Just ordered my set lol. How can I know what to buy it for if I dont know what it is?

My wish list keeps getting longer...

I know the Revell 1969 Shelby GT-500 Mustang 2n1 kit comes with these wheels. I believe theyre roughly 17-20"

Do want. Ive been wondering why there was no "universal" tubbed rear end. One I could buy without having to buy an entire new kit.

Thanks for the replys everyone! I see what's being said about the label thing. I also like the idea of treating every part and assembly as though that itself is a model. I like trying something new in preparation for the next model, but trying taking my time combined with trying something new for each part would definitely yield more improvements! I can more accurately describe the direction I want to go in as "more detail." From my 1:1 hobbies Ive learned I can pretty much do anything as long as Im willing to slow down and take my time until it's right, instead of just filling a time requirement. We have a Micheals, but I havent seen any chain stores, which is why I asked about preferred online vendors. I found a better LHS, and grabbed a few items. BMF, new blades, some sheet styrene (I do want to replicate a IMSA Fiero in time) and some Tenax7r glue, which I read here it was common on several benches. I also decided to add another model to queue, Lindberg's Little Red Wagon. Something different, and a Mopar so it had to be added:)

I’ve been building models since I was around 12 (1998), mostly out of box, stock mopars, nothing special. Compared to most of the builds I see here, my shelf looks like garbage. I’d like to give my models more details, but my 4 LHS all focus on trains, planes, and R/C cars. None of them really offer anything besides paint and glue. What are some of the more popular online outlets? Something that carries tools, supplies, customization items, and kits, too. I know I can use google and come up with countless sites, but what do the pros at MCM use? I’d also like to venture into pro street versions of cars, since that’s the next logical step from stock builds – buy a stock car, mod it until it’s barely street legal. I can see point A - a Revell Roadrunner or Viper even, and point B - the awesome finished products displayed here, but I not seeing too much in between. Are all the frames scratch built or resin? Is it possible and within reason to turn any car into a drag car? Also for some reason I feel like the standard curbside kits and other model stuff available at the LHS are more geared toward me when I first started. Paint, glue, done. Would I be correct in assuming this? What are some of the more quality brands? All fairly vague questions, I know. Im just looking into making the transition from boring same old, same old kits to something different and eye catching. Any help is appreciated.
