Since the economy has ground my business into hamburger, I have had lots of time to work on all my projects. A lot of these are directly related to the 80's and I am so pleased to have a place where I think they can be appreciated. We are going to move off the boat (wanna guess why?) and go back to the condo so I will have my "big" computer and my cable modem back. It may take me awhile to figure out how to post pics, but I was so motivated to show you guys this stuff that I went out and bought a digital camera. Each one will come with some info on it and the research to make sure it is 80's vintage. Here is a teaser list of my completed projects.


A very cool 80's car that is 90% finished and was mint when I got it. I expect it was a lot of people's dream car in high school. It is red and very fast.

An 80's motocycle. Actually two, but one isn't going to ready for about another three months. I have #1 back to almost mint shape.

Five 80's guitars. In various states of restortation. I like rare and unusual guitars, so these reflect that.

I have the ultimate 80's boombox, you can tell it is 80's vintage because it is huge and weigh about 200lbs. I have confirmed it .
was made in 85, you will have to see this to believe it. It was at a friends house and I paid a ton for it because it was exactly
what I remember them looking like.

I have also found a cache of wine I had in the 80's and forgot about. From 1981 to 1988. For a brief period I branded my own wine (went over like a lead balloon) so I have a few with my brand name on them.


I can't wait to show you guys this stuff. Thanks for having a place where people would be interested in it.

Yes, definately post some pics of these projects and 80's stuff. I have recently started collecting 80's memorabilia myself, but it is mainly small things and music related items.
