Did Santa leave any cool Vette stuff under your tree?

This is the first Christmas having our '72. She is tucked in the garage, all snug & cozy waiting for Spring.

Santa left her a new front nose emblem w/ correct red paint.

No pics to post, as I'm sure you all know what an emblem looks like.
Whatcha got???

When I think about you, I touch my Elf..... Merry Christmas!

I got a mandrel bend exhaust system for my 69 Vette and a couple of nice Vette T-shirts. I also got a set of those new Kobalt Double Drive ratchet wrenches and screwdrivers- not Vette specific but they'll be used a bunch on the Vettes.

My youngest daughter Kayla 20 years old drew this for me for Christmas, she used colored markers, on a 15X20 board. The best present I have ever received.

That's cool, I love the gifts that obviously have a lot of thought and time invested in them, those are the best.

My family got me a complete rear suspension/drivetrain assembly to rebuild for my '80 so I wouldn't have to let mine sit on jackstands for months. Batwing, trailing arms, even the cables and brake lines. The whole thing from the driveshaft to the lug nuts. I'm excited!
