It was nice to see you at the show! I was just leaving as you were arriving. By the looks of it, I should've hung around. The party was just getting started. lol. This is by far my favorite show in the area. It's always a good time but this one seemed to stand out. Maybe it was because of all the of the lockdowns and postponements but people were ready to come out, support and be seen. I couldn't believe how much talent showed up. It was loaded with mind blowing builds, amazing builders and lots of shop talk. You can't come here and go home empty handed. I always find something to add to the stash. There's something for everyone. Anyone that hasn't seen this show before has to put it on the list. It's an absolute must see.
Some great models... it always blows my mind how the best builders typically have the best immagination. Great ideas... the service truck... love that one...
Great show coverage and congrats to all the winners & participants!! The BEST line of the entire video was: 'R u ready?? No, I have to pee!!!!' EPIC!!!
Right on!! You Arizona Mafia guys really took home some hardware! 🏆 🏆🏆🏆 Congratulations to your guys! Wish I would have run over and checked it out. Thanks for the great video!
How it all started for me. I started making models from 7 years old up till the time I went into the service at 18. I had a boxes and boxes of bodies and parts but I only had one car together at a time. And it always was a 57 Chevy Now at 68 I have a big 57 that is now going through its final rendition before the end of internal combustion engines. Its going to be one wild gasser. And I'll be " Driving Miss Crazy" . My last rendition is on my channel its pretty wild and a lot of fun drag racing it and It all started with a model. I would of loved to see these models. Thanks for posting this and the models are unbelievable.
I like the sound of that next rendition, Randy. I already loved your car. I'm subbed to you. You got on my buddy, Tim's channel, Throttle Power. Over at the Tri Five Nats. I'm thinking about going to that with him next year. Let me know if you are ever in Phoenix for an event. Love your car. I want a 57 so bad.Thanks for watching, Budd.
Just another comment if I may...Thanks for taking us all along with you on this showing. I would love to attend one of these someday. I loved all the footage of incredible builds and interactions with the builders themselves. Interesting as most there are older adults, no surprise for sure. I really liked the interview of the beautiful red truck builder, little younger and interesting how high tech making of 3D parts is now here. I think there should be a category of 15 and younger builds to help promote more younger age interest. Too many great builds to even try to say this one is best of show. That 69 RS Camaro convertible was a masterpiece, the filled in rear window, candy paint Impala very cool and impressive. List of wow builds were endless!
Beautiful builds . If There's one very important thing in this hobby that I've learned is that you have to have patience. You can't rush it because they will look like crap.You have to take your time . The end results are so worth it. These builds take months but you see the results. Amazing.
Fantastic models! The "World's fastest van" gets the "Coolest " car award from me. Overall, my favorite was the "Flash Gordon" Great video, thank you! These guys are phenomenal! The details and paints are incredible!
Thx for the walk through an the interviews as well as the shout outs for the links to the businesses that carry aftermarket parts! An where we can order from the websites!
Fantasic models ,the Cyclops chopper trike model is a copy of the real thing that was built in Australia in the seventies and it makes a brief appearance in Mad Max 1 and Street Choppers magazine . One day I will return to building models again, great video!
Oh No Kidding! That is why it attracted me and looked so familiar. If I would have noticed the Galaxie tail lights. I would have gotten it. Thanks for the update.
Awesome vid, Luka! Don't know if that Petty Blue '65 Plymouth Barracuda in your opening shot is one of the real deals or just a tribute car in honor of King Richard (his original cars had eight chromed velocity stacks sticking up through the front hood and different sponsor decals on the rear quarter panels), but for anyone out there who wasn't aware of Petty's one year stint in NHRA match drag racing, Petty left NASCAR for one year (1965) in favor of NHRA drag racing when NASCAR's Bill France decided to ban the Chrysler 426-cid hemi power plant due to its dominance up through the 1964 season. Petty then decided to run a 426-cid hemi-prepped Barracuda for the 1965 NHRA drag racing season instead. It was a one year stint only, as The King returned to stock car racing in 1966 after France rescinded the ban on the 426-cid Chrysler hemi engines, due mainly to a significant drop in fan attendance at the NASCAR events during the 1965 racing season. 😄👍🇺🇸
I’m in awh over the creativety some poeple have this is exactly why I love building models I collect hotwheels but love to build model cars and see others workmanship. Thanks for sharing much appreciated and ur thumbnail is my favorite
Hell of a video and great turn out for the mafia gang! Glad to see a good amount of awards went to Phoenix. When are you gonna build some new builds and take them to contests? You gotta represent the mafia gang too!
I have 4 plans to have there next year. This show got me so amped up about model car building. Along with getting with my old buddy, Jim Bunch. The absolute highlight of my day.
Just found your channel and subscribed I have the 73 barracuda Johan snap together kit and built a one of a kind cuda with centerlines and vynal roof cut out the hood and installed monogram t/a inner fenders and 440 with 727 tranny body's in rare honda tihitian green rubbed out and clear coated the model was made in the 90's and the wide masking tape I used to make the vynal roof still hasn't moved in all this time you'll never see another one like it the lad I was inspired to do models with was Gordy greakin his models are famous around the ottawa area here in canada he taught me how to spray a model with light coats and rub each coat out with tooth paste and then clear coat he was big in ottawa modelers club znd was once president old Bill tacaberry ex president has a wicked collection and some of Gordy special customized models bills die cast collection alone was big but he had models I've never seen before poor old Gordy and his squaw wife got into drinking and fought over the last case of beer and Gordy did 20 years for murder he's out now but ive never saw him again was a good guy
As a kid I used to love that weekly series Mannix , I know it sound weird but that show and shows like Barretta , probably spelled that wrong , but I always watched shows like that as a kid. Of course back in those days we didn’t have a lot of channels to choose from until cable finally came to our state and city. Cool model. 👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️
I remember growing up in the 80s you could buy a lot of these models at Wallmart, they would have a isle of them, they were like 5 to 10 dollars back then! I’m sure they don’t sell them anymore! I remember buying cabover semi trucks, 4x4 pickups, etc back then! I had a Dodge 4x4 pulling truck! These things are expensive now!
This pandemic is the cause of this. I got sticker shock when I recently just got back in this hobby and I couldn't believe the prices. I remember just a few years back walking into an ac Moore with a 40 percent coupon and getting awesome kits for under ten bucks
I still have my General Lee. Still in the box. Unfortunately, I just had to open it a few years ago. I took it out and looked it over, and put it all back in... but its all there, and everything including the box is mint. I keep it in a closed cabinet to protect it from sunlight. Whats it worth? Also, I'd love to find a 73 Lemans or GTO. The closest I've ever found is a 73 Grand Am.
Fantastic Video L.C.BBAAAADDASSSS Builds On The Tables .Wish I Knew Who Built The Jet Powered 69 Topless Camaro, FRICKIN BITCHEN CAR !!! Thanks For L.C. n God Bless All. P.S. HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO Dave For B.O.S. and ALL Others as Well.🤗🤗🤗
