While it's always good to have a guide like Chris to show you how to do it, the best way to learn is to just dive right in, start building, make mistakes, and have fun.😁

With all those decals you can't even tell if the body was actually painted, another great build Chris 👍👍

Thanks Teresa

As a completely blind person, I really enjoy your videos, especially your stock car model ones. Plus, this is Dale Earnhardt, which never hurts a video.

As a longtime fan, I just want to say THANK YOU for being honest and showing when little mishaps happen, like the chair coming apart. I have all kinds of setbacks when I try even the simplest things. You are incredibly skilled, but you don't hide mistakes. I totally respect you. Thanks for your awesome channel!!

Nice build! I built an original Monogram kit of Dale Sr's 1992 Lumina stock car back in 2020. I even used the original decals. They were a pain to use though. The old adhesive backing on the decals had a milky appearance when dipped in the water. I had to carefully clean off that milky residue with Q Tips and then carefully apply them to the unpainted body. I did the same thing you did with the body of that kit. Left it unpainted. Just needed a couple coats of floor polish. It shined up real nice.

Great video as always, Chris. I hope to see more "RCR" #3 racecars from SalvinosJR. Awesome kits and the decals are 2nd to none. I refuse to buy a new release until I watch your build video for it.

That mold is in fantastic shape considering that The chassis section was used in several different NASCAR kits with just different bodies and decals over the years. Most likely millions of kits came out of those molds!

Nice job 👍hope to see the 1998 daytona 500 winner monte carlo

Nice work Chris! Looks like a relaxing build! Thank you for all you do. Much appreciated from here!

Hey Chris great seeing you doing a Nascar and it turned out good as always, was wondering though if you are gonna build the Wes's Model Car Corner/Salvinos asphalt modified car that you did the box opening on a while back , would love to see it and your technique of building it ,especially since it seems like everyone has so many different ways to assembling it...

Very nice looking build. It is amazing that you don’t have to paint this one. It looks like a great kit. Thanks for sharing.

One decaling tip - use a hot plate to get the water warm. While you start with hot water, it cools off quickly.

I always like seeing the race cars. Thanks for the build.

Cool as always.

I'm currently working on a blue and yellow Monte from the old monogram line. Was looking to see the best ways to get the black lines on my glass. This was awesome and so informative! Also I'm so terribly excited that I can buy a slightly more modern black #3 car.

Thank you 👍

dad has this model from back in day. still in box.

Cool video I’ve got an original Good Wrench with the name on the top of the car. Built back in the day.

Always good when Chris posts

ABSOLUTELY " FANTASTIC " Build Chris. I've Got 2 o Those In My Stash Now. GBA 🤗 Gary.

Mine came in the other day, and Salvino’s sent me two by accident I called them and he told me happy birthday and enjoy! I love their kits I have 25 of ‘‘em haha

My 84 Cutlass race car is blacked out as well. Some people mistake mine for a Buick GN. Cool kit.

Sweet!

Awesome build and presentation Chris! 👏

love this

We called them "hassocks" (however ya spell it) too (here in upstate NY). I'm amused by your reference to your dad. My dad built models as a kid and started me out on a really cool journey probably unknowingly. We built a Messerschmitt (however ya spell it) together and I was immediatly hooked. His models were balsa wood and paper, flying models. Today, many years later with channels like yours I'm once again enjoying this most rewarding hobby. As you always say, build for you and I agree, that's the secret to enjoying it.

Awesome build! My all time favorite NASCAR driver! I have built a few of Dale Sr's car kits from years back! Including a version of this car!! Great job as always!!

That’s one nice build my friend

Very nice. I found a bunch of old nascar kits from the 80s here in Calgary at an old hobby shop. 20 bucks each!! Too good to be true. Bought em ! Tim Richmond Folgers, dale e, old dale e, wranglers version, Quaker state green, Richard petty 86 Buick, a couple of others. Bought the Richmond. I’m going back to buy them all!! lol

I just built the original monogram version of this car 2yrs ago. I liked the decals here better. As you can probably guess I hit a road block when it came to the OG decals because it's just the "3" and the red pin stripe underneath. I had to trace the 3, make a template, and then use that to paint the silver so I could get that gap under the 3 and stripe correct. JRS did a way better job

Thanks Chris! Are you gonna get me started on NASCAR models again! I sure do miss when slixxs decals used to have amazing aftermarket NASCAR details for any driver any paint scheme. I remember the original monogram kits on that first tree you showed with the wheels was Chrome. I used to soak that in simple green to get all the Chrome off. I did not realize somebody else was making the kits now. I will have to check into it thanks again LOL

The Car Turned out Beautiful Chris. Awesome Job.

glad to see this un back again as to your remark about "flash" I do a lot of body work on my stuff I keep a bottle of liquid glue( like what you use) and I put flash and other plastic shavings in it until it becomes kinda like melted plastic I use it on places that regular filler won't work wellI have one bottle I am using and another that I am "brewing" because sometimes if you get too much plastic in it it will harden and be unusable----

Wow. Nice build. Nice car. I wish they would re- make some of the Monogram/Revell Gassers , Pro Stock and Sportsman cars.. I prefer the 1/24 scale but 1/25 is good too.

Great build! Oh how I miss Earnhardt. Thanks for doing this one on the show

Nice!

🏁3 🏁

I built the #3 a long time ago. It was a fun build.

We need the number 8 car also that would look sick side by side

Nice build as usual thanks Chris love the stock models

Really smart build went together really well excellent video

No Winston decal. Copyright I guess. Looks good as usual. Have quite a few of the Goodwrench kits still sealed.

Awesome Nascar build!

Nice build as always Chris!! 😊

Dang, Chris that looks awesome! Cant wait to get it, Thats what I thinking, WRANGLER CAR, looking at 3 diecasts, right now!! Great video, Chris!!!!!

Fantastic mate👍

I've been waiting for this one

monogram kits had the clear parts being attached from the outside. the old ford t-birds i think it was the inside

Nice build, Chris. You're right. The windows DO install from the outside. I built the original issue and am in the process of restoring it. BTW, only 2 kits a week and a life? You can always try 7 kits a week and no life!🤣

Another great video. I wish I had your hand painting skills. I'm not good at it and not my favorite part. Thanks for sharing.

Sharp 😊❤👍

Sick car....think low riders and mod art may be my deal but damn if i dont like tgem nascars and lemans racers

The monogram nascars were always good kits but I don’t see the originals selling for a lot on the market so I am surprised that savinos would buy the tooling to reissue them and there would be a big market for them.

I would like to see the monte carlo 3 version 77 model

Greetings from Argentina, I loved the design! Thanks to you I will start putting together Salvino Jr models! I wanted to ask you about the song you use at the beginning of the video! please

I Like Chevrolet Monte Carlo Super Sport Fastback Aero Coupe Totally Amazing Badass Modern Muscle Car 80s

You sound like the owner of a local hooby shop here in Indiana

What clear coat did you use on this?

What did you use for clear ?

What can I use in place of future floor wax? Any particular brand or does it matter so long as it's high gloss floor wax?

Buy a truck model kit throw a roll bar cage in it plus racing tire's black paint job and number 3 and what do have something really 😎 that's what I'm saying p.s. have fun 😊

Is all of the flashing and the injection problems that you've been experiencing with these kits from jr because it's still the old molds from monogram? In other words is it going to get worse as more kits are made or will it get better?

Stupid question but where did you get those stands you use to clamp down the pieces & body while you paint it?

What brush on glue are you using at min:sec 9:00?? I've got some but it kind of sucks. It seems like you're using quite a bit of it too and it doesn't damage or get gunky on the plastic?? Also, do you use the super glue on the painted parts, aka the final engine assembly for instance, because of it being painted??

I use Plastruct Bondene, works well for me. I use dollar store super glue to attach final assemblies. Thanks!

if you get a kit that has broken parts, were you stuck with it or do they send you a new piece?

I show what I get and build what I get just like a customer would. I only accept sealed boxed kits so that they can't be cherry picked. Hence why I show broken parts or warped parts when I see them and how I deal with them like everyone else has to. Thanks!

i have one that has dale eranhart on it . 1988 and ihave 2 more 1996 and 2001 all have h es name on them

I bet you what they're talking about attach from the inside on the glass means paint the satin black on the inside of the glass not the outside

The QC on this kit is really lacking. Sorry but paying average 45 bucks a kit equals well finished parts trees and main body parts. Im not a hater just a bit frustrated with the Charger kit ass I couldn't read the parts numbers and some didn't match the diagrams. I will buy this kit as my last and only Dale model lost the hood. Yup it took off for parts unknown land. I like your videos. Keep up the great work.

That looks great. I wonder if Theresa Earnhardt realizes how ridiculous she’s being with how uncooperative she can be.

Is it insane to complain about flash and poor moulding, when we spend close to 50 bucks for a kit? Tamiya dont have flash so i'll buy them.

Beautiful car, but 1988 was one of Dale's worse years. Bill Elliot won the championship that year.
