I had some failed attempts, trying to pick up, where I left off. Then I built one, straight out of the box. Rattle can paint job, no extra details, other than paint, no plug wires, fuel lines, etc. Then I worked my way up. It's been 6 years, since then, I'm air brushing pearl jobs, scratch building parts, plumbing this, wiring that. Taking those first "baby steps", was the best thing, I did, to get back into this wonderful hobby.
