    Bobby Allison’s 1982 Race Winning Buick Regal in 1/24th scale includes 100+ parts, Power Slide decals and REAL electroplated chrome!
    Robert Arthur Allison (born December 3, 1937) is a former American professional stock car racing driver and owner. Named one of NASCAR's 50 greatest drivers,[1] he was the 1983 Winston Cup champion and won the Daytona 500 three times in 1978, 1982, and 1988. His two sons, Clifford and Davey Allison, followed him into racing, and both died within a year of each other.
    Following his victory at Daytona, Allison's car was inspected and was found to have lost its rear bumper, which appeared to have fallen off in a slight bump between two cars at the beginning of the race, causing a multi-car accident. Tests were performed on the car without its rear bumper and it was discovered that the car was faster and handled better without the bumper (better underside aerodynamics and over 70lbs. lighter). It has been claimed that Allison and his crew modified the bumper so that it would fall off easily at the beginning of the race. NASCAR never fined him and the victory stands. Allison and his crew denied the allegations. In the Allison biography Miracle, Allison explained that NASCAR inspectors told the DiGard crew to move the bumper on its mounting points. The team simply tack-welded the bumper back on at an acceptable position, but "forgot" to properly secure it.
    During the course of his career, Bobby Allison accumulated 84 credited victories and 2 uncredited victories making him fourth all-time, tied with Darrell Waltrip. He also won the Daytona 500 in 1978, 1982 and 1988, finishing one-two with his son, Davey Allison. In 1972 he was voted national Driver of the Year after winning ten races and taking 11 poles, including a record 5 straight. He was NASCAR Winston Cup Champion in 1983[1], winning the Driver of the Year award again while driving for DiGard Racing. The 1982 Daytona 500 was fraught with controversy that became known as "Bumpergate". He also won the Firecracker 400 in 1982, making Allison the fourth driver to sweep both Sprint Cup point races at Daytona in the same year. Of note, after Allison accomplished this, no driver repeated such a feat until Jimmie Johnson did it in 2013.
    Allison ran in the Indianapolis 500 twice, with a best finish of 25th in 1975. His NASCAR team owners included DiGard, Junior Johnson & Associates, and Roger Penske, for whom Allison scored four of the five NASCAR wins for American Motors' Matador. The other AMC victory was accomplished by Mark Donohue also racing for Penske in 1973 at Riverside. He raced in NASCAR as a driver/owner of an AMC Matador
    Early in the 1979 Daytona 500, Bobby, his brother Donnie and rival Cale Yarborough tangled early in the race. Donnie led the second half of the race while Yarborough made up his lost laps through caution periods. By the time there were 8 laps to go, Yarborough reached second place and set his eyes on passing Donnie. Bobby was two laps down and was 1/4 mile ahead of the two rivals as Yarborough and Donnie crashed on the final lap. Richard Petty went by and won the race. Bobby passed the wreckage, finished the race, and on his way back around Bobby stopped to check on his brother and make sure he wasn't hurt. He pulled over to the wreck site to offer Donnie a ride to the garage area. Cale Yarborough ran up to Bobby and, according to Bobby, Cale was yelling that Bobby was at fault and hit him in the face with his helmet-cutting his nose and his lip. Bobby climbed out and a fist-fight broke out.
    This fight led to a $6,000 fine for each Yarborough and the Allison brothers.

    The 1980s Nascar cars have left a lasting impression that will never be replicated. I hope these model car companies are prosperous and continue because they sure are making some great kits. We are in the midst of a new hayday if you will, of model car building. You can not find any older kits cheap anymore, just about every kit on ebay has bids. It is a good time to be in the hobby. Thanx Chris!

    Oh My GOD , you hit that 1 on the head there . I had over 8 of those kits. I was right into NASCAR in the 80's and love those kits. I used to have mix my own Testors paints to get the proper colors. You didn't get the stripes a lot of the time back then. I'm surprised you never built these kits as a young lad, I feel old now!!!!!

    • @hpiguy
      @hpiguy  4 роки тому

      Thanks Earl, I was only about 6-10 years old when Dad was doing them, they were out of my skill set and by the time I was old enough the cars were more of the 90s style rounded off cars and I wasn't that into them.

    Thank you for taking the time to do your reviews and builds. I enjoy your presentation style. I am rounding the bend on 60, and during the past year started modeling after 45 years. My father and I would build them together. My first grandchild just arrived and I look forward to modeling with him one day. You tips and tricks are all valuable and extremely helpful. Not only are they useful, they help me think outside the proverbial box. Again, thank you and I look forward to future builds and reviews.

    I use to love to build race cars as street cars, leave the window nets out put in 2 seats, plates, etc... I dont remember whos car it was but i built a late 70's thunderbird (aerobird) and painted it petty blue. I liked race cars cause you got better detail on engines

  • @jamestaylor5143

    Chris, great build again. If I may make a suggestion, maybe the roll cage would have look great if it was green. When you were talking about your Dad building kits when you were a kid, I also remember my Dad doing the same time. I'm 52 now and in 1975 he built me and 75 Nova hatchback, and did I love the car, he also built a F-5E Tiger2. He painted the instrument panel one side red the other green, I thought that was so cool. Chris thanks for those good memories, it been a long time since I thought about that. Keep you the great work. Best channel on UA-cam!

    Love how you bang em out!
    Always wanted that big scale Jaguar kit. I think it had roll up windows? Don’t know if they re-released it or not though? Even creepy ones like Visible man and woman or the Aruora(?) classic monsters were awesome too! My bedroom was weird as hell! No wonder I never got layed😁

    A little tip... I kept breaking suspension loose trying to press on wheel package as a whole unit. So, I press the wheel backs on the axles and then add tires and wheel fronts. Also, I put a dab of glue on the axle on the inside to keep the wheels from rolling. Hope this helps out someone.

      Thanks, I have more coming up. It goes in streaks. One month the companies issue lots of GM cars, then Fords, etc. Currently it's a lot of G bodies, you'll see some cool ones coming up!

  • @joe6096
    @joe6096 4 роки тому +2

    Sweet build as always! This does bring back memories. One of my first builds when I was about 7 or 8, so this would have been around 1984-85, was the Darrell Waltrip Mountain Dew version of this Regal - which I hope Salvinos has in the pipeline because I will certainly buy it. At that time I wasn’t painting my kits yet and of course my skill in quality assembly wasn’t great either, but this does bring back great memories! As I got older and built more kits from different model manufacturers I always had a soft spot for the Monogram company and thought their instructions were among the easiest and clearest to follow in the business. As a side note - this was from when NASCAR ruled and close to the end of the “Stock Car” part of the acronym. When the G bodies went front wheel drive and V6 in 1988 there was nothing stock about the cars anymore. People our generation and older are going to love these reissue kits and buy them - because NASCAR ain’t what it used to be.

      I know of a few re-issues coming up and I know they read these comments so I'm sure all kinds of ideas are in the pipe and we'll see so much cool stuff coming up!

  • @jeremy2033
    @jeremy2033 4 роки тому

    That car was NEVER released as a Bobby Allison kit, DW was the only released kit. Those Monogram molds according to Jim Rogers half owner of this company told me as well as others that they took Monograms old molds and enhanced the entire molds, updated glass and tires. So get to buying folks!

      I prefer Bondene and Tamiya Thin myself but all liquid glues work fine.

    Chris, trust me those old Monogram kits were sometimes horrible. I have had to heat bend alot of warpage in those old kits i can't explain. Salvanio JR done a 100% better job on those reissues

  • @1955mouse
    @1955mouse 4 роки тому

    another awesome one chris, the only thing I didn't like was all the flash, you'd think as much as they charge for these kits, they could at least clean up the molds, and remove the flash!

    • @hotrodpop1973
      @hotrodpop1973 4 роки тому +1

      Ya gotta give a little to get a little... These molds are incredibly expensive, massive, and decades old. Recreating them would probably put the cost through the roof. Trust me... worked in a metal stamping shop in the '70's, and when I messed up a die, the boss screamed "DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH YOU JUST COST US!!!"

    • @hpiguy
      @hpiguy  4 роки тому

      Thakns Mouse.
      Yeah, the pressures involved in the injection and the ages of the mold, you'll see a bit of flash, but it really only takes a swipe with a blade to remove it.
      A space in a 35 year old mold the size of 1/4 a human hair will create flash.

    • @hpiguy
      @hpiguy  4 роки тому

      I would love to, I've sent Tamiya my past Tamiya kit build videos and they loved them, but currently they have no interest in sending me any kits, so I'll be sticking with my current cool sponsors and maybe Tamiya and others will join the fun as we go!

  • @glennsloggett1876
    @glennsloggett1876 4 роки тому

    Nice looking build Chris. Could you give us a list of paints used and the clear for the dull coat on the chrome. I love that companys are re-releasing these older kits so we can get a second crack at building them. Companys have to realize the big demand there is on older kits, I'd love to see the early 1970s pro stock kits re-released.

    • @hpiguy

    Hi Chris:
    Thank you for making these videos. As I said, I FINISHED my Salvinos JR Gatorade Buick kit with a lot of help from your great video!
    Here is my question. I used the Rustoleum 2X black primer on the roll cage/chassis assembly for my kit. What I noticed was that it really didn't feel "dry" or "hard" even after drying for a full day in very low humidity. You had indicated in your videos that it dries in 30 min. in your shop. Have you encountered this with this paint ? It seemed like even after several days it felt "tacky" to the touch. Thanks for any guidance you could provide.

    • @hpiguy
      @hpiguy  3 роки тому

      If my primer feels 'wet' I just hit it with the heat gun and you can see it go flat and dry. After hundreds and hundreds of these videos, no issues yet.
      Make sure you shake it well, and lay down light coats.

  • @jefffritsche9974
    @jefffritsche9974 3 роки тому

    Hi Chris: I just FINISHED my Salvinos JR Bobby Allison Gatorade Buick -- many thanks to your great video ! I was wondering - the sidewalls on the tires on your model appear to have a bit more of a "luster" to them -- mine are a bit more "gray" ? and not a nice black luster. Did you treat them with something ? Thanks !

    • @hpiguy

    Looks sweet when it''s built.. those decals are beautiful! I can't get this Modge Poge glue here in Egypt, and I was wondering if I can use white glue instead? Are they similar enough that you can use either? Thanks!

    • @hpiguy
      @hpiguy  4 роки тому +1

      Yes, white glue will work but it's not as thick.
      'Gel gloss medium' for art is very similar to Mod Podge. Maybe you can get that at an art store?

    • @hishamaziz3282
