1964 Plymouth Belvedere 426 Wedge 225 Slant Six 1/25 Scale Model Kit Build Review and Weathering AMT

[@Danfunnyman1234]

It amazes me how good this man can make a kit look with just sharpies and craft paint

[@twotone85]

Yes!

[@fishsquishguy1833]

ManFred TheLast Dont forget the Floor Wax trick he does too! Makes the paint look deep and the windows like glass

[@eclipsehorse8693]

Just goes to show you don't need a lot of high end paints and tools to finish a model up- just about everything you need can be found around the house or in the craft section at Wal Mart. Why give companies like Tamiya top dollar for the same tools you'll find over in hardware or in health and beauty! :) Spend that extra money you save on another kit! :)

[@allam.16]

He's a professional builder.

[@StaticModel]

Good to know that such kind of modelling still exists, nowadays it tends to be highly equipment focused, beginners also think they need all those fancy airbrushes and name brand paint, ect... This is what modelling suppose to be, pure fun, creativity and improvisation... :)

[@trusttherust4854]

The background stories for why your models are built the way they are, are great. I wonder if the complainers ever watch/listen to your video to the end. You know, where you say "to build them the way you want to".

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Love the ol' 64 Plymouth!!! 👍👍👍

[@raphaelhernandez4088]

Mid 60s mopars are awesome can't get enough of these cars love the way it looks just enough rust to make it look like it's been stored for 40 years great job thanks for showing it.

[@andrewglennie2230]

This kit was also used as a Richard petty stock car. Thats also why there are holes in the interior pan for the roll cage

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Yes it was Andrew.

[@gojoe2833]

Also why one side of the door panels is flat with no details

[@r.a.monigold9789]

I was 17 and a friend's older pal bought a BRAND NEW 64 Belvedere with the HEMI. Gas gauge needle moved as fast as the speedo. What a rush. Very nice build. Keep the stories - builds - coming. Thanks.

[@normanhumphrey9695]

Really nice build, I was surprised at how nice it came out and with the spare motor it would work well with a diarama too. Great work, love your videos.

[@robertvc4716]

Love how you do your builds and the thought of what the owner is thinking and how you tell the story! Awesome job and love the weathering and detail

[@ronschulz6026]

Nice job. I actually owned the Dodge version of this '64. It had the slant six, and it was the slowest thing I've ever driven!

[@charlescolbert8374]

Once again Chris is the master at what he does!

[@MODELMIND72]

Build from your heart and you can not go wrong.

[@hpiguy]

Exactly!

[@KBCC_Garage]

Yet another great build/review. Couldn’t wait to see this one. Yes, the door panels are for multiple Mopar interiors of that time. The Color Me Gone Dodge 330 particularly, uses the “smooth” door panels. Anyway, I love the mild weathered flavor with the Slant six. Very cool!

[@jdperrenoud]

Didn't think it possible, but you exceeded here your already high standard for superior craftsmanship. Thanks for once again showing how weathering can be done well without huge effort or expense.

[@robertwayne2004]

Thanks for sharing from a friend in Canada Rob ✌

[@luckygretroman]

The smooth door panels are indeed for a race version. Another awesome build sir!

[@johnodham5428]

Thanks I started my model Monday it looks like real car like always you do a real nice job

[@rcpete7055]

Great imagination 👍 love your back stories into the owners of the cars😀😀🤣

[@hpiguy]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ls6-ss413]

Amazing job! I find your videos very relaxing. I haven't built a model in many years but with my first son on the way I think I may be getting back into it!

[@hpiguy]

You can do it!

[@gregorytalber2068]

Excellent superb outstanding perfect fantastic great eye popping incredible jaw dropping amazing beautiful job you did on that amazing model keep up the good work thank you for your expertise.

[@rickalkins5119]

Your tutorials are extremely helpful!!! I thank you and appreciate you for taking the time.

[@hpiguy]

You are so welcome!

[@teddyjones8027]

Great job it looks awesome as always brother. Expertly done detail work. Thank you for sharing. Hope everyone is doing great, staying safe and healthy. REMEMBER TO SMILE AND HAVE FUN

[@Merylstreep1949]

Had this kit in 2009 when it was labeled Lindbergh/Model King...stupidly sold it. Now I can buy this one

[@PontiacBanker]

Damn! He makes this look WAY easier than I know it is! I have been building models since the mid-1980’s and this puts my stuff to shame. Loved watching this! Thanks for the tips, techniques, and supplies.

[@leonardcormier8228]

I've been doing model,since I was a kid won't say my age but believe me I built alot but I like watching your show I've learnt a lot of new thing's from the show keep up the good work my friend.

[@fredandkit]

Hello, nice job. The one I did was the first issue and I think it had a radio in it. I used the 426 and used the cross ram intake 2, 4 barrel intake from the 1949 mercury kit from AMT and posted it on a web site and got 5 stars for it and great reviews. It is black with a red interior like the one I saw on the inter net I really like your build. thank you very much for it.

[@saltields7649]

I just built my own version of that car and just loved it. It gave me ideas on how I could build one or two more of them. Not one of my best builds, but I sure did have a blast building it.

[@ScaledDownCustoms]

Looks good. Love the weathering.

[@rickzinck9326]

The 64 Belvedere is a great kit & you did it justice. Nice job! Thanks Chris.

[@adammarsden4650]

I did a version of this kit end of 2019.... Best kit iv ever built yet.did it as an early drag/funny car style and its truly amazing.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

It's always been my go to kit also on those subjects Adam.

[@ianmunslow5675]

Just the right amount of weathering , great build Chris

[@hpiguy]

Thanks 👍

[@Donaldopato]

Built this recently. A friend's mom had one like this when I was a kid. Painted it the same light blue. Wish it had a column shift for the stock slant 6, I had to fashion one. Otherwise, a lot of fun! Loved that it had a radio delete plate in the interior.

[@ronaldhuff635]

that is somethibng i agree with you on, no column shift for the slant six

[@merrillschaps2325]

Yes, the plain door panels were used on the 426 Max Wedge Super Stock version that came without a back seat and smooth door panels with black plain steel wheels. I really enjoy watching how you do all the amazing details and love the stories that goes along with each build!

[@robertwayne2004]

Thank for sharing your build a friend from canada Rob ✌

[@garyparker2969]

MORE BEANS Chris !! Perfect EVERYTHING. Looking Forward to The Jolly Green Ford Build. Thanks Again For Sharing n God Bless All.

[@shanes3060]

Sweet little car! Love the idea that it's a slant six car getting ready to be turned into a hotrod !

[@hpiguy]

Oh yeah!

[@garyslentzii2796]

I have more Mopars than any other cars and l have a lot of models built. I'm getn this next time l go to HL. Keep building man, gets me motivated and this is a beauty.

[@Duececoupe]

Great video and beautiful looking build, as always! Need to get a few of these, sleeper, pure stock, ratty....so many ideas, so little time! 🤜🏻🤛🏻🍻😆😂

[@dwaynewatson4279]

Another great build chris awesome detail love the 2 motor package

[@mikaelwise807]

Another great build. I really enjoy the back stories you give these cars

[@hpiguy]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@lovepets2781]

I love the detail in this kit and then you add in the detail you put in to it and it makes an awesome build. 2 thumbs up on the kit and your representation of how it can be built. Great review.

[@justinmyslive4108]

As always Chris you don't disappoint. I really enjoyed this build. I like your back story of the guy getting grandma's old car and making it his by his plans of taking out the old "leaning tower of power " and dropping that 426. This would be awesome done up as a sleeper also

[@RAMBENNA]

excellent build Chris, thank you, love the weathering and the stories. thats what I do put myself in a 1/24-1/25 world

[@hpiguy]

Cool, thanks!

[@westernsharpie]

Turned out good, real authentic looking 🥇

[@bigchef2112]

Correct. Race version where you can paint aluminum as a plated interior. Great build as always.

[@almoffat7504]

Wow Wow Wow another amazing kit lots of detail and a nice shape car you yanks have some awesome cars can’t wait for the next one I’m a gasser nut

[@saltields7649]

I just picked up one of these cars and I’m going to be using the custom chrome wheels and tires from the Moebius ‘71 Ford Ranger XLT kit. I removed the posts at the rear of the door, to convert the car into a hardtop.

[@Jay-en3mu]

Looks amazing, great job as usual!

[@moparnut6286]

Nothing like an hpiguys mopar builds...... Awesome!

[@BarnDoorProductions]

My parents had that very car, back in the day -- a nice green with the slant 6. Best engine (for reliability) that Chrysler ever made. Push-button auto transmission -- guys like Dick Landy used the push-button trans with early FX stockers. I remember pictures of Landy doing a wheelie with one arm resting on the window ledge and his left hand pushing buttons.

[@darrinjones2348]

darrin jones what a cool set of wheels

[@SolamenteVees]

Fantastic build! The 426 was known as the 426 Street Wedge.

[@artoodiitoo]

Awesome! I was just looking for more used looking models, and happened to find this by chance. Really makes it look more real. Been thinking of starting modelling again, last time I did was in late 90s, just been pondering between spray paints or investing into an airbrush.

[@hpiguy]

Cool, thanks!

[@Djmeeple]

Very cool model. Looks great. Looked like a super fun build. Very nice.

[@josephpercel8802]

He tells the owner's bio! Kool!

[@TariTheBluejay25]

Yes for darg version a friend from canada Rob ✌

[@ramongonzalez2112]

Very nice. Great job. Lots of fun.👏👍

[@charlesball9977]

Always a blast to watch your builds! I purchased this kit the other day and can't wait to build.

[@jamesfranczak4831]

Great looking car love it yes those back side of door panels are for racing

[@apophislord4889]

The four spd or three spd bell housings were painted engine color, the automatic bell housings were unpainted or silver, I’m not a rivet counter, but some things I like to be close to correct, but it’s your model and I like your work and I’m subbed.

[@dadctf6243]

Those double sided door panels are for when I screw up so bad on one side I can flip them over and try again🤣🤣 Great job as ever Chris 👌👍

[@hpiguy]

LOL

[@JimFlanagan4206]

Looks fantastic as usual! I used the slant 6 from the older version of this kit in the recent 78 Dodge long bed pickup.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Best Dodge slant 6 out there Jim.

[@c.d.scalemodels9198]

Cool kit Chris, if one is very careful, one can cut the other door cranks from the other side of the door panels & use them on another kit perhaps.........if I could, with a very sharp #11 blade, I would consider it.

[@kirchnerfarm]

Nice build Chris...had to laugh at the paint booth...lol thanks again

[@the-primered-thumb]

Old school skills are the best 😁👌

[@charlespalavros6952]

Looks Great use a lot of your tips used blue tape like u did on the ford gasser to chrome trim the sides of my 1958 - 300 helps when hands not steady they made the 426 wedge & Max wedge with 2-4 s cross ram & Hemi , My buddy had a cross-ram dodge 330

[@michaelcooke2559]

Nice work on this one. I really love how this kit is laid out. Love the engine options. It would be nice if there were a couple of wheel and tire options, but there is always the aftermarket. Lol.

[@p-BlackWidowp-BlackWidow]

Great job, love your work. And you make this hobby fun and I enjoy doing them for myself, like you say do it for yourself have fun 🇺🇸👍👍...

[@hpiguy]

Thanks, will do!

[@ronroberts2453]

Really awesome build Chris! Totally dig your weathering/aging tips as always! I agree that this is a detailed and excellent fiting kit, especially the slant six. I build mine as a six cylinder drag racer. Outstanding presentation my friend!

[@ronaldhuff635]

glad you decided to do this kit, it is very similar to the richard petty kit that i bought years ago but did not build, i still have the dash insert from that kit, that kit came with the hemi, but it seems to me that there was some difference, that being the door panels, seems to me that in that kit the window cranks were on the chrome tree, and there were recesses in the door panels that could be painted body color for that super stock drag car, nice thing though i can cut them off and make the recesses with a drill bit, sadly, in the changeover, amt did not include the racing exhaust that was in the lindberg version, they are almost identical, and i wish i could find the richard petty version to kit bash with this one, ( i have three) so i could make a drag car with a hemi, a max wedge car, with this ones included 426 wedge, and a grandmas grocery getter like us older guys would have gotten for high school daily drivers, as usual, nice job on this

[@lysdexicsoftheworlduntie1881]

Chris, your weathering skills are top notch and something I aspire to. I know your closing monologue regarding haters was directly aimed at that person who trolled your videos just to spread negativity. As I said on your Facebook page, you have far more fans than haters and we all enjoy your work and content! Your channel brought me back to the hobby, which is why I post my project progress on your page. Once I get past my guitar business venture, I will be back on my models and currently have a couple new projects in the works soon. One of which is gonna be the International Payhauler 350 that I know is a upcoming video and build from you (I very much look forward to that!). Just remember to paint that Detroit hot pink (I mean Detroit Alpine Green) so the Bus Grease Monkey doesn't haunt your dreams lololol.

[@hpiguy]

Yup, I just like poking the bear now and then to let them know the fun continues!

[@eclipsehorse8693]

Wow, AMT has really been adding to the catalog (or is that car- alog?) lately with these really sweet kits! If you' missed them the first time under the Lindberg name, or were on the fence about building a Lindbergh kit- you get a second chance! Keep bringing us the beauties Chris!! :)

[@vonclod123]

AMT round 2 had this 64 Belvedere.. Lawman. The door panels came in the Lawman kit, which was a super stocker, oh, I see it goes back to the Richard Petty kit..nice stuff!

[@doublenickelbob]

Do I need to say _another great build Chris?. Another great build Chris.

[@horrido666]

I remember riding in the back of my dad's Belvedere, probably in '67 or '68. It was rusted so badly I could see the road through the floor in the back seat.

[@hpiguy]

My uncle had a Pinto like that, and you could also see down through the shifter too.

[@larryshamlin7573]

Love the color,nice work, love the rusty work.Beautiful job😎love the vids,thanks

[@hpiguy]

Glad you like them!

[@diecast_MikeEspo]

SOO KOOOOOLLLL. Awesome work as always. Hemispheric ? HEMI , Hahahahahh Mike Espo .

[@samuelvasquez8170]

Awesome looking build

[@cuda426hemi]

As a Mopar guy - EXCELLENT build. I have the Petty one un-built - which explains the dual door panels as well. Good job, glad you went with the 'leaner' - one of the coolest mills ever. 🚗

[@nk53nxg]

Another great fun build. Pity no kit makers do some British humdrum sedans from the 60's and 70's, like Austin Cambridge or Standard Vangaurd or even Triumph Dolomites ets, they would be great to weather up as they rusted like an old nail in sea water 😅🤣😂. Keep the vidos coming.

[@artoodiitoo]

I wonder when you paint the parts still attached to the molding frame, how do you handle the missing paint spots after cutting the parts from the frame? Do you cut and sand those and add more primer?

[@billgraham1791]

Good work man just started waching you best model builder i seen yet

[@SprueFascinationChannel]

Lovely result Chris 👍

[@plymouthdie-castreplicas]

Wonderrful piece and great job, mate. The Plymouth B-body cars are really bestial. I have a '64 Sport Fury 426 max Wedge by Greenlight.

[@MrModelworx]

Another beauty Chris, these are nice kits.

[@davidking8968]

Looks really cool,i like your build.i have some of these from the past,il like how you built this one , great work.

[@Merylstreep1949]

The smooth door cards are from when Lindbergh did the early 60s Mopar drag cars, if which I have two, The Bill Maverick one and a Color Me gone one, which I think comes WITH a Super Stock Hemi

[@WaybackTECH]

I will have to do an Uncle Tony's Garage version of this. Hobby Lobby sells this kit.

@@hpiguy I am so far! It’s my first ever model. I quickly learned to assemble the engine before painting. I’ll know better for the next one! great video, I’ve been back to it for reference many times.

[@notenoughmemes1847]

AMT has definitely been killing it recently with their new kits in terms of detail and parts count. I would say its on par or even better than what Revell does with their special edition kits

[@hpiguy]

It's the golden age if you like reissue kits, they are doing a great job!

[@RG-hs7ht]

great presentation.

[@madratproductionsllc6545]

Awesome build!!

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

oh man! I'd need two, one with the six and a custom with the 426.

[@krazi77]

I might buy this kit just for the slant 6 engine. might do a little kit bashing and put it in amt's 78 dodge pickup kit.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

That is a great engine to get!!

[@JimFlanagan4206]

I did that exact swap from the old Lindbergh kit. It looks great and fits easy.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

@@JimFlanagan4206 Yep, prefect engine.

[@tommys_chopshop9432]

I did exactly this! It’s so hard to find kits with 6’s, most kits are just hero type cars (muscle cars, hot rods, luxury cars) and unfortunately most only come with v8’s.. I personally prefer economy cars like the pickups and this Belvedere and the dodge 330 I just picked up, because they’re the type of classic cars I prefer.. anyways, decided not to use the slant as it went in the 330 and my father-in-law fired up the 3D printer and made me a later slant with the emissions stuff on it to make it look more correct

[@plasticchronicles3560]

I really enjoy your builds and presentation. I'm thinking about doing some filming and uploading not sure where to start. 🤔
