1951 Henry J Gasser w/ Blown 427 1/25 Scale Model Kit Build How To Vintage Retro Drag NHRA Revell

Seeing the name Orange Whip makes me think of John Candy in the movie The Blues Brothers. "Who wants an orange whip? Orange whip? Orange whip? Three orange whips."

[@stevenbongiorno9277]

I like the music. Sometimes I can hear it , while I’m working on my models.

[@xKmotx]

Paint with music. It has become one of your signatures. :)

[@xKmotx]

Pro tip: In your editor set the original audio at 75% and the music score at 25%.

[@cedrichumphries]

Blues Brothers is the answer to the orange whipped

[@marksimkiw923]

Great job.,liked video with music on

[@alanq64]

I like the background music.

[@georgetompkins5438]

i dig that crazy music, man

[@bambutu]

I think I've said it before, but this channel is costing me a fortune in cool models lol!

[@Markycarandbikestuff]

In the past few weeks i've bought four MPC stock car kits because of this channel, waiting on the GTO super stocker to arrive, not cheap here in the UK either, about £35 a pop : /, it's a great hobby though and i'll be ok with builds for a while.

[@khart1961]

Henry Js were built by Kaiser Motors and named for the company's founder, Henry J. Kaiser. They were also sold at Sears stores under the Allstate name. Kaiser only lasted for eight years,; it started in 1945 and merged with Willys-Overland in 1953.

[@urbanurchin5930]

A little further back in history....Henry Kaiser's company built ships during WWII. He developed a health plan for his workers in the shipyards because he felt that a healthy employee would be more productive (of course, he was correct). The resulting health care company today is known as Kaiser Permanente. After the war, the company also built home appliances like refrigerators and (I think) washing machines. The appliances were sold (by Sears) under the Kelvinator name.

[@patrickmoran8790]

The original engine used in the Henry J wasn’t a powerful engine. It used a Continental flathead four cylinder, possibly 134 cubic inch, and related to some farm tractor and industrial engines of the time. They came with a three speed column shift transmission. The Henry J was built as an economy car, as was Willys, and very light as compared to what GM, Chrysler, and Ford were doing. The Big Three didn’t follow the economy idea of that time to that level. These Revell gasser kits are reissues of kits from the late ‘60’s, when it was common to see Ohio George, Big John, SWC, Pittman, et al, in Hot Rod magazine, and similar magazines, until NHRA quit gassers and altereds due to funny cars and evolution of dragsters, and ?safety?.

[@urbanurchin5930]

@@robertmann7277 I was also a member of Kaiser Permanente Healthcare when I lived in Denver. Unfortunately, they are only in a handful of states. This is sad because I felt it was one of the best plans I ever had. It should be a model for what national healthcare should be.

Sir, Painting with your signature tune in the back ground please. Falling Leave's Pretty please. Suits your style indeed.

[@valorieausen8240]

Well Chris I prefer to hear music when you paint but I do like hearing your cans Rattle 😃. Love the build as always 👍

[@davidparker2259]

Blues Brothers! This is a win-win. It’s a Henry J, and it’s orange. Nice job, Chris.

[@edquintero8659]

I’m used to hearing the same guitar , banjo song . Kinda miss it . 🙂

[@racerm50]

Very nice build, gassers are my favorite drag cars. I like the music I listen to music when I build.

[@madratproductionsllc6545]

And I'm going to have to get this one next month I really enjoyed the review on it I got the Godzilla's go-kart all I have to do is start painting and assembling it now I want to get this one great job I love the way it turned out

[@randytaylor1258]

Of all Revell's gassers, I built them all except for the Henry J. My loss-- that monster Ford SOHC 427 is awesome! These cars are often run with tinted glass now. With the printed templates this is easy to do using stationery report covers for acetate -- blue, red, or even smokey gray look cool. If you mount the seatbelt decals on aluminum foil and then cut them out, it's easier to drape them on the seat and without the decal snuggling into the sear texture. I like painting those headers VHT flat white -- they bring out the other colours in the engine bar. That red REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT tag on the decal sheet would look great hung off the parachute pack. Nice job, Chris. I think I'll go looking for this one!

[@fmsteve1222]

orange whips? you want an orange whip?- John Candy in the Blues Brothers!

[@briancarsen6315]

I do miss the music when you are spraying paint. I heard your voice again Wednesday, and I enjoyed that. I love your build, but always build for you! Merry Christmas to you and yours!

[@NicksCollectableCreations]

I like these old kits. These make perfect hot rods.

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

Very nice build! I’m glad they brought this kit back, always wanted one. A long, long time ago I can still remember how that music used to make me smile. I miss the tunes 🎶🎵

[@Backyardcabinlife]

This is really kool

[@brianthompson2184]

Thank you!!! You are awesome 👌 just got back into building and have watched your videos on the builds you are doing. As they are the same models I've bought and are building or going to build. Great stuff your putting out there!!! Thank you again!!!!!

It's now winter here in Oregon time to get back into the hobby. Just bought a 40s Willy gasser truck.

Another awesome job a definite must have thanks for sharing 👍🇦🇺 and I do like the calming music

[@petermillecento4906]

I build recent the Revell Thames panel truck gasser. The kit was ahwsome! everything opens and the fit was "Tamiya" quality! That was a big surprise to me! The Henry J you are building is in the same style. Nice build!

[@markcoleman2156]

You are the master of modeling

[@ArgaMiniature]

awesome kits👍🏻👍🏻 What I love about revell. And amt kits they they always have some chrome parts for old classic cars

[@grb351]

The music is one of the reasons I love your channel. Enjoy all your videos Chris.

[@markfergerson2145]

Yes, please continue music during the paint segment. I thought something was wrong with my computer until the text came up! I remember those Henry gassers back in the day. Always crowd pleasers because everyone else was running boring old Fords and Chevies.

[@moufakos]

Painting while listening to music, especially : Fresh Fallen Snow, Morning Mandolin & Jincheng Zhang - Discussion Background Instrumental. Is very calming 🇬🇷

[@sydrider6023]

That kit just entered my must have list, tks for this demo vid.

[@gordonbarrett4601]

Back in the day, when I bought my first copy of this kit, it came with a 78 rpm vinyl record called "Jumpin J" which was a conversation by 2 guys at a drag strip seeing and explaining what a gasser and Henry J was. Revel did a few of these records but the Henry J was the only one I ever had.

[@randytaylor1258]

AMT's 1968 Shelby Mustang came with a 45 of Dan Gurney giving commentary as he drove one around Riverside raceway. THX

[@dougbyron1918]

Great build. Can’t wait till I can start the build on mine

[@richhartman6364]

I have the original model that I built a few years ago. Love how some of these older kits are reappearing. Keep building those kits. The hood on mine fits nice and snug with no problems.

Cool, thanks!

[@rcpete7055]

Every few years I come back to building these kits, always a pleasure to build along with you and I often use your colour schemes 👍 Do u ever want to have a break and start a different hobby like RC cars/boats or planes..? That's what I do it keeps it fresh and exciting for me 👍👍🤘✨

[@briancarsen6315]

He actually did a bangood boat a few years ago that was rc. He took it out and ran it. Very highly recommend you check it out !

[@charliegomez3795]

I like the builds you complete. I know this is going to sound funny but I really like the mellow music you picked. Really adds to the program. Thank-you. Sometimes I build a kit at the same time. A cool way to pass the time.

[@hpiguy]

Glad you like them!

[@dsdhotrod5326]

Got both of mine yesterday and can't wait to build mine. I bought the Model King version a few years ago and there are a couple differences like rims and decals but this reissue is still in fantastic condition. GOOO REVELL

I kind of like the spray paint scenes without music it's very relaxing just hearing the spray..lol. Maybe you can hum us a tune while you're doing it.😃

Nice job, got mine last week over here in Scotland, radiused the rear arches so it rides lower at the rear, fitting the 396 Hemi from the 32 Ford kit and color will be jade green. Great little kit, will buy another.

I'm Dan, Martha's my wife. Most of the Henry Js and Allstates were built at the Willow Run plant in Michigan, the same plant Ford built to build more B-24 Bombers, the plane my dad piloted in WW2, that any other F-24 plant.

[@pretzelogic2689]

Reminds me back in High School one of us ran across a Henry J, we all chipped in and bought it. Cleaned up the body, got a Chevy engine running on the stand. Never got the suspension set up and not a good interior. No money, we let it go. Learned a lot about engines and body work though. Always wondered what it could have been. Thanks for a great video.

[@Merylstreep1949]

Yeah glad to see this one back, tried building it as a kid,omfg those doors! Hope to get the much better reissue

[@r.a.monigold9789]

This ALMOST gave me the "Willis" (also made by Kaiser Motors, like this Henry J). But the Henry J could ALSO be bought from the Sears Catalog and delivered by freight train as the "Sears Allstate Coupe". This Henry ain't THAT. With A GIANT HEMI and a B&M Hydro Stick trans I'd bet THIS one could get past the stock Henry J's top speed of 60 just a few feet beyond the start line. It must have been a rush... A GREAT build, Chris. Again, your detailing is amazing. Thanks for doing this!

[@TheAutisticModeler]

Beautiful job!! I like the music during painting. It covers up the paint booth noise and clanking of the spray can. Again great job.

[@johnroberts5285]

Great donor car! I’ll have to get one. Nice update on this old kit.

[@jimklette580]

Super cool I don't recall ever seeing this one before. I really like yellow cars and orange. Can you do an orange one sometime soon. That's if you take request lol. Looked more yellow when spraying turned out like butterscotch still cool maybe cooler. Now it looks orange lol. I gotta get my eye's checked but the VA takes forever to get anything done. I just heard you say orange.lmao

Hey Chris,I have finished AMT's GMC Astro 95 cabover a few months ago,I have yet to get the Fruehauf FB beaded panel dry van trailer or the Fruehauf exterior post van trailer for it;to use the trailer decals that came with the kit,to match the decals that are on the truck;and the truck is super detailed as well.

[@nitropfunk]

Great build Keep the music 🎶 it fits your style

[@michaelcooke2559]

You did a great job with that kit; especially, your assembly of that multi piece hood. Very nice color choice. Nice to see you using super glue gel, which I think is the best invention for modelers since Testors silver. Lol. Big shoutout to Revell for the dash gauges and the seat belt decals. They are doing the dash decals in a lot of their kits now. Please don’t cut out the “rock video” section. I like the music. Just maybe talk about the small cans of spray paint you used, and be sure to put up graphics on all of the brush paints.

[@davidhinkson8856]

This one came together nicely, and TBH, I always find the music you use very relaxing. Got me through lockdown when I first discovered this channel last year and rekindled my interest in building model kits again.

[@13Dixiefried]

The painting works better with music, it helps cover up the white noise the exhaust fan gives off. Other than that, great video.

[@scootosan]

I have been watching/subscribed for a while. I enjoy the passion of creation and making it "your" own.... it's about having fun. Modeling keeps one young and it is a art form, and with any Art form the critics contribute their opinion.... no matter good or not it got through... example, as an artist Picaso is laughing all the way to the bank.

[@paulredding5864]

Another enticing review but having the Willys Gasser, I have to draw a line somewhere 😏 One thing I am looking for more and more is the tyres in the kit are either pre-painted or have the decals if shown on the box artwork. Most of the time they do. Cheers
