1962 Chevy Corvette 327 Fuel Injected 3n1 1/25 Scale Model Build How To Assemble Dashboard Engine

[@vernhoke7730]

My first ride in a Corvette was in a '62, back in '76. My 2nd cousin was restoring one, I helped him out a few times. When it was done I drove over with my girlfriend to see it. He said climb in, so with her sitting on my lap we took off. Man things were simple back then.

[@jamesfranczak4831]

Amen to that lol. They had to DRAG me into this 21st Century lol

My daughter asked me something interesting the other day. She asked me if it was okay if she wasn't good at her hobby, as long as she was enjoying it. I told her Of course it is, it's a hobby. That's what a hobby is for.

[@hpiguy]

You're correct, a hobby is supposed to be about FUN, not stress.

[@donaldwallace1525]

Tell her that I personally couldn't have a hobby if I had to be good at it. But I keep on doing the things I enjoy 😉.

[@rickzinck9326]

Nice job on your 62 Vette Chris. I'm going to throw a suggestion at you. Why don't you talk with Jack at model round up & see if he can arrange for you to attend the ACME show in November this year. Model round up always has a vendor table set up at the show. A lot of you tube model builders attend this show & I'm sure they all would enjoy meeting you. I sure would like to shake your hand & say hello & thanks for your contributions to our hobby.

Chris, I'm 68 years old and have been building models since off and on I was a kid, 60+ years, long time. I still learn a lot from your videos. So glad I found your channel. I Recently retired and now building a lot more! Look forward to your videos every week. Thanks

[@lifelongpatriot3695]

Hi Dave, Im at the same point except Im 69 years old.I really could relate to your comment.

[@richardlee1092]

Well guys I’m 69 and ditto to you both, glad I started when I was eight years old! Model on!!!

[@kennethauslander589]

Great build video. Regarding the side coves: the 1962 Corvette did not offer chrome outline trim around the coves and the body was one color. I didn’t see Leno’s movie, but if his ‘62 has cove trim it is an aftermarket addition.

[@garryrenfro2326]

Leo's Corvette in the movie is a 1960. The last year the coves featured a chrome trim surround with or without contrasting color was 1961.

[@randytaylor1258]

Chris, at least 50 percent of a car model is the final finish, and you've hit this Vette out of the park. It's absolutely gorgeous! The detail is lovely but the overall effect is just stunning.

[@hpiguy]

Wow, thanks!

[@ToddHLHG]

Another great build and video my friend! I love watching these while Im building.

[@seanh2390]

awesome box art on the kit

[@jgarcia3949]

Nice work! As always!! Thx for the tips!!

[@PapaWoody440]

This kit always made me think that whoever did the original mold confused 1/32 and 1/25 scales when he did the headlights. Old AMT kits really make me appreciate newer tooling.

[@anthonyhendricks7377]

Great build!!!

[@almoffat7504]

Nice one Chris I build that kit about 15 years ago but I’m gasser mad so it got the twin blower set up ,keep building 👍🇦🇺

[@urbanurchin5930]

I am curious about the paint. As a base coat for the body, you indicated that you used flat black (and not black primer). What is the advantage or benefit to using flat paint for a base rather than a regular primer ? I have been using rattle cans for a long time and this is something different for me.

[@kennyspaulding796]

I too am curious 🤔. Why the flat instead of primer?

[@trevorupton241]

Great job on all your builds. Keep up the great work & helping me get Motivated with my builds cheers

[@richardbennett8678]

First of, love your videos. Can you tell me what you use to clean testers enamel paint off the brushes??

[@dinoallbaugh2050]

odorless mineral spirits(paint thinner)

[@danrosenello4847]

Your build looks good anyway. But a quick look on IMDB tells you Lenin’s car was a ‘60 in that movie. Which explains the chrome side trim. The car also had a ‘58 hood. So maybe it was pieces together.

[@danrosenello4847]

Sorry, Leno’s car ! 😁

[@donaldwallace1525]

Have you ever done a walk around to show all of the models that you have built? I would love to see them all displayed. But as many as you have built your wife may not go for a model display of that size. Thanks again.

[@michaelsmith1926]

Great job, Chris!! Thanks!😊

[@robertmann7277]

Oh... I forgot-- a simple hack is to put a bread tab on the end of the tape, it takes some getting used to, but in the end it's one less thing to worry about

[@kinleycalvert2915]

Great build. Future coat looks especially good on the black. Thanks for powering through another great kit. Always a joy to watch.

[@toddburlingame2186]

Great job. She looks good.

[@michaelupton3107]

Sharp looking vette😊❤👍

[@andrewmcgibbon9785]

I thought I remembered building this but I wasn't sure until I saw the chassis with the exhaust and rear dif molded in. Then I was sure. I was always disappointed when I bought a kit like that. Their 63 corvette was the same. Ironically the 53 corvette kit had a frame separate from the bottom and was very detailed

[@michaelmassey5929]

love to watch your builds and love that bluegrass music!!!!!!

[@doublenickelbob]

Always look forward to your videos. Keep em coming, I'll keep watching

[@ronroberts2453]

Excellent build Chris, great color choices 👍!! Good advice on the ride height for the front end!! And a wonderful presentation as always!!

[@robertmann7277]

Looks great ( as all your stuff does )

[@hpiguy]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@ralphwilliams2396]

Nice build this is 1 where u want 2 of em

[@johngligo4049]

Wow! That is one one SWEET Corvette build Chris! Incredible work!

[@maryfiltz800]

Really a sweet looking little corvette.

[@davidhinkson8856]

Simple to put together but looks really nice in the end.

[@MrModelworx]

Wow this is an oldie! Remnants of that kit are from 1961, too bad they didn't sort the headlamps it but its still a very buildable kit as your build shows!

[@rubencardenas9384]

Loved your build!!! I legit want to get 2 of this kit for me. Terrific job as always, and happy modeling!!

[@richardlee1092]

Great job as usual Chris! Love the Vettes! Thanks for the review!

[@jamesfranczak4831]

A couple things....why not paint those coves....why use Flat Black instead of Black Primer? Like that color for the interior.

[@Huevony1]

Thanks for your videos!!

[@cabinvibeetsystore9094]

New sub! Liked 🚀🙏👍😀

[@davidpayne4315]

Very nice job Chris stay safe and positive

[@loutruckmd]

The coves on a 62 corvette were the same color as the rest of the body. 61 was the last year of white fender coves.

[@johnlynch8174]

Do you ever use frogtape when youre painting chrome?

[@mikeevans9770]

Where are the side view mirrors?

[@johnclemans7802]

Great job, need to get one! Build on!! 😎😎

[@kennyspaulding796]

I did want to do the drag version but after seeing this video I now want to also do a stock version. So! Upper hole for stock, lower hole for drag, ( I like the high frontend for drag). Very useful tip thanks 🙂👍.

[@DarksouIjah]

Awesome job.

[@craigwellsjr3968]

That looks awesome!

[@samuelvasquez8170]

Awesome build

[@kaefergarage]

The only thing I never liked on the 1962 Corvette by AMT: the headlights. They look way to small. Compare it to the 1960 Corvertte by AMT. They look perfect and I don't know, who messed this up when the mold was built. So my way to build one is to cut of the front end and replace it with a propper one from an "older" C1. Take a look to Revells 1962 Corvette: it looks perfect at the front.

[@rayrussell6258]

Excellent paint job, I love the shine you get with the Pledge. Were those 4 lowering blocks all the same, or could they be switched front to rear to fix the ride height? If they are the same, I'd worry that using the other hole would make front too low. In that case, maybe using a grinder to remove a bit of the block would fix it, and still use lower hole?

[@openexhaustmodels5139]

Brilliant job mate👍

[@jcsgaragejohnc.5027]

Excellent build, May I ask, what type of brush glue you use , when building your models. Also what brand was that pink tape you used on the body, Ty

[@hpiguy]

I personally like Bondene but all the modern liquids work well.

[@sugarhillsrr]

Great job, Chris. I am with you I would like to see it a little lower in the front.

[@michaelcooke2559]

Great build, and great review of the kit. The tips on building the kit are much appreciated. You really need to consider getting some shop cards printed up for your many followers. Also, you really need to re-consider setting up a Spring store (you had previously mentioned the tax issues with this, but I really think it is time for you to do this) and selling t-shirts, hoodies, coffee cups, and stickers. A viewer has done graphics for you, so you are pretty much ready to go with it. If you do this, be sure to have 3xl, and 4xl shirts. I would love to have a couple of t-shirts and a sticker for my model toolboxes. Please consider this. As usual, thanks for sharing.

[@mikehedrick7223]

Chris you need to get spray can handles from Walmart. They clip on the rim and have a pistol grip. Your finger will not tire out You can get them wherever you get your paint. Great build.

[@ghosty7894]

Any tips on building a kenworth w925

[@richardray9267]

Chris this has nothing to do with the build it looks great here is my problem I'm using Mr cement glue and it does not seem to hold have you used it and what are your thoughts thanks

[@MrMakemyday3]

whitewalls are too wide to be correct for 62

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

👍👍👍

[@gerdogstenc2534]

That indent on the side is called a cove. The chrome trim for this is really, rare.

[@r.a.monigold9789]

Despite my continual suggestions offered up during every build AND that you always ignore - you've turned out yet another finished model far better than anything I could have. Let's face it, as long as you keep ignoring my suggestions, your builds will continue being the superior "art" that we've come to expect. So you're welcome. (huh?). BTW - Nice Vette. I love your take on Leno's ride - it's a beauty.

[@ungurdani8346]

Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe . .

[@samuelvasquez8170]

I was just watching a Don Yost v=You Tube video about paints. He said the Rest-Oleum paints are not made for model kits. So why does it work for you and other builders that I watch? He seems to be very condescending even though he does have some great tips.
