Lots of 70-76, Challengers, Dusters, Demons/ Darts, and Cudas, running in NHRA Stock, and Super Stock, Eliminators. The fastest car show on earth! Neat kit.

Chris, i loved the story that went along with this! It made this one come alive. If you started driving in the 80s, you knew someone who had a car like this

I love your build philosophy. Build for you build it how you want it it’s your model. I do it the same way. Keep up the great work and being so inspirational. Thank you!

'...I love the smell of Testor's enamels in the morning...' mmm what great memories! Long before I began using acrylic craft paints, I had a couple Testors paint carousels filled with little bottle paints, two bottles of brush cleaner and 'all the fixins'- good times... I can't count how many planes, cars and ships those saw me thru. Glad to see someone still uses at least a little enamel for old times sake! :)

I've got the earlier " rebel rouser" version of this kit..only bought it on clearance at hobby lobby just for the two figures..the driver works great in other cars too..just dug this kit back out..contemplating building it straight out the box ..just cause of this build video here..like I need start another..but I do enjoy watching these..love your paint techniques ..especially the black primer on everything..gonna have to try that method for a different approach ..I've always used grey primer..love your back story approach as well. I used to do that too on every build when I was younger..still kinda do..but not much as most of all my builds have been parts box gluebomb rebuilds.
