i used to have a collection of over 150 cars i built with local hobby store contest winners that were highly detailed with brake lines shifter linkages opening carb butterflies and linkages all fuel lines and plug wires battery cables, valve stems on wheels working dipsticks air shock lines and many many other details. i had some promo cars and 500 unopened kits i had collected from the time i was 6 yrs old till i was 42 yrs old. i lost all of them to becomeing a drug addict. not asking for sympathy, just warning everyone to the powers of addiction. loved seeing your collection. brought back many great memories. i lost all the cars but still have the memories thank the lord. and thank you for shareing yours.

Who remembers model motorsports in Bristol, Virginia Bristol, Tennessee. They had all the decals that guy custom made for the cars that you could not find. He also put out a set of trading cards with all the NASCAR models up to like 93 I used to love going in that place. After he lost his shop or wanted to move out, he went into a antique mall on the Virginia side of State Street and the old JC building JCPenney building. I worked at a NASCAR souvenir shop victory Lane. Exit 7 Bristol Virginia now when I was like 10 years old to 14 years old. It was awesome to love all the kids people will bring it, and people would sell Bruce to resell and love build them myself too really like the vintage ones he had up on the upper shelf.

Thanks for the tour. Amazing stuff! Look forward to seeing more of your videos.

The first thing I ever won was a model 18-wheeler kit, and that got me hooked into collecting them. I stopped 30 years ago, but I wanting/thinking about starting up again after running across your channel. Awesome collection, and they're beautifully done, very precise, down to every detail from what I can see. Maybe for some future episodes, you can show/share some tips/tricks that you've learned over the years with us common folks! The best part that I liked is that you've got to do this with your children and together you all have won trophies and the bond has to be a wonderful feeling. I wish you only the best!

You have a really awesome collection! So nice to meet you! I have diecast cars as well as models in my collection (Hot Wheels, Matchbox, etc.) The love for cars runs in my family: 1. My father was a mechanic at FedEx in Stamford CT from August 1997 until (I'm sorry to say) he passed away in April 2020 from pancreatic cancer (which he battled for 6 years). He was 61. 2. My mother, still around, actually STILL HAS her original Hot Wheels Beatnik Bandit (colored Hot Pink) and her Hot Wheels Hot Heap (colored Purple) from the original 1968 Sweet Sixteen series! Nice, you have Mongoose and Snake!!! That's impressive that the models you built as a kid survived over the years! You have really great skills in customization! Sweet, that looks like the Grave Digger that my older brother Stephen has had since he was a kid! Awesome workbench and trophies!! Overall, awesome collection here!!
