Tools You Got For Christmas
« on: December 26, 2014, 11:34:28 AM »
Santa (my wife) got me a Folding Welding Table.  Should work great for some of the fab work I have to do on the 33 over the winter.  Got it on sale from Eastwood.  The height is adjustable and it can tilt to different angles.  I also got a Craftsman Creeper from my son and daughter in law.  It'll replace the old wood one I've had since I was 18.
Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!

 Kool. I love spending other peoples money. I almost got a set of nice wrenches, but everyone had a chance to steel each others gifts in our secret santa giveaway. I was able to steel my front rims and hub caps back from my son n law. WHEW
