Event Coverage Christmas, what did all the good H.A.M.B.ers get?

Hopefully all H.A.M.B.ers had a Merry Christmas and were good boys and girls.

Books-
ISKY Ed Iskenderian and The History of Hot Rodding and Paved Track Dirt Track Racing at Old Bridge Stadium and Nazareth Raceway

D.V.D.s
Thru My Lens An Intimate Look at the Syracuse Finale and Two Lane Black Top

 

Mostly toys for me (new camera system, some model train stuff), but the gauges are for my Model A build. So is ordering a complete frame, but that's a few months down the road. Santa was very good this year. Gary

 

Very nice, I also got a lap top computer. Just got it set up and this is my first post with it!

 

Santa got me a brand new red Carhartt jacket that I needed real bad for these cold Michigan winters....
Thank you Santa!!!!!

 

12hrs of 2 1/2x pay. Finishing up a 18hr shift at noon,Then some sleep and then I start drinking before going to brother in laws for dinner.

 

Car detailing stuff and most of a 1956 Lionel set

 

Got to be a year older on the 24th, now officialy a senior at 65,,,never thought I'd make it.

 

A battery powered Milwaukee 3/8ths ratchet! Before opening it I thought 'hmm, a tin of nuts. I'll just open them now to snack on'. It took my breath away when i saw what it was.
Merry Christmas All you HAMB'rs you!

 

I can only afford to count my blessings this year. My wife and I both lost our jobs this past summer, but somehow we were able to but her dieabetic supplies and pay the mortgage on time. So I can't complain to much

 

I got a new drivers side window regulator for my F-100, a few new additions to my wardrobe, a couple gift cards and a dreams of Linda Vaughn dancing in my head.

Family is the best gift of all!

 

Got 2 sets of remote control FAO Schwartz dodgem bumper cars (4 cars total) just like the ones my brother, cousins & I used to race at Crystal Beach amusement park (Ohio) in the 50's. Only problem is both red cars & both the blue cars are on the same frequency. Any ideas on how to shift the frequency?? Nothing obvious on the cars or remotes.

I almost forgot about the L.E.D. drop light

 

Robert, my best gift was spending Christmas eve with my Father. He had just enough Bourbon to tell the rarely heard WWII stories. Pop was a B-24 pilot. He'll be 96 on the 29th of this month. He just renewed his drivers license. Showed it to me saying that he's now he is covered until he is 105. Picture is him driving his Roadster. Ron

 

I got word that my daughter was acceppted into nurse practitioners school in rochester minnesota. Her clinicals will be at the mayo clinic. No store bought gifts can give a parent the kind of feeling they get when their kids are living out their dreams.

 

............God Bless Him!.Without his courageous efforts we might all be speaking German or Japanese right now.....or worse.

 

Great, like I said Family is the gift best of all!
Thank your father for his war service, I would love to hear those war stories!!!

 

Santa dropped these off here.

 

new wheels for my 40 ford pickup and got my garage painted at my vegas house and hung my stuff from my Carlsbad days ( native Carlsbad )

 

Fresh short block for the Salt Shaker.
Nothing special but at least this could keep from having to be "That Guy" that oiled down the track.

 

I got the new Tardel book for myself even though I don't have an "A", but it is full of just good info. Worth the money without a doubt. My wife used to get me good books every year, but she has gone on. Good memories of years past.

 

Got the new Von Dutch book from the Rodders Journal and it is fantastic. Over 400 hundred pages and photos.

 

I joined this forum a few years ago, but have been mostly lurking, slowly gathering parts. Finally got a huge piece of the puzzle for Christmas (thanks Sean!). We think it’s a 26 Willy’s.

 

I got my father the Tobias book and built a fire place backstop for my mother

 

my sister kept these a secret from me for the past six months. Hopup magazine and Vans shoes did a run on these and I never thought Ide get them !

The book that set the hook, and almost caused me to repeat the 7th grade. Twenty years of searchin' swap meets and found it under the tree.
Not H.A.M.B. friendly at first glance, but unlike todays "how to bolt on" guides this one shows how to sew your own pleats, make your own roadster top,and some cat named "Jake" chopping his '34 3 window coupe and plenty more.
Merry Christmas to you all.

 

Nothing. Nada. Zip.
My family doesn't do gifts anymore,we all have more than we need

 

I got a DeWalt 3/8' compact-impact. 2 - 20V batteries and charger.......

 

All I got this year was a "piece"and a pr of stretch sox....Both too big...
