T.V. and internet sometimes.But most of the time it's something i think of as i go along.What i absolutely love is having ideas-colors and start and as i'm going along things might change several times as i go along and when it's finished i go -WOW !!! i don't remember if i've ever taken notes-i'm old-lol.I retired 7-8 mos. ago and work on models every day. My interests'revolve around MOPARS-4 SPEEDS AND V-TWINS-pretty simple-LOL.I was in the auto parts business for about 46 years
