Welcome to the community, Durhl!. There are still a TON of car kits from the 80s being repopped, but instead of being less than $5.00 each, they're now over $30.00 per copy... HOWEVER, thanks to companies like Atlantis and Moebius, some of our Holy Grails from the 60s and 70s are being cleaned up and re-released.

1882 Columbus sailed the ocean blue, oh wait, that was a different year!...

Welcome to the community, Chris! It is REALLY good to see young people like you interested in our hobby...

Welcome to the community, Darrell! Part of my learning-to-drive experience was in my Dad's '64 Falcon Station Wagon, which my brother and I hot rodded for him when we were in High School. I still have a HUGE soft spot in my heart for all the '64 (and '65, although I like the '64 grill a LOT better!) Falcon Models, especially the Courier Sedan Delivery (VERY RARE!), Sprints and Sprint Convertibles.

Welcome to the community, Marcus! For glue, the Testors 3501X (Orange Tube) is still a great glue for non-detail work, but takes quite a while to bond and cure. I am having really good experiences with Plastruct Bondene and Tamiya Extra Thin, which bond almost immediately and dry quickly. Can't wait to see your work!...

Welcome to the community, Dan. Can't wait to see more of your work...

Welcome to the community, Priscilla. There are some very knowledgeable and highly skilled automotive technicians on this forum, so if you have any questions, ask away!...

Welcome to the community, Nathan!

Welcome to the community, Vince. Can't wait to see your builds...

People who post "informational" or "educational" on-line videos who know VERY little about the subject they're attempting to demonstrate. For example, I watched a video this morning of a model car kit unboxing where the host identified a vintage Chevy Rochester Fuel Injection unit as a "turbocharger" and the headlight buckets as "Baby Moon Hubcaps". I have also seen WAY TOO MANY automotive "how to" videos presented by self proclaimed "mechanics" that, in all actuality, don't possess the skills to properly air up a bicycle tire. Maybe the old adage "it is better to be thought of as a fool..." should be revised to "it is better to remain an unknown fool than to post ignorant, ill informed on-line videos and remove all doubt."

Well why not

editing your post because someone reacted with their submission just as you were about to hit the "send" key is fairly common on this thread, but comes with the large volume of member participation
