That time of year again

Well, Christmas and the holidays are approaching once again. I'm having difficulty figuring out what I want for Christmas. I the type of person that when I need something or want something I go out and get it. I know I'm getting some billet alternator brackets and a chrome one wire alternator. I like to get some idea from you guys and gals as to what Santa will bring you. Merry Christmas to everyone.

LOL....Its tough here also. The family never knows what I need, and I have a hard time figuring out just what I need, etc. As far as tools go. I already have an extensive selection, if I need a tool for something I typically go out and buy it.

So, since it is X-mas, and my wife was scratching her head as to what to get me and complaining about it as we drove around town this weekend I stopped and bought a 60 Gallon air compressor...woohooo

Merry Christmas to me, Merry Christmas to me......

Bobby

Already got my Xmas present. I asked for a creeper/jackstand/floorjack package that Sears had on sale. I have one pair of jackstands and the '56 needs steering and suspension work. (I didn't have the rest of the stuff because I refuse to work on any of my other vehicles; that's why God invented mechanics. Pffft!)

Merry Christmas!

Don't really care what the little fat man in the red suit brings me. I got bout every thing I need. As long as my kids and grandkids get lots of goodies that's all that matters. I got um lots of loud toys, remote trucks and lots of batteries. Should last um a long time. My two daughters just love me my wife and my son at X-mas........

HOPE ALL YOU FTE'ERS HAVE A WONDERFUL SAFE HO HO AND A GREAT NEW YEAR. FROM ME RUSTY AND THE FAMILY. GOD BLESS ALL. MY BEST FRIEND CAME HOME SAFE FROM IRAC ON SATURDAY. THAT WAS ONE GIFT I PRAYED FOR AND GOT.

How about a set of chrome radiator pipes http://www.parrautomotive.com/flathead%20parts%202.htm or some new improved flathead water pumps http://www.speedwaymotors.com/xq/asp...qx/Product.htm. Heck I could think of a million things, but no one will ever give them to me!!! I'll just have to go out and get them myself!!!

My Christmas wish, other than the traditional best wishes to everyone, is to find a little extra time to spend on my old truck. I still have anti-rattle kits and gauges to install as well as wheels and tires to mount. I just want time!

Merry Christmas Everybody!

Since I've pretty much finished my '51, my wife will be so disappointed she doesn't have to order me anything this year (thought the guy from Joblot was going to come to our house to beat her last year!).

But I've got my 5 month old boy now, and Liam will get all my "parts money" share this year. Besides, some of those baby toys need some tweaking anyway, so I'll still be able to use my welder and grinder. I think that wagon needs some headers

I just want warm enough weather to work on the truck. I have a lot to do and no garage heater.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
