This is beautiful. A restoration on a model is so much harder than building a kit. I’m very impressed with everything on this build. I’m watching and learning. Super job.

Claude your paint jobs are what I try to copy. I look up to your builds and standards of models. Actually I’m a new guy compared to most here in the forum. Still learning. I wish I had the imagination of your builds and to me your the chip foose of models. One day I would like to make my own car design and model it. But I still have a lot to learn so it will not be anytime soon. Great job and I will be looking for the next CT design.

I model mostly model factory hiro kits and there is no box art. So it really means nothing to me. But when I was a kid, the IMC kits looked really cool. Even if I could not come close to building one at that time, but as a kid, it was beautiful.

Yes

I started modeling when I was young . Mom was cooking and I loved cars so I loved modeling. My mom passed when I was very young. So I had to grow up fast. No more modeling, had to fill in as much as possible for my pop. So no time to model, 12 years ago I had a stroke. Took 6 months for rehabilitation. For fine motor skills I asked my Dr. if building models counted. He said yes and I had to show him the finished model to pass /sign off on my fine motor skills. So this is how I started to model as an adult. I really liked modeling and have not stopped. I have met the coolest people in modeling and will not stop modeling. It’s just super fun, and it reminds me when my mom was alive. I put on old tunes and just model. Relaxes me and it’s the perfect stress relief.

Ace at guy is right, buy what you like. Cool cars will always be cool. New or old. It’s what your budget will handle. If you buy what you like , enjoy driving the heck out of it and if you profit from it when you get tired of it consider yourself lucky. I always bought what I like, and I was very lucky when selling. I bought my first car during the gas crunch, a 1970 boss 302 which went for cheap because of the gas crisis. $2300. Sold it years later for $4800. Got lucky. But I enjoyed the heck out of her. My next car was a 1966 GT 350 Shelby, bought it for $800 . It was crashed in the front but I fixed it, kept it for 36 years and sold her for over $100,000. This is when I learned about capital gains tax, so I have been very lucky, but it’s just luck, I bought what I liked and did not care if I made a profit or not. Same goes for my SUV’s bought them at a high price and they are worth nothing now. But they serve their purpose. Lesson is, buy what you like and don’t go for the investment garbage. If it turns out great , fantastic, if it doesn’t at least you enjoyed the drive.

Nice road runner.
