VW93 Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) I've been registered here for quite awhile and finally getiting around to doing an intro. Basics; 60 years old, started building around 1963 tapered off early 70's, never was an exceptional builder. Built a few models early 80's,again nothing exceptional. Then life, jobs,and moves put a hold on building. Got involved with slot racing mid 80's to present on & off. Mainly ran Parma FCR with model bodies as either Bombers, Late Models or Cup cars. Finished an AMT '40 Ford coupe last week that I probably started about 15 years ago. I'm working on an AMT 40 Ford sedan now, after that most likely an AMT '32 Ford coupe. I figured it would be easier to build what I did as a youngster to get some experience again. I don't have any pics of the finished '40 yet, need to try some outdoor shots as the pics I took inside didn't appeal to me. I'm in awe of the work that is shown here, my goal now is to get some decent paint laid down & put them together as cleanly as possible. I've spent considerable time reading over the tips & question forums, picked up a lot of valuble info from them. My avatar and screen name come fom my days racing "stock" VW's at Freeport Stadium on Long Island back in 1973. Edited March 23, 2014 by VW93
BirdWatcher Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Cool! Welcome Looker, I'm sure with a background like that, you'll be putting out some solid builds in no time. Enjoy!
High octane Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Welcome Frank, as this is a great place to be.
VW93 Posted March 23, 2014 Author Posted March 23, 2014 Thanks for the welcomes. Going to try some outdoor shots of the '40 coupe today.
