From where did you get inspiration to start your own build?

Hi to all. Being a bit curious here. Would like to know how you found your way to building your own roadster?
I personally got the nudge from my coworker, who started to build a Cobra replica. Some pictures of his build are here. Then I started to look also for various kit cars and found Chris's book. It looked perfect as already had two Sierras laying around. But how have you found your way to this magnificent hobby?
