Thanks for showing your build I don't know why there is more videos of this build out there on yt This is a kit many of us have been waiting decades for
I’m so glad you finally finished this video & project!! I know you but a lot of time & effort into making it! I hope people show you the appreciation you deserve!
Very nice build Clay, watching the first video helped me alot building my Burt Myers modifed thank you very much, and i enjoyed speaking with you at Acme
Super clean build!! Nice slick paint.. You have a good narrative voice. Hope to see you back at it.. but I can’t get one built in a year so know how time is.
You do nice, clean, neat work man. And letting glue dry, during assembly is crucial. I rush my builds too much. I'll try letting glued up parts and assemblies dry completely during my builds from now on. Keep up the good work, and keep doing these modified builds.
What an awesome tutorial. Thank you so much for sharing this, so many helpful tips I will use when I build mine. Well worth the wait. One question. With all the vague alignment fits for the chassis, suspension and wheel assemblies, how were you able to insure the four wheels were on a flat plane ? I was sure with all those fit tolerances one wheel would be floating in the air, well at least on my assembled model I fear that. Great build and again thanks for sharing.
A beautiful build, Clay. Have you ever heard of…gimme a minute here, ummmm, almost had it, but now I’m drawing a blank. It’s in my workshop, which would mean going ALL the way downstairs, and I’m not going to do that just now. But I eventually will, and once I know what the hell I’m talking about, I’ll leave you another message. Cool?
I'm starting to use the Tamiya clear paints, to replicate the anodized parts on my modified builds. With a base coat of Tamiya Silver Leaf spray, you can brush the clear yellow paint over the silver base coat to replicate an anodized gold radius rod, often found on a modified front and rear suspension. The clear red and blue also can replicate anodized parts, like oil line fittings.
Do you use lacquer paint for the durability and ability to polish? What clear do you use on the body panels? What do you use to polish the body panels?
I use lacquer for speed. It dries so fast you can paint and assemble without a long wait time. The clear is Omni 2 part clear. On one of my Joey Logano videos I show my method for polishing clear.
Thanks for the video Clay, getting ready to start this kit. very helpful, Did you clear the chassis? and what's the purpose of using the thinner with the clear yellow?
I didn't clear over the orange. That is the Tamiya Pure Orange from their lacquer bottle range. It dries pretty smooth and shiny. My clear colors tend to thicken up as they get older, so I thin them to make them brush more evenly.
Clay, That was an amazing series, thank you for posting. I have an uneducated question, is "zap-a-gap" glue a CA glue? I noticed that you also mentioned super glue so I'm assuming it's not. The holding power of the zap-a-gap after a short period of time is pretty amazing. Thank you again for posting.
WOW!! REALLY nice work!! Thanks for sharing!! wowowowow!! I love this kit (as I pretty much grew up watching these race every weekend of my life... lol), but one thing that drives me nuts, is the engine. That thing is a disaster! It's as if somebody went into ChatGPT and said: "make me an engine that's a cartoon mashup of an old sbc, an LS, a small block ford, and whatever else you feel like"; and they went with that! lol BTW... not a dig at YOU one bit! Just want that to be 100% clear!! It's just that I never really could get why at least 75% of ALL model cars have the most inaccurate engines you could ever imagine.. you'd think they'd want that part to look correct! I have two of these, yet to build... but I'm thinking of putting some 80's-90's Revell/Monogram NASCAR kit, small block Chevys in them (with better valve covers, scatter shields, and headers to fit the modified). But.... I think those engines at least "look right"! edit: example - with the configuration of the exhaust ports, and the headers that are on the kit's engine, it should also have an intake manifold with siamese intake runners (like a sbc "victor jr")... yet, they put an evenly spaced runner intake manifold on it. I dunno... just glaring obvious stuff like that kills the "immersion" for me, and I hate that I have to fix it all of the time on my kits.
Notice fellow model builder maniacs? Clay never has over spray on his fingers? You ever do that? And go out, with a red, or black thumbnail? Good sign of a fellow hobbiest eh? Lol! Keep on building!
I notice you don't scrap away any paint, before applying glue during assembly? I've always done that. I know your under time constraints with your online videos, so is scraping away paint from glue areas really necessary?
Beautiful build!!!!!!!
Thank you buddy!
@@ClayKemp Anytime my friend
A very informative video & build of these modified JRS kits. I always enjoy seeing how a master modeler goes about constructing a kit.
Glad you enjoyed it
Well Done Clay!!
Thanks for showing your build
I don't know why there is more videos of this build out there on yt
This is a kit many of us have been waiting decades for
Glad I could help, they are a bit tricky at first, but look so cool when finished!
Its been awhile boss man, glad your back doing videos. I learn alot from you
As always Clay, looks so awesome!!!!
So Awesome!!! Can’t wait now to build mine.
Good luck with it!
I’m so glad you finally finished this video & project!! I know you but a lot of time & effort into making it! I hope people show you the appreciation you deserve!
Swell Job there Mr. Kemp! This is pretty stunning even before any real detailing other than the paint, imagine after! WoW!!
Very Nice SIR Great Video
Boy oh boy this is going to be a handy sequence when I get around to building mine. Thanks a ton Clay!
Hey Kyle, thanks for watching!
@@ClayKemp you’re welcome!
Sick!!!! That’s a very cool scheme…
Great video... I have built 2 of these so far and have 9 more in the stash to go...😁
Very nice build Clay, watching the first video helped me alot building my Burt Myers modifed thank you very much, and i enjoyed speaking with you at Acme
Thanks Chris...glad it helped!
Man that came out awesome Clay. I was just putting decals on mine when a bench accident destroyed it. Ron
Sorry to hear that Ron....I'm sure the next one will go a lot better for you.
Excellent build process.👍
Another surgical clean build! Very nice!
Thanks for watching Rick.
Super clean build!! Nice slick paint.. You have a good narrative voice. Hope to see you back at it.. but I can’t get one built in a year so know how time is.
New sub, not my type of build, but informative and enjoyable to watch 👍
Thank you, I appreciate you checking it out!
Excellent work. From the paint to the assembly everything is perfect. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you liked it.
Great video! The car looks awesome!! I learned a few cool tricks too! Thanks!!
Glad you liked it Steven!
Thanks for the guide and help well needed and a very nice build
Looks absolutely awesome man!
Great video Clay. Fantastically beautiful build, love it! Blessings to you and the family 😁👍👍
Thank you Scott!
Great looking build. Your work is precise and accurate.
Thanks Robert....thanks for watching.
Beautiful work.
Very nice. I've built about 15 of these kits. Learned alot. I love 'em
This is a very challenging kit, I’m glad for this tutorial. Yours came out excellent 👍
They are definitely tricky at first. But after you build a few it gets a lot easier. Thanks for watching.
This is amazing! Thank you for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it!

Outstanding work Clay! I have learned so much from your videos!
Glad to hear it!
What silver did you use to spray the engine and seat..?
That is Tamiya "Sparkling Silver" lacquer.
Your work is outstanding, Clay
Thanks Shawn. Glad you liked it!
This came out killer! I have the flemings kit I need to get started. It's nice to see this kit being put together before I start mine.

Again a superbe job,ty so much for your videos,please don’t stop
Thank you, I appreciate the support!
Sweet build!

Same thing really....I use green zapagap for almost everything I build.
@@ClayKemp Thank you for your reply Clay.
Amazing!

nice .. i cant wait to do my mod with the 7ny decals on it
Clay, did you have issues with oil pump belt hitting lower cross member?? I have trouble with getting engine low enough up front. Thank you sir
A little...once the the belt was glued on, you can sand the face down slightly to give it a bit more room.
Love it bud!
Your voice is like a combination of Fergie and Jesus
LOl Thank ya buddy!
What is the difference between the bubble hood and square hood
I’m building Matt hirschman’s kit and u wanna know what paint you use cause my glue melts the paint
Notice fellow model builder maniacs? Clay never has over spray on his fingers? You ever do that? And go out, with a red, or black thumbnail? Good sign of a fellow hobbiest eh? Lol! Keep on building!

Beautiful kits but weird plastic
