I'm kinda an old Volvo nut. I like anything old really, I'm also a keen photographer, I have a large collection of vintage cameras.

From my rough calcs a 2x4 weighs about 1.21lbs/ft times 8 ft is about 9.7lbs times 225 boards gets me 2183lbs. Didn't even sit down on the helper springs yet.
 
My hobbies, 1952 Farmall Super C by International Harvester and 1965 Malibu SS convertible by Chevrolet. The Farmall I am not completely restoring, just freshening and modernizing (12v conversion, three point, wide front end if I can find one for less than I paid for the stinking tractor, maybe dual rear wheels) so I can work it. The Malibu is an original Van Nuys car that I am the fourth owner of, the person I bought it from had owned it since 1975. It is a real 138, factory 283/power glide car, Forrest Green Metallic with a White convertible top and White and Green interior. It is getting a total, frame off, every single nut and bolt restoration. Staying mostly original but swapping out the power glide for a Corvette spec 700R4, installing a 1965 Impala SS center console with a tach, 1967 Oldsmobile Toronado dual snorkel air cleaner, 2.5" duals, front discs with power assist, 327 4 barrel intake in place of the 2 barrel, 450 (factory CFM rating for 283 Hi Po) Holley economaster, rams horns manifolds in place of the regular logs, swapping in 3.73 gears and a posi, basically building the car the way I would of ordered it but saving all of the original parts in case I ever want to go back 100% stock. It will be driven a-lot and I want it to cruse down the highway safely and comfortably.
 
God bless the 2nd amendment.
