One of the first car models I ever built was the 1967 GTX. Uncharacteristically of me, I built it as the custom street version. Ever since I have wanted to get another one to build stock. I finally got my chance, as this model was on sale at Hobby Lobby. It's a little different than the one I previously got. I was sad that there were only black stripes, so I had no white stripes to go on my black car. It was also strange it had some of the custom parts, but not the decals or all the modification parts. I made the mistake of using the custom headers as I did not know that the stock were also in the kit, and thought the custom parts were the stock parts. The kit also put together a bit differently than I remember of the old kit. The hood fit isn't that great, but I guess it cam out looking alright. It's a pretty good kit.

Thanks, I've just been able to get some better kits, get the right paints, and have more time to build. I still have trouble making certain kits look good (cough, AMT, cough), but a lot of the new stuff coming out is great to build. A lot of my early stuff was from when I was just starting out in early college. I wanted to show them off too, so I took some photos of them as well. The 71 Cuda, Red 70 Challenger, and my other GTX were my first three that I ever built.
