A 24" Oldsmobile Service metal sign, a set of factory seat covers with GMC logo for my truck and a bottle of Oban from the trophy wife & a bottle of Speyburn from a friend. It was a good Christmas.

Merry Christmas to you, Allan...
I am pretty sure it is an OEM part, I know it was rechromed. Looked pretty darn nice when i saw it. I have the exhaust trumpets already so just need to move the hangers.
My plans for the bumper guard holes is to insert some chromed carriage bolts to cover them up, since i have no bumper guards. I can get some measurements and details though.
I could add the guards later if i can find a good set.
What did Santa bring you??

Want to swap? Mine doesn't have holes and I need to get it pierced to put bumperettes on. I have the bumperettes. Also got new rubber inserts to go with them. I don't know whether the best way to pierce is by drilling or stamping? Anyway when you get a chance with those measurements it will help a lot. I suppose I could make a template with some cardboard, but I want to know just where the holes should line up to look factory.
Santa always brings me the best things: A great family and a good life. Oh yeah, I also got 4 new front teeth (no lie) with a promise of 4 more next year. It's not like I'm saying "you should see the other guy". I just need to get all the dental, plumbing and stuff done before June next year. My last day in the office is Feb 25, and my last vacation day is June 6. After that, it's freedom 55! and more time to work on my car.

I had this huge box to open and it had an olds decal on it. The mind was racing..it read "FRAGILE" so I knew it was imported from Italy!!!. Well it was a prepaid invoice to have my radio refurbished.... AM with FM and MP3 including new retro front and rear speaker. Now I can cruise with real tunes. Checked with the company doing it. It will have all original parts repaired and rechromed so it will look factory freash. Nice gift!

It is not perfect, but worth every bit I paid for it. It is a huge improvement over what I have now (rust pits from salt spray).
As you are choosing a place to order from, call them and see what the shipping would be. Mine shipped for an honest 63 bucks (40lbs) by fedex ground.
Some places may try to say they are triple-oversized and shipping would be over 150!
