Hey, Don.

I used Discover card kickback money to get myself a compressor (Sears, cheap but serviceable) which is mostly for the Challenger.

Tools were big this year. Got a new compressor, air angle die grinder, and a 4 inch digital caliper. I did get new tinted door glass for my Cuda as they had some scratches in them.

I got a little companion for my car: a 1/24 scale funny car that I'll paint up to look like my car but with a funny car theme.  Comes with '72 Challenger grill and tail panel decals.

BTW, how are you doing, Don?  How's your Christmas?  Hope you have a Happy New Years!  :grinyes:

1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

Nah, Santa focused on outfitting my Xbox with games and accessories.

But hopefully I'll be heading down south here soon to get my 440 BIG BLOCK...  I guess I could put it in a big red sack for the drive back....  :)

It's not exactly a Christmas present but I dropped mine off last week to get a new paint job, including new quarters and rear valance so I can upgrade the exhaust and run it out the back.  I've been saving up the money since last January, but it's actually been in planning for about 3 years.

My wife got me the Mopar black cast air cleaner to match my covers, the only problem is (yes hood clearance , I have a 1" plastic spacer under the carb) the mopar base is a 1/4" rise and my drop base is a 1 1/2" down. Now my old one is 14" round and the Mopar is 13" round. went to the auto store and got a 2" tall element that only drop it 3/4", still no good. Still need to go down 1" more. Ok , did I confuse everybody yet?. I'm running a Electric choke T-Q so the 13" base if I could find one will not work because it will hit the choke. So my game plan for now is: 1. use my 14" drop base with that element and the new Mopar lid which looks a little short or 2. return it to Summit and put my chrome covers back on with the chrome lid.  :dunno:

I got a set of 15" Rallye wheels, trim rings, and center caps.  Also the tires to go on them.  I actually got them a bit before Christmas but it seemed fair because I gave my wife some of her stuff early too.  Neither of us is particularly patient.

I would post a picture, but I figure you guys know what a Rallye wheel looks like.

I also got a couple of Mopar Hotwheels.
not a bad year overall.
