Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
I was surprised to find out how many people owned their own pinball machines. I've really been pleased to see company enjoying them when they stop over but right now the biggest attraction seems to be that movie theater. Once I figured out how to get the 3D shows synced with the right type of glasses, it's really blown people away. - WAY, WAY better than what I'd seen at a movie theater years ago. You have a hard time keeping yourself from ducking when stuff seems to be coming right at you.
A few other items I'd put down the basement were a soda vending machine and a popcorn machine. Then I added a small chest freezer for ice.

The vending machine was pretty dingy when I bought it. After cleaning it up I managed to fix the coin changer and printed some new labels to match the pop we wanted to dispense. I hoped the little Rat Fink images would tie it in with the whole car theme I was shooting for.

It's a bit crude but I made a light up sign for the theater and hung curtains to divide it from the rest of the basement.

I still need to move the Christmas tree and a bunch more race banners down here and out of the garage. The miniature drag strip isn't finished yet either. Today I'm going to try to clean up some of the junk that's been accumulating. I'd hate to see the basement looking as cluttered as the shop.

The 2 pinball machines are hardly enough to make the basement an arcade but they're still good entertainment. What I really want to do is set up a driving simulator.
