What else are you guys into? cars, planes, trains, motorcycles, quads, guns, knives, shoes....whatever your other hobbies are, lets see them. anything goes as long as it is not truck related.

Been tinkering on my Camaro for a few years. I also have a thing for S&W revolvers.

I don't really have any good pictures of it. The paint is pretty rough, but it'll be okay for now just to drive it for a while. I don't have a shop or garage anymore, so I do everything in the driveway. It's usually either too cold or too hot, or too windy. But here's an old pic from the day we brought it home (in Alaska).

And here's how she looked after driving to Wyoming.

The 350 in it is apparently a lot lighter than the factory iron headed 327, so the nose was sky high. Last month I cut 1 1/4 coil off the front springs. Looks better now. Still a long ways to go though.

round fenders and no side markers means 67, right?

Hurst Super Comp shifter, from a Chevelle. Got this all put together and adjusted last weekend.

Next up is dash and gauge wiring. The previous owner replaced the entire harness in the car, but quit when he got to the dash. I decided to replace his choice of AutoMeter Phantom gauges with some new electronic stuff from New Vintage USA.

Yes sir, it's a '67. I hope that someday it will look as nice as your '69.

Here's what I do the most these days. It's a do-everything boat. I hunt, fish (a lot) camp, and just ride a lot. I'm looking to start a little bow fishing later on in the summer. Gathering parts to build my light rail now. I put around 150hrs a year on it. More than some of you *******' trucks.

I'm tired of being somewhere fishing and watching 40-50lb gar rolling all around me and I can't do anything about it lol. I prefer to bowfish at night from what I can tell (so much cooler) so I'm gonna put some LED's around it and see what I can do. Trying to get good stuff but not invest a ton. My wife already said I need another hobby like a hole in my head. I tend to agree but whatever lol. I picked up an older Matthews bow from the pawn shop and am having it restrung now. I'll need a reel and such for it. Just undecided on what to get. I'm sure I'll hit up the San Jac and the Trinity rivers to fish/bowfish. I'll give you a ring.
