CrazyGirl Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 i have to say i only wanted to build a model of a stock car that my neighbor had when i was little , this car somehow became attached to me , i use to peak at it through the fence when ever he would work on it , and one day his wife saw me and said , you know you are more than welcome to come over and so i did and did so over the next 3 years until he moved away and when i went over and that was a lot i would do things like get tools and stuff like that and yep , get full of grease and i would go home and my mom would say , geeesh your a kook and she would get a huge kick out of it , anyway i joined this forum and what now amazes me is the level of what you guys are doing , it's totaly amazing and i am beyond impressed , you people are artists and an inspiration and you all should be very proud !!!

I am totally impressed every day and learning still. Keep plugging on that stock car, you've got a good start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disabled modeler Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 The passion for building is a on-going learning process that gets in your blood quickly...time and experience is the best teacher. There are many great people here with various talents or specialties to learn from...never be afraid to ask a question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skip Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Anne, Great story! My neighbor had a cute daughter and a A/A fuel dragster. The dragster drew me to his garage first, then I "discovered" girls and hardly spent as much time in the garage!! Went to a whole lot of races though and had a lot of fun with both.
