New vinyl top and trim for my Barracuda.
273 Commando heads, intake, cam, and aircleaner.

Go with the Mod Top.  Very groovy!


First off, no.  Secondly, they don't repop the Mod Top material.  All they have is what's leftover, and they won't sell that to anyone unless they prove they own an original Mod Top car.  Mine isn't even an original vinyl top car.
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.  Especially if they have access to the internet.

I have an Excel sheet that has all of my parts broken down into different sections and also has them listed as Purchases # 3 - 8 (1 & 2 were purchased this past summer).

My Wife has a copy of the list (yeah, she hit the roof when she saw the total around $7,000.00 CDN) but said she would suggest it to different family members.

Purchase # 3 has already taken place, I know that thanks to the dopes at YO.   Although the products were shipped to the In-Laws, they sent the invoice to my office.   A good score as # 3 was worth over $700.00 CDN.   Now, if I can get someone to get Purchase # 4 for me, I could put another $600.00 CDN towards something else.



That's a great idea Shakey! The only thing I see myself getting stuck on is basically going through all the catalogs and brochures, magazines, etc, trying to find the best price/deal for the parts. Example lets say "weather stripping". I know there is several sources, but it will take time to figure out who has the best deal. You have to take into account which includes delivery, any discounts, and pricing. My wife said she would get me parts that I want (not too many - $ limit), but I have to tell her exactly where to get them. How do you find time to do this shopping around for the great deal on top of work and other Christmas commitments?

Over the past few months, I have spent countless hours "shopping" through catalouges and web sites and usually find a measly $10.00 -$20.00 difference.  I have realized that Year One has "almost" everything I need and if I can locate a 20% discount code, it works out pretty reasonably.  Sure shipping can be pricey (consider yourself lucky as you don't have to pay 7% on every dollar coming over the border) but it is one stop shopping and the products are, well the same as you will get elsewhere. 

I find the most managable way is to break the overall project into smaller projects.  That way, you can deal with smaller lists and plan each job accordingly.  You should know this as you are well versed in project managment!  One project overlaps into another.

I simply gave my Wife the list of exactly what she needed to buy (part #, decription, price) as well as the discount code.  Sure that takes the surprise out of it, but who cares.  Her folks and my folks are always wondering what to get me, for the first time in years I have a Christmas list.

Sometimes, the amount of time you spend shopping around for the best deal, ends up costing you more in your valuable time.

I want a new kitchen sink, one deep enough to clean pots in...I want to go to sleep wrapped up in Jonathan's arms and to wake up beside him.  I want my family healthy.  I want to be able to get something for each person I love that makes them smile and feel really special. :)

I've asked the wifey for NOS side marker lenses and a grey plaid trunk mat for my '69 Charger.  I think I'll get them too!

Where did you locate the NOS side markers?  I have a set from The Paddock which cost me $80.00 USD.  How much are the NOS?

BTW, this doesn't seem like a tall order hopefully it will work out!

69_500

Well my wish list this year for Christmas is like any other year. Very short, only 2 items on the list.

1) 1969 Dodge Daytona, 4 speed. (prefer a HEMI, but a 440 is fine, and only in these colors, B5, Q5, A4, or X9. Might consider R4 if it has white interior, and a white stripe)
2) 1969 HEMI Charger 500 (only if it is a 4 speed, prefer with power windows and cloth insert seats as well)


71Charger500

Aluminum heads.  Of couse, they are expensive, but we could trade in the cast iron ones which are brand new for a lot of the cost.
1971 Charger 500 383 mod...
