    Hey I'm sure all of you started by building some of the classic car models. I would love to build a Munster's Dragula for the street. What would all of you want to build? Beer truck.jpg taxi12.jpg

    As a guy who grew up building model cars at 13 my plans were to build a dragula car.

    Never got around to doing it, as I grew older the idea driving around in a coffin felt like it might be just asking for trouble !! ;)

    When I was younger and building models it was a lot of Nascar Winston Cup models of Petty ,Pearson, Marcis , Donahue, Yarborough, Allison etc. With '56 Ford trucks, '39 Ford 2 door Sedans souped up and big rig ramp trucks to haul boys to Daytona for speed weeks. Anything race car related. And I did get to build race cars for myself later but Dad did teach me all about building them from the ground up.

    Today I wouldn't be so fast to build one to human scale because often the proportions go awry to the adult eye. However, this would be cool to take my Taco around in.

    That's the one I always wanted to build. I built it as a model a few times. Purple crushed velour interior. LOL
