Great build as always.

I know what your channel needs , every once an awhile a bloopers reel. How about it Chris? Sounds like fun.

LOL, according to some my entire videos are a blooper reel. hehehe I try to leave in my flubs and mistakes instead of editing them out so that people can see I too have issues sometimes.

It came out brilliantly. This is how all kits should be: tons of part and decal options. 👍

Great build once again. Very cool.

Sweet car love the color 👌

Gotta love a 57 Chevy!!!!!!!! 👍👍👍👍

It's real fine - with that 4 0 9 Giddy Up. Giddy Up. 4 0 9 Sue Wheat Build. Thank you so much, Chris.

As an old dude who’s been building since the 70’s,these old kits spoiled us. Quality kits with so many options. Looked great. Fit great. This is definitely one of those kits.

Nice build. Great tip about matt acrylic on the tyres, those look great! I'll be giving that a try myself. Thank you.

Looks good - thanks for building it.

Very nice kit went together pretty good I'll have to get on the list to get me one nice job model look great

Cool classic model, very detailed 👌 👍

I have been watching your videos I did get back into model building I did order model and accessories from model round up

Nice job -- great colours! Wild engine.

Nice job on one of my favorite kits ! Not long ago I built two out of a box of spare parts I accumulated over 20-25 years. One I built pretty much as yours here. The other is a beat up, tired old stocker. And now I need to buy one of these !

A very nice looking kit. As always, you did an excellent job building it. That is an awesome decal sheet. Thanks for sharing.

Another good job the tri fives are the best I can’t get enough of them, I built the pepper shaker a couple of years ago 👍🇦🇺

Very cool car!

This ‘57 Chevy and the ‘56 Ford make good companion pieces.

*I built that kit as a kid 40 years ago and put the aligator in the back package tray so you can see him in the rear window~This '57 builds into a very nice model~Seems very heavy and sturdy compared to other brands '57s I have built over the years~Your turned out awesome~I love to watch all your videos* *Sincerely Rob Lucas*

Love this build I just started AMT 57 Belair . You just gave me some good ideas 💡 ty can’t wait for the next video …

As usual you have another one out of the park stay safe and keep up the great work

Great buiding!! Masterpiece and great work!

As always Chris great build and video, even the soundtrack music was relaxing, thanks for sharing, I'm looking forward to the next one.

Sometimes the music is too relaxing. I’ll admit I’ve fallen asleep once or twice watching these videos. Must be getting old or I have to stop watching his videos after working 12 hours.

Cool little build. I haven't built/ owned a model in decades but this year I made the mistake of picking up a dozen old Johan kits at a swap meet. And haven't stopped buying since now have around 100 kits. Not this kit yet but in 1 of my lot buys I acquired the 56 hdtp 78 release. Someone started it painted the body with a brush. I've striped it and made a candy apple gasser it's about finished. So now I'm doing a diorama lol like I'm not busy enough to start building again lol smh

love it love it

Turned out great

You should do a diorama with this and your Class Of ‘57 Chevy in a drag race.

came out great.

Sweet hpi. I love drag racing kits the most anyways. Yours is great. Take care.

hey chris this is a nice kit i built this one back in early 1980 my parents bought this for me for one of my high school graduation gifts i may have to buy another one nice job on this build .john

I have this kit in both a '77 sealed and '89 open unassembled issues plus three Revell issues '77, '85, & '89 also 2 Revell Nomads a '78 & '84 all 5 sealed. Someday I might build them

@@hpiguy yes it was. The 67 GTO Weekend Warrior. It comes with the Christmas tree.

I built this years ago, (maybe 97-98), and it had all the chrome suspension parts then. They have a little engine display stand you can build to display the engine you don't use.

Nice gasser Chris!

The shifter that looks “like a guys face” is a Voodoo head shifter. The real ones were slightly smaller and available through the JC Whitney catalog around 1959/60. They were chrome or black with large red jeweled eyes. I have on in my ‘57 Bel Air.

Nice, saw the pic on the FB page if that was you who shared it. Thanks!

Haven't seen the Cobra 🐍 build yet when I seen this I had to jump over it and check out the Pepper Shaker. This is already on my list but now that I've seen the build at least 2 are on the list. By looking threw the comments this kit has some history. Looks like it's been released at least once every decade since the 60's. I was heavily into modeling in the 60's, 70's, and part of the 80's and can't believe I don't remember it. I am aware of the last release, I was gonna get it until I saw this one. BTW the shifter looks like a Tiki God statue.

Nice 57!

Very cool build! But, I'm with you Chris, I don't like a lot of chrome. There is chrome and there is to much chrome. Lol

I had this one in the 80s it had like a basset hound instead of an alligator and I still have it in the "junkyard"

I need this kit!

Love your videos helped me get started making models could you maybe make a video on how you display or store your models

I built this kit back in 1967. It happens to be green and black also only without the black roof. Painted my engine gold. The black on the fin inset is black flocking and the interior is flocked in black and green. I'm now 71 and still have that model. First and only car I entered in a contest and took home first place. Wish I knew what happened to the trophy.

Pet alligator???.......Pet alligator :) Nice kit,nice build, i have an earlier release in the stash. Will get to it......once....

Currently in the process of building that bare bones basic blue 57 well molded in blue it’s as close as i could get to surf green

Great video! Can you share what make the purple tape is that you used on the side trim masking?

the shift knob is a moai head from easter island.

Great review and awesome build thanks Chris.i know you been asked a thousand times this question.what is that amazing glue you use? I'm hearing impaired sorry I missed it.big fan of your channel.peace.

The adjustable front suspension would be great at making a junker missing the engine.

I don’t always pay attention to the videos thumbnail, when I watch your videos. If I could tell that it’s a model of interest, I just hit the video and watch it, to be surprised on how you end up building it.

Rustic Orange and Fire Orange, thanks.

Looking at building multiples of these I've noticed that some have complained about the rear slicks touching the body, has anyone else come up with a solution ?

Just asking? Have you ever had any issues with spraying other paint over "Rust-Oleum" primers? Was asking because I was about to use it, under a Tamiya color? Or even Testors? Didn't want to have to put the body in the "stripper" solution and have to re-spray it... Your thoughts?

@hpiguy

Жыл бұрын

I don't try to two tone Rustoleums or Krylons over each other once dry, they usually react poorly. I have shot most other sprays over them in LIGHT coats and have not had issues, but always test first, I can't vouch for every combination or shop circumstances.

Is this one any different than the Pepper Shaker they reissued a few years ago?

Chris! What Glue do use that set's up that quickly???? I am using many Different Types including the Green Top Tamiya I have seen in Many of your Build Videos. But mine does not set up that rapidly. ANY ANSWER WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. I Retired at the End of 2020 and since I am a Single Man and my Son's are both grown and doing very well with families of their own. I decided to get back into modeling that I enjoyed sooo much as a Young Man. The ONLY thing we had back then to the Model Laymen was Testors Glue which took quiet a while to Dry as you know. Great Build as always and really like the color Scheme. Thanks in Advance and keep em coming!!!!

Wonder why it’s called pepper shaker but not black or chili pepper red on the box. Metallic green doesn’t really make sense. But if I buy this kit, I can fix that. I’d paint it the same color as my daily driver, a 1 of 2500 (1 of 500 that year) Chili Pepper Red edition 98 Wrangler.

Depends on how humid it is and how thick you applied it. I dry mine in a dehydrator and it takes 30 minutes, if left out probably overnight.
