In the 1950's Mom, Dad, little brother and me all lived in shacks, tents and old cars. Then my "granny" came to town and bought us a brand new house, filled it with new furniture and appliances. We all got new clothes too and I got real shoes. Plus I got to go to school. When this TV show came on I loved it - it was OUR story, but funny. Thanks for this build and I thank my Granny for giving my family a life. BTW, I'm 77 now...
What a sweet, joyous story of your life! Thank you! My existence is so terribly grim (that is a long story!), and you just brought me some joy! I might read this again just to delight in your experience.
Watched and still do the Beverly Hillbillies for 6 decades since I was a pre-teen! Never knew the old junk jalopie is an Oldsmobile. Can't believe you have a model of it.
Great job! A favorite show from my childhood! Born 1960, l watched The Beverly Hillbillies, My Favorite Martian, The Wonderful World of Disney, Batman, The Green Hornet, just to name a few. Great time to be a kid!
the close up of the body..... LOOKS like metal and NOT plastic love it!!! and ur weathering?? amazing!! wonder how ur model would look with the custom engine and wheels? weathered engine and tires or NOT weathered?? hmmmm thats she fun of models we can do it OUR way :)
Una serie divertida, la silla de la abuela jajaja. Un Oltsmobile de 1921 me imagino que era lo más parecido a una carreta de caballos ya que no llevaban amortiguadores, solo muelles, se sentía el rigor del camino 😲😲😕😖😁😁😁 hermosa replica, felicitaciones
This model brings back Memories for Me, I did the original Beverly Hillbillies truck back in the late 60's or early 70's and I also bought two more several years ago but haven't not done anything with them yet but I will someday, I am planning on doing both versions.
Just stumbled across your channel cause I was building a 51 Fleetline like your other video and then caught this one. What skill you got. Much respect. Detail is impeccable. Do some more movie or tv cars???
this is fantastic! I build, and have a collection of just 1/25 scale movie and TV cars. Always wanted this but did not know it exsisted. Right now I am building Snowman's truck (from smokey and the bandit) But just got this kit on Amazon, and will be next! Awesome job! You deserve a break in the Ceement pond! haha
I hate to be 'that guy' but I watched this show all the time when I was younger. The episode that hot rod appears in, Jethro took the truck to a garage and over the course of the episode had it modified until it was finally all hot rod and Granny Hated it. So technically it was Jethro's hot rod. Granny went to the garage and made the men there put her truck back together and then her and Jethro had a race, Granny used her moonshine as fuel and blew Jethro's doors off.
I'm amazed at how two completely different kits can come out of the same box. Haven't seen you weather one of these older cars for a while so I really enjoyed this. Be interesting now to see how the custom car looks when completed and I like the two separate instruction sheets for the two different versions.
Sir, this is, for me, at least, the most educational, valuable vid that you have ever posted. I'm currently working on a diorama of a spooky, run down old cityscape, that features a lot of abandoned industrial structures. I had a ball creating everything out of greeblies and such (you'd never BELIEVE how much cool stuff there is inside of an old Sonicare electric toothbrush :-D) but I freely admit that painting is the weakest of my skills. Now that I'm in the final quarter of the game, so to speak, I've been stalling. What you've presented here is going to help me immeasurably. I can't thank you enough.
In one episode of the BH, Jethro came rolling in front of the mansion with the front end of the truck all hot rodded up. Uncle Jed made him take it back.
Turned out great, nice work! I built one during its last reissue, and like you did it only with what came in the box. I keep thinking about revisiting it to add more stuff one of these days.
The one I have is on the to do list but now that I have seen the kit going together an an finished it's getting moved to the top of the list I have started on the 55 Nomad already so it's going to go to the bench next an as always thanks for the time you put into are videos Cris I appreciate them 👍👍
It's a fun kit with only one issue for me. The parts aren't numbered on the trees, so you have to go by the diagrams. I'm still not sure about step 7 on the front suspension, but I think it's chrome.
I want to see the "transition" version where Jethro's classmates showed him a hotrod and horsepower. Then he went home and put a drive train on granny's olds, neglecting any front steering, brakes or tires. Haha... all go, no show.
David R Lentz, Dublin, Ohio USA I would build this kit a third way: as a stock, showroom new, 1921 Oldsmobile. I do not know if it is a pickup truck, or a conventional passenger car of some kind (four-door sedan?). Ideally, several, in different body colours. These I would mix in with the various versions of AMT's Ford Model T kits available (I think I have counted four stock manifestations), and the 1926 Mack trucks, placing them all in a Roaring ‘20s streetscape diorama in the late 1920s a couple years prior to the Wall Street crash of October 1929.

Chris, I love your approach to model building.
Don’t fuss, don’t obsess, have fun, and it looks spectacular.
Watched and still do the Beverly Hillbillies for 6 decades since I was a pre-teen! Never knew the old junk jalopie is an Oldsmobile. Can't believe you have a model of it.
Nice job.
Great build - I can just see Granny sitting up there.
Awesome job! I had to order one immediately! I seem to remember Granny sitting in a rocking chair on the back???
Ah, yes. Granny's rocker was behind the bench way up high, perhaps on top of luggage!
That would be my grandfather's Oldsmobile.
Very Nice Job SIR Great Video
Watched the show all the time when I was younger loved it . Nicely built detailing is awesome great job Chris.
Great job!
A favorite show from my childhood! Born 1960, l watched The Beverly Hillbillies, My Favorite Martian, The Wonderful World of Disney, Batman, The Green Hornet, just to name a few. Great time to be a kid!
Wow there is a lot of parts for kit bashing in this kit 😊
the close up of the body..... LOOKS like metal and NOT plastic love it!!! and ur weathering?? amazing!! wonder how ur model would look with the custom engine and wheels? weathered engine and tires or NOT weathered?? hmmmm thats she fun of models we can do it OUR way :)
I just got that kit…it will take me more than two days… learned a great deal from this presentation.

Chris, that is an amazing job! Love your weathering technique. Looks great! Thanks for the review, this is a must have. 😎👍
Looks great Chris.
Great Job You Put The FUN Back in Modeling do it your way 👍
Very cool! I remember Beverly Hillbillies as a kid! Good Ol' Jim Varney!
Super fun kit to build!!!! 🤜🤛
Great build mate👍😊
I was building mine over a year ago. Thanks to the video I might just finish it.
Awesome kit . Great opening and build , WOW .
The Finish is amazing.
SOOO KOOOOOLLLLLL .

Professional 👍
outstanding !
it’s great to see a model of that car.
it’s just as famous as the munstermobile.
Great job Chris looks just like the TV car/truck.
Awesome job!!!
Awesome mate👍
I like vehicles from the "brass" era!
I would get two of these kits too, so i can build one of each version!
Just stumbled across your channel cause I was building a 51 Fleetline like your other video and then caught this one. What skill you got. Much respect. Detail is impeccable. Do some more movie or tv cars???
One of my favourite builds you have done. Weathering is fun too 👍.

Super cool. I didn't know about this version in the kit. I may have to grab it.
I hate to be 'that guy' but I watched this show all the time when I was younger.

Nothing wrong with some backstory, it's appreciated! Thanks!
Haven't built a hot rod based model in a long while, this is looking like the one.

Another vary awesome job Cris I watch the Beverly Hillbillies all the time on METV
Outstanding build ,fantastic process fantastic finish
Completely enjoyed this vid. Well done.

Love it Chris! Another home run. Well done.
Classic old cars turn out awesome everything doesn't need glossy paint 😊 thanks Chris
On the t v show I always thought the barrels were the crooked headlights
Outstanding model you totally nailed it!
Wow Chris! I've been watching your channel for years and really enjoy when you do beat-up vehicles, but I think this one may be one of the best!
Another cool kit, Chris, this would have been a good candidate for painting a couple of wheels a different color! I like changing it up!! Great video!
As someone who likes to build and weather Armor Kits. This is one looks like a lot of fun, and nice change.
This truck would go good with a ww1 tank 😊
Work of art! So impressed!
In one episode of the BH, Jethro came rolling in front of the mansion with the front end of the truck all hot rodded up. Uncle Jed made him take it back.
Great work! best wishes from Germany!.......Michael
Turned out great, nice work! I built one during its last reissue, and like you did it only with what came in the box. I keep thinking about revisiting it to add more stuff one of these days.
That turned out great. I have the old version of this kit on the shelf waiting to be built. Now im inspired!
A beautiful build!
You always do a great job 👍🏿
Great video. Thx
Chris, another amazing build and video. The way you weathered the kit is awesome. Again excellent work, great video and channel.
Beautiful job Chris. Your weathering techniques are something for me to strive for. Again, Well done.
The one I have is on the to do list but now that I have seen the kit going together an an finished it's getting moved to the top of the list I have started on the 55 Nomad already so it's going to go to the bench next an as always thanks for the time you put into are videos Cris I appreciate them 👍👍
Looks great !
Nice 😅
Lovely finishes! Great stuff.
Looks great Chris you did a great job as usual 👍👍
Oldsmobile made trucks, REO big rigs Randsom Eli Olds is what REO stands for
That’s Rheumatism medicine, what’s in Granny’s jugs. Haha!
Just picked up this kit, gonna build a modified version of the the family car. It gonna be a Jethro clampett custom.
Hi Chris, really enjoy your vids, just wondering if you could put a list of paints used at end or beginning, cheers mate from U.K
It's a fun kit with only one issue for me. The parts aren't numbered on the trees, so you have to go by the diagrams. I'm still not sure about step 7 on the front suspension, but I think it's chrome.
All my grandparents were born in the 19th century a 21 Oldsmobile would have been familiar to them.
I want to see the "transition" version where Jethro's classmates showed him a hotrod and horsepower. Then he went home and put a drive train on granny's olds, neglecting any front steering, brakes or tires. Haha... all go, no show.
How much you selling that for? Awesome job!!!!

Have you ever combined two different models like putting the hot rod motor in the family car
リメイク版のモントラver.もキボンヌｗ
Did you first paint the bed in camo sand, and then reprime it in black?
Well doggies
Do you know where I can find a set of 1:25 decals for the 59 Cadilac Ecto 1 from Ghost Busters
Can I ask what kind of glue do you use.
Somebody asks this question on almost EVERY video......does anybody ever pay attention ??
@@urbanurchin5930 dollar tree glue that's where I work
Plastruct Bondene is my preferred plastic to plastic glue. Modelroundup.com carries it.
What glue does he use
Just using regular Super glue
I made the mistake of using polyurethane as a clear coat.
What?
Excellence weathering and aging techniques Chris! Extremely well done!!
