oldscool Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 Hello everyone, just want to introduce myself. I was born in 1958 so that makes me a 58 model. from what i have gathered, 58 models were abnormally prone to rust so that explains a few things. I built my first model when I was 5 yrs old. It was a 1/32 scale AMT 63 split window Vette with 2 piece plastic tires that i got for my birthday. Anyone remember these? I have never seen these 1/32 AMT kits since. By the time I was 6 or 7 i was very into cars due to my uncles large collection of car mags and old AMT and Johan annuals. Sadly none of his kits still exist but most of his old car mags are still in the shed out in the backyard. None of them dating later than 1964! Love to dig them out every now and then but boy do they stink. Anyway, I built cars until about 74 and then lost interest for the usual reasons. started back a few years ago and have been enjoying it every since. Stumbled on this forum a few days ago and thought I would like to join in the fun. Let the games begin!

Those were the first one's I started building.. did you come as a "3 in 1?" I was a '46, so I'm pretty crude and my body is in pieces. But, my Mom always said I was a Trophy Series!
