I had this kit, as well as Revell's Model A Woodie kit. I built them simultane- ously. When I had finished a model, I would take it to the common area of my apartment complex to show my neighbours. I already had built two of AMT's Ford Model T, one as a car, the other as a depot hack--I believe this last was the forerunner of the pickup truck--which I also included. The elders in the place would remember their grandparents driving them.
"The sissy bars" heheh I haven't heard that term in so long I forgot all about it.... and I used to be heavily involved with bicycles when I was a kid too. We'd raid the dumps for bike parts and build bikes out of what was still good. Then race them, jump them and travel to "far away" towns in gangs to buy candy, soda, and popcicles. All our parents said was to be back by dinner or else.... lol Thanks for the memories man. And I'm talking about the 70's, not the 50's. Times have sure changed. I like the choices you made when deciding how you wanted to build this kit. I love it when there are a lot of options. I hope Round2 keeps these types of kits coming. One of the things you've taught me is when to spray paint and when to hand paint among many other things... dry brushing, washes, what glues to use when, windows and a whole lot of other very helpful techniques. Love your videos. The model looks spectacular. And of course I love the bike.
It was very clever of AMT to mold the inner “wooden” panels separate from the rest of the body, which makes painting a lot easier. I have the Revell kit, and it’s going to be tedious. Nice build, Chris.
The thing that I’d found irritating about the Revell version “back in the day” was that the woody panels were warped, and elementary-school-me was unable to reshape them beyond gluing the whole thing into a solid mass.
Awesome as per usual Chris! I was thinking while watching this video, have you ever considered building a model that you REALLY spend some time with to see how awesome (whatever you build) it would come out? I always hear you say “you could do this or that to make it look GREAT, but I don’t really care cause I gotta get this content out.” This woody would have been a GREAT one to see what you REALLY could do! I’d LOVE to see what YOU could do if ya spend the time to do it. Don’t get me wrong, I love the “fast and furious” (lol) way you build cause that just makes for more/new content. But maybe a 2 or 3 parter to show what builders CAN do if you really take your time with a build. As always, thank you for the great content Chris… it always makes my day when I get the notification that you’ve dropped another build!
I like building quick, I just like getting more and more kits done. Every new kit is a new adventure for me, keeps me going. I'll get into the weeds with a kit some day, but for now the two day build process is enjoyable and I've always loved just making them from the box as is.
Sometimes spending to much time on one kit could put you in a slump . I get really frustrated if I spend more than a few weeks on a kit. I almost feel like saying the hell with this and not build for awhile . I'm like Chris. I want to build quick , enjoy it and move on to the next cool kit sitting on my shelf.
You could fairly easily rub those side panels down on some coarse paper to thin them a bit and then glue real wood veneer on the outside. I may have to look into that.
I was planning something like that for mine, I was going to rebuild the entire body out of balsa. I ended up getting lazy and just doing the pickup but I'd still like to go back and try it someday.
I built a similar kit over 50 yrs ago. It came with wood grain inserts for the body, a surf board and a surfer dude with a bushy blond hairdo and a big nose.
Enjoyed the video a lot, I used to make models when I was a kid, a lot of the Tom Daniels kits, things have changed a little especially painting techniques, one suggestion could you do narration and describe the paints used and your techniques for getting certain looks, for those of us that have been out of modeling for 45+ years, it would help guide me back into the hobby, especially the painting (like black washes and all these modern paints and paint techniques like using markers and pens and where to get them and how to use them. Thanks Paul
I would love to see you build the 1940 ford coupe kit by AMT, seems like you’ve done very every other year and body style for the generation 😂 but as a “precautious” modeler, i like seeing how they turn out, and I much prefer your quality of videos, as any kit you’ve built and I’ve bought myself…..worked exactly how you said it would from blemishes to perfections. But please do a 1940 ford coupe!!
I enjoy watching you build your models Its something i like doind also. I would like for you to someday everyone here your entire collection. I can only imagine how big it is and i bet it looks fantastic.
Another *outstanding* review & build , *Chris* ! Now I'm going to have to get one or three of these ! In early 1988 , *Tim* *Boyd* did a buildup of this kit for Scale Auto Enthusiast . At that time , I was turned off by those crummy tyres which AMT et al. was including ( those "snow tyre" Rallye GT junks ) , so I relented ; I didn't have any spare tyres at that time. But , I digress... Keep 'em coming !
Is this the Beverly Hillbillies truck? I almost think it is. I am looking up at my actual tv kit. I've always loved AMT. My whole life they have been there. Those un-identifiable decals I believe are center hub decals for the mags?
No, it is a repop of a kit that was originally done by MPC in the 60's. I think it was one of the first that had a hot rodded Ford flathead v-8 (with the aftermarket aluminum heads). Don't hesitate to buy this, it's a very good kit.
No. The Beverly Hills truck kit was its own kit design, plus it was a 1921 Oldsmobile not a Ford. This kit was born as a 1928 Ford Model 'A' Tudor sedan, designed by MPC for AMT in 1964. In 1965, MPC converted the sedan kit to a '28 pickup and '29 Woody wagon kits. In 1966, the two options were combined into one kit ("The Wild Ones") along with the bicycle and a 'Hot Curl' surfer figurine with surfboard. Hot Curl soon disappeared and that's what's left of this old kit for us today.
Awesome video. I had a question about an older review. It's on the kitech blue thunder kit about 6 yrs ago. I received the original monogram kit from a friend. My question is what color blue did you use on the main body? Awesome videos and keep em up.
Great job Chris!!! Fantastic looking model, great looking kit. I don’t think I built that version, had a monogram surf woody when growing up. Couldn’t find the link, you’re not talking about the depot hack that got smashed I love that one. Saw a real one driving around at greenfield village in Dearborn last month so cool! Keep up the good work!
Very sweet build man, always love the ones with extra parts ! The Schwinn bike look a-like is bitchin'... I had the Schwinn Grey ghost & Orange Krate stingray bikes back in the day ✌😎 Thank you for the build 🙂🏁
What a great build Chris looks great the problem with those multi kits you don't know which one to build you have to get at least four to do different variations from stock to custom but what the heck let's do four👍👍
Ok, ok.....tain't seen anyone ax this question and.....I been a lookin', but can't find it....What's the grand guitar music you use in most all of your videos???? Tks Denny G, Sandwich, IL
Yet ANOTHER MASTERPIECE In The Books Chris. Pretty Darn Spiffy The Way They Seperated The Wooden Framework and Inner Body Panels. That Schwinn Bike Turned Out Sweet Too !! Thanks Again For Sharing Your Skills n Fun . Have a Blessed Week Ahead Sir 🤗🤗.
Hey Chris very nice build , I love the color, and the way the panels turned out. That stingray bike is great touch. As always I enjoy your videos and your positive attitude and sense of humor. Take care until next time. 👍
I was watching this one and listening to the music. Do you have music on in the background while you build. I do but I listen to music alot. Nice build as always .Thanks
As usual, you did an awesome job building that kit. Those era of models are not really my cup of tea, but you really make me consider buying one. But, I’m saving my money for an Hpiguys t-shirt. Lol.
ALOT of ppl do model builds and reviews but your builds are calming and relaxing as well as informative. Thank you
Very Hyper Dude! Channel should be called Hyper Dude
Absolutely beautiful! Love this kit.
Thank you so much!

Great Job of putting fun back into modeling Just have fun Modeling👍

I ve heard that 1 hour of model building is a better stress reliever than 8 hours of sleep
Might be, I enjoy it for sure!

I used the decals that came with the Revell kit and I thought they looked just fine.
Awesome as per usual Chris!

Me too!

Love it! I especially love the one-piece woody body and the separate inner panels. Always enjoy kits with several build options.
Glad you like them!
*Love the garnet pearl color*
Awesome job once again. Man, I gotta get this one! It's worth it just for the decals! Love that flaming skull. 💀
I enjoy watching you build your models Its something i like doind also. I would like for you to someday everyone here your entire collection. I can only imagine how big it is and i bet it looks fantastic.
Thanks for the visit! I don't really have a huge display room of kits, thanks man!
Originally this an mpc kit called the wild ones , nice build Chris
Thanks!

Good job sir... this channel really inspires me because I'm a vintage toy lover.
Greetings from Indonesia. 🙏
Rock on!
Love it like the classic car model 👍🏻👍🏻
Always enjoy seeing Model T kits come out. This one is definitely a must have for me. Your version came out very nice. Happy modeling Chris!!
Thanks for the visit!
Always enjoy your videos...I was just wondering how many years of paint is that built up in your spray booth
I scrape it off now and then but as long as it still sucks up paint it's doing it's job.
Is that bedroll the only remnant of the 'Hot Curl' surfer dude character that originally was part of this old MPC kit from the '60s?
This is a really fun build Chris. I dig your color choices, excellent build!!
Thanks for the visit!
Awesome love the stingray
Thanks for the visit!
Hi Chris this turned out AWSOME I LOVE!! I still have my original truck as the wooden. It's great that you used my favorite red color!!
Awesome! Thank you!
This looks like a fun kit. I wonder how that woody body would fit onto Revell’s Model A hot rod chassis.
Thanks for the visit! I'm sure it can be made to work, it's plastic after all. Give it a shot!
very nice!!i'll be adding that to the collection
Enjoy!
Love watching you make these beautiful models .
Thanks for the visit!
Very nice, you sold me on one of these!!
Right on!
I love the old cars , Ford Model T
All the kits you do are so great 😀.
Super nice kit .
Great work as always. 👍👍👍😎😎😎
Thanks 👍
What skill is this? it looks like a skill 1... is there a skill 3 available?
Beautiful. I want to build the same version as you did👍1929 SUV🙂
I have been so ready for this video!!!! Chris I love your videos man you give me a reason to live!!! Keep up the great work and don't you ever stop
Thanks for the visit!
Very kool kit!!
I always look forward to your videos! They are my favorite on TH-cam.
Thanks for the visit!
Muy buen kit pero tienes que trabajar bastante para que algunas piezas coincidan
Me gustaría compartir una foto
I had one similar to that back in the '60s but mine came with two surfboards instead of the bike
Really nice! I need to get one of those!
The items you call bed rolls , could they be curtains for the old T?
It's a bed roll/towel, left over from a figure that used to be included.
one sweet kit, love the bike......
Thanks for the visit!
Nice - you made a Ford Model A into an A +
Thanks for sharing (I know it's probably a Model T - but T + ?)
Thanks for the visit!
Chris that looks SO good. Really like this one. Take care sir
Thanks for the visit!
I got excited when I saw that solid chrome engine. That was crazy cool. That bike would have also looked cool as a lowrider bike. Another great video!
That would be cool!
Woody Ford a model review video 👍
Is this the Beverly Hillbillies truck? I almost think it is. I am looking up at my actual tv kit. I've always loved AMT. My whole life they have been there. Those un-identifiable decals I believe are center hub decals for the mags?

It came out nice Chris. All the options in this kit are great.
Thanks for the visit!
@@hpiguy Always informative of kit releases & building tips. Also enjoyable to see how you build your own version. Fun stuff!
Great build Chris. If the bike hade been blue, it would have looked just like the bike I learned to ride a two-wheeler on.
Thanks for the visit!
Awesome video. I had a question about an older review. It's on the kitech blue thunder kit about 6 yrs ago. I received the original monogram kit from a friend. My question is what color blue did you use on the main body? Awesome videos and keep em up.
I never built it, but any deep flat blue should work.
@@hpiguy thank you for the response. Happy Holidays.
As always great build Chris looks good sir
Thanks for the visit!

Delicious work. Regards from Brasil
Thanks for the visit!
I was watching this one and listening to the music. Do you have music on in the background while you build. I do but I listen to music alot. Nice build as always .Thanks
I have a TV on, hence why I have to mute the detail part of the video and lay music over it.
Thanks for the visit!
That looks amazing Chris! Awesome job and tips as usual buddy. I would build mine exactly the same! Take care mate. ☺️👍
Thanks Will!
As usual, you did an awesome job building that kit. Those era of models are not really my cup of tea, but you really make me consider buying one. But, I’m saving my money for an Hpiguys t-shirt. Lol.
Thanks for the visit!
Cool!!! 👍👍👍
Thanks for the visit!
You could use plastidip for the black rubber floor
I'm going to build this with 100% ford colors and real wood veneer.
Great job;
