How do you decide?

We all have that moment .You open that new model car box and get a whiff of virgin plastic . Ahhh , that,s a great smell isn,t it ?  Now , how do you decide what that new jewel is going to be . This question is aimed at those who just like building anything with wheels . Do you think about that neat MALIBU down the block ? or do you search magazines  for the inspiration and ideas of style ? What I do is this . I open that box , inhale those odors and let my mind drift back through the years . Remember I am probably a lot older than a lot of you ,  so there are a lot of cars these tired old eyes have seen . Like ,how about The KAISER - FRASIER . Never heard of it ? well there is a lot of those in my grey cells . How about a CROSLEY or an IMP? SEE ! I would like to make a suggestion . When you start to take the parts out of that box , then just build what you are sure you can do . Don,t stretch or push the envelope unless you WANT to . Never mind contests or displaying it . Build to suit your tastes . When you do that you will find the satisfaction in a job well done , the way you wanted it done . You will put more into those builds as years and experience  build up . Give it time and whatever you do , remember, This is a hobby , enjoy it !  good luck and hope to meet you at the LHS.    OLDcarguy
