My other hobby-MOPAR or No Car

[koidaddy]

Just wanted to show those interested one of my other hobbies. Muscle cars! Well my Dart is not really a muscle car(more like a pony car) due to its size.
This is my 1971 Dodge Dart Swinger. It started life as a 318 car but now sports a 340. I repainted it last year in my garage as well as rebuilt the engine.
I was green when I got it back in 2003. The person who painted it green did a crappy job and after about a year it started to show it bad side.(rust) It now wears a nice coat of Go-Mango.:fish:
I also have a 1969 Plymouth GTX that IS a muscle car with its 440 big block engine. That one still need to be redone.
Here is a link to my restoration thread.

Ok, You made me do it! You ask where the fishin4cars name came from, well here is are a few pics of the NASCAR room, possibly 3000 of the over 15,000 that I have. I only have room for about 3000 to be displayed at one time. At present if you know scales I have over 1000 1/24th's, 12,000 1/64ths, and about 2000 various other sizes. As far as I am aware of I have every paint scheme that Dale Earnhardt Sr. and Kevin Harvick have driven that have been produced in diecast along with many many more drivers and autographs.

I was a huge Dale Sr. fan. I got to meet him exactly two weeks before that tragic weekend. I got his autograph and that's probably still one of my best collectibles to date. I have all the Dale Sr. Sundrops unopened along with all the coke series too unopened. Another really cool piece I have is a car that has a piece of his uniform with it. The really cool part is it's the "s" from Goodwrench Plus on the back of his uniform.
