    The answer I came up with is that we all become conditioned to think alike, by reading the same magazines... building the same models... watching the same car movies... idolizing the same "hero cars"... and eventually tend to think "inside the box". Kids are fresh to the hobby, and tend to be more original!

    This was all a culture shock, for me! {:-o

    40 years ago------

    I found that to come up with something different was the most difficult thing to do, but to have to conform to a paint scheme that we had been identified with and even after a few companies that wanted to sponser us had hired some firms to do some drawings---they all pretty much returned the drawings they made with our old paint scheme on them---soooooo, blue it was---

    These days I pretty much just look at building things so no matter what part of the car you are looking at, there is SOMETHING to see

    That would be Project X.. It's still alive and well and recently had yet another rebuild... Don't think it was ever a straight axle car, though. It's very nicely done now!!!
