What gets you going?

I like that, 'Cars with a purpose'.

Function, then form attracts me. A very nice blend of both is automotive heaven to me.

Agreed and perfectly said. Here's my 1:1 expression of those traits:

I also share Skip's love of classics-cars with 'presence'.

I started modelling when i was 13 with an AMT Ford Phantom Vicky. Dad and I built it unpainted and unfortunately I lost it. it wasn't until this year, some 11 years later that I've gotten back into modelling. I've learnt so much from here that it's amazing.

As far as cars I like, I'd have to say my favourite builds are rat rods, because I've leanr which kits have seperate chassis' and I chop and channel the body and have the freedom to add as much detail as i like. I also LOVE American muscle cars, especially mustangs and Dodges. I like almost all types of car, be they stock or new but I'm trying to expand my reach of what i can build.

believe it or not I'm building a 65 Cadillac donk in lime green, this is to test my patience and see how it turns out. I kinda like donks, don't know why but i figured if i built one well it might look good.

I once felt guilty taking my young son to all the cars shows I went to ,so one day I ask him if he really liked to go to the shows and which cars did he like? Pondering a moment, he looked up and told me " Dad, I like the ones with the fire on the side."B)0906sr_10_z+1931_ford_model_a_coupe+right.jpg

I like Chevys, Fords, and Plymouths from the 30's through the 60's. Corvettes really turn me on. Gary B.
