Hello! My 1st post. I began building models in the early 70s. I was a kid & it seemed that all boys built model cars in those days. Some also preferred to study demolition preferably with firecrackers. I would collect their leftover parts. My interest was & is in hotrodding musclecars. So, at an early age I began to modify my model kits to fit my vision. It was inocent enough at first. I would use different tires, wheels & engines. Then came modified body work. The plastic in those days was perfect for adding JBWeld & filing to the desired shape - except for Jo-Han. Jo-Han's plastic was too slick. Now everybody's plastic is too slick. What & why did that change?
I began making what for me would be the perfect 69 Dodge Daytona back in the early 80s. This might allude to the type of modification that interests me & has me frustrated with more modern plastics.
