That looks great. You did a good job on it. You did a good job explaining about the big block. You are absolutely correct. The 409 was a hot commodity in this era. Rodders ate those 409 engines up until '65 when the new gen big blocks hit the scene. Even after, you'll see hot rods with a 409 in it.
Thanks Rob, I'm a big W-MOTOR fan and big bodied GMs. I had one for my 64Impala but it never made it in. I'm going to be doing all the 58-65 Impalas with 348/409s in Day2 attire.
Thank you one of my favorite movies and have many of the other cars from the movie in the stash ready to be built once I have all the correct pieces I would like to have.
Very nice build black paint job 👍🏻.. I use to attend American graffiti car show every yr in Petaluma ca a lot of the cars from movie still out in Sonoma county super cool
Awesome looking build. I thought about building all the cars from American Graffiti. Yep black always shows up everything lol. Thanks for sharing. Have a great week my friend 👍👍👊👊😎😎
That was a cool movie.. You did an awesome job on that! Your paint looks amazing, for sure the black will show all prints and all dust.. Nicely done Adam!
@@sodakmodelcars Always a pleasure....bought the Two Lane Blacktop on DVD not long ago....plus a few other proper 😉 car movies....I can't handle those Fat & Furry ones....! 😉😆😂
Pretty common for multiple rooflines in the "same" car even all the way through the 60s. Certainly can be the "whats different" about a car. Thanks for watching
I saw Bob Falfa in the thumb nail and I had to click! I wanted to see if you made the actual movie car with the big block Chevy and flip front end. I am not disappointed, the 348 - 409 engines would be a hot set up back in '62.
Sorry to disappoint, but wanted to stay within the scope of the movie. Also leaves the option of the 2lane blacktop car more interesting and not just redoing the "same" build/car Thanks for watching..
I've always known they were more popular because they were much stiffer, hadn't heard they were lighter. Interesting why that would be since they have more roof, post and glass.
Beautiful build and details amazing results🤗, Gotta love a 55, New Subscriber 310 and we hit the bell, have a great week ahead👊 Cheers🍻🍺 KC Cradle Mountain Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🤝🇺🇸🇺🇸😎👍
Now you have me curious. I agree with you. A car from 62 couldn't have a 396-454 family big block, but I don't remember if they ever mentioned what his car had in it. Falfa's car, the car from Two Lane Blacktop and Mike Finnagan's Blasphemi all seem to be related. I'd love to build all three.
Wow I'm still struggling on my second LOL but it is coming together and you car is very cool a great paint job. I love that scull LOL man that car has some shine. 🙂Thomas over at The Model Hobbyist
hey Adam I'm Keith from Ireland seen shoutout jeff gave you today I found you threw the shoutout so seen you do cars one my main modelling preferences but great work I have hit the subscribed button and bell notification bell keep up the good work ill be watching bro ,👍,Keith ,from Ireland
@@sodakmodelcars my pleasure cool interesting builds you've had awsome keep up the good work ill be watching bro couple finals to get finished in next couple of days
One of my all time favorites so I am planning on Building them all. Milners 32 Coupe, Steves 58 Impala, Pharaoh's Mercury, Blondes 56 Tbird, Lauries Edsel-ish, Kurts 2CV, Toads Vespa, and probably a couple others that make appearances. LoL so stay tuned for "more American Graffiti" builds also Milners Dragster.
SWEET!!!!!! THIS IS GOING TO BE AWESOME!!!!! What about Hollywood Knights, there's some bad ass cars in that one too! '65 ElCamino, '56 Nomad, Project X ( when it was cool, not an EV!!!) So many cool movies and cars from back then, even 2 Lane Blacktop was a cool one!
Lots of cars I want to do. The only currently "planned" series of cars is American Graffiti and '58to'65 409ci Impalas in day2 attire. (Wheels and headers kind of look). And a bunch of other builds in the mix as well.
How did you cut the wheel well out so good. Im doing a version that wheel well is open like that. Its not American graffiti car. Just a drag car from childhood
I used a pill bottle that would match the diameter of the opening and wrapped it in coarse grit sandpaper. (80grit) Worked it back and forth until close, then moved to finer paper to finish radius. Also, I used some fine evergreen to make the lip around the radius.
Very nice build. Good job. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks and you're welcome.
Very cool, love this build! That simple clean look and chrome wheels really sets these tri fives off!
Thanks! Still acquiring parts to one day do all the cars from American Graffiti .
Beautiful build
Thank you!
What a awesome looking build very very cool well done sir
Thank you, I appreciate it.
The car looks great! The paint is super slick and the engine looks perfect as well. It’s a great fit in that car! 👍
Thank you sir!
Beautiful build. I had no idea the roof was that much different between the post and hard top. Thanks for the information 👍👍
Thank you and you're welcome.
Great looking build. Didn't know that about the roof. Thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend.
Thanks for the compliment and enjoy your weekend.
Cool build
Thanks
Nice work! I could definitely see Harrison Ford driving that one.
Thank you!

Thank you David, I appreciate that!

I'm an Impala guy. Love em all.
You did a awesome job on that 55. It’s on my todo list as well as the Two Lane Blacktop 55.
Thank you one of my favorite movies and have many of the other cars from the movie in the stash ready to be built once I have all the correct pieces I would like to have.
That is one sharp looking build.
Thank you sir!
Very nice build black paint job 👍🏻.. I use to attend American graffiti car show every yr in Petaluma ca a lot of the cars from movie still out in Sonoma county super cool
Thanks! That would be super cool, seen pictures from the event but pictures never do an event justice.
Boy that's a nice redition on Bob's 55. That black looks super nice. That BB 348 is shoehorned in there nicely 👍
Thanks you sir!
Looks great, Love that black paint😁😁😁
Thanks, it'll call out your flaws thats for sure.
Awesome looking build. I thought about building all the cars from American Graffiti. Yep black always shows up everything lol. Thanks for sharing. Have a great week my friend 👍👍👊👊😎😎

Absolutely Gorgeous Shoebox 55 Chevy!!. Man does she look sinister in that Black!!

You did a Great job replicating the American Graffiti car!!!!! Nicely Done Adam. I want to go watch it now.
Thank you sir! Its always a good time to watch American Graffiti!
That really looks awesome Adam, nice work, definitely looks the part, :) 😎👍👍
Thanks Tom
Love the paint, great shine. Looks just like the film version. Very cool
Thank you, I appreciate it.
I would have never dreamed that the top would be different like that. That explains why some seem somewhat "off" to me. Nice build, brother.🤠👍
Pretty common for multiple rooflines in the "same" car even all the way through the 60s. Certainly can be the "whats different" about a car. Thanks for watching
And Big Congrats on the 299 subs, :)
Thanks 😊

Thanks for watching..
@@sodakmodelcars I an NOT disappointed, you did a period correct build. Nice!
One of the cool things about post sedans like my brother's 55 to hotrodders and racers is that the car is lighter weight than a hardtop.
I've always known they were more popular because they were much stiffer, hadn't heard they were lighter. Interesting why that would be since they have more roof, post and glass.
Beautiful build and details amazing results🤗, Gotta love a 55, New Subscriber 310 and we hit the bell, have a great week ahead👊

Very kool bro!
Thank you!

No, they never mentioned it. So I took creative liberty. He seemed pretty confident in his 55 so I went with the hottest thing of the era.
Looks nice and looks the part. All you need is a small Harrison Ford driver with a cowboy hat and a skull hanging from the rearview mirror.🙂
I have the skull no figure though. Thanks for watching
Wow I'm still struggling on my second LOL but it is coming together and you car is very cool a great paint job. I love that scull LOL man that car has some shine. 🙂Thomas over at The Model Hobbyist
Thanks Thomas, this one definitely fought me but I kept after it.

Pretty sweet build! Are you going to build Milner's coupe, or the cool '58 Impala?
One of my all time favorites so I am planning on Building them all.

That is indeed a really good build, but.....the engine in the build is not a small block 265 that came in the 55 Chevy's. Still good work.
Correct, but its not a factory stock build so anything goes.
How did you cut the wheel well out so good. Im doing a version that wheel well is open like that. Its not American graffiti car. Just a drag car from childhood
I used a pill bottle that would match the diameter of the opening and wrapped it in coarse grit sandpaper. (80grit) Worked it back and forth until close, then moved to finer paper to finish radius. Also, I used some fine evergreen to make the lip around the radius.
@@sodakmodelcars thanks. I appreciate the tips
