I've got plenty of models - most of them in fact, that have inaccuracies, large and small, that I happily live with.

But for some reason I could not leave this car alone

I decided that I waned one with wire wheels, like some of the earliest Ford GT's so I changed the car to this

But what i really wanted was a race car so I changed the car to this

I put it up on the shelf and was happy with it for a few weeks but two things kept gnawing at me. The first was that i felt the #14's I put on the doors were a bit too small and the second was that the actual Ford of France car that this is modeled after did not have fender mounted racing mirrors.

Now I'm finding that I don't like the way the labels look on the Ford GT's I have in individual display boxes so I'm in the process of redoing those.

It scares me to think how many time wasting projects I'm going to come up with when I retire
