Default Christmas *FREEBIE* thread...

In the spirit of Christmas season, I thought I would start a thread of *FREEBIE* parts that I don't need and maybe one of you can put to good use. I had a very good year... of which I know many did not... so, maybe some of you can use some of these things. I plan on going C-5 in January and will be selling the C-3 to do it, so again, these are things I would like to give away(includes FREE shipping). I IM'd George if it would be alright to start this thread and he said it was okay. I changed what I originally told George to free shipping, but that's only because that's the way I want it. The spirit just isn't there if I have to ask for money. (I will not pay to ship out of the lower 48 states, but if someone outside that area is willing to pay shipping I will gladly do it) All items will go UPS as I will not fight the Post Office this time of the year.

Please Read:

If you do not need these parts for a project you have going on or have planned do not take them from someone who can actually use them. Moving them from one garage to another is not what this is about. Post in this thread that you want the item and then IM me. The first answer in the thread(not IM) will get it.

End of Please Read

Everyone is welcome to add their parts(you dont have to follow my rules) as you wish.

I have about 8-10 items that will go up one at a time over the next few days. Some are very good stuff.... some not so good. The first item goes up in the next post.

:cheers: & Happy Holidays to everyone!

Spring tester goes to Pat. Next item is...........

For those of you who might be changing over to a fiberglass rear mono-spring I encourage you to think about wrapping that spring away from the exhaust. My last VBP spring got wasted because of the heat.

Item #2 - Approximately 25 foot of 2" wide x 1/16" thick fiberglass exhaust header wrap. (Claimed by Shrike) No longer available.

Hate to ask, but if anyone has a radio dash bezel for a 73', I could use one.

Thanks and great thread, wish I had something to offer.

I could use the carb spacer, will look at what I can donate as well, did this a few years ago and gave my a/c unit away and a few other parts. Great idea again. :cheers:
