t*******s! A new welder because I think mines older then I am. A new cherry picker because I SWEAR mine's trying to kill me. And a vacation with a hot boy......because we all know deep down inside, I REALLY am a girl. **x
Thats easy! A new garage because I'm tired of working in the barn area. All I want is a 30' x 30' block garage which I need to get started in on now that the Arizona pizza oven heat has gone away. Did I ever mention that sometimes I think the Arizona Pizza oven heat is only a tad better than living in Frostbite Falls Minnesota on Forever Frozen Lane where you use a snowblower for 9 months and a lawnmower for 3 months. Well maybe not that bad - but that fellow next door with the long grey hair and beard always feeding those reindeer & a never ending procession of midgets coming and going from his house at all sorts of odd hours.....

Me too! I forgot to include my COMPLETE Poncho tri-power set up. Hahaha , momma always said if yer gunna dream, dream BIG. **x
id settle for the gift of intelligence, maybe that way i can keep a car longer than 6 months...................
Yer young, dumb and full of ***.............stop thinkin with your levi's and start usin your noggin. THEN ask Santa for something REALLY cool! **x
a hopped up Chev 6-cyl. would be a hella nice so i can ditch the SBC that's in the car already or since i grew up on Pontiacs, a nice Pontiac motor with a tri-power setup. other than that, 2 more white wall tires for the rear,
My daughter (8 years old) informed me that Santa doesn't exist. But maybe his elves will stop by and help me get my damn car built.
The thing I "need" is the motivation to get out and work on the '53 in the dead of winter instead of staying in bed until noon. A****st the things I want, a nice big TIG machine... a bunch of sheetrock, insulation, and a heater for the garage... a new air compressor, maybe a Quincy... a nice Bridgeport, heck even an enco, a nice small to mid sized lathe, and ***ociated tooling... mmmm, I can just taste the chips(metal that is). I'll probably just ask for some warm socks, long underwear, and mittens... that's more realistically what I'll get! Ben
that'd work for me, we'd be able to go to San Diego & watch the kid grad frome Marine Basic & have enuff left over for to finish the bus....joe
Band saw. Plasma cutter. Isky 400 max cam. Ross Forged pistons 3 5/16 bore for a '51 Flatty. Machine shop gift certificate. Brandy in my stocking. Really...last weekend, my family semi'celebrated w/my grandma since she's leaving for FL this week. Watching my daughter and nephew open stuff, I don't want or need anything. It's all about those two this year.
