Last weekend I happened to be in Philadelphia, so I had the opportunity to attend Radwood!  It's an 80s/90s theme car show, which was awesome.  Here are some of my favorites:

MK2 Rallye Golf!

Ferrari <3

Lots of period-correct gems came out to attend!

Clean E36 M3.  These are my favorite cars from the era, although I prefer the 4 door Sedan model.

ATTN: BILLY

And of course you can't hold an 80s/90s car show without several DeLoreans


Some vintage Audi, Lotus

ATTN: NEEL

Lancia!

This van looked mean.

Oh look, a junky old BMW 5-series...

...with an enormous turbo LSx!!

Acura NSX might be my next project once the Jetta is done.



leaky Alfa Romeo GTV6, Joe Elliot spec.

'Murica

Very clean big body BMW on air

Seats were rad on this one!



TURBO MINIVAN!

Split Ronal Bears!!!!!!  The owner brought a jack so he could clock the wheels properly and all 4 bears were upright.  I like the detail and dedication.

MK3 Harlequin!

ATTN: JIMMY

This wasn't in the show, and isn't exactly period correct, but I spotted it in the parking lot.


New tool! Just one, but an important one.  There were 3 different versions of this hammer produced - two Snap-on branded and one Blue Point branded. I had two of the versions, and just found the 3rd and most rare version on eBay!


1963 date code

Hammer drawer is filling up!

I also whipped up this backsplash for my lathe.  I made it from a scrap shelf I pulled from the dumpster at work and some rusty angle iron from my grandpap's basement!


I added a $2 rubber isolation mount to reduce rattling noises since the machine vibrates quite a bit.


Done!
