I'm from southern Iowa and have gotten back into model building after finding heart problems and gotten surgery to put in new pieces. With the added time on my hands I got back into building models. It's been fun relearning all the things I used to do, 15 years ago. I subscribed to this mag and the other one. I have other hobbies as well so I won't be blowing any threads up with any "great" builds, just here to learn as much as possible. I'm a basic builder mostly box stock but, I have cut a few molded in rear ends out. Other than that it's engines and wheels/tires changes. I have a bunch of parts already, I got on Craigslist and kept looking until I found a guy not too far away (lol, 2 hours one way there) that had a couple of boxes full of stuff from the 60's and 70's. It's been neat looking through everything to see what I got for parts. This is my relaxation now.
