Another one of the guys who have been away from modelling for a long time. Have not built a model since before I was married and and that's getting close to 50 years (married that is). In 1967 when I was 16 years I went to a drag race and saw a gorgeous black 1967 426 Hemi Plymouth GTX. It was love at first site and I vowed that I would some day own one just like it. The exact car is coming up at Mecum's auction this month with an estimated hammer price of $125,000.00 to $150,000.00. Although I might be able to afford it, the divorce would bankrupt me so I did the next best thing and bought the Revell model kit. I will have my dream car at last, just in a smaller version. Second on the list will be to try to duplicate my dear departed Honda CRX race car which will be a bit of a challenge but I will take my time and give it a shot. If I am successful with these builds, I will look into doing the Monte Carlo that Earl Ross won the Old Dominion 500 with at Martinsville in the early 80's and then doing a Junior Hanley stock car if I can find a correct body. Last in the plans would be a a tribute to a 1969 Hemi Road Runner nostalgia Super Stock that a friend of mine owns. If I get through these and am still on the right side of the sod, who knows what might be next.
