One for you and one for you!! Two surprise packages arrived at our house!! 

That was a cool haul! Have to love when a package shows up at the door!

Andrew is such an AMAZING young man. I would truly love to be able to shake his hand some day!

Awesome care package!!!

Hi Ruthie! Don't you just love surprise model kits!

Really cool models.

Great video Matthew. Always enjoy seeing you getting Ruthie involved. Please don’t sing again.

Mike Nesmith of the Monkees raced Baja offroad desert in the 70s and 80s. Class 8 Chevy squarebody stepwise pickup truck. Met him in Tech Inspection in Ensenada. Nice guy.

Nice Stash Add !

Nice of the guys to gift you and Ruthie these great kits. Many good people in our community. Have fun building and enjoy your weekend.

Wow, great gifts! I love how you guys in the US support one another.

Nice kits Matthew. That 57 Vette should build up nicely for Ruthie. I just done the 53 and it was a really nice kit

It was nice to see Ruthie again. Very nice haul, Lots of generous people in this hobby

Such pretty hands…😂😂

Awesome gifted kits!! Growing up I did not like the first and second gen Firebirds but really liked the Camaros of that era. Odd thing is that the major styling differences were the front and rear fascias and some other subtle styling ques. Ruthie assisting you reminded me of Vanna White on the Wheel of Fortune!

Nice stash adds cant never go wrong with a 1/24 Vette light pearl pink would be sweet 😁🤩scooter 😎ps if im not mistaken Kim over in Denmark kit bashed the monkey mobile w/the 66 GTO roof trunk ect🤪pss you should apologize 4 dissin Ruthie on camera what a prize best wishes on becoming a nurse 🤗

Very nice haul, good for the 2 of you. Heart sang barracuda Starting in 69 Plymouth had a sport trim package called just Cuda it was the high performance version of the barracuda and in 70 they changed the Body style. I love the early barracuda’s starting in 64 but my favorite body styles are the 70 and 71.

I really like that '69 Barracuda ! I have 8 kits from that particular series , I didn't know about that one though.

Great to have ruthie back on the videos

That Corvette is actually a really nice kit. I built one a couple months ago.......builds up really nice

Andrew said your welcome. He said, "Ruthie is a good builder and her nails are pretty." Thank you, Mathew and Ruthie, for being funny and very geneuon. Love watching your videos. Andrew tells me when you have new videos out.

Cool stash addes Matthew resin can be very tricky to work with I have built quite a few resin big rigs always enjoy your videos

It was Heart

That's so cool nice stash adds and there's great people out there.

Matt Yes Big Difference Cuda & Barracuda Barracuda Was Base Model equipped With 225 Slant Six or 318 V8. Term CUDA Refers To An EXtreme Performance Model Started in 1969 When Cuda's Could Have 383 or 440 Big Blocks Under the Hood ( No Cuda's Had 225s Or 318 Engines). Walt Ronk

Nice package of kits, enjoy the builds 😊

Those are some great gifts happy for you both

Wow! Some great gifts! You must be more of a country music person. Yes, Heart sings Barracuda. You need to have Ruthie watch The Monkees! Peace and love.

Thanks Matt, to you and your Daughter. Ands thanks for educating me on the History of Monogram/Revell 1/24 story. I was Always baffled when starting this hobby up, Why were some Revell kits 1/24 scale. I figured it was Before Revell Germany, But know I know. So Thanks

Datsun truck is nice kit, lots of extras in there including a camper top.

Hey Matthew, Hey Ruthie! Neat kits, you both got there. I noticed the new intro music, Matt. I like it, I think it fits very well. I recently did some channel rebranding of my own. When I get them in, I'll send you and Ruthie a sticker and maybe a kit. Keep on with that college, Ruthie. I also go Monday Tuesday and Thursday, but for aviation. We need a lot of good phlebotomists in this country. Have a good night, y'all, and hang in there, we'll get over this humidity eventually! Matthew, let me know if you're on the lookout for any particular kits, I'm going to an IPMS show next week, and we can wheel and deal with the fellers in St. Louis.

Barris didn’t build the Monkeemobile. It was actually built by Dean Jeffries. I think George Barris bought the rights to the name at some point. Arctic Cat also had a snow dragster with a Ford Boss 302 called the “Boss Cat”

Those are some cool kits. 👍

My favorite year Corvette. I may have built that kit in a revell issue. If it's the same mold, it's a real nice kit.

Nice Stash Add Ons

i wish that 1970 firebird came with the lower end bodywork, i remember when my dad bought his first new car, a 1970 pontiac firebird esprit, no hood or body scoops

The mother of Mike Nesmith from the Monkees invented White Out....iirc.

heart

ALRITEEEE I GOT 1ST LIKE. LOL. Hey Matthew, I just ordered my first resin prints from you. got it in 4 days and that was over the Holiday weekend, GREAT SERVICE and super nice parts. You'll be in my bank account a lot more. Keep up the good work. .P.S. have you ever thought of doing some Rochester Quadrajet G.M. carbs?

One of my fellow Downriver Model Car club members works for a guy who owns one of the two original Monkee mobiles.

Yes Heart 1977 BARRACUDA

Dad… quit embarrassing me I listen to Cardi B.. Dad have you ever heard her hit song WAP?? Dad what that song… I’d rather not say father!!!

Hey Mathew, how does Ruthie draw blood. Does she just stab you with those nails and catch the blood.lol. Just kidding Ruthie nice nails. Mathew you must be proud of her.

1970 they went from A bodies to E bodies hence the name change!!!

RU-vid just discarded a long Datsun truck edit to my Nesmith comment. So I'm starting over. Nissan is the corporate name. Always was. Nissan translates to English as "The one who is Number 2". In Japanese culture, in all things, Number 1 is God. The best any human can achieve is Number 2. Thus Nissan means the best. When Nissan started exporting they were concerned that others, particularly Americans, would not understand this cultural aspect of their name and think less of them for being #2. So they went with a name that does not translate. Datsun. It has no other meaning. It is a name only. By 1980 they figured out that the Americans didn't care to translate Nissan so they dropped Datsun and went with Nissan. The 720 body is this angular style. 1979 US market trucks had "DATSUN" stamped in the tailgate. 1980s through 85s got "NISSAN" stamped tailgates. That Aoshima (accent on the 'o') kit is a lowered 4wd. Seems kinda strange, but I suppose they wanted fender flares over wider tires..Monogram also did a kit of the 720 4wd, sometimes released under the Revell name, but it's 1/24. The initial release came with decals to do the factory sponsoredBaja race team trucks. But aside from a street "show bar", it has no equipment to make it an offroad race truck.

I have this model car and George Barris was a very good friend and he died in 2015 so if you got any of his model car kits don't put them together
