Never to old to start building models again! Every time I open a model, I recall the excitement and energy I used to have when I was 10-18 years old...then I started getting competitive and it has become a challenge just to build SOMETHING without habitually modifying something on it.

evrette56 - first welcome back to the joys of model building - second if you are looking for parts and have access to the internet - try eBay toys/hobbies and go to the automotive "parts" tab - there are roughly 2000 -5000 parts for sale every week and I'm sure you'll find something you're looking for at a reasonable price. Hope to see some of you builds soon - John
