I am curious to know when do you say you've gave ur build your all, call it done? How do you get past that lil voice in your head that says I should add one more thing, or this didn't turn out right? I am beginning to believe that even the expert builders commit errors on their builds. I think every model just about has something overlooked or error, what do u guys think? I guess that's what makes it yours, gives it uniqueness

Congrats, I love this build. Very simplistic, clean , nice wheel selection. I can see why this one is a winner, not overly done.

ATTENTION: Regarding Lost Topics and Posts
ERIK88 replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
It can be financially reasonable to repost posts on here if there were trades going on, from a few dollars worth to the extent of thousands. For example I was going. To trade , but lost contact and address ... -
Love edsels , I wonder why people say those cars are ugly. I never thought this car would look so nice besides stock !

Thanks guys, I'm thinking about chopping a amt 55 chevy stepside . I think the windshield is flat for the most part. I might just cut from the bottom as needed. and yea I can imagine how hard it would be ona 1:1 car! Lots of prep work -
Congratulations! Looks like a very happy family

"Holy Grail" Models?
ERIK88 replied to Billy Kingsley's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
A kit of e holy grail itself would be nice -
Build a model car man, help save lives!!! Models are expensive because we have allowed them to raise prices this high. Companies will charge what the market will bear. And that's all the old folks buying model kits with more disposable income than your typical kid. Idk maybe lower prices, once there is enough youth recognition, and sell more kits to make $$. It's all basic economics ! How can there be more youth with these prices though? And subjects ? Maybe build a new line of modern tuners, ricers , exotics. At a lower cost, less detailed (Revellogram) that is

Video games are evil, mind control technology that turns people into cold blooded killers. They should ban violent video games , stop given kids ideas or putting thoughts in their heads. If a child plays shooting games, killing games everyday non stop eventually that will be his/ her reality. Some are not able to differentiate actual reality and the consequences of such actions/ as of virtual gaming. Video games have a subconscious mind control effect man. Makes you delusional, lose your mind !!! There has not been so many shooters in public establishments since the digital era really kicked off in the 90s man! Why do you think there are so many army recruiting commercials ads on Xbox live ? They play shooting/ violent games why not recruit them? They already have the virtual reality training , they might not have fear emotion in real life, treat it as a video game..., hey but I guess that's what makes our military one of the strongest in the world among many other things
