What the heck is this??
 

Hope I don't get in trouble because of the Title!!

I've been a member on this site for 6-8 months, I came across this sub-section yesterday and thought "what the hell is this"? I first thought it might be the kids building a model while their dad worked in the garage. Then I started looking at some of the post. There is stuff on here that I never knew existed! Model 18 wheelers that sell for $6,000? Then I went and looked it up and sure enough, $6k+ and some going for $8 to $10 K! Some of you have collections in the $$$$. I'm building the wrong kind of vehicle.

I've built a ton of models when I was a kid. All the old models we blew up as kids, or melted the fenders to look like they just came back from a derby. Just imagine if we'd left them in the box what they would be worth today?

Well I find myself tonight searching for a '63 C10 Step side model. The only one I've found so far, that is even in the same range, is the '65 by Revell. http://www.revell.com/catalog/products/85-7210.html

There is a lot of us who like these smaller versions of real cars so much to the point that we spend as much money and time in them as our real rides.;):lol::lol:

I use to build model cars too most of them i would use 3 or more and make one really nice one.But look around you can buy almost any part for a real car or truck for a model from steering wheels to big rims and real looking disc etc etc your wallet is the limit.
