Awesome sauce Chris! Thanks and Happy Holidays to you and yours 🤠✌️

[@neilhaas]

That's a very interesting car like a snake a cold blooded reptile. Nice build hot rod. All species of snakes besides rattle snakes.

[@badenov]

Yet another great build, Chris. I was going to pass on this kit but after seeing how cool it looks I think I'm going to have to pick one up after the holidays. Thanks for bringing this to us. Take care of yourself and that cold. Until Saturday!

[@ThomasBieschke]

I think that looks like rose gold for the chrome parts. Feel better. I enjoy your videos. and quick builds and honest reviews.

[@michaelcooke2559]

Very nice looking build. Nice choice of color. It really assembled well. Thanks for sharing.

[@maryfiltz800]

This is sharp - i always like the builds that are a little different.

[@r.a.monigold9789]

Cssssertainly sssssseems Ssssstunning and ssssssnakey! Thanks and Merry Christmas ! !

[@hpiguy]

Same to you!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Love the show rods!!! 👍👍

[@charlesmcclure5994]

It came out great Chris, I would love to build these show rods again 👍👍

[@larryhenry719]

Looks Awesome I would probably paint on the snake tounge up and over the hood instead of sticking out of grill but yours still looks Awesome 👍

[@michaelstergiou9951]

I love to say this , for such a simple build like you said. That was an extremely sick job, one of my favorites.

[@tomlappin9657]

Love those kits / great build

[@danielkemp4801]

Like it, the inline 6 is a nice touch. Great work and a great video. Keep up the great work!!!

[@craigwellsjr3968]

You knocked it out of the park again, Chris. That is a cool 😎 kit. I may have to get one.

[@cushingpushing]

I am glad you decided to build this kit. I just received my Sidewinder kit today in the mail. You did a great job, it looks awesome. I am going to build mine over the Christmas break.

[@richardslaski6873]

I’m just getting started with modeling and I’m so glad I came across your page, amazing work

[@lylebriggs923]

I like the idea that the crome isn't crome that makes for a nice chance of pace

[@ricks69z28]

Totally a different and cool looking build, gotta love Tom Daniel’s kits. Rick 😎✌️

[@andreperrault5393]

Man, I like your modeling, attitude, and skills. You’re a car guy and I’m a military guy, but because I see your videos and the level of fit in car models, I want to do a few. Thanks. I never could get all 4 wheels and tires even. Not a problem for a 3 wheel airplane.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks! I do military and aircraft on here, but not nearly as many as I'd like to. Enjoy!

[@nickc-dw5tj]

Nice kit back in the day, great build

[@Cool_Retro]

I built a lot of Tom Daniel Monogram kits back in the day. I don't remember this one. I enjoyed the video.

[@khart1961]

This kit was originally known as the Rattler. It came out in 1975 and was actually created by Monogram etooling an earlier Tom Daniel kit known as the Horn Toad.

[@fredyates3061]

Love Tom Daniels!

[@Merylstreep1949]

Yea, the Red Baron also had a Pontiac 6 cylinder, taken from the 64 Tempest Great kit subjects those Tom Daniel kits...still have a bunch from over the years, the S'cool bus still being my favourite ❤

[@dalepetrush4121]

What clever idea with tire lettering. ! Will be doing this kit next. Will try it. Thanks o ya nice build.

[@garyparker2969]

REALLY ENJOYED Seeing YOUR VERSION Of This Kit Chris 🏆🏆🏆🏆 I'll Be Getting at Least 1 JUST For Parts To Kit-Bash In The Future. Merry Christmas To You and ALL Your's Brother. GBA 🤗 Gary.

[@Stovalls]

At first I thought that was a slant six Chrysler but I believe it is a depiction of a BMW in line six that resembles the slant six. Very popular in Australia.

[@davidwoodham1307]

Hi there Chris great looking model mate you did a great job mate I in or video mate I be making models for 40years so keep up with the great work mate so be safe a fan from down under Australia 🇦🇺 mate

[@richardlee1092]

Nice job Chris! Always loved the Tom Daniel kits. Growing up I always didn’t have access to spray painting my models. These kits came molded in appropriate colors so I just detail painted and enjoyed assembly. I would polish the plastic on the body to an acceptable gloss. They were fun and built up into a nice unique model. Thanks Chris!!!!

[@neilhaas]

Many people are not fans of snakes that much. Its a nice hot 🎉

[@jimanderson4271]

Excellent job on this one as usual, Tom Daniel designed some cool stuff and you did this one justice 👍

[@davidhinkson8856]

I'm always amazed at the creativity of Tom Daniel and Ed Roth in creating these one off machines. This one is very different and it seems to go together quite easily. The flash kinda goes with the territory as I'm presuming this is the first time this model has been available in years, but it's part of the learning curve in this hobby and not as bad as i've seen on other kits. And I like the inline 6 - it's a nice change from the V8s all the time.

[@lylebriggs923]

I think this would make a great slump breaker that we all get into once in a while I'm going to think about ordering one after the holidays I'm sure I'll end up getting one an thank you for the awesome build as always Cris an WISHING you a great Christmas an get well soon that dang cold I had it also

[@marksimkiw-gd3ed]

Great build,and the red sprue was different

[@ruanecrummett9261]

Cool build

[@DavidPayne-j5z]

Really nice

[@ronroberts2453]

Excellence build and review Chris, I really like your color and decal choices! Mine is on order and I'm looking forward to building this show rod!!

[@openexhaustmodels5139]

Awesome mate👍

[@southpaw5483]

Thank you Chris. Do you ever put the Gloss Finish over the tires?

[@gregdepaulo6302]

Love the build, may have to tell Santa about this, it well could be in my stocking on Christmas morning !...lol Having trouble finding Ceramcoat paint, I wonder would any White Acrylic Paint work for the tires ? Thanks Chris

[@hpiguy]

Yes, just about any water based craft paint that isn't too thin will work.

[@packrcch]

it looks like a cross between the surf woody and the munster coach.

[@kevinstroh117]

Chris have you ever wired an engine on a 1/25 scale?

[@Merylstreep1949]

According to Scalemates, this was originally the Rattler in the 1970s Same design but molded in a glorious avocado lime green with chrome mags Tires are even the same❤

[@danielpaulsness6951]

Nice 😅

[@johnnybaughman7593]

Hey ... Pontiac didn't make a slant 6... that's a Chrysler motor...lol

[@hpiguy]

It's called a Pontiac engine in the product description on their website. You would have to discuss that with them.

[@chassegallerie2910]

Not the type of subject I'd build. That said, I love the red/rose chrome and it seems to be a nice kit too. Just not my cup of tea.

[@paull789]

Rosie red good girl cartoon she talk

[@davidparker2259]

An utterly ugly and horrible kit…but I’ve got to have one!! Or two. I cut my teeth on Tom Daniel kits, and I’m glad of the possibility of them all coming back. I’m hoping they repop all of the Ground Shaker Snappers, too. Nice build, Chris.

[@urbanurchin5930]

This is a re-issue of the Rattler kit by Monogram
