What Do You Want For Christmas?
« on: December 18, 2015, 06:07:06 PM »
Okay, the big day is only a week away.  I'm sure you have been making a list.  So what do you want for Christmas?

I've already got the car (actually cars) and it is running fine.  So I'm just hoping that Santa (and the weatherman) will fulfill the current forecast here for Christmas day: sunny and warm!  After overeating, I plan to take a drive in the Camaro. And, maybe, a boat ride...

Hope you get what's own your list!

Dear Santa -

An original tinted windshield for my 11C early 69 camaro
A set of XT wheels painted red
NOS outer fuzzies
NOS SS emblems
And 4 rubber bumpers for a console mounted 8track in a pear tree.

And a paint job.

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth!

Merry Christmas to all!

 The magical ability to stand in front of my car that's still under construction and say "OK.....show me" and it then begins to transform itself into a completed car. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=455Dt6KsPuA

On second thought, I want an official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle with a compass in the stock and this thing which tells time!

All I want for christmas ....

When I was a kid I could fit all my (nice) Hot Wheels into the wood display case my "bisnonno" made for me, (italian great grandfather). I could line them all up, change the order change the direction and just admire all the candy colors and detail of the bodies.

All I want for Christmas is ONE building to put all my current vehicles in... line them up and pull up a chair and just take it all in. I have had vehicles in 3 different states, in 4 different towns for as long as I can remember. Which is probably no better than a bunch of you who have everything in front of them, but have a bunch of stuff packed around each one, like a nest made of junk. We all have some kind of plan to get them on the road right? ???

So since it is still going to be a handful of Christmases before I can see that happening, how about a more realistic wish from Santa

And since I know you guys are already looking for original parts for me....haha ;) ::)

I would like to see pics of my CRG friends cars getting posted in the spring and summer being finished up and getting assembled to be taken out.

Ohiobill, Bentley, Gary, Jano, Abiddle, (sorry if I missed anyone)

So make my christmas wishes come true guys and get a plan together to finish those cars up and get them on the road....

A even better (future) wish would be,  a "CRG round up" , which would be a huge get together of all of us with our cars , and inviting anyone else with 1st gen!

( I can dream can't I) ;D

thanks :)

Like somebody just posted....time is what I'd like. Shy of a few items, It's really ready to be hammered away at for reassembly. No BS, older we get, the quicker time cruises by. Joke to my buddies is " boats 11 years old, and put 50 hours on it, around 100 passes on the drag car we built 9 years ago, Z...lol, Lawn mower , 7 years old, 600 hours!"

I was a Hot Wheels/Match Box car fanatic also. I too had my "daily play with" and my " look at only"  Things really haven't changed!

A financial backer..  Or find the original owner of my 68 Z.

Funny how everyone wishes for time.  One year, 3 months and I retire for good.  I hate to wish my life away, but I'm looking forward to March 2017.  coincidentally the birth date of my Z11!

I know this is not Camaro related. This my wife and I project/present for this year. Ours is not going to be quite that rusty.  It's '65 Turq. metallic (just Base Coat) with patina. Cab is done, I'll try to get a pic. posted.  My wish is to get the tailgate finished in time.
