Back to the hobby after 35 year absence

[jmk0303]

Hello guys and gals. My first time posting here on the site. Last fall, I started selling a bunch of kits I had in boxes since the ‘80’s. Then I realized “why am I selling these when I could be building them again.”

So I returned to a kit I started all those years ago but never finished - AMT Prestige 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 XL. I dove in with both feet with black paint color, cutting out the doors and trunk, and a lot of other mods to try for stock accuracy. Certainly not perfect but not bad for being rusty at building. 
 

Love all the posts and shares here. Glad the hobby is still going strong!

Kind regards, Joe

You didn’t just dive in with both feet, you dove in head first! Great looking build. Look forward to seeing more of your work.
