Born in 67. I have been around cars my whole life. My Pop was a hell of a mechanic. Worked on my first car (57 Chevy 150)when I was 5. (Mom still has the pic) Built my first model with my Pop. It was a Hubley Chevy roadster. My 1st car was a 68 Nova w/ a 327. (MAN I miss that car). I have been building models since I can remember. I used to cut my Grandmom's grass and then run to the hobby shop with the $$ she gave me to buy the next model. Even during my late teens and early 20's when I dicovered girls, real cars and started racing, I was still collecting models. I got seriously back into building after I got married. I joined DVSM (Del Vel Scale Modelers in Philadelphia)...oh I guess it's been about 15 years ago now. Since that time I have also joined...and still belong to 4 other models clubs. (PACM, MAMAs, JSMCC, and Silent Traffic) I build all sorts of models, but mainly cars. I think the best thing I have gotten out of this hobby has been the friends I have made and the experiences I have had.
