I'm drooling, so impressive. Hey I had a question about that cranberry Hardrock you own... I just picked one up but have never seen another one with the same font. Where did you get yours from? Does it identify as a 1993?
Im building the same kit but mine is the Ramchargers version by Lindberg. I thought the kit was very well done. It's my first Lindberg. My only complaint is with the windshield and rear window. They seem to stick out way too far and it looks a little odd, but as far as fit and finish of the parts on the trees, mine had minimal flash and was well detailed. The most flash was on the wheel rim tree. The hood prop cut out on the drivers side of the inner fender was molded incorrectly (the mounting pin was molded ass backwards) but that was easily fixed. Overall I thought it is a good kit and it went together pretty well.
I have that kit but never built it because of the single exhaust and wrong dash. The good news is Round two has corrected this and added the correct decals. Make mine B5 blue white stripes and blue interior.
Wow, this brings back a lot of memories! My first real mtb was a 1999 GF Kaitai that had a bright yellow paintjob similar to you're Piranha. It was a great bike until it was stolen. When I was younger I thought the GF Joshua and its big brother the Level Betty were the coolest bikes I had ever seen. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! You have one like this? They’re very rare from what I gather. I sold this one to a fellow bike lover 2 years ago, but wish I still had it…beautiful bike.
Haha you’re not lying! The fit and finish was awful. I didn’t spend much time trying to perfect it, because the kit overall wasn’t worth much, but overall it’s not too bad.
Just found a 2000 Grand Cherokee with the 4.7 and only 80,000 miles with little to no rust. My 2010 got rear ended and that's what I'm gonna replace it with!
I still have this model in the box not assembled. I used to own this truck and thought it would be cool to have the model but never got around to putting it together.
My dad used to have a WJ Grand Cherokee when I was a kid, and me and my family consider it to be one of the most comfortable cars we've ever owned. This is my story about it: It was July 2010, and we were on our way in my mum's Vauxhall Zafira to pick up my dad’s new car to replace his old Vauxhall Frontera, a 2002 (52-reg) Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with the 4.7-litre Chrysler PowerTech V8, finished in a dark metallic blue with a black leather interior. While we were driving the last few hundred yards to the seller’s house to collect DU52XKW, I caught first sight of it in the windscreen, and after we pulled up at the seller’s house, we got out of our car and went over to inspect it. The main reason why me and my family consider it to be one of the most comfortable cars we’ve ever owned, and why I consider it to be one of my favourite cars my family has ever had, was the seats, as they were some of the most comfortable of any car I had ever, ever sat in - from the moment 10-year-old me sat down on them for the first time, I was in heaven as they were just oh-so-comfy - it wasn’t so much a car as a giant sofa with wheels and an engine, the Americans really knew how to make proper car seats back then! Since then, the only car I’ve sat in that has even come close to how comfortable the seats in the Jeep were was an Infiniti M saloon (sedan in the US) I sat in while me and my family were at the Driffield Motor Show in 2013. When we got home, I thought it was a much better car than his old Frontera, as it was more practical being a 5-door, and much more comfortable too. The ultimate test for our Jeep came in August 2010, when we went on a caravan holiday to Great Yarmouth in it. During the extremely long and tedious 150+ mile drive, it proved to be well up to the challenge of hauling our Swift Conqueror caravan to the campsite we were going to be staying at, thanks to the incredible pulling power of that V8 - even if it did make the car a TREMENDOUS gas hog and went through gas like there was no tomorrow, but it did make a very nice noise which we called the “V8 roar”. It also proved to be a very comfortable car to travel in as it ate up the miles, mainly because of how unbelievably comfortable and plush the seats were. On the way there, I watched one of my Top Gear DVDs on the aftermarket DVD headrests that we’d had installed in it, while my sister watched one of her Hello Kitty DVDs. One day during our holiday, after we went to the nearby Tesco, while my mum was loading up the boot (trunk in the US) with shopping, my dad decided to “V8-roar” her by revving the engine as she packed the shopping away - she must have got a bit of a surprise when he did that! Unfortunately, our holiday was cut short due to heavy rain the following day, and even though we only had the Jeep for 2 months, I still consider it to be one of my favourite cars out of all the cars my family has ever owned.
Probably best for professional mechanics who won't stop breaking them by opening them up thinking they know, then making RU-vid videos about how shitty the rachet is for breaking.
Professional mechanics aren’t using Stanley my friend. And although when this came out years ago, it was pretty neat for having 120 teeth at such a low price point, the reality is it didn’t last 3 months of hobby use in my home box before the pawls jammed up. SK, Proto, Snap On, Cornwell, Matco etc…those are what anyone in the field should look at.
Nice build Jon! I bought the round 2 re-pop, called the MPC 74' Road Runner. It has dual exhaust molded in and somewhat of a rear end to install now. It still has the 440 six-pack. Thanks for the video 😎👍
The four dollar dollarama bag, is half size. Needs to be double this size. And needs to have a shoulder strap, worthy of carrying thirty pounds of weight. ( I wouldn’t carry more than that… ) this bag has only half enough pockets. And needs more internal pockets. All tools on the outside will spill out.
I like what you've done to the model and the hints and tips are very helpfull to making a better model.👍😃. Gets you a new sub with best wishes from jolly old England 👍😎Pete 🤓
Love the car. Never liked Foose' hoop-dee routine on cars nor his two tone silver baloney - but I like Chip, go finger. When I had this model in my past life I swapped my Cuda rallye wheels n meats on it which on the old Monogram Muscle Machine version the tires are ever so slightly big. It stanced this Coronet out fine and no wagon wheel hoop-dee, lol. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@jonmopar7917 Upshot is decades later right now on top of my fridge are 2 boxes, the Monogram HemiCuda '71 with N96 Shaker hood - finished 1 billion years ago, chrome trim painted old school with tiny sable brush, rear leafs suspended by ball point pen springs lol, don't laugh, it bounces ! Just don't attach rear of leafs - slip 1-2 mm cut pen spring on end like a shackle - bikkity bam instant trick suspension lol. It is Dark metallic red like my real life 'Cuda was. The 2nd box has the "Street Machine" hardtop '71 'Cuda with twin Power Bulge hood (mine had that) painted nash bridges yellow with window & fender moldings again hand painted silver, but not quite finished from say 30 years ago...but guess what I must replace? And guess what model - hint: the Foose '67 Coro I DON'T have any more HAD that thing I must replace? So, I'll be hunting down some 1:24 Rallye wheels and hopefully Goodyear Polyglas not Firestone tampo'd meats. Some day. lol 👀
The Gaahleri Swallowtail and 68 are such excellent airbrushes. And at a very reasonable price point. Great product! Cool that you got one with your name Rex!
Glad to find Your channel, thanks for sharing, red interior and black looks very good, I really love stock cars with even small engines it makes them look soo nice. Subscribed!!
Thanks so much for the subscription! I modelled this one after a real barnfind I saw. Although 426 cars get all the attention, with a 383 4bbl, these were basically the same setup as the road runner that came in 68. Thanks for watching!
@@jonmopar7917 do you know how i can lern all american engines names. Is there any site. Im not from USA and hard for me to figure out what engines were in wich car. Maybe there is site with list?
There is no site that I know of which lists every US engine on one single page, but you can either look at specs for each of the popular American cars, or search topics on google like “List of Chrysler engines on Wikipedia” or “List of Ford Engines on Wikipedia” and so on…do this to read up on all the different engines produced by each Auto Manufacturer. Have fun with the research!
Thanks for sharing that is an awesome car as we have an 86 Chrysler LeBaron convertible in our garage right now it's black with a golden terrier and we bought it from the original owners in Florida we've owned the car for about 22 years now and have no intention of getting rid of it
I can’t recall size, but I believe the Sasquatch, Big Foot, Wolverine and Havoc all shared pretty much the same frame specs for 2007, so hopefully that helps.
