[@charlespalavros5908]

WOW ! nice job Doug got it my list to purchase

[@RightOnReplicas]

CP, thanks old friend! -Doug

[@carmaniac3]

Cool kit! I have to buy the same model kit

[@RightOnReplicas]

CM3, Nice fit too! -Doug

[@GetYourModelOn]

I very nice review and build of this kit. The model club that I belong to is doing a group build of this kit. One is box stock and the other is pretty much do what you want. For the do what you want version. I am thinking about converting this kit to a utility vehicle and I will call it a El Gran Torino. Can you offer any suggestions on how I would do this?

[@RightOnReplicas]

GYMO, an ambitious project for sure. I guess I'd start with a MPC '86 El Camino kit and cut the roof line short on the Ford to graft the bed into the back end! Just cut and fit and add putty! -Doug

[@timautobody2675]

Nice job I have the same kit I ever started on it yet

[@RightOnReplicas]

Tim, Well there's no time like the present! -Doug

[@garysautobodyservice8548]

Nice build I got the same kit working on it now

[@RightOnReplicas]

G, You'll like the kit as it has good fitting parts. -Doug

[@yellowguy808]

I'm currently building this kit and I think my kit came with an extra intake manifold. The part number is 12 which isn't even on the part list. Was this part intended for this build or was this an extra part from the starsky and hutch version?. I'm reborn into the hobby and am in love with your channel, mahalo and aloha from Oahu,Hawaii 🤙

[@RightOnReplicas]

YG, That kit does come with a "spare" manifold that can be put in the parts bin or discarded. Thanks! -Doug

[@ohguy1991]

@2:40...The air filter is not installed at this point. It's near the end of the build

[@jamesfranczak4831]

I need 2 find this 1 and the 63 Impala so I can build the cars I've had Years Years ago good job

[@RightOnReplicas]

JF, Good luck and have fun! -Doug

[@MP-yu5vy]

I wonder if there's any resin conversions to clone it to a 74 to 76 cougar I know there's resin Montego for those years

[@RightOnReplicas]

MP, Sorry, I haven't heard of one! Thanks for the watching and please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers! -Doug

[@Wesley_C]

Beautiful paint man.

[@RightOnReplicas]

[@rickzinck9326]

Good review Doug. Thanks.

[@RightOnReplicas]

Thanks RZ! -Doug

[@ianwhite4914]

anther nice build Doug i was going to build the amt christine kit but i noticed from othere builds that it is not right as you no the movie car had 2 4 barrle carbs well the kit only has one

[@RightOnReplicas]

Ian, sounds like it's time to look through the parts stash for that intake option! -Doug

[@theadventuresofjavier8698]

Love it. If i can find one i will paint it in the starsky and hutch corlors

[@RightOnReplicas]

J86, OK, but you could just buy a S&H kit: Revell #85-4023. It's reviewed here in the TV Show models! -Doug

[@kyleSD70MAC]

Looks real nice in red! I'm getting one with my next paycheck. What clear coat do you use?

[@RightOnReplicas]

BFM, I use an automotive two-part urethane clear coat! -Doug

[@Tiffany.1970]

[@RightOnReplicas]

TB, Thanks you and thanks for watching our review! -Doug

[@robertvalentin5846]

[@RightOnReplicas]

Thanks RV, Don't be afraid to try painting. You'll only get better if you practice. Use some old junkyard bodies to paint first for practice! -Doug

🤣🤣Was that English??? Learn how to form a sentence!

[@joserafaelgrangefuenmayor7744]

Me gusta el carro un Ford Gran Torino; muy bonito

[@RightOnReplicas]

Jose, ¡Muchas gracias por vernos! PD, suscríbete si aún no lo has hecho para ayudarnos a llegar a más modeladores. -Doug

[@alfredogontijo8044]

Que pintura linda.

[@trafficsignalman]

Doug, great build, but the license plate. The Michigan '76 plates were awesome, those are classic plates! Seriously, though, nice review and build. Enjoy your work.

[@RightOnReplicas]

SM - I gotta say - I was torn, but the logo plate is a tradition around here! -Doug

[@trafficsignalman]

Can't argue with tradition!

[@ianwhite4914]

ya for shure willtry that thanks man

[@RightOnReplicas]

OK, no prob! -Doug

[@ohguy1991]

Why does the rear axle look "fuzzy?"

[@RightOnReplicas]

B, Out of the field of focus for the camera! Thanks for watching and please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers! -Doug

[@ohguy1991]

@@RightOnReplicas @ 4:55 No it's in focus. Looks like it was flocked. Strange

[@RightOnReplicas]

B, Oh yeah. I remember now. That was 5 years ago. That's a "sand" paint meant to represent undercoating. It's on some of the other parts as well. Thanks for sharing and please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers! -Doug

[@doweneedthis2326]

Wish they would fix the front header panel letters, side window openings and bumpers. No way to fix the bumpers without needing to replating them. This kit is not bad, but it sure needs a bunch of little fixes to make it right

[@RightOnReplicas]

DoWe, You're right, there's always room for improvements! -Doug

[@ohguy1991]

I didn't see any reason to mess around removing the copyright script as the rear axle covers it and you'll never see it

[@RightOnReplicas]

B, That's entirely up to the builder. Thanks for sharing and please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers! -Doug

[@ChrisSmith-nm8gb]

Should have painted it white with a red stripe. Then it could be a Starsky and Hutch evil twin. Kinda like Kitt and Karr.

[@RightOnReplicas]

CS - Hmmmm! -Doug

[@andrewdrabble8939]

Well there were two Striped Tomato's on the original pilot episode so technically you could have two on the shelf

[@lornemarmet5898]

My dad had this car but a sedan. Red!

[@RightOnReplicas]

Lorne, Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching and please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers! -Doug

[@rickr442]

Looks better if you darken the grille, (like a real car...). This is a really bland car, I'd. Put a couple of them in a HERTZ rent-a-car office as a diorama.

[@RightOnReplicas]

Rick, Welcome back and thanks for sharing! -Doug
