Other hobbies, what do you do?

Clubin I got a stuck chev too.


My old hobby, before wife and kids sucked up all my play money, was full scale 4x4 tinkering, used to buy junk strip them to the chassis and then rebuild them moo style...here's what I did to unstuck junk IFS chevy.





just add 1979 f350 front end and 4 link suspension and you have a decent truck...except the junk 6.5 diesel...i should have put a cummins in this one











as soon as my shop is built i'll be tackling a buggy with a large bike engine similar to the rage buggy http://www.ragemotorsport.com/

What is that shaker? Excuse me I live in a balloon. lol

It is a table top war game that you build the mini's then paint them then play with them. Look at http://us.games-workshop.com/

Only pictures of my guitars are in my rc pics in the background. I have 3 guitars that I play as often as I can; acoustic/electric 6 string cutaway is my fav, a typical electric and a mini flying V (for my mini ozzy set). the mini V needs a lot of work to be playable still. I got it for when I was doing security work and had to sit in the car. watching movies gets boring and I have run out of books to read, so grabbed this tiny guitar as it is easier to play sitting in the car


that and my business is my hobby. I am an auto detailer mainly and I love taking an old car/truck and making it look good. Polishing black cars is my specialty... it's a lot harder than people realize and about half of my customers have black vehicles

Moo, nice solid front axle conversion.

 

[mooman007uk]

I tried airbags at first and hydraulic ram steering but junked it in favour of springs and steering box and linkage, it's still running around up in Quesnel.


looks like I might have just scored a buggy with VW drivetrain...running for $500...I'll be looking for a CBR1000 motor or similar to throw in it, little does the wife know what this will is gonna end up like

WOW, such a wide variety of hobbies. Keep em coming.

 

[mooman007uk]

I forgot to add boating and a bit of fishing and i used to clay pigeon shoot, i was actually pretty good at that....just seems like i don't have enough leisure time anymore and my hobbies get neglected, got so much on this weekend doubt if I'll even get the rampage out for a run.

these are 16” personal pontoon boats with 5hp Honda motors. we pull em up the Colorado River to our camp for some serious duck hinting and fishing. or we take em to the lake. they have a deck you can stand on for fly action or 12 gauge fun. like driving a little race car on the water. they don’t pull real well behind the Triton Dave Skadden builds a great pontoon
