Well let me take a look under the tree, oh yes I got a pair of NOS fender extensions, a pair of triple chrome plated show quality bumpers from Tri-City in Tennessee (technically I got them last week but its during Christmas week), a set of chrome plated 6 ton jack stands with locks from Sam's club, a 266 piece craftsman SAE socket & wrench set (I got this a month ago but its during Christmas month).

Not sure what the dickens I am going to use the combination wrenches over 1" on

And one more big ticket item, I am going on a road trip in a little while to pick up a pair of NOS fenders with GM labels still on them.

I must have been real good to deserve all of this stuff, & I do mean gooooooood.

Merry chistmas to all & have a safe & happy new years, DRIVE SAFE & very carefully !

1952 Chevrolet 4 door Deluxe Sedan with a 216.5ci in line 6 with the last RAJO (RAcine JOe) Power Cylinder Head that never went to production, designed by grandfather in the 1940's. Joe designed, built & sold all over the world performance heads during the 10’s, 20's, 30's & 40's starting with an OVERHEAD VALVE CONVERSION HEAD for the Model T Ford flathead. Joe drove in the FIRST INDY 500 in 1911 as car # 8 & was known nationally in racing circuits as "The Flying Dutchman".

Watch for my SS496 Chevelle as a pace car at Indy in 2011 (100 years after Grandpa Joe) IF THEY WILL LET ME !

I got a nice trunk mat from Ground-up, and new door seals. My wife is VERY accepting (so far). I think it worked well to set up a giftlist on the web with direct links to the items I wanted. Then send her the URL for the list. Easy for her, fun for me.
