Great kit. I built the original "Cop Out" back in the 70's. I'm now amazed I was able to assemble the frame rail as a adolescent. It definitely takes patience. I love the two tone paint scheme. I cringed when I heard the finished kit hit the floor. Whew! you dodged a bullet with only a couple of loose pieces. I purchased a rebox of the Cop Out from the 90's last year for my collection. I've been looking at this kit and I'm ordering one tonight. Another great build. Loving the channel. Thanks!
This was originally the Mongoose kit from 1970. The two types of injector set ups were for either the Snake or Mongoose kits. They are not used together. The Snake kit used the more traditional 3 port "Bird Catcher" scoop. Mongoose used the 4 port Hilborn style. Monogram put both on the chrome sprue.
You gotta love an old school funny car build... the two tone paint design is amazing. now you need a sweet ramp truck made from an old fire truck ! Thank you for the video ✌️🙂
Great job, Chris. As others have pointed out, this started out in life as Tom McEwen's Mongoose Duster back in 1970. I built that kit as a young lad. Now long gone, I intend to order some Slixx Mongoose decals, which are sized for this kit and build it once again, more than 50 years later. Who says you can't go back again? Cheers!
I do not have this kit but, the original Tom McEwen Duster! The top of the injectors uses the plate (riser), the scoop was on the tree for, the "Snake" Don Prudome Cuda kit (a shared runner) in the kits! I gasped when you dropped the frame Chris!
Vroom gentleman, start your ingines wow that looks fast. Great job love it. Can't wait to build mine will look good on my shelf thank you for the preview have a great day
Wow. What a hot rod that is. So cool. The funny cars back in the day were so nice . Love the pain schemes .the flames make it look. So. Awesome . Nice job building that. . I love your detail work. ..excellent. . can't wait to see what you build next . Have a great day. .
Chris I Built This Kit in 79 Box Art Was "Hot Cop" I built it Without Light Bar & Decals because I liked it that Way. The Chassis Cage Assembled Perfectly Which Wasn't So With Actual Revell Funny Car kits (Cages Were Quite Fiddly to Assemble Super Glas it's been Reissued So I Can Build it Again
This was originally called "COP OUT" like an old LAPD black and White. I must have built this car 3 times. I bought it 1 time just for the police lights and engine. This is a fun model but it certainly is a challenge if you make it with posable steering. Cheers! Earl
That is one incredible Duster funny car Chris! Great work as always! Definitely a bummer that the chassis dropped on the floor... Glad the damage was minimal!
When you said the other day you were working on a car with a three tone paint scheme, I didn't anticipate it would be this one. Again it looks great and this is an interesting and intricate model to put together.
a great build. thank you. i don't like the car much though. more a advertisement for the fire dept. than serious race car. those roof lights might be blown off at 200+ mph....
Those tyres are a good idea but why haven't they changed to hard styrene, not that horrible polythene.😭 Also,if the tyre moulds are the same ,one tyre crinkles going forwards but the other side will crinkle backwards,as the parts are the same and not directional😭🤔. Not your fault your build looks great👍. 👍😎Pete 🤓
@@hpiguy I didn't mean your decals but the moulds themselves and that plastic they are made from.. I'm glad you didn't suffer any real damage dropping it👍

🔥Oh yea, love the Funny Cars!!!!! 🔥
Great job. Love the Funny cars from back in the day. They looked like the real cars. Boy how time changes things.🤔
So true!
Now Pro-stock looks like the Funny cars did.

Very nice build. You did a great job. Thanks for sharing.
That looks really good with those decals on there. Great job on this build.
I remember building that when it was produced as the cop out dragster.
"Keep Venice Nude"
if you are wondering - yes - that is a song from back then
anyway great build of a nice kit
I thought you were going to lose it on the frame build up but you recovered nicely.
Good job.
I like the top a different color.
Nice build.

That HEMI couldn't have found a better home. Nice build - It's a looker

Looks awesome!! I did mine a bit different as this kit gives you many options to go for! Great tips! Thanks! :)
Good test of the roll cage...oops! Great video Chris...might pick one up for our 24 hour build in January!

I am just starting out and there is no way i would do this kit. That frame rail. Crazy
Great video Chris, keep em coming I'll keep watching..
man you make it look so easy
Like how a drag cars has a Mars Skybolt lightbar
Looks awesome as usual, Chris.
That is one incredible Duster funny car Chris! Great work as always! Definitely a bummer that the chassis dropped on the floor... Glad the damage was minimal!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Have the kit in my pile to build.
Happy Saturday
Beautiful!
Love it!

Nice build / kit......would make a cool lookin ProMod
1 HOT 🔥🔥 Color Combo Chris 🏆🏆🏆🏆 Thanks For Sharing n GBA 🤗 Gary.
Excellent work and video, Chris.
That kit was originally tom Daniel's cop out funny car.
Maybe the black E6000 adhesive could be used to fill the tire seams a little better. I think I bought it at Hobby Lobby or maybe Ace.
Great job mate👍
#hpiguysworkshop ..excellent job. Sir, please activate subtitles. My English is terrible. greetings from a new follower from Brazil.
Wrinkling tyres... and no driver. Pure magic!
It's alive.....,
This is the original Mongoose kit from 1970❤
a great build. thank you.
i don't like the car much though. more a advertisement for the fire dept. than serious race car. those roof lights might be blown off at 200+ mph....
There was a real F/C called Chicago patrol 81 mustang driven by pat foster it had blue lights on the rooftop
i have a question what are you using the pipet for blowing on it just curious.
That chassis looked like a complete P.I.A.
I love how you can just get though any problems you may encounter . And get the builds done
Those tyres are a good idea but why haven't they changed to hard styrene, not that horrible polythene.😭 Also,if the tyre moulds are the same ,one tyre crinkles going forwards but the other side will crinkle backwards,as the parts are the same and not directional😭🤔.

I simply put the tire decal on the wrong side on one tire. They face correctly, it was my mistake.
@@hpiguy I didn't mean your decals but the moulds themselves and that plastic they are made from.. I'm glad you didn't suffer any real damage dropping it👍
What does hpiguys mean?
Yeah, I’d like to know, too. I’ll bet there’s a good story there
HPIGUYS means "happy guy's".
.is this a “best of” episode?
do you know exactly what hemi it is?
Saturday? Was this vid released by the algorythm too early?
Or late?
Chris was going to post on Saturday but body paint wasn’t dry, moved to Wednesday.
Does that glue have a bad smell my wife is sensitive of smells
I don’t like all the chrome.Will strip and use aluminum colors.
