Atlantis Tom Daniel Son of Troublemaker Funny Car 1/24 M2204 2204
Tom Daniel has gone racing again and added a fresh new style into the Funny Car ranks. Chevy fans will love it because Tom has stuffed a big injected Chevy 'Rat' motor behind the driver in an outrageously wild looking, chopped, narrowed and stretched El Camino Funny Car body.
The beautifully molded midnight blue body looks like speed itself... low in front, with a chopped cab, flowing back into the slotted, flushed rear deck, dual rear spoilers and capped by a twin, rear chute pack.
Pivoting forward, the El Camino body reveals the intricate innards of this unique rear engine concept. A strong four bar frame and integrated roll cage house the big injected 454 cu. in. Chevy 'Rat' motor, upswept 'zoomie' exhaust headers, chrome valve covers, intake manifold and injector stacks. The detailed driver's compartment has a realistically done seat, harness, steering assembly and fire bottles.
Shod with big racing slicks on chrome mags, Son of Troublemaker looks like it really means business. Long, low and mean, this Son of Troublemaker is all pure Drag Racing in one of its most colorful forms and a great tribute to the original!
Rerelease of the mega-popular Tom Daniel Chevy El Camino Funny Car kit originally released in 1973! Molded in midnight blue/black for the rerelease. Mid chassis mounted 454 cubic inch V8 Chevy "Rat " motor, zoomed exhaust headers and the unmistakable El Camino body design. The 1/24 scale plastic model kit also includes a large decal sheet.
The Chevrolet El Camino is a coupé utility vehicle that was produced by Chevrolet between 1959-60 and 1964-1987. Unlike a standard pickup truck, the El Camino was adapted from the standard two-door Chevrolet station wagon platform and integrated the cab and cargo bed into the body.
Introduced in the 1959 model year in response to the success of the Ford Ranchero coupé utility, its first run, based on the Biscayne's B-body, lasted only two years. Production resumed for the 1964-1977 model years based on the Chevelle platform, and continued for the 1978-1987 model years based on the GM G-body platform.
The base model and SS option shared interior and exterior appointments with the Chevelle Malibu, while the El Camino Classic (introduced for 1974) shared its trim with the more upscale Chevelle Malibu Classic.
Front disc brakes were now standard on all '73 El Caminos. Additional new features were an acoustical double-panel roof, tighter-fitting glass, flush-style outside door handles, molded full-foam seat construction, flow-through power ventilation system, inside hood release, refined Delcotron generator and sealed side-terminal battery, a larger 22-US-gallon (83 L; 18 imp gal) fuel tank, and "flush and dry" rocker panels introduced first on the redesigned 1971 full-size Chevrolets. New options included swivel bucket seats (with console) and Turbine I urethane (backed by steel) wheels, as was the instrument gauge cluster.[15] A benefit of the new body designs was much better visibility to which the unusually thin windshield pillars contributed. A structural improvement was a stronger design for the side door guard beams. El Caminos shared the "Colonnade" frameless door glass with other Chevelles, and would continue this feature into the next generation as well.
The 307 2-barrel V8 with 115 hp (86 kW) was the base engine. Options included a 350 2-barrel V8 with 145 hp (108 kW), a 350 4-barrel V8 with 175 hp (130 kW), and a 454 4-barrel V8 with 245 hp (183 kW). Hardened engine valve seats and hydraulic camshafts made these engines reliable for many miles, and allowed them to accept the increasingly popular unleaded regular gasoline. The three-speed manual transmission was standard; 4-speed manual and Turbo Hydra-Matic 3-speed automatic transmissions were optional. Crossflow radiators and coolant reservoirs prevented overheating.
Love the dullcoated rims, looks truly lifelike!
Gotta admit,this thing is way cool!
Awesome job on this kit 👍👍. I'm an avid model builder as well , and have been building models for 40+ years . As I was watching this video , I noticed that the mating surfaces to be glued together still had either paint or chrome on them . As I gained experience building models , one of the steps I always do , is scrap the paint or chrome off all mating surfaces before gluing . The model never falls apart !
I think I bought every Tom Daniels model I could get my hands on when I was kid. His stuff is a huge part of my childhood.
Those Monogram kits were a little simplified but always went together well. The Bad News '60 Chev sedan delivery with double-carb Z/28 302 was awesome.
Wasn't sure I would like that but after its done I like it
I gotta have this.
I had the original Troublemaker when I was a kid and I loved that car!!!!!!
Came out great. Something a little different for sure.
Great job Chris. Always loved the Tom Daniel kits they were simple but always finished up really nice!! Thanks Tom!!! You know in this case it’s parachutes because there are two of them!!! Ba-dum-pum 🥁
Your an inspiration! I recently became disabled and thought I get into model building after watching your videos. How you show how you paint every little detail and what color paints you use. I am amazed how good you are! Thank you for teaching us newbie’s on the craft of model building!
Thanks, and keep enjoying your new hobby!
Great work you channel put me back in love with modeling again havent done it for close to 30 years
That is awesome!
Hey this model factory is in my neck of the woods. I just toured their factory with my model club afew weeks ago. Meet the owners great people.
I love it! I need to get one. Nice job!!
Hey Chris... the floor polish you are using hasn't been marketed under the Future name in many many years. This is confusing a lot of guys trying to find that stuff. It is Pledge Renew It now, available at many stores.
We’ve figured out what he was talking about, and we buy it. It’s not a big deal.
@@michaelcooke2559 It was a big deal for the three guys I had to assist just in the last month. Not everyone is all-seeing like yourself.
That one really turned out nice. What a cool looking design.
You can't beat Tom Daniel, or his son, for imagination, and creativity. It appears to be a 72 nose on a 73-77 body. Pretty cool.
I built this one before, when I did it was a reissue of the late 90's.
I love how the body turned out, great build.
I like the fact you painted the extinguishers in yellow!
Cool video Chris, as always... Stay safe!
This is a must get. I had the original Troublemaker when I was in 6th grade extremely fun to build as is all Tom Daniels kits. Seeing how yours turned out in the molded body color I'll give it a try and yes I was one of those hollering NO, NO, NO, but with the 2 coats of future that looks dazzling.
Sweet looking !!!
Nice job, a kit I think you will enjoy to build is the AMT 1963 corvette stingray.
Chrome Alone - the movie. I dug that movie, about a custom car builder who never chromed ANY parts in a group, always one piece at a time - alone. This build is a fantasy come to life. From a real World point of view, it should tear it up at the track. And so realistic, you can almost hear the zoomie pipes "crinkle" as they cool down after a hard run. Thanks again, Chris. BTW don't forget to watch the movie...
Great build video. That kit turned out great. Excellent detailing. As always, thanks for sharing.
That's a really super cool build up Chris keep up the great work and enjoy
👍👍 well done!
Man that’s a good looking model and no paint on the body impressive. I’m not a car modeler but this drill inspires me to get this kit. Great job!
Very nice and simple kit.Great build as always,thanks for sharing 👍
Just got this kit and looking forward to building it!! 👍👍👍
Really nice dragster build Chris! The decals are a perfect match for the molded in color body!! Very well done!!!
Another great build! Hope to grab one soon!!
Hope you enjoy it!
Another top job, keep doing what you doing your way cheers 👍🇦🇺
Absolutely fantastic build! I really love the Tom Daniel kits! I will be getting this one. I'm waiting patiently for a reissue Badman kit! Have a great rest of the week!👍😎👍
Awesome work 👏 👌 👍
Hey Chris, I still watch your model building and product review videos. I am so glad you are still sticking to the basics when it comes to model building. I love it! I hope to get back to model building someday in the future. I just never seem to have time during the day to build anymore. You always give me inspiration though! Keep up the great work and content my friend.
Absolutely gorgeous.
Holy cow that's a good looking kit
Definitely adding to the stash great build keep em coming.✌Canada✌
TY Chris. That was fun to watch. I'm somewhat skeptical of anything molded in color, but that bare plastic was very nice.
I've seen thousands of funny cars but never one with a El Camino body..... WICKED ✌😎
As always love the builds( especially the cool drag builds), hints, tips, tricks...
my favorite modeling channel ! Please keep the video's rolling in 🙂🏁
Yes, it is a really cool body style! 🙂
Very nice. What kind of glue did you use to put the rear tire halves together?
Rubber cement.
Great review mate , ive been following you for a little while ,normally i go for battleships and armour, but ive been watching some of your older videos and find myself wanting to build a 50s car , thanks for sharing , have a good one mate 😊😊😊😊
Nice build Chris,keep up the great work. 👍
Awesome job, I just started this one
This is really a great looking build. Thanks.
Really nice! I built the original Troublemaker about 15 years ago and ordered this one last night.
Wheely bars and chassis frame rails I had that 50 years ago the trouble maker and the outcast 57 Chevy and the plum crazy 57 Chevy cool kits
Yeah it was originally a Monogram kit and had those love it or hate it pre wrinkled rear funnycar tires that i swear were un everyone of their drag kits
They were first included in the Snake and Mongoose kits, and they had a wicked seam down the centre. Use masking tape painted black to give them realistic treads.
That came out great.nice work.
I built this as the Trouble Maker in the seventies. As typical of all Monogram Tom Daniel designs, an easy builder that was molded in colors for instant gratification for a kid that was under the age of ten. If it comes to Hobby Lobby, I might pick one up. Hobby Lobby has a few Atlantis kits in non-automotive plastic. I'm hoping they'll expand.
Very nice👍
Great build Chris! I built the original "Troublemaker" a year ago but the decals were shot so I had to improvise. I hope that Atlantis continues to put out more of Tom Daniels' kits.
Tom S.
I scan all my decals especially for older kits, then print them out on new decal paper. I started doing that when I aquired an old Revell Bass Buster Elcamino kit and noticed cracks in the original decals.
Sometimes the color molds are just as good as a paint job I agree with you Chris !
I did a gold car one time can't remember what kit it was but it was molded and a metallic gold and all it needed was clear coat ..👌👍
Got to hand it to Atlantis, they've stepped up their game. I've noticed the increase of their kits you've been doing.
Excellent! Do you have a video that shows how you apply the coats of Future floor polish?
Thanks!
Quite a few, just search the channel home page for Future or polish and they will turn up. :)
@@hpiguy thanks!
nice job as always!
Excellent Review Chris, Love The Final Results 🤗🤗 Thanks For Sharing Your Fun and God Bless All 🤗👍 Gary.
I have done a few different things when it comes to painting and the frame and parts. Should I build frame and other parts first then paint for paint before assembly?
My advice is to always build and paint the way you find easiest. If it works for you, keep doing it. If you want to try a new way, give it a shot, but remember it's your hobby and your model and whatever works for you is the right way.
Chris, can you tell me what kind of attachment you are using in the drill to scuff the tires?
Excellent work.
What type of glue did you use to combine the parts to chrome. I alway have an issue with keeping these together. I didn’t see you scratch either surfaces. Thanks for another fun build.
Super glue works well for me when gluing those parts.
Id legit love to get one but I'm too broke and shippings insane.
What happened to the red taillights?
It looks like it has a big block chevy with a toque flight transmission in it
What glue have you been using lately that has the brush built into the cap? I've used Testors glue with the brush built into the cap and it never bonds the pieces together very well or quickly.
I like Plastruct Bondene, Model Roundup and other places sell it.
Most of the liquid cements on the market work fine.
I've used Testors liquid with the pinkish label without issue myself, in fact I pour the Bondene into an old Testors bottle because it's shorter and wider.
Maybe you could get a race car driver figure and put him in the seat of the car. Or get one that’s standing and put him next to the car.
top good job
🏎️
Never could figure out the reason for two piece tires.
Guessing it was the way they were done back in the day on large tires, probably how they had to carve molds by hand back then, etc.
love your channel,but why do you have "watermarks" all over your photo scroll? kinda takes away from seeing the finished model,my 2 cents.
Great question, and it's because numerous model sellers were using my pics and video to sell their models and not giving me credit for my work.
One very famous model seller was even going as far as removing the watermarks placed in the corners to deny letting people know who made the model.
I now have to watermark the images on the model itself unfortunately..
@@hpiguy Incredible.amazing what some dishonest humans will do to achieve fake credentials. I too have seen some,not a lot,but some of my pics used and l consider it a form of flattery in a way. ANYWAYS,I UNDERSTAND. so sad that a few spoil it for the rest of us. Maybe post the models with a wheel missing,LOL!
Is that you uncle tony??
