retirement for me has been strange...in 2014 I suffered a stroke at the age of 52 losing the use of my left hand(of course im lefthanded) and was able to walk short distances with a cane. before this I completed 3-5 models per year-usually a wild custom with lots of detail and scratchbuilding. about 10-15 hrs a week. since then I have built exactly one-not much added detail but did involve converting a vw beetle into a pick up-95 % of the work done with one hand. next, 3 months of therapy-could walk without cane but could barely use my left hand. im a stubborn sob so in spring of 2015 with help from my son and a friend I built a 25 x 25 shop, landscaped the yard, built a deck around a tree in the back, planted trees, extended and graveled driveway, built a 6' x 8' entertainment unit-can hold about 75 builts, bought a 40 chevy truck rat rod to piddle with, bought a welder and forced my lefthand to work and lost the cane. I hike a lot now-love being in the woods and fish a lot but im not building any models. im about 2/3 done with a 6 axle stretched can do wrecker but have not touched it for 2 years. ive acquired several holy grail kits-2 of which are about 1/2 done. I don't know why but im just not motivated to build much which is weird because now I have time. between my lady friend and myself there are 9 grandkids n one otw. my first grandson is 2 months old-im hoping that I live long enough to interest him in models but have began selling some of the stash as no family member builds models. I have many project ideas floating around in my head but am doing nothing-if any of yall have a tip on how I can motivate myself-let me know, please.

thank you

ding! ding! I knew I had seen it somewhere...thanks

it has been many, many years but iirc I saw the kit at Wal-Mart but my memory isn't reliable so who knows? probably me remembering wrong but what I remember was like kinda the first pic but without the hood and multiple engines.

no...this one was a body similar to a 32 ford Vicky iirrc...multiple motors

looking for info on a pulling truck/tractor model-not the meisterbrau-if memory serves me correctly the body was some kind of 30's and was sponsored by Lowenbrau or some other beer...white body-red/gold decals. any info appreciated.

don't forget : fix or repair daily and f'd on race day

can anyone id these wheels?

looking for suggestions on where to section 54 Hudson...

ok, but there are no Ollies ANYWHERE near me. google Clarkton mo and you will see that im not near anything...lol

I agree with all of the above posts. if I were doing this, first I would google outline drawing of c7 vet and also side and top views if possible of 1 to 1 and model-then play around in a drawing app and something like photoshop. as I don't have photoshop I use office. I might even print out some of the outline drawings and cut them to see some of what has to be done. during the process I would spend significant time just looking at the model body I have and THINKING. good luck and post in progress pics if you tackle it.

white car on box...just got rid of it

man, I really like this...did you consider dropping her in da weeds? those 59 caddy wheels are a great fit.

aagh, the good ole days. I had a black/gold 83 ta with the crossfire engine, w? suspension pkg, and 6 way adj drivers seat, not fast but the girls liked the sorta "bandit" car then a 86 z-28 with 305 carbed engine-it was a real turd-I removed all the smog BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH, put on a holley carb, true duals-no cat-still a turd so in went a 350. in 87 when gm offered 3rd gen Camaros as convertibles I had to have one but couldn't afford it so out came the sawsall and with a junkyard convertible frame made my own. ended up having to sell it to get an engine for wife's car, but then later got a steal of a deal on a black 92 25th anniversary heritage edition z convertible with a 350 tpi-that car RIPPED as many young lads in their mustangs found out. lost the car as part of a messy divorce(wifey's and cars) so fast forward to 2015-finally had the means to go find another 92 like I had-NONE were for sale in us-did find a ta similiarly equipped but it was metallic orange so I passed-still looking for a z...

this could go in the tips section but im putting it here...I tape a 2" or so piece of straight sprue to my blade handles to stop rolling. also as ive gotten older and have limited use of left hand I wrap the tape 3 or 4 times creating a bigger/softer gripping area.

that's probably the only petty kit im not looking for

are any of them petty cars?

would you be interested in trading the 58 bird?

for me its the 92 cougar kit
