Racerchad2 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Hello, My name is Chad. I have been a avid model car builder for a long time but i have always been building my models just stock & not modifying them. Now the time has come to modify. I'm a mechanic and drag racer and model cars is my hobby. I have used the forums for lot of research and instructions and now i'm ready to build some drag car versions w/ your guys help. Btw all my models are fords & mustangs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iBorg Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I grew up near Lexington.....Are there any good model shops there? Last time I looked there was Hobby Lobby and Hobbytown. I miss the days of X-cel. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad: There's still some good places up in the Florence area if you're willing to take a little drive some day when you have time. Florence has a fairly well-stocked Hobby Lobby, and there's a couple of Local Hobby Shops still in that vicinity, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
