Scalemates is a nice site.just not always 100 percent accurate..

That is an interesting kit for sure. I live in Denver, we hit 100° today (Tuesday) breaking a 690 day streak with no triple digit heat. Just glad we don't have humidity like you do in Georgia. That would be miserable! Great video, Matthew👍

Thrush turbo mufflers

Starters are on the drivers side all mopars

I did that 48 years ago I had that

76 or 77 that came out

The water pump doesn’t look like a 340. And the transmission is nothing like an A833. Not sure what engine it has.

That would be cool if you used the axle and wheels off the amt 70 coronet pro street car and maybe the hemi from it too. Just a thought.

Hi,try 109 @ 20% humidity.

What ever happened to the big foot wheels you gonna make them for sale?

Hey I don’t see it mentioned anywhere, but when you say you are putting painted pieces in your incubator, what exactly is your incubator? I’ve been looking for something to let parts dry and not get dusty so I was just curious.

I have never seen that kit. Looks pretty cool. Thanks for sharing

Putting models together as a kid I thought flash was just part of modeling, I clean it off and go on and think nothing of it.

I built this kit about 20 years ago and painted it a similar green to the model on the box. However, I built it as a stock '41 Plymouth with the flathead I-6. and skinny tires. I believe it was a slightly later issue, though.

Nice coverage of the models on display, but the demonstrated ignorance in the accompanying comments made me cringe.

Hey Matthew it’s been mid 80s low 90s in lower Michigan where I live really enjoy your videos I build big rigs

Cool kit ! I have been eyeballing some version of that kit for a while. Put some skinny's on the front and descent engine, Your MCW paint job and SHOW IT?? Nice video!!

Mid to upper 90s 70%humidity this past week in Massachusetts

98⁰ here, and gawd awful humidity here in So.ILL.

Here in Iowa it was in the high 90's° with the humidity it was 102°

I've got that one as well, and another one that I couldn't find on Scalemates....🤨🤔

Luka Cee has a couple of videos about saving old decals.

Not sure the exact temp. But here in the phoenix area, it was over 110

I'm not a big fan of 🔥 flames myself but do appreciate ghost flames to a point as long as thay aren't overwhelming

The last few days in southern Washington state has been in the mid to 70°s an hit 80°-81°for a day or 2

I'm up in East Tn..it's been low 90s but heat index is 100...air conditioning has been out for 3 weeks..getting a new one installed as we speak...

Didn't Sylvester Stallone drive a supped up '41 Plymouth in the 1986 action movie Cobra?

When you talk to yourself about going on too much about something, I’m wondering if I’m actually hearing your wife say the same thing to you. 😂 Come on man! Time to upgrade the camera finally! Peace and love. P.S. Any luck yet coming up with trailer tires and leaf springs for me?

I have several AMT catalogs, and a few product listings as well, from the 1970s. I did some sleuthing and the best I can tell, the first '41 Plymouth kit (T148) was released in mid-year 1976. It doesn't appear in the '76 catalog, but it's shown in the '77 catalog without any indication that it was a "NEW" kit for that year. The "Rocker" version shows up as "NEW" in the 1978 catalog, and was listed as a January 1978 release. ScaleMates is a fun little reference, but can't always be trusted. The first-issue kit could only be built stock; the "Rocker" could only be a street rod. They were getting away from multi-version (3-in-1) kits around then, probably thinking they could sell more total kits by separating the versions into their own kits. We had a heat wave up here in western New York last week, with three or four days of temps in the 90s. I know, you're thinking that that's nothing, but if it helps, we usually get high humidity on those days as well. Yesterday we had nice, dry, crisp Canadian air. Re: those tires, yes, I definitely remember ruining many of them by cutting that center piece out. You described the experience perfectly. And here I thought it was just me being a klutz.

Nice

i built it in the seventies as a gasser with blown hemi and flip front and tube axle looks a lot better than stock to me

I believe it's been hot everywhere. It's very tough. I like the 41 you built. I have a tough time putting anything away in boxes where I can't see them anymore. I do believe that kit came out about the 1977 timeframe

Nice kit Matt. I havecthid,exact same one. Paid $15. at an antique store about two years ago. I have one built. Great kit. Our temps were in high eighties with a nice breeze and not humid here in Pa. Thanks for sharing.

Cool kit. I just finished the Coke version.

Pushing 90° degrees here with our share of rain Matt. It's so bad right with the rain that they got flood gates running 24-7. Other then that, very cool kit to build. May have to get a older one now like what you have pal

Hey Matt. Could you get some of your prayer warriors together and pray for my RUclips buddy Dave. He has a channel it's called DaveMacBuilds. He just said on his channel that both his sister and his mom are dying of cancer. As a matter of fact his sister was diagnosed just a month ago and now they aren't expecting her to live maybe a week or two. She has brain cancer. Take care Matt

David R Lentz, Columbus, Ohio, USA (Tuesday, 25 June, 2024). UPDATED Hey, Matthew. I trust that you and yours all are well. I am looking for kits of sedans immediately prior to the Second World War, e.g., the 1942 Ford, Plymouth, etc., that the War Department had conscripted in prelude to the war effort as staff cars for military officers, federal government administrators, designers and engineers, manufacturing executives, etc. I understand that Ford after the 1941 model year had begun a complete redesign-body, drive train, chassis, etc.-so cars (and the model kits of them) prior to that time (1942) would be quite unlikely to be part of this new development, making them unworkable. A few aircraft model makers over the past few decades have produced combat aircraft kits in 1:24th-scale (one must look carefully, as the older ones from the 1970s are despairingly crude, even uselessly misshapen. By contrast, some of the newer kits of warbird replicas I read/hear are flabbergastingly accurate and astoundingly detailed!), and I would like to place beside them such a vehicle. Similarly, Hasegawa several years past had made a well-crafted, highly detailed model of the Willys Overland M-38 U.S. Army ¼-ton 4×4 light utility truck, the famous Jeep that crossed over into popular culture through television programmes, movies, newspapers, magazines, comic books, etc.

im in arizona. 120 today

I've had similar problems with my memory card and lost so much footage that I quit making vids for a while. What do you do with half a video? I've probably gone through a dozen cards . Let me know if you figure out what the issue was!

Nice kit..... your old build looks good 😎

Bad / difficult Revell kits that we all wish were really great - 1955-1957 Chevy Bel Airs with opening doors, any of the Ed Roth "True Scale" kits where the chrome parts tree shatters when you take the pieces off, The Anglia and Thames dragsters with opening doors, dragster 1941 Willys kits ... and I hate how Revell and Monogram want you to build your model their way with practically no custom parts in the kits. - But most of those kits I mention are now in Atlantis hands, so look out for them coming to your hobby shelves soon!

Hi there matten you can spay Clear over the Dekels mate yes them old tyres I got heaps of them shity old tyres I did use them because of that cutting them out I would go by More models for better tyre's in them yes I have made 5 of the models kits done kustom s ones with choptop channel them thanks you mate for a great video mate

106 where I live

I was in Las Vegas this afternoon where the thermometer in the dashboard of my van said it was 114F.

AMT did several single version kits like that one with only one build option. IIRC, Tim Boyd was the creator of the "Rocker" kit and the 340 V8/street rod parts. i had that kit years ago but must have sold or traded it, i don't have it anymore.

Not really one that looks at me. But I do have a Nemesis kit. Everyone seems to be able to build it except me!!! It's the AMT 37' Stovebolt Chevy. Since I was a kid I bet I've started 7, or 8 of them. I've to date never finished one. There's one in the box now. It's about half built. As always got discussed with it and boxed it back up!!!

Nice 🐎Mr. ED Says Just Have Fun Modeling

The Chrysler 340 has paired center exhaust ports like the Chevy equivalent. On this kit, they're equally spaced like a Ford small block. Odd.

I received that kit for my 12th birthday from my next door neighbors in 1977, with that exact box art. It was a really fun build.

dambit Matt you jus blew it out the water 😁🤩that kit is sweet 426 hemi 1200 under the hood tail dragger😂👍👍
