I put a Ls engine in my truck

 

[ajstolz]

I'll always be a car guy through and through.
My 2001 Mustang Bullitt was my first car. Did so much with it.
Ready for my next one in a few years. This time I'll be looking at the Shelby route.

Not a lot of hobbies, but the ones I have, I am a bit passionate about. I would rather be looking for stuff in the woods than doing just about anything else

 

[Kaaanged]

Found out about some hobby grade rc years back and really got into em, cost less to fix than the real thing!

 

[Diamondback]

These are 3d printed miniature ships a buddy's developing, and I'm going to be painting and assembling some for my own wargaming use. These are British Canada-class 74-gun ships of the line in 1/700 (large), 1/1000 (medium) and 1/1200 (small) scales, and four of the 1/1000 models in that box are mine.

Interesting to find that most gun people are active in such a wide variety of things. Many, like me are into aviation & racing. I built racing engines for forty years, once was a pilot, and A&P mechanic specializing in recip engines.. I drove road racing cars for 18 years. I'm retired now, and this was the last race car I drove in 2008 when I was 58 years old.

 

[Bat-S-Crazy]

I love designing/making things out of wood( some with electronics) and I like taking pics of nature.

Really hankerin for a 61 Spider!

 

[Phred]

Danged Alfa drivers. This is from 1994. I built the the engine for the the WACO UPF-7 in the background, a Continental W-670. I maintained the 1965 Ferrari 275 GTS for a dear old friend who flew SBD Dauntless dive bombers during WWII.

 

[JKOLL]

Late '90's at SIR. I'm third from the front. John Shirleys Ex-Fangio GP car and Dellinus's GTZ are in there too, as well as Spyders and Even an S.S.!
Interestingly, Almost all of these guys also shot IPSC or benchrest. with me over the years. And I frequently flew together with many of them as well as they were almost all aviation enthusiasts, Owners or pilots. An appreciation of the engineering, design and craftsmanship is universal to any gearhead, no matter where it is found.

 

[sfcootz]

I ride motorcycles, I cook and I love the Grateful Dead. I listen to a lot of music. I'm the rider to the left.

I tend to repair and use old stuff, it's forced me to learn a whole lot about various subjects. It just makes me happy to get a broken piece of junk and get it working and looking good again.

Here is my 1964 Zenith 19" b&w TV, it sits next to my flatscreen. When bored or watching an old movie, I'll watch it with this.
