What are you buying yourself for Xmas? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

1LowToy · 12-18-2011, 12:27 AM

Serious. Here's what I'm thinking about.

Oh and a Harley,

bigsj · 12-18-2011, 12:35 AM

A Cowl hood for my 86...

*72lb4x4* · 12-18-2011, 12:37 AM

I bought the Camaro new sail panels and the tool box a Martin light dinging spoon that seems to be poorly made. Since I have to pay shipping to return it, its pointless.

Myself, I get nothing

I'm thinking of buying other stuff, which is ok since I've probably saved 40k this year. I just don't have a need to buy much and when I do, its usually used, so not so much money wasted.

I'm the unfortunate product of depression era parents and grandparents so I troll swap meets for $10 corded tools that work better than the $100 cordless tools everyone else is buying.

I would pay a lot for motivation to work on my truck though

Anyone have a cattle prod and a mean streak?

Nice hotrod!! How about a couple of pics when you get it striped?

I'm going to get myself a 22-24" flat-screen for the shop desk.

jb1016 · 12-18-2011, 09:04 PM

4 new 275/60/15 BFGs. My old tires were so bald I might not have made it to New Year's....

Here you go! If it will stop raining she will be back on the road.

Mac Arnold · 12-25-2011, 03:55 PM

I bought myself a painless wiring kit for my Custom 69 which I just finished two days ago, and it was not exactly painless (only because I have never done anything like this before) and I have only owned the truck for two weeks, but it is all done now. And works great!

Excellent! Subtle, and not overdone. I like it! Looks to me like it would fit right into Special K's thread on hot rods!
