FindMeAnGbodyCutlass Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Wow, aren't there any younger people building anymore? I am 32 and I am getting my my 9 and 10 year old boys into the hobby, and they love it. All they liked to play was video games. Gotta change that. I too am pretty new to this forum, but I love it. Lots of inspiration and ideas. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAFFA Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 (edited) well, for what all i know the old folks usually build the best models ey? I would considder myself a young builder, entering my 18:th year and my 11:th building year. Welcome to the forum, it REALLY is the best one out there, of all the ones ive seen, xcept for maybe the Lay it Low forums, but that is only if like lowriders... Speaking of that, what do you build?? got any nice 1:1's?? Edited January 7, 2008 by JAFFA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornpatch Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Hi Ripp Welcome to the forum. Over 50 and half blind doesn't make you all bad. Heck I am celebrateing the 41st anniversary of my 21st birthday this month. Also on Wednesday I go to the eye doctor to get my new coke bottle glasses. But I am another old guy that really enjoys putting models together, as there are a lot of us around. Anyway welcome Ripp, have fun Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaronw Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 1-1 full size as opposed to a 1-25, 1-32 etc model. He's asking if you have any interesting real cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripp Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 (edited) O K i see. I HAD a 67 Mustang FB years ago but i sold it to pay for my daughter,Dr's are so picky that way they want cash.My wife has a 64 Galaxie 500 XL,that needs lots of tlc & being a Ford man im willing to help her with that.I'd love to get another pony again some day B4 i croak.Maybe 2 or 3 that would be cool.Thanks for the headsup. As for what i build;i prefer 70s & older.Muscle cars & Hot rods and some customizing.I dont think the new cars have as much STYLE as the old ones.
