Started this as a new hobby. Your channel rocks ! Ive been building choppers and racecars since i was about 14 yrs old. This is alot of fun. I wanted to share that i grbbed my plexiglass cutter to score the body lines to cut them out and it worked phenomenal! Worth a try if you haven't yet. Thanks again man
Very cool sir, thank you for sharing, I will be using your way of hinges on my "Inner Demon" LOGO car when I build it on my channel, keep up the great work sir.
Just finished getting my 66 GTO trunk to open - works great! The only thing I did different was the use of shrink tubing instead of wire insulation. Thanks for the 'how to'!
Man! Love your videos. I have a real 67 4 door hard top and my first attempt at building didn’t go well. Your videos are so helpful. Getting ready for my next attempt at building the model and going to go really in depth thanks to these types of videos. Want a model of my car!
I say do the doors too ,finish the fender flairs , scratch build a gasser frame, put a big block in it ,scratch build interior and roll cage, but make it a how to series 👌😉
I do a lot of hinges myself... Just a quick tip... some doors on real cars when opened will be on the inside of the inner fender and some doors when opened will be on the outside of the fender. You can replicate this depending on where you place the pivot point of the hinge. If you place the pivot point on the inside of the door, going into the fender then your door when opened will be on the inside of the inner fender... When you place the pivot point on the inside inner fender going through the door, when opened your door will be on the outside of the fender! Hope this helps some of you!
i love the round 2 68 roadrunner kit but i need the chrome thanks trim between the tail lights on the deck lid cant find thanks for sharing scooter d🤣😂🥰🤪
Pretty much how I do it except for using the rubber insulation for the tube. What a great idea, love how it remains open without a prop rod. I will definitely be using that on my next factory stock build!
So after watching this video I decided to open up the doors and trunk on my 57 chevy gasser build, the model is a California wheels Revell it's gonna work out great cuase the interior is a glue together interior 👍
I love it. I'm going to use this in a build soon to open up the hood. I was going to use styrene tubing but I'll be getting heater hose now. I am still planning to use a straightened paperclip for the hinge though if it fits into the heater hose. Any concerns with that?
great tips I will have to try this on one of my next builds. this way looks a lot better then other how to where they use the big tubing where it is not to scale. does the ca glue hold up over time i have a hard time getting ca glue to hold on the wire insulation? have a great one and keep up the great content.
What about the door sill plates ?? I've been searching for a long time for a video or a chat or a magazine article or anything about making scale sill plates....😢
You should do a video on opening up the rear wheel openings of the 68 Roadrunner and 69 GTX, as well as the Revell 70 Cuda. They are all incorrect and the manufacturers won't do anything about.
what if you left the hinge material a little longer so you could glue or solder a retainer on,and used the rad hose and put it inside a slightly bigger diameter tube and glued that down instead of gluing the rad hose directly to the body.

Cause it is fun .ive done a few this way learned this in your group. Thank you.
Very nice tutorial. I’m sure a lot of modelers will appreciate this video, myself included. Thanks for sharing.
Keep those groceries safe! Thanks for the tip!
Vary cool like the heater hose idea for sure thank you for sharing
You can also use sowing tread for sawing through the plastic, it works well.
This is the best way I've seen for making hinges. That's why I like these videos.....can always learn something. Thanks
Hi Luca,, yeah good tip I will give that a shot next time I need hinges thanks for the show,,, Glen
Cool, nice tutorial!!!! 👍👍👍
Gotta' love Pro Tech..... 🙂
Charlie is on it!
Love how you added the heaterhose. Great idea! I know I will use it in the future. Always learn something on your channel. Keep up the good work.
Thank you
very nice and clear to understand, thank you
That's a lot better than what I've been doing!!!!
Nice technique, Thanks for sharing!
Very cool sir, thank you for sharing, I will be using your way of hinges on my "Inner Demon" LOGO car when I build it on my channel, keep up the great work sir.
Nice tutorial. Now I have to try this.
Excellent technique. Thanks for sharing.
Great idea, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the video, dude, it was very inspiring! Off to watch your vid on how to remove the boot(!) lid now. 🤘
Great video and awesome tip, thank you!

Really helpful stuff Luka - thanks for sharing your time.
That’s an interesting way to do it, thanks for sharing
Great video very helpful.
Great tutorial 👌!
very nicely done
Excellent tutorial for a quick and very easy way to hinge panels! Sure going to use it in the future!
Great video. And I look forward to watching your other videos. I just found you while trying to figure out hinges
Awesome! Thank you!
This is amazing I’m gonna so try this! Love watching your videos on how to’s
Just finished getting my 66 GTO trunk to open - works great! The only thing I did different was the use of shrink tubing instead of wire insulation. Thanks for the 'how to'!
Great tutorial. Will be trying this method in the future. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the video, l always wondered 🤔, how to do,this, l will watch, the how-to cut,doors,hoods,and or trunk lids, out, when,l get a chance.
Fantastic tip, I plan on using it on my model cars.
Man! Love your videos. I have a real 67 4 door hard top and my first attempt at building didn’t go well. Your videos are so helpful. Getting ready for my next attempt at building the model and going to go really in depth thanks to these types of videos. Want a model of my car!
Thanks for the awesome tip, I will have to try this sometime!
That was just so cool, Luka C.......thanks......same for the hood, really......
Wow amazing!
Great video! Best looking hinges I have seen. Will definitely be using this technique!
Awesome, thanks for the tip.
I'm building the Jolly Green Gasser that has an opening trunk and i didn't like the hinges, but i think this will work much better. Thank you!
Well done Sir I appreciate you for the help 👍
Very cool video!! Thanks for showing us that!!! I always wondered how that was done.
I say do the doors too ,finish the fender flairs , scratch build a gasser frame, put a big block in it ,scratch build interior and roll cage, but make it a how to series 👌😉
Interesting video Luka, always wondered about the hinges when opening a part and you explain it well. Thanks for the share
Eye ball engineering works for me! Thanks for the lesson!😉👍👍
Awesome tutorial 😁✌
Thank you for sharing cool tip
Luka you are amazing dude
Thank you.
I do a lot of hinges myself... Just a quick tip... some doors on real cars when opened will be on the inside of the inner fender and some doors when opened will be on the outside of the fender.

nice.. its a good tip.. :)
i love the round 2 68 roadrunner kit but i need the chrome thanks trim between the tail lights on the deck lid cant find thanks for sharing scooter d🤣😂🥰🤪
Cool idea sir!
I always wondered how the trunk stayed open with the hinges. Now I know! Great how to with in-depth detail
one nice byproduct of putting styrene strips around the opening is that hood or deck lid doesn't " fall-in" ( it stays level with the fenders)
Is working with brass easier?, I'm bigtime cheapskate and want to try a small paperclip so I don't spend money- what's your take Obi-Wan?
I have to give your method a try, Thanks
Thank you for the video
Great vid bro!! Enjoyed that very much!
Thanks Mark
Hhhmmm Pretty Slick Hinges There Buddy 🤗🤗 , I'll Have To Try That On My Next Project. Have a Blessed Week Ahead, 👍🤗 Gary.
Great tutorial
Nice! Thanks for sharing LC! I like this and the build videos the best. Happy days and model day! May the 4th be with you! 😎
And also with you.
Using wire insulation like this is genius. Well played.
Thank you
Great tip!!!
Excellent! Thanks for the how to.
Awesome! Cheers!👍🏻
AWESOME , great ideA...lol MOPAR 4 EVER.
Hahaha I love hearing your kid in the background xD I build my kits with my kiddo next to me as well and he likes to criticize more than help haha.
Awesome tip
Awesome how to Luka. Ron
Pretty much how I do it except for using the rubber insulation for the tube. What a great idea, love how it remains open without a prop rod. I will definitely be using that on my next factory stock build!
So after watching this video I decided to open up the doors and trunk on my 57 chevy gasser build, the model is a California wheels Revell it's gonna work out great cuase the interior is a glue together interior 👍
I have a '58 Impala in my "scrap heap" that is just the model I would like to try this on!
I love it. I'm going to use this in a build soon to open up the hood. I was going to use styrene tubing but I'll be getting heater hose now. I am still planning to use a straightened paperclip for the hinge though if it fits into the heater hose. Any concerns with that?
As long as the paperclip is that .032 size. You shouldn't have an issue. I just like the brass because it a softer metal and easier to tweak.
I might try this on my next build. Cool added detail. Hey Luka, are you a corvette fan?
…cuz they’re fun! 👍
😁
I'm going to try that on the van
Great tip! I do have a question, would you paint the body first or paint it after you make the hinges or does it even matter? Thank you!
After
great tips I will have to try this on one of my next builds. this way looks a lot better then other how to where they use the big tubing where it is not to scale. does the ca glue hold up over time i have a hard time getting ca glue to hold on the wire insulation? have a great one and keep up the great content.
Really interesting. You've been using the technique for a good long time, how well does the heater hose and C.A. glue hold up ?
Pretty good. I've got models I did this with that are 30 years old and still holding up. Look up my rebuild of my old Grumpys toy 70 Camaro.
What about the door sill plates ?? I've been searching for a long time for a video or a chat or a magazine article or anything about making scale sill plates....😢
lets see how you do the doors on that model and wind shield post ?
How would you do that for the hood??
Same way
You should do a video on opening up the rear wheel openings of the 68 Roadrunner and 69 GTX, as well as the Revell 70 Cuda. They are all incorrect and the manufacturers won't do anything about.
what if you left the hinge material a little longer so you could glue or solder a retainer on,and used the rad hose and put it inside a slightly bigger diameter tube and glued that down instead of gluing the rad hose directly to the body.
Just an update on my missing part I ordered for my 67 Chevelle from Round 2 . It's been since March 5th and I'm still waiting lmao.
Yep. I'm not expecting my parts at all. They sure aren't Salvinos JR Models, that's for sure.
How do I do the doors
Very much the same way.
I used Woodglut instructions for this and I already did it :)
Lots of farting....farming....
Didn't pro-tech go out of business?
I agree with Mr the cat,... no
