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.
Thank you for deciding to come to youtube and share your passion for your hobby. I love how organized and orderly everything is, including the storage. Great stuff!!!
Nice stuff, quality builds. I'm a big fan of 70s, Drag Racing and you've got that covered. my latest efforts are converting plastic models into 1/24th scale slot car drag cars pro mods, etc. . I'll have to post some up. Check my channel for Cox cars and other muscle car goodies. Thanks
Thanks for sharing your collection with us. Nobody had a cooler childhood than us boomers. Model kits, slot cars, etc. Building models cars was so satisfying as kid and even into my early adulthood. Love the early 70's Pro Stocks in your collection.
Simply amazing! Really impressive collection, you have tons of talent, enjoyed watching every minute of this video. You’re an inspiration and I wish you and your family the best in life! Cheers!
Welcome to the TH-cam modeling community. This is probably the best intro video I've seen. Thank you for sharing your AWESOME collection with us. I too am a BIG fan of race cars and it's VERY refreshing to see someone else that enjoys building model cars just to be building model cars. Don't sweat the Die Cast, I dig seeing guys that modify them too. I'm DEFINTLY looking forward to seeing future videos from you showcasing all your past builds. I see another AWESOME channel in the making here. Take care and happy modeling. Don😎😎👍👍
That's a great collection on display, and nice place you have there for building and storing. It's so cool that your kids got involved in the hobby with you. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Jimmy this is also coming up to my 45th year Of collecting i collect every brand of diecast i also never have anyone come to my home because I never sell anything your One cool dude your presentation certainly pays respect to preserve these extraordinary masterpieces thank you Jimmy for sharing your collection more please cheers Stephen 🤠⭐🦅🐎👍
To state you have a collection of both die-cast and plastic model cars is an understatement! You have an outstanding die-cast and plastic model car collection! Thanks for posting your excellent video showing your collection too!
Awesome collection. Price is definitely not what it was. Ole Johan wagon with trailer 👍👍 Can't beat them Petty cars well maybe the Sox and Martin Ooh only to have the room welcome looking forward to seeing you
Hey Sir. What a great first video. I met almost half of the guys cars you have put together. Starting with Ronnie Sox, I was in the Marine Corps when I met him in Jacksonville N.C. Then I met Cale Yarborough at his Honda dealership in South Carolina. Then I met Dale Jr in North Wilkesboro when they opened that speedway up. Earnie Irvin met him. But what a great model and diecast collection you have. Those are some of the nicest cars I have ever seen. I hope you keep the video's coming. Thanks again
Excellent video! Your model's and diecast are great. Really liked the Richard Childress driven #3 Chevelle diecast. Your display shelves are beautiful, well done. Thank you for sharing!
That is a very impressive collection and I Love the cases and how you have everything inventoried, very well organized and awesome also that you built that stuff, I wish I had carpenter skills to build display cases like that. Thanks for sharing your collection.
Awesome job on your video. Got to say I'm very impressed with all your cars. Model and diecast. But I'm more impressed with your MAN CAVE and how well your organized you are. Very smart keeping the original boxes too. Keep modeling. And congratulations on all your wins 🏆
Wow that's one sweet looking collection of N H R A car's love them all!!!! Great job on the build's Thanks for sharing them all remember a lot of them!! Please post more of your builds. Have a wonderful holiday season ✌️😎
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!
Welcome to the community! That is one hell of a collection! I look forward to more vids showing it. I agree on the old dirty ones to. Beautiful builds. Very impressive diecast as well. If you hadn't mentioned they were diecast you really couldn't tell. Great job on the video!
Hey Jimmy wow 😃👍🏽you have a really great collection of models, man I would love to just see it in person ,but this is the next best thing, Do you have the Mr. STP Funny car Mustang from the 70s? That’s the only one I have I built as a kid. Thanks for sharing Jimmy .
@@jamesringler2182 Hey thanks Jimmy,I appreciate your response,😀 you have many of the models I remember seeing in Morgan and Lindsey stores in the south, but didn’t have the money to by them,like Gene Snow’s ,Snowman funny car by Revelle,in the 70s.,I will look for your other videos.👍🏽 thanks.
Just Awesome! I'm more of a kit guy than a die cast guy but I was fortunate to have my "legends of racing" Ned Jarrett 65 Galaxie signed in 1995 at the Brickyard9(Ned set back in his lawn chair and looked at the car and said (Man, That sure is a good lookin' race car)I think he was feelin' it!. Great video and stuff ya got there!
Absolutely amazing builds, welcome to the Modeling community on youtube 1 of the best groups Tons of great guys, liking your work very nice😊 New Subscriber #40 and we hit the bell, hope to see more, all the best for Xmas and 2024 Cheers🍺🍻🍺🍻 KC Cradle Mountain Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺🇳🇿🤝🇺🇸👍
Great models and story. You have crazy skills. My father in law was a founding member and driver for the Ramchargers. Nice to see you have a model of one of his cars. Cheers.
Great collection, can't wait to see the next video. Your car's are awesome. I think it's great how your daughter and your son are both into it with you. You are a very talented family.
😮thats awesome Awesomly done, its amazing how detailed they are , i grew up watching my dad race modifides, from the 60s to 1979 , raced a little bit myself, and grew my son up racing , now its my grandsons turn 👍 but growing up , i loved building the old model stockcars , nothing like you build , but it taught me patience and thinking, . Your collection is awesome, thank you for sharing such a talent 👊👍😎🏁
Amazing body of work, brother. You have a very nice work/ display space. I look forward to seeing more from you. I live about an hour from Knoxville Raceway and several other dirt tracks, so I love seeing the sprint cars and I noticed some late model pictures you had displayed too.🤓👍
Thank you very much!! Glad you noticed that, that whole row of pictures above display case are all autographed as well. Happy holidays and stay tuned!!
I really enjoyed your video and your creations. I built a ton when I was a kid. Got me through a lot of loneliness and mostly kept me out of trouble. Now that I’m in my 50’s, I see the kits at the local Ace Hardware, and they make me smile. I might just have to get back in to the hobby. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching and enjoying! I truly hope you do go grab a kit and do it again! Watch my next couple videos and get the urge! Thank you much again!
Thanks for sharing this awesome collection. You and family are very talented in capturing the detail and making it count. My favorites were the snake and mongoose funny cars.
One hell of a nice job Jimmy on those shelves boss.....👌Very nice collection too.. Would love to watch a dusting video too....🤣🤣 I know what its like when I do mine !!! Also what a great thing to enjoy your hobby with your family...how great is that?
Thanks for giving us the tour, I gotta watch it a couple more times just to drink it all in. Great models, equally great shelves showing off all your skills, lol. I’ve never seen such organization (your back stock). Nice tributes to your Uncles, my old man started me off back in 74. Keep modeling, brother! Again, fantastic work!
Thank you for sharing your collection. I really enjoyed looking at all your cars. I don’t have many hand built models but I have been collecting hot wheels gassers for a while now. My gasser collection consists of 30 or 35 55 Chevys. Some of my favorite die-casts are of 57 Chevys with most of them being tubbed. Thanks again. You have a really nice collection, and it’s really nice that your Son and Daughter share in your hobbies.
The first thing I noticed at the beginning was the Red Baron behind you then way off in the distance I noticed your Little Red Wagon. Those two alone brought back so many memories very nice collection. It made my day thank you.
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!!
Absolutely fantastic display. What a 1st introduction video😮. Looking forward to seeing more of your builds and anything you have WIP. Brilliant. Happy new year to you from Ireland 🇮🇪
Outstanding collection & work sir, I am in awe... I have a lot of diecast myself in my storage locker, one day I would love display them. Oh and also, on your Dale Jr shelf, two of those cars were driven by Martin Truex Jr when he drove for Jr & Kelley's Chance 2 Motorsports before they left to join Hendrick...
I really enjoyed your video. You did a great job on your first video! I look forward to getting a closer look at your builds. I too, love race cars and it’s pretty much all I build these days.
Welcome! You’re a bigger neat freak than I am. I ran out of space long ago and simply replace with ones I like more. I’m too shaky to build these days but have gone hard on the new resins ( the details are astonishing and they’re in limited numbers. We love knowing there’s value. Your paint work is awesome . I too have as many in storage and I display (when I switched from 1/24 to 1/18 and now 1/43 is trending. The best thing is that your kids are involved. And they won’t wind up at a yard sale for a dollar 😁
You are a very dedicated and productive person. So many many hours you spent to create this massive collection is mindblowing! Not only that but it is done beautifully with very nice details. I'm a bit surprised about this hehe. Thank you for the tour. I could spend hours admiring and studying this collection. Have a good day and I hope you get to spend many more hours on your modelling hobby. Thor, Denmark.
Hey, that is quite some collection and some nice builds.And you're organized! Every model is evenly space down to the millimeter between cars and the trophies! How did you win so many trophies even though not all are yours? Contests like the NNL's are tough to win. Any model contest is tough to win! Show us more and thanks ! 🇱🇷 🇨🇦
Thank you very much!! Trophies come from takin my kids to local contests, no NNLs. Organization comes from my carpentry skills. Thanks again, happy holidays, and stay tuned!!
Thank you for sharing your cars with us! Outstanding work for sure. I look forward to more of your videos as I think I have built a few of those models when I was a kid. Take care, Randy
Great collection and terrific job on the race car builds. Just getting back into building plastic kits after many years in the RC side of the hobby. Glad to see your kids are involved and will treasure your builds for many years to come. Looking forward to your next build.

Also im super glad you said you were going to go into detail about your collection I was even going to suggest that would be sweet if you did. Thanks for deciding to share that with us!

Thanks for sharing, ...kid at heart, so I appreciate it;.
Passion, patients, creativity...
