1966 GTO and 1969 Buick Gran Sport.  :cooldancing:

Pics?  I LOVE 66 GTOs!  Most beautiful car GM ever built!



I build model cars, when I can find the time.  Now that I'm moved into a bigger apartment, and actually have the room, I'm gonna set up a little table in my room to finish all the model kits I've been sitting on for the last couple of years.

I have done alot of things in my life to keep me busy. I drag raced--motocrossed--hunted--fished--martial arts--photography-and a few other things. Now I am in to fossil hunting. It is kind of cool to find and hold a Meglodon shark tooth in your hand that is 5 to 30 million years old.

This is a great thread! :2thumbs:
There sure is a lot of talent flying around here! Right Wally. :2thumbs:

other Hobbys  :dunno:
Dunno what you mean ??

I have to agree with CP. I really enjoy restoration work. Electrical parts, heater boxes, and especially plastic grille restorations.
Here are some pictures from two V cars that I was asked to do. (And I'm still alive!)

Besides MOPARS??

Well I like the water and have a ski boat, pontoon boat and 2 jetski's.  I also like to play guitar and have many of those.  In the winter there is bowling and billiards and I play on a league for both.  In the summer, its softball and water sports.  Then we play golden tee all year long. 

Lately I'm working on the cars and trying to finish the basement at my house when I have time away from work. 

One more hobby to list . . . cuda-challenger.com!  Home away from home.   :cooldancing:

With me it is either car stuff or dog stuff (training, hiking, rescue work and helping other people with their pets' issues).  They pretty much take up all of my time.  I also like photography and have finally gotten a really nice SLR camera, so as soon as I get some time to play with it some more I will have lots of pics to post.  Oh, and RC cars and trucks are a blast too, but that is car related also.

Had some fun hobbies but recently me and the mrs. mostly support our kids in the sports that they like. My daughter is into softball, soccer and track. As an 8th grader she already played for the high school soccer team and it looks like as jr. high track is coming to a close she will be asked to compete for the high school to finish out their season. She plays on an all boys soccer team that has really brought her game along although I was against it at first. My son plays soccer also and this last year took up the trumpet in band. He has not found his love yet, except for video gaming that is. His plan is to be a programing supervisor as he puts it. He is in 7th grade. My daughter is a national honor student and my sons grades show he will get in this year as well. I also like to hunt and fish with my dad. We went oryx hunting last year, we go deer and elk hunting when we draw out. Bird hunting also as time allows.

ChallengerHK,

Absolutely beautiful pictures, those kinds of pictures don't happen every day or every year for matter of fact.  I take it your originally from Michigan?

Thanks, Snowdog. I'm originally from VA, went to the UP to get my MA, worked in Detroit for close to a decade, and now I'm in North Carolina. The second shot was done in Marquette and the fourth (amazingly) is near Detroit. All of those are first place winners, and I've got a wall in my home filled (literally) with my shots.

Speaking of not happening every day ... the last shot I chased for 3 years. I knew it was there, but I also knew that it needed just the right amount of snow and just the right light. Sometimes it would snow too much, sometimes it would snow just the right amount and I'd have to go to work, blah blah blah. One Friday night the forecast called for three inches of snow and I set my alarm so I'd be up and on site at 6 am to catch that shot.
