Christmas Lists

So it's the time! Figured I'd throw this out here. What do we have on our Christmas lists? Maybe like me, another 1969 Cougar Eliminator like I had back in the day? Okay... the real ones that our significant others can handle. I'll open up the floor:

As a bachelor I will be getting myself a Holley Sniper. Been saving for it all year and waiting for the "Holleydays" sale.

I'll take a welder, some metal working tools, and paint spray gun with a proper compressor and driers...

But I'll get nothing and like it!

outer window seals, mirrors (previous owner put on mirrors from a '96, looks goofy as hell), and the one my wife already said she'd get me,

The LEDs you ordered aren't CAN Bus right? CAN bulbs will back feed into other circuits on non CAN systems. Ask me how I know.

eBay had 15% off the other day, and I went ahead and pulled the trigger on carpet, and I got a great deal on the carb I wanted. I made it easy on my wife.

Im hoping to get a new seat cover as well, but that may be pushing it a bit.

The present I want is TIME! Seems my wife will OK any mod purchase under the guise that it will make my truck either SAFER or get better gas mileage, but it's very hard to find the actual time to do the work. I am looking forward to seeing thread grow. It will give me ideas.

Dear Santa, I have been a good American. For Christmas, I am requesting:

1. A "bracketeer" fire extinguisher bracket and fire extinguisher for my Ferrari 360 Spider.

2. For my 70 F-100, an Ididit tilt steering column!

3. Rebuild kits for an NP435 and NP205 t-case for the '73 F-100.

4. An 18-circuit wiring harness for the 81 Rabbit track car.

5. A new aluminum cylinder head, intake, and headers from Classic Inlines for my 68 Mustang.

Thank you.

I am getting a Marti report. My wife didn't like the price so I had to double up. Birthday and Christmas present. Been wanting one for a long time just didn't want to plunk down the cash. Wife and Son are going in together. May not get it in time cause they told him they were 4 months out. He ordered it in Sept. I believe. He did get the email right away and told me my truck was a 1 of 5 but that is all he told me. Hoping he will at least give me the email for Christmas.
