The Expensive Hobby

Not gaming related but I wanted to start keeping track of the progress on the restoration of my old high school ride, a 1965 Ford Mustang.  I joined a local car club (Las Cruces Rodrunners) and we hosted our annual Wheels of Dreams car show last weekend.  My car is still in the body shop but I hope to get it back in a month or two.  I took some pics of the Mustangs at the show, there were over 200 cars but only a few Mustangs this year.

  1. Ooo - those are some damned good looking motors!

    Nice to see pics of this mythical "side project" you've talked about.

    1. There were some great looking cars there, wife and kids kept me from getting any more pics. Hopefully when mine is finally done she'll look as good!
