Hobbies, normal and unusual

[tkwetzel]

I have had several hobbies, some have come and gone and come back and such, while others have been on-going. They are listed below in no particular order.

1. Model rockets - building them, flying them, making custom rockets, etc.
2. Models of whatever - I build model cars, trucks, planes, boats, etc.
3. Cars - much like Jay...tinkering and such. I have a '68 Dodge Dart that is also a work in progress and is in decent shape and my daily driver (of which the engine is currently half taken apart). I also have a '73 Dodge Dart that I plan on taking the engine from and then passing the body on to someone who wants to use it for a drag car. I used to have a '72 SAAB 99E that I really wish I still had, but when I got the first Dart at home my parents said one of the cars had to go (so my second Dart sits at the shop I work at).
4. Building things - such as my chopper in my who-I-am picture.
5. Designing/building things for cars/trucks - I helped my friend engineer the front end for his '97 Dodge Dakota which we put a solid front axle in. So we had to make a new crossmember and engineer the suspension and steering.
6. R/C car - kinda got impatient with it though and haven't worked on it in a while (but hopefully I am getting back into it this spring...cause a lot of friends have gotten r/c cars).

I just love doing things with my hands...building, designing, and working on things.
