[@hpiguy]

Welcome aboard!

Thank you very much!

[@maccustoms2295]

Aww good old testors silver when I first started building models as a child that was the main go to color for just about everything from exhaust tranny rims bumbers any thing metallic. Great color scheme with the berry pink. As always fantastic build have a great week Chris. Thanks for sharing.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for watching as always! I love using the old school stuff and having fun!

[@JoePhillips1983]

Picked one up today, looks like it should be a fun kit to build.

[@raphaelhernandez4088]

Great job ounce again I can smell the testors from here!

[@hpiguy]

You and me both!

[@MarkMeadows90]

I built this back in 2008 I believe. I built it up using John Deere inspired colors. Tamiya TS-52 Candy Lime Green for the body and John Deere Yellow (think it was Krylon Field and Implement spray paint) for the roll cage assembly, chassis tubes, bumpers, and wheels. I can try to get pictures of it some time and show that on the hpiguys Facebook page. As always, another fantastic build by the fast builder himself. Keep 'em coming Chris.

[@hpiguy]

Very cool!

[@billybleedscrimsonblood9478]

Cool! There are no chrome parts. I love that!

[@charlesmcclure5994]

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for watching!

[@DocsKustomKorner52]

One of my all time favorite open wheel modified kits ever! Great build!!

[@hpiguy]

Same here!

[@DocsKustomKorner52]

@@hpiguy just a good basic kit

[@brandonb1681]

RIP Eddie Van Halen. Being a guitarist, it seemed appropriate given the circumstances Chris is talking about. I hate cancer.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for watching! What a loss to all of us!

[@bobastu]

Beautiful build. Nice detail work! I was going to say the car is sponsored by Pepto Bismal, but cancer research is very appropriate. God bless! Be healthy and safe!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for watching!

[@timburnette5914]

Awesome! Pink for Breast cancer awareness month!!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for watching!

[@chrisC052]

[@hpiguy]

Thanks a bunch!

[@ralphwilliams2396]

I'm here for anything racing really digging the color n details

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for watching!

[@jtsmodelworkbench9968]

Love that color! Berry nice, indeed.

[@hpiguy]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@seansmith3304]

I remember watching my dad build that model one Sunday growing up I’d love to get one and do myself

[@hpiguy]

Grab your copy and relive a fun memory!

[@seansmith3304]

Thanks I plan to! Happy I saw you build this one 👍 my models have really been turning out since watching your videos ... keeps me modeling a lot too 👍👍 good work

[@tygrkhat4087]

Lost my father, grandmother and aunt to cancer and my cousin and friend's wife are survivors. F*** cancer. Great build Chris, keep up the good work.

[@brandonb1681]

Amen. F*** cancer. I've lost a mother, 3 grandparents, a great grand parent, 2 nephews, and 2 very dear ex-teachers to this plague.

[@hpiguy]

Thank you and sorry for all your losses!

[@simplelifediy1772]

reminds me of Shirley Muldowney, even though she was the queen of dragsters

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for watching!

[@floody79]

Super cool build Chris! This is another kit I'm keen to build, after seeing some images of Jim Hoffman's injected 494 powered Chevy modified. Big tires, low stance, ticks all the boxes.

[@hpiguy]

Sounds great!

[@bigd-1-channel514]

Nice paint job. I own all 4 of these ORIGINAL ISSUE Kits from the 70's I kind of hate the re-releases and the kits I held as collector items lost a lost of the value. Guess I might as well build them. I also have an original issue AMT - AMTRONIC it has the full cardboard diorama and light green tinted glass.

[@hpiguy]

Reissues let us all build the kits we like. Enjoy your classics and build a reissue. ;)

[@maryfiltz800]

Great build, neat to do the pink for October.

[@hpiguy]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@askoseppanen3779]

Good work, sweet model thank's for sharing. While i was looking at the i thought that would make a great gasser

[@hpiguy]

Thanks 👍

[@mike-rk6me]

Awesome build video.love the trick for the wheel sanding.going to have to try that.

[@JimFlanagan4206]

Great job! That color scheme looks great. I can see someone actually running that car at a track.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Jim!

[@sugarhillsrr]

Great built once again, Chris

[@hpiguy]

Thanks again!

[@hensleyshobbies-doug7761]

Yep, Chris that Testors does the same to me too, but the 70’s for me. Ain’t it funny how certain smells can bring back certain memories, nice but funny, I guess?!? Cool build there though, I’ve got the 06 release of that kit, still in the box and new, the “Street, Stock & Strip “ series.

[@hpiguy]

Nice man!

[@hensleyshobbies-doug7761]

hpiguys Workshop - 👍👍🤘

[@docb.9908]

...and you're a lefty too! Great work.

[@hpiguy]

Yes! Thank you!

[@kevinmillin2848]

Great kit ,its a beauty ,terrific job

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for watching!

[@danielross1033]

I have a few sets of the original good year race tires I got from a old friend they are not pad printed they have the raised letters on them and I like them like that

[@robertwayne2004]

Great build thanks for sharing your friend from Canada Rob ✌

[@hpiguy]

Thanks!

[@GeneralHobbies]

dont know if you watch Vice Grip Garage but this and another coupe kit of some sort would look like the race car he just bought on his channel... nice work!👍🦅

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for watching!

[@r.a.monigold9789]

Great color choice ! ! !

[@hpiguy]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@soupy607]

Cool video you make everything look so easy...but can you imagine doing that to a real 3 window !!

[@hpiguy]

Ha, it would be fun!

[@kirchnerfarm]

Awesome build Chris...

[@hpiguy]

Thanks 👍

[@Djmeeple]

Super duper cool! Love how you did this up. Excellent fun build.

[@hpiguy]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@harpermotorsports16]

I really like those wheels and tires! I may buy this kit just for the wheels and tires to do a kit bash for a custom dirt car that I'm thinking about building

[@hpiguy]

Enjoy!

[@glennsloggett1876]

Although not really a fan of this type of racing I would buy this kit for the parts alone . It's a nice looking kit and love the colour. Who knows you might convert me over , these are cool looking cars.👍

[@hpiguy]

Right on!

[@BobBerardjr772]

What is this gel pen set called? Beautiful work!

[@michaelcooke2559]

Another great build and review of a nice simple kit. It is always nice to have a couple of simple kits in the stash.

[@hpiguy]

Couldn't agree more! A break is nice!

[@dwaynewatson4279]

Great job chris love the color cool build thank you

[@hpiguy]

Glad you like it!

[@southern_angel]

Sweet kiit waiting on a stock 34 round 2 has the mollds the coupe and sedan reissue this i see it now stock street rod rat rod barn find hope they doe this so you can put your spin on it

[@LagoAZ]

Who are the two dickheads that gave this video a thumbs down? Great build as always.

[@mikeb8644]

Is that oil pan on backwards? I know that's how the instructions show it going on, but I've never seen a car with the bulge in the front.

[@stevenertle2876]

Great job is always like thoroughly enjoy your builds do you use super glue on everything other than like you're modge pause you're talking about on windows and stuff In any particular super glue And you've built so many of these super glue lasts for years and years I'm guessing correct just curious because I love to build and I'm gonna get back into it again thank you for your input and please keep it up great job thank you

[@hpiguy]

I use model glue for plastic to plastic and super glue for final assemblies.

[@ronroberts2453]

Killer build, I really love your color choices! Great presentation Chris!!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for watching!

[@lukasgarage956]

Nice touch/thought......thanks

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for watching!

[@johnmanley7859]

I'm a cancer survivor . Thank you for the tribute .RIP Eddie

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for watching and congrats!

[@darnoldie]

Awesome!! Have you been watching Hagerty"s Red Line Rebuild of a similar race car from that era? Some of this stuff was still running when I was a kid. Not in any sanctioned competition but as Saturday night specials during the Central Wisconsin State Fair in Marshfield. The Sunday race featured the big guys from Iowa driving late model cars. Probably mid to late 1950s. Great looking cars but not as sharp as your model came out.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for watching! No, I don't have much time for those other shows at the moment, thanks!

[@Auzha]

Awesome build as always! Love your videos Chris!

[@hpiguy]

Glad you like them!

[@mattrogers8280]

Very nice build as always. Could of also done orange October is Agent Orange Awareness as well.

[@hpiguy]

Good call!

[@ronstewart9792]

Sweet build.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks!

[@nitropfunk]

Great color choice Chris, beautiful build.

[@hpiguy]

Glad you like it!

[@psychlyst]

nice build as always...my only nitpick with the kit is as MPC has done with several models they use the same chassis with different bodies...this one the rear deck doesn't cover the fuel cell.Still these are fun builds

[@hpiguy]

Good point!

[@johnmichaeldrahuca8432]

A powder puff car 👍

[@hpiguy]

Oh yeah!

[@rickbachman993]

Looks Great!! Thanks

[@hpiguy]

Glad you like it!

[@wadeplanty9856]

nice looking model

[@hpiguy]

I think so too!

[@bigcharliesmodelgarage296]

Awesome build love the color. Thanks for sharing Chris

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for watching!

[@johnwilliams7102]

Tuff !

[@hillbilly7292]

Great job 👍

[@hpiguy]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@bevh85]

Great build as always! Just wondering have you ever found that future floor polish is incompatible with any brand of paint or decals? You got a great finish with it on this model and I'd like to try it. I use mostly Tamiya and Testors spray paints, sometimes Rustoleum.

[@hpiguy]

Not that I know of, but if you apply it to rustoleum before it's fully dry it can make the Future crack later as it flexes.

[@biker_mike50]

Awesome build up

[@hpiguy]

Appreciate it!

[@freewill51]

Awesome kit and build. One complaint though, hit those headers with some rust or brown pigment. I ain't never seen a dirt track car that did not have brown headers after one race. Even a a top team modern sprint car has brownish black headers,

[@hpiguy]

This one is fresh from the shop in my story.

[@richardarios5706]

👍 pink

[@rubencardenas9384]

Kinda got thrown off with the berry pink haha Still a great build

[@hpiguy]

Thanks!

[@wheatonsspeedshop1412]

👍👍👍 love it

[@hpiguy]

Thanks!

[@southpaw5483]

Any difference between using Sharpies versus Gel Pens? your thoughts are welcomed.

[@hpiguy]

Sharpies are great for larger areas that I need dried right now. Gel pens are great for small details, finer point.

[@connor.f8205]

I would’ve not gone with the pink I would’ve done like a plum crazy purple

[@connor.f8205]

Still looks good though

[@jeffyoung8726]

Wow, love these kinds of builds. Love'em ALL, but these hold a special place for me. Great job Chris, as always! See ya in the next one buddy...

[@hpiguy]

Awesome, thank you!

[@jerrypeacock2234]

The wild one is a re-issue of the Richie evens model

[@hpiguy]

Cool!

[@allam.16]

I want it!

[@hpiguy]

You should get it!

[@Bapp75]

I would like to see a Revell 1980 ram charger 🙂

[@Bapp75]

and I just bought a amt nomad so

[@davidjohnmiller4849]

I do not believe the engine is a 428 Ford . The 428 was in the FE engine family . The FE had a huge intake , where the pushrods went through , and narrow cylinder heads . The valve covers go over the intake(pushrod area ) and heads .

[@davidjohnmiller4849]

Looks like a hole at the back of the intake , my guess this is a bbc and the distributor would go at the rear

[@hpiguy]

Yes, as spoken about in previous builds MPC has you place the magneto in the front if the body behind the engine is a Ford and in the back if the body is a Chevy. 90% of people will never notice and it simplifies molds, etc.

[@smokewagon2625]

We need a tour of completed models Chris. Would love to see HPI guys Display models.

[@hpiguy]

I don't display them much. Way way way too many to fill a house with model cars.

[@edwardperry4226]

Why use primer on everything

[@hpiguy]

Creates shadows where wanted, and a good base for the color coat to stick to.

[@leonserya720]

Has many layers of paint does your paint booth have?😂

[@hpiguy]

Thousands.
