OK, what did everyone get for Christmas, El Camino related that is? Santa (me) got a new 2000 lb. engine hoist, 1000 lb. engine stand and load leveler package (no more beggin to borrow now), :D a vintage (ok used off ebay) 1972 168 tooth 11" disc flywheel (for the motor I'm building for the Elky) :-D and a brand new shiny Craftsman torque wrench (dial type) from my son! :-) ...Who needs clothes, I'll work nekid on my Elky if I have too! (not a pretty site):lol:

Merry Christmas All,

Elcamino related I got seat covers with flames stitched in.
Told the wife I wanted seat covers with the Hot Wheels logo. Gonna trade up tomorrow.

Santa brought me a new Goodmark cowl hood. I must have been really good this year!

I didn't get anything specifically for the car, except an emergency kit, some nice cleaning stuff, and a nice car vacume. All stuff I'll get a lot of use of, except hopefully not that emergency kit :)

Well my wife bought me my first El Camino (68')....Yehawwwwwwww I just love that little lady. My Christmas list for 2004 should be lengthy...hehe

Picking it up January 2nd, and cant wait. :thumbsup:

Hope all of you had a very Merry Christmas

Yes Santa came to my house he left.

One front spoiler.
One tailgate chrome trim (top)

Merry Christmas everyone.
I got a Flex-a-lite dual electric fan setup for my car. Woohoo, I get 15hp refund!
My dad got an aluminum racing jack and I bought him a 122pc. Craftsman tool set with the huge laser engraved markings. Nice and easy to read, so no more squinting when looking for tools!

i got a new computer (which i am using to answer this)
and i got a MUSCLE MACHINES '59 El Camino. the instructions say 8 and up but it took me an hour to put together! (small screws big hands!) it looks really cool sitting on top my T.V.

Santa came, He looked around,must have seen me, and left enough coal to fill the bed of my elky. Kinda expected that. :(

My wife got me a car cover for the Elky! No more layer of winter dust 8)

I must've been REALLY good this year, as I got a MIG welder, ARC welder, complete car stereo (to replace the non-exhistant stereo in the Sprint now), and an oxy/acetelene welding/cutting set-up. Oh, and of course I got the usual clothes that are destined to be stained with oil, grease, and anything else I can find.

Santa was good to me this year. Got a CD head unit for the elky, 6X9s and a bass box. He also brought me a creeper (BADLY needed with 3 "project cars" underway).

Thanx Santa!!!

We don't exchange gifts anymore because we pretty much take care of each other throughout the year...so it's kinda like Christmas year round! Including car parts :D

The one thing we did do for ourselves was to upgrade our twenty something year old stereo system with a new 700 watt Sony home theater system...this thing rocks (literally!) Also added a new turntable for all our old vinyl too. This is the funny part! My 22-year-old son asked "How do you change tracks?" Lift the needle!, doh! :P

well i did not get the air shocks i wanted, or the new 350, but i got a kick ass wrench/socket set... and i got some new ray bans...(elky related b/c they make me look cool while im driving 8-) )

That's funny Motorbreath! I like that... so, I guess I can claim a few CDs that my son gave me which I play in my El Camino :oha: Anyone heard of Euphone or Tortoise?

I got a 17in" flat screen Sony monitor and a Sony DVD burner.I haven't used the burner yet but the flat screen makes the PICS look alot better then that old 1997 15in. I had.
Merry X-mass all.

I had a Craftsman\Lionel Christmas...New compressor,more drawers for tool box, metric wrenches, (didnt have to use them before, I dont think GM could make up thier mind std or metric on the 84s) 4 new rail cars(Not elcamino but fun stuff)

Nothing for the elky, but I didn't ask for anything for it either. 8-)

HAHA! I feel your pain. The first time we had a big project for the Camino, my dad and I both said "is half this car metric and the other half standard?!?!"

It's a pain in the butt!

clothes, money, and my parents paid for the machine work on the block.

I got a 1:18 scale Chevy Thunder 70 SS and a new El Camino shirt ( So I can really say that my clothes were El Camino related ) :P

:D I got a dashcover, new trim, new door and rail gaaskets, a car cover, a power antenna, and a new molded carpet set. I must have been better than I thought this year. :cool: I did not get the chrome valve covers i practically begged for, so i must have been a little bad :? I guess that will give me incentive to behave more next year, (although Santa brought my wife a 1 carat diamond necklace that cost as much as my Elky did when I bought it). I have now dedicated myself to adding more bling-bling to my Elky to compete with that diamond. 8)

Got my complete weatherstrip kit, body bushing kit, radiator support bushing kit, and 4 brand new Crager Super Spoke rims, new door hinges, and new hood hinges with springs. Last but not least a new 50 piece air tool set to help change all this stuff out. It's gonna be a busy New Year.

The only Elky-related gifts I got were an electric blanket (which doesnn't have a long enough cord to go to the bed for when I REALLY need it :lol: ) and a tire repair kit with first aid and yadda yadda in it. Hopefully the tire kit won't be needed, but then you know what they say -- if you don't have it, you'll need it, and if you get it, you won't need it anymore!

And I guess I can't forget the money I'm going to be using for gas and parts once I get my license (one week till my test!) and all the parts my dad bought that I might not have to pay for! Didn't get my window seals or seat covers like I asked for, or a stereo for that matter...But then again, I can find excuses to get those!

is this what we got from others or bought ourselves? ummm i got a 50-200 shot nitrous complete kit from summit. i bought myself a new mrv-f340 alpine amp for my mids and highs. bought myself sum new 275 60 15 dunlops for the rear. custom built tranny from sr7 performance in las vegas. new tranny cooler. and metering rods so i dont go lean when juicing. i still dunno when my 4 link is gunna get here. and i bought myself a new slp spoiler for my grand prix. it gets here the 5th and goes for paint for a couple days. pics will follow of the nitrous install and spoiler.

I got a 100 amp, brand new, chrome case alternator. I really needed to upgrade the electric output.

And it's really shinny and cool looking!

Thanks to my wife, Margo.
