This is a sweet traditional build. Your colors are right on. The rear end out of a Corvette is a cool touch and the exhaust is done well. I like it. I've been thinking of building another 55 truck soon. Thanks for the tour. Paul
Thanks! The rear end is kit stock, the kit stock front end is a mopar torsion bar setup. Pretty cool suspension for an old truck kit. Thanks for watching!
This turned out absolutely amazing Dan! Everything you did worked together so well and that Amy grill fits the car so well and actually looks better than the intended kit, I think the clean gap surrounding it really made it work. The chop turned out great and of course I love how the chrome reversed wheels look. You should definitely be a proud man on this one mate and keep up the great work! 🙂
Great result!! Love that gold on there. Fun decal and I love the maroon roof with the stripes. The chrome work is awesome and so are the custom touches. Sectioning it made for a wonderful look. Great job.
The color looks so much better in your case. Love the top color & stripes. This is an outstanding build. I truly enjoy following this build. As I do all of your builds. Beautiful work, paint & detail. Love the name you coined this with. "TIPSY" 👍
I really enjoyed following along and the end result is awesome! All of the mods work go well together, very cohesive and the paint scheme is killer. As soon as I saw the decals it made me smile. Thanks for the shout out. Too bad we can’t get our trucks together for a picture session. They’d look good together!
At first glance, it just looks like a nice build. but the more you look, the more you see all the work and craftsmanship you put into this. I feel like I took the easy road by not doing more to mine. I love the exhaust pipes, it reminds me of a certain red white and blue chopper lol
An excellent color choice for sure. Those stripes on top of the cab, nice! Reminds me of something off a brule wood and gold inlay dash. Those AMT '53 kits are a gold mine of parts. Very sweet build indeed. Thank You for sharing with Us here in tubeland. Looking forward to the next video. Take Care, Be Safe, God Bless. Later
Awesome build Dan! Looks so period and well done, surprised I've never seen the real one! The bird hood scoop and the roof stripes are something I probably wouldn't have thought of but definitely going to keep in the back pocket to possibly use someday. Love the look!❤
Just a beautiful build! Love everything you did especially the colors and your tipsy guy in the back. I'm back building now and I owe you a custom from your group bill I'm going to do soon. 😎👍
Love it man! Looks amazing! Only change I'd make? Flow some clear red into the valve covers in the t-bird logo to tie it all together. You really upped the game with this one!
The epitome of an Old Skool Kustom! Hard to believe that it started life as an early Ninties Hot Rod. I have used a lot of the Testors Extreme and not had an issue with it from a full can down to the dregs. Even this gold, which I thought I recognized right off the bat.
Don't get me wrong, good paint on a body is my nemesis. It is just I have better luck with both Tamiya and this Testors Line. I wish Testors would offer solid colors and metallics with a smaller flake for factory colors in this line. It covers well and levels nicely.
Now thats nice, love the colour and old school chrome wheels 😊 New Subscribers and we hit the bell 🔔 Cheers🍻🍻🍻 KC 🇦🇺 🤝 😊 👍 🍻 Cradle Mountain ⛰️ Tasmania 🇦🇺
Hay, if it was easy everyone would be doing it! Wouldn’t know by the finish project that u had trouble! Liking your color choices! Dang those horizontal exhaust stacks are right on! Another winner, glad we don’t have to pick one! Nice job Dude! Those trucks are so ugly, but y’all makin em look great! 🏆🏆🏆🫠🫡🇺🇸 Ps: you rocked that top chop! 🫠🫡
HEY-DAR 👊😎👍: USACC Comment #011 Only because the list is in alphabetical order {So Don't Grow Your Mellon 😊} I'd like to pick out the likes and dislikes I may have on each kit, but then I thought to myself "Who the Hell are You to give these awesome builder's critiques" So, I'll say fantanstic work, there was allot of Beautiful Workmanship across the board. Looking forward to watching you all this year. And for those who haven't sent me a Shop-Card yet, "Same on You" 🤗 (MODEL CAR)🎭(MAN CAVE) P.S the next one to pick the USACC group build pick a 63-67 Corvette IT'S Time For A CHEVY Baby !!!!

@@HayAuto so my comment disappeared on my end. Not sure what happened there. So you get the very similar comments. 🤣
No worries TH-cam is a mystery sometimes.

Beautiful model.
Looks amazing! Lovinging the T-bird addition's, great detail work nice kit bashing, all-around great build!

Thanks for the kind words! I challenged myself on this one and it paid off.
It really did. Easy Rider... the pipes on that bike is what it reminds me of. Took me this long to remember the name of the movie LOL
@@HayAuto

I tend to have bad luck when painting. Could also be user error. 🤷🏼♂️ Thanks for the kind words!
