When I was still working in healthcare, I was on 3rd shift. Got a call to Peds to fix a faulty Croup Tent. As I was doing my documentation, I noticed the bevy of model cars on the nursing station counter. I asked the night nurse who they belonged to... she said one of the kids. That morning before I left, I stopped in and talked the the little guy...he must be 40 by now! Came in that night with a kit or two for him. He wouldn't go to sleep until he saw me!

That being said...the nurse asked if I was interested in model cars. She said her son left a whole box of stuff after he moved out and would I be interested in it? I went over and briefly glanced at the box, it was huge. Asked what she wanted and she said $50. Handed her my money and took the box home. A few weeks later, I went thru the box.... OMG! Unbuilt Grumpy's Camaro...and a host of other rare kits that I'd been looking for. 

One box was a Camaro, but had written on it..."Pro Stock Vette". Guys that have been in my basement have told me it needed to be built! Years later, I find out that this model was started by a guy in our model club....I did offer it back to him, but he told me to finish it. As you can see, he did the hard parts!

There ya go--finish it up! And if you have all the stock '63 parts (chassis, engine, etc), you can use them to drag that resin '67 roadster across the finish line. Win-Win!
