oldcarfudd Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Early Sunday morning the temperature was 22. I was putting on a truckload of sweaters to drive my '13 T runabout to Cars and Croissants, a local show. My wife rolled over and said: "There's a box in my office. You can have it early.'' It was a snowmobile suit! Now my totally-open brass cars are a four-season hobby, at least when there's no salt on the roads.Gil Fitzhugh, Morristown, NJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest shadetree77 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Santa came early at my house. Guess he needed to free up room on his sleigh for Christmas day. He brought me a new fender and a new door for my Buick. He also brought me a 150 pc. black chrome tool set and an Eastwood MIG welder with tons of welding equipment!!Best Christmas ever!! Now I just need to find some floor pans in my stocking. Hope all of you have a Merry Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Harmatuk Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Bought myself a sand blast cabinet from Harbor Freight. For the money... On sale.... It got good reviews when I researched it.Talked to a guy in the store looking at the same cabinet and he said his buddy has an 800.00 cabinet and he likes the 209.00 Harbor Freight better.I'll put it to good use with all the small parts on the 30 CJ.Bill H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbirchmire Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Santa brought me a complete set of restored seatbelts for my Mustang. Now if I can only get him to give me a heater for my new polebarn I will be in buisness. LOL HAPPY HOLIDAYS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Bond Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Tools, MG Seat Covers for Susan, some MG wine glasses, and a great day with the grandkids. I'm really pleased to see them developing their own interests in cars and working on them. May I digress for a moment - had a special request for Model car kits this year and I shopped long and hard for some good ones. Thank goodness you can still get some 60s and 70s muscle car kits. What ever happened to the really antique car kits from AMT? I remember buying Model A Model T kits. I was shocked to find out that Wal Mart is not offering model kits of any kind any more around here. Maybe thats where we are lossing some of our youth. No good antique model car kits (or toys) around anymore. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandy Dave Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Yup, a good time spent with family, and a Grand Christmas Dinner. And my 82 Buick Riv carried me there, and back, without a Hitch. The roads have been very dry and clean in this area of the North East. Although it looks like that may change this week. Hence, the old Riv has been put back in winter hybernation. Dandy Dave!
