Pre-build methods ? Something gives me an Idea ( MCMs new trailer contest) I daydream about it , going back and forth to work in the car ( which trailer? which dragster? could the sedan delivery pull the trailer? will the engine from car fit in the dragster?)
I spend about a week, studying this in my head..
Then I go to my stash, see what kits I have of the ones I picked out.
Spend next three months searching swapmeets for missing kits.
Open the boxes, lay the parts out, stare at them for 2 weeks.
Assemble the engines and chassis, prep the bodies
Then it sits on the bench another three months while I agonize over colors.
In the end.. build time to make the contest runs out, all the parts go in a plastic shoebox to be finished at a later date..
