Do you have other hobbies, what are they ?
Post pics and vids please.

I don't know if he's a hobby lol, but we love our Umbrella Cockatoo bird "Rickey". He loves to unload the dishwasher. lol
He speaks many words, but these birds are mostly known for being very funny, and he is !

We had a female Eleanora Cockatoo we named "Shelby" for 11 wonderful years, but she died from a heart condition. She was on my left shoulder and my cheek when she looked at me one last time at the Vet Hospital. Tore up my heart for a long time. Then we adopted the Umbrella. Shelby has the yellow head feathers and she was my "Mechanic helper", handing me tools. lol
She also was caught kissing the snowman.

I built a 1966 Ford 427 Shelby Cobra back in 2000 and now I'm giving her a rebirth. I've built two different Ford FE engines, as their what all street Cobras had, but they've gotten very expensive to build, so this time it's a Ford 460 truck block. I've bored and stroked it to 527cu. roller cam, Kaase aluminum SR-71 heads, polished and his valve train, roller rockers, huge titanium valves. It also has new stacked injection run by a Holley Terminator brain.

Should produce around 750 HP/TQ. New balanced billet aluminum flywheel, dual disk clutch, steel bellhousing, new Tremec TKO transmission, driveshaft and Currie Ford 9" rearend.

The engine pics were my older 428FE engines with stacked injection too.
