Super awesome build Louie!!! Nice details. Love these JoHan kits. They filled the niche nicely of cars that no one else created. What other model car manufacturer offered a '62 Dodge or '62 Olds F-85 or a hearse for that matter. Thanks for sharing.
Great Build, Louie. I always enjoy seeing how you represent some of the cars from back in the day. I remember seeing these cars at the drag strip and I just marveled over them. The wilder the paint schemes the more attention they got.
I remember seeing this old Jo-Han kit a year ago in that MASSIVE collection Andy's Hobby Headquarters received one day, I *really* wanted it but due to the sheer volume of inventory he received and had to go through, it was not available for mail order; such is life. Yours came out nice, very 60s.
Reminds me of the 1964 dodge 330,440, and 880 cars by Lindberg i have always wanted one of those because my dad had the Johan version since it was a 330 from when I was a kid....
I got them in a huge bulk decal purchase a couple years ago. I believe they were micro scale brand. Package they came in is long gone. I do appreciate you watching. Happy modeling!!
Haha louie a flowerpower Dodge. Great result from that kit. I love it a lot. 1 Question.After seeing your vault tour i was wondering.Howlong are collecting all those kits. I asume it not started from 1 day to another. And you are 100% right. You build your kits the wau YOU like them. The same here. All those 100% perfect builds models,i can see them out on the streets aswell. Making them personal is way nicer,and for those who don,t like it, well it aint your kit.That is the way i think about that. Sorry for those to who you don,t compley the 100% expectations.
I started building models around 7-8 years old. (Check out my Father’s Day video with dad for more info) And started collecting and building heavier as I got older and could buy more. A lot of the vintage kits like the Johan ones, I bought new when they were still on the hobby store shelves. Thank you and Happy Modeling!!
@@TheAutisticModeler Thank you Louie for that explanation. I wish i started earlier buying kits and building them now after i did not build anything for over 30 years. But that life i guess. Gooing to watch the fathers day video now.
what a sweet kit you got im jealous surry been watch your chan fo years never scibed forgot you kanowe how us ol folks get 😁🤩🤣check out sega gassers the asphalt elephant 160 quarter bad ass🤗scooter d😎😜
You did a good job with the X-acto knife - but using a Dremel tool on that kind of stuff is usually the way I go. Also, I like to do all separate pieces for the undercarriage - drive train and suspension. So, I tend to do a lot more cutting and sectioning of under body areas. A Dremel is a life saver for that stuff....always wear eye protection !
Awesome job love the old model kit from glad to see somebody still build some

Awesome job , real glad u went with a Mopar period correct scoop… Thanks for sharing
I miss those old Jo-Han kits. I have a few that I built years ago. I'm working on the 60 Desoto Adventurer currently.
That’s a great job. I love how you turned it into a racer.
Very cool ! I'm digging the use of the checker board on the roof and carrying over to the top of the hood scoop !
Awesome build Louie! Thoroughly enjoyed watching your build, I learn something new every time. Keep up the great work!
I’m glad I taught you something. I really enjoy showing folks new tricks!!
Smoking hot presentation and build Louie!!💯
Great rare kit out of the vault! Definitely one of the Jo-hans I'd like to get ahold of to do the Max-Wedge Super Stockers.
Hell yeah 👍🤣
The AMT '49 Merc kit has a great 413 wedge as the "custom engine" . Actually quite accurate for this car.
I am doing a 62 Plymouth johan bracket racer with a huge hemi in it 😄😄😄😄

Louie that's a great transformation, like the checkerboard roof.
Another great episode into your vault Louie. Very well done!

Very nice work. Great color choices. Good use of decals. Thanks for sharing.

Turned out excellent! 👍🏻
What a cool build thanks for sharing
Amazing build like always. I really enjoy your enthusiasm
Thank you!!! 😊 I appreciate you watching. Happy modeling
looking good
Very sharp build makes a super cool drag car. Nice work
Awesome job buddy 👍😎
Awesome dodge 😎👍🏻
Very nicely done.
That's awesome there Louie, cool colour and livery too. Well done 👍🏼👍🏼
Needs some kind of hoop rollbar but a great build l have this kit to plus a ton of parts to make me something similar 😁😁😁
Remember building an early-'60s Dodge Dart kit as a li'l whelk back in the early-'80s. Don't recall the brand, thoug...
Evidently those Dupli color paints don't hurt the plastic. I was wondering if they would due to their "hot" solvents. Glad it came out well.
Thank you for watching. I always prime the body with cheap Ace hardware white primer. Works great. Happy modeling
Great build of a vintage kit! Do you happen to remember what kit the checkerboard decals came from? I am really enjoying your builds. Cheers!
Not for sure, but look to me like they're from Microscale full checker sheet, like they're stripes, etc.

Great build as usual! Have you ever did a video of your vault ? Or is it a private collection? ✌🏻Canada✌🏻
I have not!! I think that’s a great idea!! Watch for it soon!!
@@TheAutisticModelerA vault video with any added "how this one ended up here.." or "knew what to do with this one.." stories too!

That looks cool. A job well done.
