With Christmas eve now past and Christmas Day on the horizon, what did anyone get for their Charger for the holidays?  :popcrn:

I just finished wrapping the gifts for my kids, and there looked to be some pretty nice packages under the tree with my name on them  :2thumbs: We'll see what tomorrow brings... How about you? What did you score?  :shruggy:


MERRY CHRISTMAS

resq302

they make snuggies with a 69 charger on it?!?!?!?  where, where, where? 

dad got me the stuff I needed to rebuild the original set of leaf springs for my charger.  Thats pretty much it as the charger needs minimal stuff for it now.  I can't wait to swap out those crappy replacement Mopar Perf. HD springs that now look more like a w vs the u.

Is there actually an option for these cars you haven't bolted on there yet?   :icon_smile_big:
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Cooter

No car stuff at all. Costs too much....

Besides, I spent Xmas eve and day, getting my Kid off the side of the road in some POS Chevy Monte Carlo of the 3.1 Liter, 1998 Vintage.
Bragged about how his girlfriends grandparents who are in Florida, decided to "Allow" him and her to use this POS while her parents are still FLa. (She flew in to see him on leave from the military), and how the Coolant looked like river mud, engine has a suspicious "Knock/tick" sound, and how much of a turd it was, yet didn't STOP DRIVING IT.....until I get a call about 11:00 PM Xmas Eve to come and get that POS off the side of the road, about 30 miles out.

So, the wifey decides to get me a Tattoo give cirtificate to the Tattoo shop, as the artist is a "Friend"....
I get there, the whole time she's asking if I'm excited or not. I knew what was coming, so I said nothing till I got there, then the guy (Freak with his whole head tattoo'd and what's referred to as "Snake bites" in his lips), can't seem to understand what I WANT and proceeds to "Tell me what I want"...

Left without the tattoo and wifey's pissed at me for "Not accepting her gift properly"...

Yeah, hadda GREAT Xmas.

The charger is getting a new 36 x 26 garage for Christmas......as soon as I get done building it.....almost read for concrete though!
Remember the average response time to a 911 call is over 4 minutes.

The average response time of a 357 magnum is 1400 FPS.

I spent $340 on a tune for the BBD by an engine builder/mechanic who has done work on my mates cars , race cars and race boats. Dialled in carb and dizzy properly, man, it runs strong now. Got a big summer trip coming up on Saturday.                                            Cooter, I'd walk too. If you cant personally pick your preferred tattman or the one thats done previous work for you then why be forced into a no win. Wife probly should've asked ''where and who'' first.

Some paint----see attached.  The body work is now done and the underneath and inside are painted with single stage.  Next step will be 2-stage on the outside and the fenders, doors, hood and trunk lid installed.  At this point, the car will come home to my garage for me to finish.

Sadly, I got nothing charger related for christmas.  (to be honest, with our money situation, we just bought food and a couple gifts for the kids this year)

It's hard to stay positive about the charger when I know I won't be able to afford to do anything to it for probably several years.  I wish I had a safer place to store it.  As it is I pull my daily driver in roughly 8 inches to the left of it every night and expose the car to any bad weather/wind when the now borken garage door is open.

I bought another set of R/T taillights to get past problems with the set for which I'd already paid way too much and finally got them installed.
