I'm sure we all have other hobbies outside of building cars. I think it would be cool to see what everyone else does with there time when they are not working on there awesome mopars. I have always been into building stuff so lately i have been building/refurbishing furniture. here are a few of my most recent projects.

the lamp i built from scrap sprockets. even wired it myself. ha ha ha

Had a radio control nito boat last year, I still have it but yet to get it back running, needs some pop work repairs. It was fun but kept breaking down...I was running it in a 40 foot swimming pool and once it goes fast the waves get big and knock the heck out of it...was also a homemade boat that could had been built better, IMO.

I go bicycle riding to keep in shape, so much more enjoyable then jogging, IMO
 
well, I'm a diecast car collector, I enjoy riding 4 wheelers, I have N scale trains, and slot cars, although I have not messed with them in quite some time...I guess thats about it.
 
Guns -Big effin Guns -keep your little cap {hand} guns, looking at a Savage 10/110 BA in either the 338 Lapau or Win 300 mag , the Rem 700 just isn't doing it for me anymore lol

Does chasing your wife around the house counts as a hobby? :dontknow:
 
Electric guitar player/ collector. I'm a big Gibson Sg guy, but I have some serious needs for another Prs Se guitar!

Lol. It sure does. After 22 years, I still put in at least a mile a day.:glasses7: Oh and for My other Hobbies> I play my Bass guitar every day for at least 1 hour. 30 + years as a Bass player. Built a 6' Tall Linen Cupboard yesterday. I also build Bass guitars and sell them on Ebay. Here's my latest. http://www.ebay.com/itm/251095446047?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

I like a nice guitar or 6 myself too Rockerdude. My favorite at this time is a 68 Les Paul. Was my brother's working guitar for 40+ years until he gave it too me last year. But like guns and cars, I just can't seem to get enough axes. :glasses7:

Get on that garden, Cliff!

Actually, those pics are only the veggie garden, the side bulb garden, and Sarah's little flower garden out back. When the roses are in full bloom again, I'll get pics up of those, especially the Chrysler Imperial.

Those pics don't include what the side garden looks like in the spring: daffodils and tulips; late spring with the iris's in bloom, and coming soon the glads. They also don't include Sarah's grapevines and rhubarb.

Here's the strawberries, though.

Two 55 gallon drums full of dirt with holes drilled in. As the strawberries shoot off runners I just drill more holes. Be another year or two and you won't even be able to see the barrels.
 
Fighting! Lol jk ive never been in a real fight in my life. but i am im in the process of learning brazilian jui jitsu, muay tai, and boxing. I think its a good thing to want to learn to fight for fun and excersise but not have the urge to fight for the hell of it if that makes sense? Also enjoy weight lifting, guns, building things, and making money ;)

I am a border line fanatic when it comes to veggie gardening ramenth. Pretty much exclusively grow the heirloom varieties. Was composting before it became "cool". The first thing I do when I get home from work (before even going in the house) is hit the gardens. It just calms me right down....my own sort of therapy.

We are having to get rid of some pesky bushes this year.
 
Guns, mainly revolvers, I've been playing the drums since I was 12 - I'm 44 now.
I have two vintage drum kits, a 1968/69 Rogers Red onyx kit that was a 4 piece but I added to it (once I started seeing Rogers Red Onyx drums on ebay in different sizes).
Also, I own a 4 piece '69 Ludwig blue sparkle kit that is my day to day kit I play.
