    Hi, Dr.D. Hope all is well. Once again, whatta terrific build. Wow! The work on the front axle alone is major surgery. Your techniques and dedication to this hobby are most impressive. The finished model looks terrific. The interior, paint job, detailing, decals, all the "major surgeries, everything prime rib, triple A job. Your workbench must be super clean and organized, not like mine, hehehe... Thanks for sharing your techniques with us. All my best to all. Your friend, Lou (kadre@msn.com)

      Hi Lou. Like any kit it can be easy or hard depending on the amount of work you're willing to do. This one is a great subject and warrants a little extra to make it right. Thanks Again! -Doug

    Nice job "Doug". Really like the color and the amount of decals were just right. I've never understood why AMT would have let the oil pan situation pass with as many model car enthusiasts as there was back in the 70's. Many thousands of Vietnam vets picked up these hobbies as a sort of nerve tonic.

    Doug-the line you refer to between the headrest and bucket seat back is correct. Fed safety regs required "head restraints" mandated in '69 or '70, and they began to appear in '68, along with side marker lights. They were adjustable for "driver height", so they moved up and down to be positioned "at the base of the skull". We never did that. Freeway cruising was full up, local cruising was full down and hunched over the wheel! It wasn't until the mid- to late-'70's that high back buckets (in effect, integrated "head restraints") started to appear. Not to be confused with "highback" buckets from the turn of the decade, which was probably to guage reaction to what was to come. I, too have been frustrated by a re-tooled kit that overlooked the "axle thru engine" mess, cool fix! Great build, as usual!

    I have built this model kit I put the kit together and I found out that if you wait till the end of the build to put the two front fenders on you can set both fenders on, use the front grill/bumper on and then use masking tape to hold the fenders in place,no need to take any of the hood off with scraping or trimming.

    I just started this kit. I think this utube video got me interested AND because they still make this exact kit,I didnt feel like I was sacrificing a kit from my big collection thats out of print,and worth a few bucks. ANYWAY,when I got this kit I worked at a Hobbyshop and forgot that I bought Fred Cady's Grumpy's Toy
    Decals. They have yellowed in 30+ years but they say to set them in a window where the Sun will bleach them back to white. Hope it works
    🤞. Anyway,THANKS for the video Doug ? Its giving me a heads up on the issues you encountered while building it . 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

    • @RightOnReplicas
      @RightOnReplicas  4 года назад

      HH, Put the decals in a baggie so they don't get moist from condensation. Place them in a window that get s the most direct sun with the decals facing the sun. They should lighten up within a week of two. If you clear coat them they won't yellow again! -Doug

    Getting back into modeling after a 40 plus year break. This was my first build. I wish I thought to search for videos like this BEFORE building it. Oh well. I'll buy another one and do it over. You touched on everything that had me scratching my bald head. Glove compartment and ash tray detail was pretty much non existent. Manifold nightmare. Warped side windows. Front Fender gaps and chrome that comes off with modeling tape. Not impressed with the kit but I don't like being beat. Re-do. Thanks for the tips.

    The freaking hole in the oil pan doesn't even line up with the axle rod holes on the chassis. The hole in the oil pan is way too far back for the rod to go through it. What the?!! That's annoying. I'm not sure what to even do. There has to be a quicker easier way than using the evergreen tubing.

      Bad, As you saw in my video I didn't try to run the axle through the oil pan. In fact, I filled it to finish of the engine more realistically. I setup a tube that was in alignment with both sides by drilling a hole through the frame bosses and gluing the tube there. I then cut out the tube just inside the fenders and capped the axle shafts so the engine would have room and the axles would remain fixed and still rotate. If you don't mind that they a motionless, you can simply glue a stud to the frame bosses on the outside and mount the inner wheels on them keeping side-to-side symmetry in mind. Hope that helps! -Doug

    • @RightOnReplicas
      @RightOnReplicas  9 месяцев назад

      MK, Thanks for your inquiry. We don't consider Out-of-the-Box (OOB) builds boring. At RoR we mostly stick to construction that the average builder can do. That's because these are KIT reviews. That requires that the parts and decals in the kit be used to see if any issues need to be addressed. Occasionally, we do some modifications just as the one in this review where we filled the hole in the oil pan to replace the axle that runs through the engine. You'll need to do that to lower the body. We've also done some customization like Dom’s F&F6 “Superbird” ruclips.net/video/s2BazxhOD6k/видео.html but there doesn't seem to be much more interest in them than Out-of-the-Box builds. Again, thanks for your inquiry and if you want to become a "kit basher" for RoR send us an email.
