i would love to show everyone my beloved 1972 'Grumpy's Toy, Pro stock Vega, that my dad assembled for me years ago, but unfortunately, as a child, during one of my many 'Temper Tantrums' i placed the car in the waste basket, as a form of protest, with every intention of retrieving it, once things cooled down, however once dear old dad noticed the car in the trash, he took it out and promptly stomped it into a million pieces, so very Bad idea on my part

When diecast drag cars and muscle cars came out it unfortunately took away my motivation to finish my models, instant gratification, I didn't have to put in the work to get the car I wanted. As I get older, I would rather watch Dennis Taylor finish his hot rods, than go out to the garage to work on my project cars. When my grand kids get older , I will get out the unfinished models, and I'm going to resist being picky about how they paint or assemble them, it's a great way for kids to learn the parts that go into a car, before they help much with the real thing. When you glue and paint the engine components and other parts of a model, you learn a lot as a little kid and take ownership of the car build.
