Funny how arcade game and car hobbies cross over.

Here's mine. It's been several years since last taking it to the track. My focus has been work and completing the garcade (which is nearly done, now).
Will be shifting attention to this soon. Have a pesky boost leak that needs to be located and repaired. Our youngest son (M18) has recently taken an interest in cars so has been pushing me to get back into it.

I didn't remember the Vega coming with cowl induction. Must have been a dealer option 
Yeah. Didn't quite come that way. It's a complete tube chassis car with an LS3 and a Tremec 6 speed manual trans.I didn't remember the Vega coming with cowl induction. Must have been a dealer option

So you did all that work and left an unassembled Jeep in the rafters? For shame (owner of 2 Jeeps here)
I really need to teach you how to attract can do repair kind of people in your life, laughs.
Nothing like says. I need this part and the machinist in the group says we can build that of course the 3d model people say we can print you the plastic equivalent.
I still complain that the guy with the cat bulldozer won't let us work on it. Selfish son of a ..... laughs
I'm not as much of a car guy as my dad was (he had many) but here's my 66 mustang I've had since '87. I love working on it. And it's a daily driver. My 86 harley fxrc probably qualifies for this thread too. I inherited it from my dad (I have another harley too). And while I'm at it, my crown jewel of my gun collection that I inherited from my dad which is a Colt 1903 made in 1906, which got me into reloading since it uses obsolete ammo (38 auto).

Bought this at the beginning of the summer. 1990 Mustang GT convertible.

Man those Mustangs were everywhere when that version came out. Nice grab!

If it isn't the literal competition for the garage, it's the small part takeover on the benches.
Only place I can find 257 bayonet flashers now for the Space Zap marquee was Vintage Auto.
(yeah I just cleared my garage of pins too so I could park two vehicles there again... priorities)
Similar collection nuttiness and the same passions for historic preservation and resto.
Damned if I'm always working with metal/print/glass trades that do similar tasks, glad to help and say cool (I used to play Centipede do you have one)?!
All for the drive and the play!
Fix fix polish polish vroom vroom!

That's pretty nice for a Ford!
Beautiful! I want to wide whites on my 39 Chevy if I could ever get it back together.
My dad had a 39 Chevy. I think it might've been his first car. I have a photo of him and a couple buddies in front of it. He was a Chevy guy.
Thanks, it's a blast too. Like driving a V8 go cart.
But it's a Ford with a Chevy motor. Everyone comments how much they like the wheels and tires.That's pretty nice for a Ford!

Lets see it! I am the 2nd owner of this one, my grandfather bought it new and here is a pic my mom found a while back after he got back from the war with my grandma talking it camping. He willed it to me when I was 15 and got it when he passed in 1998. I started restoring it but my dad got sick about that time so it has been sitting since, tore apart and I keep getting other projects.
Current condition
The final goal
