charlzrocks Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 (edited) About 5 years ago I had a heart attack. While in the hospital, a buddy of mine gave me a vw New Beetle to build while recuperating. Then, after 4 1/2 years I decided to build the thing. Man I got the bug for sure! Went on the bay and bought up some Ed Roth kits (I always loved the bubble tops) and a few wheelstanders and I am hooked again! I was soo into this as a kid, remember building some of the kits that I bought again and am having a blast! There is soo much useful info on this forum and you all seem to have great tallent for building cars. I am humbled. Here are a few.

Sixties Sam Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Welcome, Charlzrocks, from another old guy that just got back into model cars. Your builds look great! My memory fails me - what's the blue car with the cool trailer? Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlzrocks Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 Welcome, Charlzrocks, from another old guy that just got back into model cars. Your builds look great! My memory fails me - what's the blue car with the cool trailer? Sam Thanks Sam! The one with the trailer....that would be The Silhouette ..... I decided to build it and the Beatnik Bandit because they were the very first Hot Wheels cars that I got for Christmas as a kid when the Hot Wheels line was introduced. Currently in the works is Ed Roth's Road Agent....... Glad to be among friends Sam! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
