- AMT 37 Chevy Coupe unboxing.
This is the AMT 37 Chevy Coupe Street Rods collection. It’s in the 25th anniversary boxing from 1973. We first saw this kit in 1968 it was re boxed with new decals in 1979, 2014, then again in 2021. I’m not sure of the part count, but this kit is loaded. No flash to talk about, and everything is molded nicely. This kit was found by a friend at work who found it unopened at a toy show. He grabbed it for me because he knew it was a cool kit.
Street Rod Series AMTs are Great Nice Box Art
Hey Grandpa mark, a beautiful model kit, cant wait for you to work your magic, looking forward to this one. By the way your voice is radio station quality you sound cool....🇬🇧
Thank you very much. You just made my whole day.
Very nice vintage kit looks great excellent 👍
Thank you very much. It sure looks nice.
An interesting vintage kit! That decal liquid works, I've used it a lot on old decals. Testors also makes a rattlecan decal spray that works well too. 😎👍
Thanks. I love the Testors spray for making my own decals.
Love those big fender cars. Thanks for the unboxing Mark. Very cool as usual.
You and me both. Thanks.
Nice 37 Chevy unboxing and parts review, going to be fun building this one. Have fun.😊
Thank you. I think it's going to be a good kit for the station.
Very cool! Love the artwork on the box!!
Thanks. I may end up framing the box when I finish this one.
Very nice unboxing. It looks like a neat kit. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much.
man I Love it better than Football today- Congrats to Ohio State to start!! lol. That clear hood is the 1st ive ever seen! A Awesome kit to have and build indeed! I so much want a 37 Chevy Pickup!! If One was ever made. Im sure i will be able to follow! Again another great day with Ya Mark!!
My son is in town, so the wife is about up to her ears in football. LOL Thanks. I'll take the Ohio State win too. I've seen them before, but this is the first one I've ever had. I think the Grease Lightning kit had one, but I never got around to getting the kit. Thanks again for following along.
Great unbox,would love one of them kit. Thanks for sharing. Donnie
Thank you. Yes, I was very lucky.
Box art is awesome. Would be a great box art build.
Yeah, I think it may end up being semigloss black, but I still think it may be cinnamon interior. LOL
Man that’s a sweet kit. Love that box art. That’ll be a fun one to get built. I love these old kits.
I was so stoked when he texted me that he found one. That old box is so cool.
@@grandpamarkshobbies it is awesome!!
I can see several possibilities for that kit . lol lookin forward to this build
.
Yes!!! I have all kinds of ideas from showstopper hot rod to a rusty old work horse.
Very nice! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much.
Awesome unboxing. Nice kit.
Thank you very much.
Really cool unboxing. Looking forward to how it turns out.
Thank you very much.
A great look at a classic kit. The box is really nice as well.
Thank you. I may frame that box cover when I'm done with it.
Awesome unboxing Mark!!
Thank you very much.
Nice looking kit, looking forward to seeing your plans for it.
Thank you very much. It's going to be a bit, but I am already getting ideas. LOL
Nice unboxing. Looking forward to seeing the build.
Thank you very much.
@@grandpamarkshobbies I always enjoy watching your videos. I'm about to record an update on the completion of the spray booth I built, and maybe a " two kit " unboxing of my own.
Sweet!!!!! I'll be looking for it. Thanks for the heads up. I've been a bit out of it lately.
@@grandpamarkshobbies I know the feeling. I've been working crazy long hours at my job, and so haven't had much time for much else.
Yeah, it stinks when life ruins your build time. LOL
Nice unboxing of the AMT 37 Chevy Coupe. Just finished one a while back as a Drag car.
Tanks. Any tips?
Well, I guess it all depends on what direction your going with the kit.
I think I'm going to drop the big block in it, but keep most of it stock. Not sure of the tires yet.
Awesome unboxing Mark! That is sure a nice score of a old vintage kit. I guess if I would go places I might find something... Lol Cant' wait to see this kit built. 👍
LLAP 🖖
This is such a cool kit. I think I'm going to have to start looking around for some more of these.
Nice kit!
Thank you very much.
Those split tyres are great for making moulds for resin.
Ohhh I'll bet.
There was a Salt Shaker version from somewhere around 1980, and it was reissued as that in recent history. I have the two leftovers of what I built in my teen years, an older early issue that may have been in the box art of the kit that you have, and the newest Stovebolt reissue that includes the parts to build the car as stock interior with the stock dash cluster, or tuck & roll interior with the race cluster like the two I built when in my teens.
The 37 coupe kit begs for the engine from the AMT 51 Chevy coupe kit with the Wayne crossflow head, Hilborn fuel injection, and six port header! Early drag race, salt flat with full fenders, slammed Cali cruiser, or subtle driver with a Revell big block Chevy from the 67 Chevelle kit. Super kit to build as you see it in your mind's eye!
The 37 Chevy coupe is in the top two of my favorite car body designs to tie along with a 40 Willys coupe. I have a 29 Ford A Tudor hotrod that I drive and built. I love a 32 Ford!
The early Salt Shaker actually had molded two piece tires similar to what your kit has, but they were Goodyear salt flats special race tires. I haven't seen anyone making a resin or nylon repop of salt racing tall and skinny copies of those tires. If someone decides to make some, I'm in for a few sets in 1/25 scale.
I love all the old one's from the old T-Buckets on. I've been on this kick for just about a year now, and just can't get enough.
The flat panels on the sprue with the frame are the fillers to go in place of the front fenders as the salt flats option of the car that's not in the instructions, and also one of the two reasons for the supercharged BBC. The high arch springs in the chrome tree are for the gasser drag option.
There's a tan 37 Chevy coupe from the St' Louis are that is stunning to look at and stunning to watch go down the strip. It has a turbo Chevy 292 inline with three Holley 500 cfm two barrel carbs, and a Powerglide with transbrake! I've watched it click a 10.00 1/4 mile because it was tuned to make that run with more left! With the set of modern steel wheels and hubcaps they have, the car is a sleeper that will shock you!
Thanks for that. I was wondering what they would be used for. I would love to see that one run down the track. I'll bet it screams!! Thanks again.
I have been looking for this kit for awhile. I have a passion for 30’s and 40’s coupes. I have a Revell/Monogram 39 Chev coupe, but Street Rod only version. My complaint with Revell is they decide what you can build. That’s why I always preferred AMT 3 in 1 kits. Any way I recently found a AMT 37 Chevy Coupe on eBay. I paid a lot more for mine,, (well over $50 with shipping), but less than they were asking. I really wanted this car. Mines a newer round 2 version. I like the box art on the one you have, very nice. Yours says 454 engine, mine 427. One improvement in mine, the 4 tires are vinyl whitewalls with 2 white letter slicks. I did a preliminary parts fit check and. I have some concerns about the two piece hood and especially the body to frame alignment/fit. I really like the look/style of this coupe. I can see Humphrey Bogart behind the wheel in The Maltese Falcon. I tend to go stock with changes I would do if this was my real car. Not a fan of big blocks, so I’ll drop a small block 283 with 4 barrel carb under the hood. A 4 speed and dual exhaust. Probably stock wheels, but maybe chrome reverse with baby moons. I will build the stock 6 and display it. Not sure of the color yet, looking forward to seeing yours. That yellow looks sharp. Oh, the extra pair of headlights with the pointy center are Lucas Lights, very popular with custom guys in the 60’s. Jaguar used them.
I've been digging the Revell T-buckets, but this is going to be a blast. I didn't know I was going this era. It kind of just happened.
My tree mostly has numbers, a few are missing. I recently bought a Fujimi 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO. Beautiful kit, super clean, parts are all numbered, but all the instructions are in Japanese. There’s a lot of them and I have no idea what any of it says. The pictures are good though. Ha!
LOL. With kits like this it's not that hard to figure out where things go.
I would like to see this kit re-released by AMT.
I agree, this and the convertible. I think they would do great.
Nice mate👍
Thank you very much.
nice choice ove models.but I wish one other model I wish I could find. is the blue duce .i had it many years ago.but if it exists.proble cost enough.😮
I don't remember the blue duce. I'll have to look that one up.
I have built both the Hardtop coupe & the Convertible versions of this kit. I prefer the coupe as it looks fast when it is standing still. lol
That's funny as heck, I just said that to my son today. LOL
This should be a cool build. Yellow not a bad choice. Question do u have a library of ur videos thanks
Thank you very much. I do not have a library of my videos. I should put one together. Here is a link to my TH-cam home page though. I've been really good at putting them all in play lists so you can follow along easily. www.youtube.com/@grandpamarkshobbies/videos
@@grandpamarkshobbies thanks. Can’t remember if u did u do a wood style steering wheel. But u have a a lot of great videos. U have been bringing my game up to a different Laval. Many thanks
First off, thank you very much. You just made my day. If you are on Facebook I have a real good video pinned to my group page that shows how to do a wood steering wheel that looks perfect. The group page is grandpamark's hobbies
Should be a cool build.
Thank you.
What can I mix up to get a wood look th
I do it in layers. Dark brown, light brown, black, then top it off with Tamiya Clear Orange.
Nice 😅........ built that in 72 or 73
Very cool. I never did this one, looking forward to digging in.
454Oh Boy!!!
I know, right. . . A big boy.
Sorry to rain on your parade but personally I'd rather partake of a bottle of Jim Beam than buy an MPC or AMT kit having been stung before.
LOL. I stay clear of MPC, but I've only had two AMTs that were bad. The pinto is one of them. This one looks to be a good kit, but we'll all see as I go along. And as for Jim Beam, I'm more a Jack fan. So like everything, variety keeps everyone happy.
😎✌🏼🚧✅
Thanks.
Really neat kit. Great unboxing
Thank you very much.
