Thanks Tom! To be honest though, I never did models as kid. I did some modeling in my mid-20's (I'm 45 now), collected several kits but only finished two. This car is only the third one I've ever finished and the second one I've wired the engine on!
A little background on me...... I've been a fan of real cars since I was about 12-13. My first car was a '66 Nova 2 door hardtop that I rebuilt the engine myself on and drove in high school. I used to draw cars alot and was pretty good at it. I got into r/c off road racing when I was 21 and got real good at it, good enough to pick up sponsorships to help with my addiction, LOL. I've built real custom cars for years doing all the welding, fabrication and paint work. I just seem to have the ability to pick up on something that I interests me. Modeling interests me because I can build cars that I may otherwise never get to own. Its fun to apply my real world ideas and skills to the plastic fantastic. Having a blast and am honored to hear all the compliments of my work, especially coming from guys on here that have some serious skill! Thank you all!
