[@powersmodelgarage]

That’s a sharp truck!

[@garyjust.johnson1436]

[@buckster2575]

I remember this one as the scavenger monster truck.

[@Stupidfastracing]

[@funken079]

Great kit, grabbed this the day it was available for pre-order

[@modelrestorations]

Great review and build! Thanks Chris for another amazing video!

[@stig800]

Looks great 👍

[@duhrailed]

I remember building the original issue long ago Was fun then Would be fun building again

[@clarenceupton6243]

My favorite body style of the Datsun truck, the Datsun 620 pickup truck 🙂❤️👍

[@ronroberts2453]

Great review and build Chris!! I really appreciate your candor and honesty in regards to these presentations 👏👏👏! Keep them coming!!

[@hortonshotrodshop2003]

Nicely done.

[@_BAD_MERC_]

You have COMPLETELY reignited my love of model building!! I paint differently. Primer is your friend. Tamiya Liquid Cement is a game changer, Mod Podge is good for everything! I use colors differently and use blackwash and flocking powder. Damn - I have a PILE of models to complete. I already built the '69 F250 to look identical to my dad's old '67 F100 that I learned to drive. Just finishing up on Elvira's Macabremobile Thunderbird with leopard interior!! Waiting in queue is a Viper convertible, AAR Cuda, SVT LIghtning pickup, and Mustang convertible.

[@davidpayne4315]

Really nice work Chris KUTGW

[@maryfiltz800]

That is really a sharp looking one - another fine build.

[@planker]

Thanks

[@billhayes7383]

Outstanding video and presentation

[@swampcabbage3239]

As like everyone else said. Like your genuine simple solutions to having fun

[@robcates2383]

Another great videoChrisI can't wait to get this kit!

[@johnlayton9563]

Great build. Looking forward to it arriving in Australia

[@adrianmarriner5742]

Looks really good. Nice work.

[@charlesstarlin6354]

Cool ride 😎

[@richiesspeedshop82]

Great job on this !!!!

[@danielkemp4801]

Nice kit and a nice review with a great build. I like the "flip-nose" front end. Keep on building Chris, you are doing a great job. Have a nice day.

[@Tom-ux2tr]

good job thoroughly enjoyed

[@jarialshurfield5696]

My first actual car was a 68 nova, that a so called friend got rid of for me and got my older models too. The reason I have trust issues. My second car was a 76 Datsun truck, just like this model. My first model was this exact model. I loved it. Looking forward to getting another 2, 1 to build 1 for my collection. Chris as always you did a wonderful job on this build.

[@michaelcooke2559]

That kit builds in to a very neat looking model. Love the simple kits. Great job assembling and paint it. Thanks for sharing.

[@hensleyshobbies-doug7761]

Cool Chris! I can dig it! Nothing else that kit would make good pieces/parts for something else.

[@garyparker2969]

👍👍👍👍 GBA 🤗 Gary.

[@LarrysModelShop]

Great build and I love the frame color.

[@dapc777]

~nice build~I love dragster models~I have been building stock models out of the box for over a year now and recently about a month ago I started taking the parts out of the 3 in 1 kits and making pro stock cars and trucks~it is really cool in using your imagination~keep it up~ your channel inspires me~😀

[@jwalk7345]

Put a video up of all the models u have in your collection that would be awesome I’ve been watching your channel for a long time and you where the one who got me back into building model cars I can’t thank you enough buddy keep up the good work you definitely have a talent and skill for this hobby

[@hpiguy]

Thanks!

[@michaelmckinney8702]

I'm approaching age 60 and remember building this when it first came out! I have been waiting for one to be available on fleabay at a decent price. What a surprise to see that this has been re-released by round 2 !!! Thanks for the awesome build video!!

[@jasonrothgeb6071]

I just rewatched the portion of the video where you "blued" the headers. This is a neat detail I have want to try forever. I am building an MPC Trike that is a perfect candidate for this technique. I will share my esukts on the Facebook group.

[@rickbachman993]

Another great build! I Really like what you did with the headers, looks realistic. Thanks 😎✌🏻

[@haljohnson5729]

I only work on my models in the spring/summer. I have a barn that serves as a man cave(have my 1:1 toys in it and a slot car track) This video really has me jonesing to start building. I built up a stash over the winter.

[@frankcerne7613]

That looks awesome matey..MPC are coming out with some nice kits...like the Centreline rims...it would have been good if they included a set of convo pro rims..but still awesome...

[@johngligo4049]

Very nicely done on the Datsun Gasser Chris! That chassis and engine detail were off the charts! Keep it up!

[@joemenchaca1326]

Well now I know your name hello Chris. You build beautiful models.I have a suggestion pick up the magnet jig from micro mark it's inexpensive and will hold your parts very straight till the glue dries

[@Merylstreep1949]

I loved how much milage MPC got out of the gasser chassis It definitely needs to go under a 55 chevy hopefully Round 2 will make it happen

[@gordonshumway8030]

Nice👌 thank you i always enjoy your builds.....You could ha cut a paper template for the front fenders ans cur part of the flame decals you had leftover ....i would have put some small sponger decal for your pars bin on reach front fender...

[@robertmann7277]

That looks EXACTLY like the work truck I had ( what?, I worked at a very progressive city- LOL! )

[@donsgarage684]

Great kit review as usual Chris. I remember getting this kit at the Detroit autorama. I will DEFINITELY be getting this kit again and remembering some great times. Thank you for doing this one. Take care and happy modeling. Don😎

[@greggabel7238]

I have that in the form of a Drag Racer and a Monster Truck as a Wrecker Truck called "Scavenger"

[@adrianmarriner5742]

Nissan the new Datsun.

[@iancadwallender9779]

Wish we could get these kits in the UK.

[@r.a.monigold9789]

How good does this look? I started moving furniture to make room for it when it drove off the monitor - it looked so real. I remember some of these at the drags in the 80's - they were bendy, alright. But fun to watch, even as they twisted. Thanks for a fine-tastic build.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks bud!

[@dirkmontgomery5983]

That was the scavenger tow truck years ago its was yellow

[@ruy1050]

As you may know dragsters are not my piece of cake, but I always enjoy watching your videos. They're very inspiring. BTW, I don't use rattle cans, only water based acrylics, and I wonder how long your paints take to cure. Thanks for sharing your nice job.

[@bluegrasscrazy7307]

I use a cooler glue on my chrome pieces to prevent the gases from making my parts cloudy like canopy glue...

[@Merylstreep1949]

Funny what you say about skill level I built this kit when I was 12 yrs old or thereabouts lol

[@BBBILLY86]

Hmmm the decals were issue on the Hogg Hauler seat belts and now flames here. Wonder if it's a industry issue now?

[@hpiguy]

Highly doubtful and more likely to me having bad luck with those recently.

[@jameslarke6177]

Hey Chris question before u start to put your model together do u soak parts in SG or do u just wash them off I used to model as a kid but haven't done so in years but watching your vids is getting me back into it so thank u for all the awesome builds

[@minu1764]

I have washed mine in Dawn Dish detergent for a long time, and haven't had a problem with paint not curing

[@chipwalker3610]

If you think this hood is bad wait till you get to the stage where you mount the hood on Fanhome's Fast and Furious Dodge Charger. But their might be hope because they also made a Japanese version that's different then what we got.

[@urbanurchin5930]

.......but THERE might be hope.......learn English......

[@modelcars2978]

🤓👍

[@biffklg]

Did you have to change out the drive shaft to the shorter one?

[@hpiguy]

No, I used the part # the directions called for.

[@twistedplasticfanatic9534]

Great video and build!! Hey just wandering, after all these builds what happens to them?? Do U keep them all or do you sell them or give them away or ?? Just curious....... I would have to buy a second house just to put them all LOL. Later!!

[@Minty8901]

What brand of paint do you use it always looks really good

[@hpiguy]

I show all the sprays used during the painting section of the video.

[@Tess_untamed]

What kind of glue do you use ? I've never been able to glue chrome or painted pc. like your doing. I'd always have to scrape the chrome or paint off before gluing.

[@urbanurchin5930]

......like YOU'RE doing.......learn English......

[@nielschristianwithmller138]

Hi Kevin, I always sand down the surfaces on the chrome parts, because I thought that there is always a thick layer of chrome and by sanding it, it fits better in the assembly. That works for me

[@hpiguy]

I use cheap dollar store super glue to attach final pieces like chrome. I rarely have a problem. Plastic model glue is used for bare plastic to plastic parts.

[@Tess_untamed]

Just wanted to know where the part #2 in section 8 goes ? It doesn't make sense in the instructions ? Awesome build anyway. 👍 I just seen where it went, thanks anyway 👍

[@andyjones357]

Every mpc model I tried to do I had to scrap them frames twist and warped so bad by the time I chassis glued together

[@ratmans203]

Same body for the monster tow truck

[@mindwarp12]

Didn't you also have issues with the seat belt decals with the Mad Mudder? Does Round2 use the same decal company as Revell? You mention it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpm4ZGqrlM2Za7s

[@hpiguy]

They use totally different companies. It's just a run of bad luck on my end.

[@courtland4566]

I had that kit many year's ago can I still buy it anywhere?

[@kevinellam6710]

NIZE. BUILD BROTH"R 😮
