Some of my past times:
My Jeep
My Fish
My Bird
and becuase it involves some cool tools, working w/Stain Glass

of course my biggest past time is home improvement and I'm going to start on a radiant floor installation for the entire 1st floor of the house.  Already got the tubing now I am finalizing the layout.

Hey, Dave. Funny, I was thinking about making a similar post just a couple of days ago.

Aside from the Challenger, which is more of a way of life than a hobby -

I'm a photographer (2 35mm bodies, 2 4x5 bodies, boatload of lenses). This is also becoming less of a hobby and more of a business, but I'm trying to still do the things I like with it. I'm waiting for digital prices to fall into line with the capabilities of the cameras vis-a-vis what I already have.

I'm a strategy wargamer, recreating things like Gettysburg, or things that never existed like a game based on starship combat in Star Trek.

I'm a writer. Since I write for a living now (as an instructional designer), I don't tend to do a lot of writing for fun, but every now and then I get the urge.

I used to build models, but I don't have the time or eyesight any more. I've kept all of my e-body kits (more than a dozen of them) and one day I'll probably start back on them. Everything else went to e-bay. BTW, is that a Ross Gibson motor you're holding?

55 shivy, ya i know shivy,but
had it in storage for years before my son was born

Hi Dave,

That 55, is it a black one made by Monogram that has slotted rims and a straight axle in the front, with a clear hood scoop?  Is so, does it have wheels that don't spin but are just glued on?
1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

Phil in New England-Massachusetts  Always thank God for what you have!

Hobbies other than the Cuda;
1. Spending time with my 14 year old son.
2. Home improvement
3. Combat pistol competition shooting
4. Riding my 77 Harley Electra-Glide

I haven't had much time for the last 2 lately because of the first two, but my wife is done with nursing school now and is working as an R.N. so we decided it's time for a new Harley. I just special ordered a 2007 Electra Glide Ultra Classic Peace Officers Edition. Should be here in three months or less, and I'll be doing a lot more riding!
