Cars and Guitars

ShredHippie · September 6, 2014

Hey everyone,
It has been about 16 yrs since I built a model. In my teens, I was a member of a model of the month club and built a lot of planes and cars. My kids have gotten me back into this by buying me an AMT Ghostbusters Ecto-1a for Fathers day, which I have half-assed started. My ultimate build will be a 1976 Firebird Formula 400...my first car! I have already obtained a sealed MPC 1976 Firebird kit but before I even break the plastic I am going to build a few cars, get my skills back up and hopefully learn new ones from all of you.

A little about me... I live and work as an auto mechanic here in Illinois USA...been into cars my whole life...grew up on the Dukes, Knight Rider, Smokey and the Bandit, A-team, CHIPS, Rockford Files..all those awesome shows. Pontiacs from the 50s, 60s and 70s are my favorite cars...also love 70s Vans and El Caminos. ...and I like to play guitar at ludicrous speed.

I am looking forward to building again and thanks in advance for any help and advice!

These are unfortunately the only models I still have from the last time I was building in the mid 90s.
