Off road racing(fab work is almost a full time job on these vehicles!)
Boating (Bust out another thousand)
Rc airplanes/RC cars
Car building(3 projects as of right now :( )

Guess all I'm missing is real flying... oh wait, I'm in school now to become a pilot  :icon_smile_blackeye:

Lately I would say It's following my girls to after school activites the past several years. Oldest plays high school varsity golf team, youngest is on the high school volleyball team

I really get the feeling that a lot of the folks that restore or keep these old chargers also have other hobbies that take a lot of patience for detail work.   Well who would have thought!!!!

Just saying that alot of people don't work around these smaller scale hobbies. I can work on and around old mopars all day and all night but I tried to build a couple of model cars for myself and it's just not the same thing. Thanks for the negative remark tho.... I was just admiring the work that he had put into an awesome looking set up!!

Nice Pinball games...that Twilight game is Sweet. Very high demand game. I restored a Godzilla game have a Home use only South Park, Black Knight and Black Knight 2000. We need to get a pinball tournament going :2thumbs:

Thanks!   My boys are quite good a pinball and it's fun to trash talk while playing against them. Good Father son time for sure!  A tourney would be fun.

Cool. Do you trade them often?  I can't seem to let them go when I pick them up.  :brickwall:

I don't think that green69rt was being a smart a$$ or making any negative remarks. I think he was just commenting on the detail in the hobbies and that it seemed like a logical conclusion that maybe just occurred to him?   :cheers:

don't normally trade machines, but that could change. I don't have much room for any more, but I said the same thing  about mopars. lol. moving pinballs around isn't my favorite thing to do, but if I find a deal on one I like, well, ya know.
