building and shooting muzzle loaders, and fishing, hunting, and working on old cars and trucks

shooting and building muzzle loaders is something that my dad and I used to do together along with fishing before he past away. ii still build muzzle loaders, but not as much as I use to. as far as working on old trucks and cars. I prefer to work on the cars and trucks from the 50's through the early 70's. they have more style and character than a lot of these new cars and trucks.
