Hello everybody from Corpus Christi

[mustang1989]

My name is Joe and as the title says I'm from Corpus. Saw a thread on the internet and after reading the builders topic (Erik) on building a 1990 Mustang LX and seeing all of the friendly and helpful comments and conversation , thought I would join this forum. I build primarily 1/48 scale WWII aircraft but manage to slip a car build in here and there. I have been tinkering with a repair/ restoration of a 70 Dodge Challenger that I built when I was 14 years old which has been 31 years ago. I gave it to my brother (who I originally built the car for) about 5 years ago and he shelved it in the closet where my nephew accidentally knocked it off the shelf and you can guess what happened from there. I've got it pieced mostly back together and bought another kit to help in replacing some of the parts that could not be found in the "crash".

I have been building plastic models since I was about 11 or 12 years old and have been on and off with it over the past 12 years. Ever since last January the bug hit me really hard and I started building again on a continuous basis. I am currently a member of the FineScale Model forum where I currently host a Fw190 Butcher Bird Group build so I am no stranger to forums. I look forward to interacting with everybody here on a subject that I feel I need to learn a lot about concerning automotive model building.

WELCOME to the plastic madness Joseph, glad you joined up, you'll have to post some pics of the restoration when you get it put back together!!

Thanks for the warm welcome folks! I'll have a few pictures up and running as to where it stands right now. I'm not going to be modifiying this one any. Just restoring it back to the way it was. I'll be doing more with the upcoming Mustang LX build.
