AMT 1934 Ford Pickup 3n1 Texaco Tow Truck All Done!!

[@lancerevell5979]

The truck looks great! Jake can ride proud in that rig. 😎👍

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you very much. He sure does like standing on that box. LOL

[@geoffhipwell2198]

It calls for a celebration! It's done, finished!! It was quite a journey, but it was worth it. It just looks great Mark. That was an ingenious idea for a 'battery box'. The whole thing looks fantastic. Chalk that one up as a 'job well done'. I'll even 'congradulate' you!! You won't know what to do with yourself. I suppose you can put more work into the 'Gas Station'.Something completely different?? Who knows. IT'S DONE!! 👍👍

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

LOL. Thank you very much. You just made my night. I did have a lot of fun with this one. Next will be the air compressor for the gas station.

[@edwardhood6252]

You've out done yourself on this one, Mark! This tow truck looks AMAZING!!!!!!!

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you very much. It is a good kit.

[@olezippi]

That's a good looking 34 Ford Mark. I like the ole Ford pickups.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you very much. It was a lot of fun to build. I like the old Fords too.

[@marksmodeljunkyard]

WOW, that came out great Mark. I've built a bunch of these as wreckers and I love building them. Great job as always and thanks for sharing.👍👍

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you very much. I will be doing this kit again. It was a lot of fun.

[@PatrickKend]

I absolutely love this. Everything looks perfect. Couldn't have been done much better and i love things that just "set off" a model but the wooden box in the bed and especially the gas can strapped to the side are exceptional. Just an awesome all around job. 👍

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you so much. I had a lot of fun building this one. If I was going to do anything different I would have put a couple of hazzard lights on the roof, but that's about it. It all went together nicely.

[@crisslastname9417]

I love the flathead motors. This kit came out really nice! 👍

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Yes, I do too. This kit had a good one and it built up nicely

[@kyledehartsscaleworks]

Great result mark!! The lighting turned out awesome. Perfectly weathered. Great color choices. Just going to look perfect with the station.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you very much. I'm very happy with how this came out.

[@kyledehartsscaleworks]

@@grandpamarkshobbies you definitely nailed it with this one.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thanks.

[@tjeisenbraun647]

Awesome video and the music with pictures is the icing on the cake!

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thanks TJ. I think I got all I could out of this one. LOL

[@rayrussell6258]

My little town used a Ford of this era as the volunteer fire department truck, all the way into the early '80's. (lol, our 2nd unit was a '38 Chevy .... no budget so we kept the old ones running!) I actually made a couple runs with the Ford (as passenger) to a couple of grass fires when I was a teen. With your skills, I'd bet you could make a fire truck.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

That is so cool. If you could somehow get some pictures of that old truck I'd for sure make one. How fun would that build be.

[@rayrussell6258]

@@grandpamarkshobbies classiccarsmarks.com/images/full/1934-chevrolet-fire-truck-4.jpg It looked like this '34 Chevy from the rear, only with white fire hoses in the rear compartment, and a couple of fire extinguishers on the running board.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

I looked one up and that would be cool to have. I may be able to find an old pickup and do something like that. The town needs a good fire truck.

[@alancyr3100]

That came out awesome! Great detail. Thanks for sharing.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you very much. It is a good kit.

[@stephenirvin4426]

Looks awesome! Battery box came out great! Nice work, it'll look awesome in the station!

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Dang dude that turned out awesome. It’s looks so good in the station, well done my friend👍 great production on your vids love them.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you very much. I'm very happy with how this came out. I appreciate the kind words.

[@tomcatflynn805]

Another amazing job getting closer to test the waters on airbrushing. All ur tips and pointers r being applied one model at a time. Thanks for the videos

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

You just made my day. If you do decide to go for an airbrush check out this link. www.gaahleri.com/?ref=GrandpaMark They have their own webpage now. I'm so glad I can help out with anything. If you have any questions before you jump into an airbrush give me a shout and I'll see if I can help.

[@tomcatflynn805]

@@grandpamarkshobbies thank you. I will reach out to u of course I asked Santa for a paint booth lol. Right now practicing on my car hoods. Keep up the great videos

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

LOL. You should see my spray booth. It's a plastic tote that I cut the back out for a bathroom fan. It's crude but it works.

[@ModelCarMinion]

Nice slick looking truck. I like the look of the extra stap on the gas can. The new battery holder works great.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you very much. I am so happy with everything. That new battery holder should force me to do more lights. LOL

[@RobertSchildt-vt8yw]

Fantastic build Mark! This is one of my favorite kits ! I have a stash of these under the Lindberg and amt labels! The options are almost endless of how you build it, stock, custom,shop truck and drag version! Again well done!

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you. You are right, it has a ton of options. I will be doing another one for sure. Just loved building it.

[@modelrestorations]

Excellent build, Mark! Great job!

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you very much.

[@davidchin350]

Like the details and festive colors, just in time for the holidays😊

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

LOL Thank you very much.

[@Weasel3DE]

Great build as always, now you need a '37 or '40 panel for parts truck. Done in same paint, then maybe a '34 coupe for shuttle service!! Oh my I'm thinking to much!!! Lol always enjoy your builds.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you very much. Last night I put the Granny's Hot Rod into the cart so I can make the 1921 truck. LOL I think that one will serve well as an off the wall truck for the dio.

Mark, I have to tell you that is one great looking 34 ford tow truck you built I've got 5 of them, I got them for the cement blocks and the boom, I built one but it's not as good as yours. keep up your great builds.

Your welcome!! @@grandpamarkshobbies

[@PatrickKend]

I just had to tell you that I normally build muscle car models but I was so inspired by your Texaco truck that I swore if I ever saw the kit I’d grab it. Well I went to my hobby store and they had it with the Sunoco branding. It will be such a great change of pace.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

You know, you just made my day. I like switching things up so it doesn't get stale.

[@PatrickKend]

@@grandpamarkshobbies I'm so glad I could make your day. I really like the kit. I'm trying to figure out what colors I want to do it and what I can do to "make it my own" build. This will definitely be a fun build. Thank you for the inspiration. I plan on starting my own KZbin channel soon so I'll let you know when it is up and running and I think this may be my first build of the channel.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

That's awesome. I will subscribe for sure. I wish you all the best in your KZbin endeavor. It is a lot of fun.

[@LennisShultz]

Great Work on this!!! Im also looking forward to the building of the one i just got. Its the AMT 34 trophy series.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Well Mark, you did it again! Incredible build. Detail is cool. Geez where 'd ya get that idea for a wooden box? Nice job on fabing it all out. Nice touch with the tools and battery. LEDs look great too. Everything is weathered just right. Wires? What wires? I couldn't see any... Another great build and video. Thanks Mark.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you very much. The idea for the box came from my wife. She did one of those "Wouldn't it be cool if" things and I ran with it. LOL Those tools were a blast to do. Only thing, I lost the hammer. No clue where it went. I think this was the best I've ever done lights. The wires were long enough where I didn't have to add any length, and that made a big difference. I needed to do some weathering, but didn't want to go overboard. That was the hardest part. LOL Again, thanks for watching, following along, and all your help.

[@richiek6379]

@@grandpamarkshobbies That's what I'm here for LOL.

[@richiek6379]

HEY !!! No reference for the new battery holders. Just the old ones. I found them with some searching. No biggie I guess. But you should add it. LOL

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I totally forgot. Just added them. Thanks again.

[@michaelmccrum7273]

Another off the hook build. Well done. But the amt stock firewall has a coil that is supposed to be used for the chrome engine not the flat head. The coil for the flat head is part of the distributor.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you. I must have seen something else in the picture I was looking at. I saw a wire coming from the firewall going into the back of the wire loom on that side. If there's a 50 50 chance I'm going to come up with tails. LOL

[@michaelmccrum7273]

@@grandpamarkshobbies there are many types of distributors for a flat head and many have a coil and wire but the kit is molded with the coil on top of the distributor. I'm building the same kit and having trouble researching the flat head. Keep up with the excellent builds.

I had a hard time finding anything on that hardhat distributor.

quite the stunner of a truck would be cool to do another service type vehicle but put your logo on the door im sure a logo could be printed easily with with a printer and sticker paper

@@grandpamarkshobbies that would be neat be good im hoping to do a reproduction 32 ford truck build in the not to distant future then road trip it i want to see the west and midwestern states also theres a possibility of a street legal mini bike for potential rides in the desert any way im watching model car builds because there just isnt a lot of 32 truck builds on youtube that arent rat roddy car show creepers i want to build a unique reliable and safe truck but with a twist i want the modern touch ac power steering power brakes heat manual trans bucket seats cup holders am fm stereo in other words a highway cruiser when i do this build ill probably document the build but it will probably never be put in a car show im looking at model builds to get ideas for interiors and wheel and tire combo's admittedly though im think im going with american racing chrome and black modular wheels (they were every where when i was a teen and i always liked them) sorry for such a long rant be cool sir

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

I've always thought it would be so cool to have a roadster with all the modern amenities, and do just what you are talking about. I'd love to drive the west and see all the sights. Also go to Roswell. I've always wanted to go there. I liked your rant, and you sparked my want to build and hit the road again.

[@Bruces-Eclectic-World]

Wow! That turned out Awesome Mark! Love the new battery holder setup. You did not show the headlights but for a second. Did you paint the inside yellow to tone down the white light? Anyway, another great build... 👍👏 LLAP 🖖

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you very much. That new battery holder will save me a ton of time. I had everything set up to do the lights, but got a phone call, and while I was talking my brain was turned off and I just glued on the covers before I painted them.

@@grandpamarkshobbies Hahaha, information overload... 🤣 👍 For me that is normal I don't a phone call for that to happen... See I can remember things past yesterday... 😁 I ordered me some of those holders a bit ago so thanks. 👍 Still looks great and the box is a cool addition that Jake can ride on... You need to make some battery jumper cables and hang them on the hoist for the jumper battery. 🤔 LLAP 🖖
