I learned to forget the haters and just build what I want, when I want, the way I want it.
Several of my recent builds were completely poopooed by a local club, yet a few placed in their classes yesterday in Phoenix.
Interestingly, I didn't build any of them to be a winner in any show, I just built them to the best of my ability as they are all, in their own way, subjects near and dear to me.
Oh and BTW Doc, my TZH pickup, previously referred to as "useless garbage" placed third. Go figure.
