Me too. You are the only model builder (except Plastimo) I’ve stuck with on you tube - love how you use Rustoleum paints and subtle changes to the builds. Thanks!

Have one coming in the mail today. All because of this video! I love watching your videos, you show what comes in the box and mention info about the parts and construction very well. Not the first round 2 that I purchased because of your videos! Thanks!🇺🇸

I was waiting on the review/build on this one. I really like the station wagon. Such a cool build. I’ll have my kit in next week. You’re a good salesman on these kits. Thanks.

John Hetrick Speaking for myself, I always go for the AMT kits first. Better quality and they go together well.

Back in the early 70's my cousin built a ski boat and he bought one of those Chevy station wagons to haul it around with. It was cool and it was almost the same color green as your review model. It was sandy on the inside and always loaded with water ski's, life preservers and the big ice chest full of liquid refreshment. It had a 327 and hauled that boat like nothing was there. He always had the outside shining though as it looked good with chrome rims and he painted his boat trailer to match the Chevy. Great review, brings back fond memories.

I built this from the RC-2 era issue. The spring-metal clip for the hood was missing then, too...they had that same feature for the '65 GTO. I used the stock wheels, but added a set of older redline Firestones....I do wish they'd retool/update that kit, but it still builds up nice.

I have the same car! I also watched the video before I built the car. You builds are helpful to people who have the same build🙂

I saw the movie, GREASE'' in the theater, when It came out in 78'... I was 10. Fascinated by cars then.. In the early 80's, I worked my first job as a dish washer on Saturday afternoons, and Sunday mornings after Church'... Had some money! So, I purchased a 1946 Ford Convertable, and a 1957 Chevy models.. They were $5.00 then! And I bashed them together, and made 'Grease Lightning'! Frenched and chopped' the front fenders, chopped up the 57'.. And glued and blended the rear fenders in.. And used Automotive Bondo' cause there was no access to hobby putty for me at that time.. I was 14... Looked Great! Fire Engine Red! No clear hood though... To this day,.. I still haven't seen any Model Company make 'Grease Lightning'..! Sorry, watching this brought back some memories.. Great work!

I did the white Greased Lightning on this very show. Check it out.

Another splendid build-up ! Now , I'd be remiss if I'd failed to mention that *California* vehicles *do* *rust* ! Especially vehicles near the beach (all of that salty air and moisture) . I've lived here in southern Cali my entire 50 years , so I can attest to vehicles being only 3-5 years old and rust forming around the windshield , backlite , sunroof , tailgate , fuel filler , etc. , etc. --- they rust from the top-down . I'm not telling you that in an attempt to bust your chops ; I just wanted to dispel the old wives' tale regarding rust and California vehicles . Keep up the great , fun work , Chris !
