67 Power Wagon said
Rani,
No kiddin! I would have not guessed you to be a model builder and i got to say, nice work!

The wagon is definitely different....Not in a bad way but different!

I got to ask ya now, what sort of "junk" pile you have for parts? I ask as there are some, I'm looking for, to build a couple family members cars, I remember growing up, and some I just can't seem to find!

yes yes ....same reaction for everything i do LOL ....nobody ever guesses i am interested in the things that i am into. Such as HO model trains ........when i was younger i started buying bachmann and tyco train stuff in HO scale but it got too expensive.

Sadly i sold all my model railroad stuff but it wasnt all bad because the money i got from its sale is now a 4 speed in my dart :cheers:

But i still like to go rail watching. I go to a an old depot in a near by town when i am sad to watch the trains. I prefer either first generation diesel or the modern stuff....Like the AC locos of today....i dont really care for grandpa steam locos.

When i had my old train stuff i ran a fictitious road named the "NEW ROCK ISLAND" mainly because my favorite road name is the "Rock Island" ....what a magical road and i loved their paint schemes. :smile:

i have tons of books about rail stuff.....i love it

So now i am getting into slot cars because its cheaper and easier to maintain than the rail stuff. I dont have much room to set up stuff like that because i still live with my adoptive parents....so a bedroom is not enough room for a full on rail empire.

As far as models .....i dont have much in the way of spare parts......i went to a garage sale one time and found a 68 roadrunner and 70 duster kit (i only buy mopar)that i use for parts and also i have 69 GTX parts. I had a 69 GTX kit and i messed up the body because i painted it in winter with the slow hardner so it was taking forever to set up and i got impatient ....so i had the bright idea to put the body in my easy bake oven to make it to dry fast and it didnt work out so good because i messed it up :banghead:
