I love this build I am currently building a fleet of factory stock Mopars! I have a tip for you Chris when you have to put a mirror on a painted car, before the car is painted I like to use a number 71 drillbit and a short piece of a sewing pin, drill corresponding holes in the mirror and the car where the mirror goes before you paint and then once it’s all painted it’s a snap to put the mirror exactly where you want it. Plus you can hold the mirrors at the end of a pin clamped between a clothes pin to paint it.
I totally agree! Yeah, my idea is it's an office guy's car, he wants the six pack power but not the flashy impact color looks when he takes a client out for fondue and scotch. ;)
What I really like about your videos is you get right down to business. There’s no stammering and tangents about why you didn’t get started when you wanted to. Your camera is always in focus and steady. You should have a class for other UA-camrs on how to produce a video.
I agree. I'd love to know how to do this..I just made my 1st one with my phone camera and have no idea what I'm doing . I really like how these vids are edited together with sound track and wording with such professionalism . Like the camera angle ..it's like he's has it mounted to his head and we can watch the build from his perspective almost like seeing it through his eyes ..
Thanks man! No plans to give classes on making videos but I'm glad you like to watch them! I promise each video will be about the subject at hand, the model, the tool, etc. Take care!
I have been modelling mostly military kits for the last 2 years and suddenly i got interested in cars as well so started looking around to know a little bit better how to build them and there was your channel and I DO LOVE IT!!!. You have here one more fan! I love your videos, your technique, the use of cans! and how easy you make it look and of course the result! i like your builds a lot! thanks for your time doing this videos!
That is a very nice build. Thanks for the painting tips. I like the way you highlighted the frame against the underbody by using a different shade of black. The kit looks very well molded. Please keep the paint tips coming. Thank you.
A married buddy of mine bought an orange with black laser stripe over c pillar 440 six barrel Road Runner back in the day when we were kids - with the hood with the little Air Grabber that was on the tree in your 440 model here. He used to drive it around with the two outer carbs disconnected to save money - like my 'Cuda we were getting about 7 mpg average if misbehaving. But then Wife happened and the 'Runner done had to run....away. I like your color choice - doesn't hurt my feelings anyway!! Good Job! d:D 🚗
Thats great Chris, so glad you built the stock version with those wheels, This is how I wanted to build it but couldnt find any images. Its now in my basket 😋 Lovely colour too, and v interesting how one can vary the shade as you go. Never stop learning here 😉 Stunning finish Chris, I need to see if I can still find some Future. And I think I will leave those corner lip spoilers off. Great build, thanks for the inspiration
Love this body style myself. One of my favorites. An In-Violet over white one, 440+6 lived around the corner from me when I was a kid. I hope it still exists. What a car.
Gotta say the interior is my favorite part of this model. Crisp molding makes the perfect background for your paint choices- all that "woodgrain" is dead-on and the whole thing looks ready to sit in.
Great build of a nice kit. You always do great work with the builds, paint, and, especially, the details. I love your videos, and the advice you give. Keep up with the great work.
Another lovely build. I never had any luck with Krylon paints. It's been many years since I last sprayed a model car with Krylon paint. I used to use their Fusion line with decent results. Takes a lot of clear to get a good, glossy finish. I like the copper metallic. I might try that someday. Thanks.
It is an awesome kit, the original pre-fast and furious version came with the airgrabber hood, but not the 440 hood, so this is an improvement. I built mine with some changes to reflect my actual 72 Sattelite, and it was easy enough thanks to the kits details to add heater hoses, fuel lines, sparkplug wires etc, the kit itself has all the space needed to easily do this. I want to get this reboxed version and build it again now! Great build, kutgw!
I love your channel, I always look before I go and get my own model kits you make it look fun and I enjoy the storyline when you show the model kits 👍👍
Man, what a cool build! I was wondering about the contents of this kit, so I really appreciate your doing this one. BTW- I really think you chose your color well on this one; looks just like Mopar paint code L6 Aztec Gold. My dad had a '71 Polara in this color. A lot of GTXs got painted in these "sedate" colors because the older guys buying them had money and didn't necessarily want to show off. Us kids couldn't talk dad into a high-impact color! I would love it if they had included the optional elastomer front bumper to do a proper factory body-color front end along with the rear window louvers; both rare options. The only thing that baffles me is the hood stripes. In the box picture they look white (?). Guess I'll have to obtain different ones if I want to do a different color combo.
Yeah, my idea is it's an office guy's car, he wants the six pack power but not the flashy impact color looks when he takes a client out for fondue and scotch. ;) Thanks!
Agreed with the notion of liking the "off colors" vs. the High Impact colors.. (I like them all but never discounted the browns, bronzes and the like..! ).
Yeah, my idea is it's an office guy's car, he wants the six pack power but not the flashy impact color looks when he takes a client out for fondue and scotch. ;)
Great build Chris! The music selection was great especially when you started priming the parts. It felt like I was in the garage working on the actual car haha
Nice color choice..this is more of what I remember seeing back then when these were fairly new. I don't ever recall seeing any in those bright glo colors in person at the time ..but lots of browns, coppers, gold's, greens and blues...closest one was my uncle's red 70 challenger.
I just got this one, and was thinking boy it would be great if you did this one on the workshop. Now I found out you not only did one. You did one a month ago when I was obviously not paying attention lol.
Ok I loved getting Down to the music in the paint I’m watching this video building my own model 😂 i don’t know if it’s the greatest but definitely not done but I like it
I bought a brand new. 1971 Plymouth Satellite Sebring in 1971. Not as hot as the GTX, but I liked it. Same body style, just a smaller engine and different badges. I traded it in, for a 1974 Plymouth Satellite Sebring Plus, pewter color, black interior. The only problem I had with the 71 was, when it rained, the taillights would get water in them. Then for about a week you had water sloshing around in them. I ordered new ones twice, had the same problem. The Plymouth dealer tried to fix the problem, but never had success. ,.
Chris, you can attach the front clip the body and paint as a unit, with no assy' problems later, I did so back in the '80s when this tool first saw the light of day in the Monogram Muscle car lineup
VERY NICE! My favorite Mopar color is a Hi-Impact color--Plum Crazy--but that bronze color with the gold hood stripes and the "Old Man Tan" interior looks just so darn classy!
Right on! Yeah, my idea is it's an office guy's car, he wants the six pack power but not the flashy impact color looks when he takes a client out for fondue and scotch. ;)
@@hpiguy I also love the little stories you come up with behind your cars, especially the beaters. They're very imaginitive. My cars don't have much lore past "this is what I'd want it to look like if I could have the real one."😁
I've always kind of liked them years ago Roadrunner GTX is a satellites especially with the 440 six barrel those were some cool cars in fact the first two years of that body style was the last 2 years that you could get the 426 Hemi and those
Great build Chris. You are an inspiration!! I'm wondering if you could tell us what type of "craft paint" you are using? Is just a different type of acrylic?? Keep the vids coming!!! Cheers
Even watching the paint section of the video twice I didn't see where you did the interior tub. What color is that? Looks really good with the copper exterior.
I read where those hash Mark stripes on the front fenders originated. Apparently, way back in like the 1950s and 60s a race team that had multiple cars would use these hash marks to know cars apart. One hash mark for one car , two for the second, and, possibly three for a third car. They are popular on new cars today.
Would be nice if they retro-fitted that model to give us the Satellite once more. Not that it's a bad kit. I mean, it's a superb one. But sometimes base cars are more smexy. Really like your color with the stripes. Pretty cool.
The hood in this issue is the one that was in the original '71 Satellite kit, which was issued in 1984. It's not likely Revell will ever issue the kit in that form again because the body tool was permanently modified to add the lower rocker panel trim, deck lid spoiler mounting points and GTX emblems.
Nice build. Could you explain how to dull up the bright chrome on the stock wheels? Oh and is it necessary to prime everything and is that orange actual engine paint? I'm restoring a 1972 Roadrunner by MPC and really want the model to look professional.
I show it in the video, in the spray booth and then detailing it on the bench. I didn't leave out any steps. Thanks man! I don't give advice on show or professional models, that's not my style and not the level I build to so I steer clear of saying 'you have to do it my way'. I like to prime so that the color holds well. The orange is actual engine paint.
@@hpiguy okay thanks for the reply. By "professional" I should've said that I want the car I am building to look really good. I realized after I asked about dulling the wheels that you actually show that technique in the video. Thanks and keep up the good work. 👍
Looks FURIOUSLY FAST. Nice color and trim choices. Solid, clean build.
Thanks!
nice job...love the funky tunes added!
im sayin lol i thought i was the only one that realized he used a different song this time lol good toons
The funky tunes fit the car for sure. Very late 70s
Glad you like them!
I wanted to paint my 71 Challenger black, but that Autumn bronze metallic grows on you after a while.
Another nice build 👍🏻
Great build. Beautiful car. Thanks for sharing Chris.
Thanks for watching!
Now that is a car to have. Nice build. Never stop with the videos.
No plans to stop, too many haters out there to drive nuts when I use hardware spray cans! LOL
@@hpiguy You will never hear me say anything bad about that. You get good results and it's very affordable. You can't beat that with a piece of rebar.

Pinning works very well, yup. Thanks!
The Plymouth turned out great Chris Looks like a real 1:1
Thanks James!
Fantastic build! I love the more restful luxury leaning color combo. These older Revell/Monogram kits always go together so great.
I totally agree!
Yeah, my idea is it's an office guy's car, he wants the six pack power but not the flashy impact color looks when he takes a client out for fondue and scotch. ;)
Just got this kit for christmas, definitely looking forward to builiding it and your video showing it off was great.

I know most guys prefer the '69 and '70 models but I like the '71 thru '74. My first car was a '74 Roadrunner but always wanted a '71. Great job.

Craft paints from Walmart, Hobby Lobby in the 2oz bottles shown.

Even watching the paint section of the video twice I didn't see where you did the interior tub. What color is that? Looks really good with the copper exterior.
Same color as the dash and seats, Cambridge Stone if I remember correctly.
I really like the way you pick colors. I am just getting started. Can you recommend the brands of paint that you use. Thanks
I list the paints in the painting section of the video. I will use any spray on the market, model and hardware store paint.
Igot a question. Do you sand before priming the body and/or sand between paint coats?
Spray and pray. No time with these quick reviews.
These aren't show builds or model perfection classes, just nice easy breezy model reviews. Thanks!

One hash mark for one car , two for the second, and, possibly three for a third car.
They are popular on new cars today.
Yup, I put the carbon fiber fender stripes on my car in the early 2000s to recreate the look, looked great on the Torch Red GM paint.
@@hpiguy GM has a 2021 Camaro coming out with a special red metallic ( cherry ) and those fender stripes. Sharp.
Would be nice if they retro-fitted that model to give us the Satellite once more. Not that it's a bad kit. I mean, it's a superb one. But sometimes base cars are more smexy.
Really like your color with the stripes. Pretty cool.
A stock Satellite hood would help with NASCAR themed subjects, too!
That would be cool! On this oen you can at least do the base 4bbl 440 setup.
Hartspartsresin makes resin Satellite hoods for this.
The hood in this issue is the one that was in the original '71 Satellite kit, which was issued in 1984. It's not likely Revell will ever issue the kit in that form again because the body tool was permanently modified to add the lower rocker panel trim, deck lid spoiler mounting points and GTX emblems.
Does Testors silver ever dry?
I was going to ask the same question. I think the chemists that work for Testors came from the same group that developed the Twinkie!
Yes, I have no issues, couple hours and it's dry.
It will never dry on vinyl and rubber, only plastics. Enamels never do.
