Some of you guys might have noticed that I havent been on as much lately.  Well I went back to college for one thing, so that takes up alot of my time.  The other thing is, I worked on my Charger almost non stop this summer, to the point where I was starting to get a little burnt out on it.  I think I brought my car a long ways since I bought it in March though.  I know it doesnt really show a whole lot but heres a before and after (up to this point anyway).   



Basically what it came down to, was that I dont have the money to do everything the right way at the moment, and I dont have a garage either...   so I had to put things on hold for a while. 
In the meantime I decided to do something else I have always wanted to do...  Buy and sell original Nintendo (NES) games.  I'm just getting started so I really don't have alot of inventory yet (just a hundred or so games) but it seems to be going well so far.  I have a few systems im repairing that will be added to the site soon too.  I have alot of work to do and changes to make still but its been really fun so far and its helping my own collection out quite a bit too.  Right now in my collection I have 135 or so different games and there is around 770 total. 
I still have the Charger in the driveway and its not going anywhere but its nice to have a second hobby to balance things out a little.  Anyway here is my site. www.nesdude.com  it's my first attempt at making an actual site too, so feel free to check it out and let me know what you think.

It's been a while since I've seen snow on an engine... just thought I'd share that.

Matt, the Charger is looking great.   It's came a long way since you bought. When I did my 70 Barracuda it took me 5 years. All good things take time.

Lookin Good

Thanks I worked my ass off on it but you can only do so much in the driveway with little tools.  I have the car and most of the parts I need though, so the biggest part is taken care of.  Now I just need to get the money to get it done the right way.

Best game system ever made.   

I did the primer, its just a rattle can job to cover up the turd brown paint...  not to mention the green door and front valance, yellow rear valance, purple hood and white fender.

Yeah they bring back alot of memories huh?  It's great to sit down with friends and relive the past playing all the old games again!

[Arthu®]

It was the first type of video game I ever played I loved Donkey Kong and Super Mario Bros! I think we sold or threw away our console when I was like eight because then the PS1 hit the market and I got one for my b-day.
