Hey Chris; Here’s a little suggestion for those who want to eliminate that bit of sloppiness in kits where metal axles are a bit long. You know those clear plastic tubes that protect small brushes when they are new? Cut a bit from them, usually a couple of millimetres or so will do it, insert the tiny pieces between wheel and axle housing or chassis or whatever… no sloppy wheels! As always, I enjoy your work, and your demonstrations of great ideas for improvement.
I just got this kit delivered today from the internet. In about two weeks I'll have the actual car. Like the one you drive! Have been looking for a 66 Wildcat for quite some time. Found it in another state and have paid for it and am awaiting it to be shipped. So looking forward to building the kit to match the car. Red body with black interior. It does appear that the dashboard in the kit is patterned off a 1965 Wildcat. My real car has a split bench with column shift and no console. I'm 57 and fondly remember building glow in the dark monster model kits in the mid 70's. I wish I'd held on to them. I think there were about 12 different ones in the series. I've never watched a model building video before and really appreciate all the tips, descriptions of the paints and tools. Excellent job of building it and keeping it interesting. I think I found a new hobby. Build models of classic cars I've owned.
Looks great. My dad actually built these back in the 1960's he worked for Buick motor division from 1965 till 2004 building the engine's. This particular car had the 425 Cubic inch in it . Most of your Buicks of this era were built in Flint, Michigan where I'm from. Great looking build Chris.
Our first new "Detroit boat" was a 66 Buick Sportwagon, ordered from the factory in Astro Blue. Had the skylights. The Wildcat engine, a 340, was painted GM orange (spent more time fixing the rear axle bearings than the engine!). Dad wanted a good car to haul the family around in. I learned to drive in it. Memories!
I like that you showed what happens when you forget to wash parts. The body color is amazing and the white interior works great with it. Great job, Thank you for sharing your builds and techniques. Hope everyone and their family and friends are safe and healthy. Remember have fun and happy building fellow hobbyists.
Nice build I actually purchased this kit today on sale at hobby lobby .. I opened it and when I saw the body had pins to hold it to the chassis I was in love with it. .
With all the unused extra parts and decals you've accumulated, you should do some kit bashing videos on how you could use parts from other kits to customize a model.
Fun review to watch! I love the concept of a "weekend build". Glad to see some else use Testors graphite metallic paint for a wash. In the early 1990s, I discovered by accident how that very thin paint was useless when trying to cover a large area. I did find that it was PERFECT for making valve cover fins, chrome wheel lug nuts as well as chrome grill wash really pop. I love your suggestion that a simplistic kit like this still builds up into a nice shelf model and better still...that you can involve your younger family members in the fun. The future of our hobby lies in the hands of young people. Anything we can do to drag them away from their computer games would be a step in the right direction. Yet another great inspirational video Chris. Thank you!
Great job Chris! Say what you want about the simplistic style of the older kits, but you never had to fight to get the interior/chassis into the body shell. And the cars always sat square on all 4 wheels. Too often on many of the newer kits I find that I am fussing with the stance, or fighting to get the interior/chassis into the body. I love the older kits!!
Thats a great build that looks fantastic with the colors and custom parts you used on it. Love the Wildcats and your Buick is no exception, great job and thanks so much for sharing your build with us. Model Roundup are very fortunate to have you as a spokesman and model builder.
I'm always looking forward to these build reviews, not least because of the ingenious ways in which the likes of silver Sharpies and gel pens can be used to shortcut the process of highlighting chrome/stainless steel/aluminum details. In fact, I've extended their use into building 1/32 scale aircraft, where I've discovered, for example, that a Silver Sharpie faithfully replicates the natural-metal frames on a P-51B/C canopy: I've also started using various colors of fine-tip (0.2mm) gel pens to replicate switches in cockpits, or the surrounds of instruments; it's so much easier than using a fine-tip paint brush.
Hello, I remember when these cars were brand new, state of the art at the time and Buicks top line cars. These kits from then used to have metal screws where the pins go to hold the chassis now and the hoods were held on with metal clips. Some kits still have the tabs where you put the metal clips for the hood. For one is '53 ford F100 pickup truck kit, the '57 T- Bird and the '58 Chevrolet Impala for a few. On the bottom back side of the hood and the behind the fire wall are the tabs for the clips. The hole in the firewall is still there. I (believe it or not) still have several hood clips and used a few on the F100 hoods and it works great. Did not work for the '57 T-Bird though the tabs got to small for the clips to work, to bad they don't use the clips and screws any more. OOPS showing my age now. LOL I really love the color choices and the way you assembled the kit as a slight custom. Maybe the kid damaged the original hood and had to settle for a fiberglass custom hood. I am now going to look at the next one now about the cannon.
I would buy this kit just for the decals and tires . I have several 50s and 60s trucks that the decals would be perfect on the doors. The tires are awesome also and would work well on so many models.. As always thumbs up! and a thankyou.
When you started to paint the transmission, I said "good old Testor's silver." Then the caption came up, "Good ole Testor's silver." Gotta love those old Detroit boats. The kind of cars that doesn't have (Your state name here) plates, it's got Liberian registration.
@@AvengerII Many cruise ships are registered in Liberia for tax purposes and many 60s and 70s cars were enormous. When I was a kid my family had an Olds F-85 that comfortably fit me and my 3 sisters in the back seat. The line about Liberian registration came from a comedian who talked about his dad owning a 1978 Buick, he then paused for the right phrase, Battlestar Galactica.
Wonderful job. I would love to watch you build my first love! 1966 T bird!!! Love your channel I'm pushing 60 and have been building most of my life. You have taught an old dog a bunch of new tricks! Thanks
This was one of the first kits I ever built, this and the AMT 66 Impala. They are pretty easy to build and you get a good result. Of course your model looks like you can jump in and drive away. 👍😊
Thanks for showing another car that I myself built many years ago.Buick wild cat.was a nice car.I almost had the real one back in the good old days.you painted it my color blue.sweet thanks again.
I remember this kit well from my childhood. My dad built a lot of kits and this is one that I loved. Unfortunately, when he was at work and my mom wasn’t watching me as well as she could have, I took the model down from the shelf - just to look at it. Sigh. Yeah. I pretty much destroyed it. My dad was *not* happy. Great build. Nice blue. The one we had was red.
In a previous life, we had to reshoot a car commercial because they had supplied us a car with different hubs on each side and nobody noticed until we viewed the dailies. You could have different wheels each side, you can't see both sides at the same time...
Love the music at 13:35 , i know you frequently play it... lol. It reminds me of taking a car trip to the mountains in summer...kind of lazy and laid back...
I love this kit . So far I'm about 90 percent done and it goes together soooo well. I would recommend test fitting whichever hood you are going with . All the ones in mine were warped and I found out after spraying them. I put it under hot water and had to bend it back into shape. Other than that it's such a great kit. And it's a BOAT hahahahah
That's what I call a classic example of mid-sixties muscle in a full size car. I would really love it if the molds for the convertible kits are around because that's how you could make a custom show car, put it on a turntable and make believe with other models of 1966 cars and call it an auto show display. They really need to dig up the old molds and come out with new reissues of kits so you can go wild with kitbashing, and make stuff they didn't have back in the day.
another great build! please give us a little tour of your display cabinets, been watching all your builds for a while now, and would love to see how you display all the finished cars
That's beautiful color choice you did for 66 Wildcat model kit looks similar to my Amt 66 Rivera model got on eBay $15 back in 2017 I'm making my own kustom with mimes.
it would be nice if at the end of your builds when you show the finished model if you could also show it off with out the hood along with the hood on.. it would be cool also to see what the engine looks like in the engine bay also. great videos, keep up the good work !
I think that the model builds are amazing and would love to have a model built by you specially the super wildcat. And want to thank you and keep up your amazing job.
I just got back into this hobby last week, I've watched heaps of your videos since, Pretty keen to smash out heaps of models, last time i touched one, my dad got me four Revell sets for my 10th birthday, Firebird, 57 Chevy, T-bird and i think the 4th one was a stingray. good work. looking forward to seeing more of your videos.
I had the Ford Popper Pinto in my FR supplier basket, but wasnt fully convinced on the quality/VFM then noticed they also had this kit so a quick check on SCM for reviews & instructions brought me here. Love the colour you hv used Chris; the Pinto sadly got the flick 😉
Just got into model building and I’ve used a lot of your videos for tips. One thing I’m really struggling with for whatever reason is chrome trim around the windows and front and back.. could you give an in-depth video on that ir any pointers for that matter. Thanks so much !
hpiguys Workshop yeah I seen and I have a chrome pen. Idk if I’m doing them in the wrong place or what. That’s the issue more then anything if that makes any sense
Love the blue with white interior and the stock rims with white wall's good work. I'm waiting on 69 gtx just ordered that kit looking forward to build it thanks again.
I used to have one of those. You could like, have a concert in the back seat! It handled like shit, but it was a nice soft ride at lower speeds. I think at best it got ten, or twelve miles to the gallon. I LOVED IT!!!!!
Good afternoon, when I was a kid i used to build a lot of model kits. I've always had a passion for cars. ' older and customs ' and now as an adult iv restored a couple of my own cars, and customized some also. But i got to give credit to all those model kits. But that's another story. Lol. You did a beautiful job on the Buick, I've always wanted a car like that, to bad i never found a decent one, or i would have built it just like that. The color choice you used on the body is beautiful it's like it was made for the Buick, on a scale from 1- 10. I give it a 20. 👍🤓. Like I said she looks AMAZING, keep up the good work. And keep them videos coming. God bless. And have a great day. Your buddy. ROBERT FROM CALIFORNIA. 😷👍🖖✌🎉🌮🌮😇.
If it runs out and the rumors are true that Rustoleum is shutting it down, I'll switch to Tamiya Silver or something. But I just bought a six pack of it, so with 104 kits per year on average I'm good for a year two.
Very nice build Chris, I had to check my stash to see if I had it, the Riviera would be a nice canvass That kit I do have. lol keep up the great work oh yeah I almost forgot, love the spare parts
Great job on this one, I really love the look of those cars and I remember them from growing up in the 60s. I'm waiting on my Land Rover and I think I will pickup the Chevy Luv pickup and I'm thinking of adding a couple of car kits also. Thanks again and super build, best wishes to you and your family.
Was waiting for you to do this one..!! Cool..!! I remember this in 1968.. I bought one here at my hobby shop as soon as it was released last month and got'er done.!! (went gold and stock wheels).. Love the hood..!! And reminisce of yesteryear..!
my apologies to you, i stand corrected. yes you do in fact. i guess i was overly tired after being on the road for a week. once again i stand corrected. but do keep the vids coming in.. i enjoy them
Man!! Watching all these builds you always make the hand painting look so easy!! Do you thin your paints or do I just need more practice?? Lol Thanks for sharing all these builds and tips with us though.

Came out great, Good choice using the white walls.
Thanks!
This was my first kit back in 1966 when I was 8 years old. Glad they reissued it with the original box art.
Thank you for checking out the video!
bought for1.50 in 66 n
nice kit lots of options
Very nice!
My dad had one that was red with a black interior.

Yes. Gotta love those torque monsters. I believe the dual quad version was around 465 ft lbs of torque. Incredible.
Thank you for checking out the video!
Great build. You showed that if you work at it,even a simple kit can yield a beautiful project
Yes you can!

I never really built cars til I ran into this magnificent channel, woweee!!!
Welcome aboard!
The model looks great - and it's always fun to see you over your shoulder.
More to come! Glad you like it!

Thank you for checking out the video!
Man, I need all of the 66 big car kits; This Buick, the Impala, the Pontiac GP/Bonneville, a 66 Caddy...such cool stuff!
Thank you for checking out the video!
i like the colors you used , and the white walls made it perfect, nice way to start the day.
Thank you so much!
Used to call these long wheel base cars led sleds the Wildcat turned out fantastic!!!
Thanks James!

Glad you enjoyed it!
Love Buick riviera magnifique super Gérard France
Thanks!
I love that blue! Don’t think I ever seen the Royal Blue Metallic. Not very fond with older 60e Buicks, but that built up nicely. Good job Chris.
Right on Mark!
One of my favorite AMT annuals of the 60s. Built one last year from the Customizing series. Glad it is reissued. Nice build, nice model!
Right on!
In a previous life, we had to reshoot a car commercial because they had supplied us a car with different hubs on each side and nobody noticed until we viewed the dailies. You could have different wheels each side, you can't see both sides at the same time...

I like the way you do these and they look real ,nice.
Thanks a lot!
Another A+ job from the workshop. Keep up the great work sir.
Thanks, will do!
Thanks for keeping the videos flowing through tough times...
My pleasure!
One of my all time favorite AMT kits ever!! I love the color choices and presentation! Excellent build Chris, well done!!
Glad you like it!
Paint by "THE EARL" 😀 Great job, Chris; I juat picked this kit up today.
Hope you enjoy it!
This is a great build and I love the blue you chose. So much fun to watch these builds. Thanks much.
Glad you like them!

That blue is definitely a gorgeous one. Nice job man
Thanks a bunch!
Astonishing Chris, just picked up a 2005 Chrysler 300c
Thank you for checking out the video!
Looks great Chris. Nice work.
Glad you like it!
I love this kit . So far I'm about 90 percent done and it goes together soooo well. I would recommend test fitting whichever hood you are going with . All the ones in mine were warped and I found out after spraying them. I put it under hot water and had to bend it back into shape. Other than that it's such a great kit. And it's a BOAT hahahahah
I have this kit but I haven't started on it yet as I'm finishing other projects first but this definitely gives inspiration, great job
You can do it!
Another awesome build. Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure!
That's what I call a classic example of mid-sixties muscle in a full size car. I would really love it if the molds for the convertible kits are around because that's how you could make a custom show car, put it on a turntable and make believe with other models of 1966 cars and call it an auto show display.

I’m starting to really like these amt kits
A BEAUTIFUL build of a BEAUTIFUL mid 60s Full Size Muscle Car!!.. Very Sharp lines on this Wildcat!!.. Keep up the great work Bud!!
Much appreciated!
watching the video was almost as much fun as building it myself ... I think I remember this kit from the sixtys
Thank you for checking out the video!
Less is definitely more , great build Chris
Right on!
that is a lovely looking car. glad it doesn't have massive fins on the back like so many of American iron used to have.
Fins were a 50s thing.
another great build! please give us a little tour of your display cabinets, been watching all your builds for a while now, and would love to see how you display all the finished cars
Zero intention to give a tour of my home. Thanks!
Awesome color combo on that land yacht!
Thank you! Cheers!
That's beautiful color choice you did for 66 Wildcat model kit looks similar to my Amt 66 Rivera model got on eBay $15 back in 2017 I'm making my own kustom with mimes.
Thank you for checking out the video!
Elle est belle ...Montage rapide et efficace !! congrest ...
Wildcat Blues, great body color.
Thanks!
it would be nice if at the end of your builds when you show the finished model if you could also show it off with out the hood along with the hood on..
it would be cool also to see what the engine looks like in the engine bay also. great videos, keep up the good work !
LOL, you mean like I do at the end of very video, including this very video?
Helps to watch the whole thing my man. Enjoy!
I saw this at Hobby Lobby today and thought about this video while I was looking at it and had to get it because you made this look so good!
Excellent build. Love the blue color. I m going to build mine but paint it white.
Go for it!
It looks beautiful Chris awesome job stay safe stay positive during all of this craziness
Thank you, I will, you too!
Some well detailed parts to this kit too!!
I think that the model builds are amazing and would love to have a model built by you specially the super wildcat. And want to thank you and keep up your amazing job.
Thanks!
Love the colour with the white interior, really pops, I thought you'd enjoy this old kit, nice work mate.
Thanks Gary 👍!!!!
I just got back into this hobby last week, I've watched heaps of your videos since, Pretty keen to smash out heaps of models, last time i touched one, my dad got me four Revell sets for my 10th birthday, Firebird, 57 Chevy, T-bird and i think the 4th one was a stingray. good work. looking forward to seeing more of your videos.
Glad you like them!
I rode in one of these way back when, My Uncle had it, he worked at Kelsey Hayes up in Detroit.
Oh Man you Nailed it looks awesome love that color and set that hood off great job
Glad you like it!
I had the Ford Popper Pinto in my FR supplier basket, but wasnt fully convinced on the quality/VFM then noticed they also had this kit so a quick check on SCM for reviews & instructions brought me here. Love the colour you hv used Chris; the Pinto sadly got the flick 😉
Thanks for watching!
Buick looks great.
Thank you for checking out the video!
What a great colour. Know nothing about the car, but what a great colour for it. Thanks for sharing, great vid.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very nice, good chose to go with blue.
I think so too!
Just got into model building and I’ve used a lot of your videos for tips. One thing I’m really struggling with for whatever reason is chrome trim around the windows and front and back.. could you give an in-depth video on that ir any pointers for that matter. Thanks so much !
Silver Sharpie, I do it on a few videos, one is the 1/16 Porsche 356B I did.
hpiguys Workshop yeah I seen and I have a chrome pen. Idk if I’m doing them in the wrong place or what. That’s the issue more then anything if that makes any sense
Once again awesome build.. need to get back into this for sure
No time like the present, enjoy!
Nice job.love your builds you should make a video of all your cars and trucks you built keep up the great work.
Love it already , that colour from the thumbnail is so vivid . Fantastic job. Sending u all the best from South Africa :D
Thank you for checking out the video!
Great job well done nice and easy great presentation. Thumbs up from me.
Thank you! Cheers!
Love that color! This build is one of my favorites.
Glad you like it!
Love the blue with white interior and the stock rims with white wall's good work. I'm waiting on 69 gtx just ordered that kit looking forward to build it thanks again.
Have fun!
I used to have one of those. You could like, have a concert in the back seat! It handled like shit, but it was a nice soft ride at lower speeds. I think at best it got ten, or twelve miles to the gallon. I LOVED IT!!!!!
Thank you for checking out the video!
Built that kit years ago and loved might have to get another awesome job as usual on your build
You should!

And keep them videos coming. God bless. And have a great day.
Your buddy. ROBERT FROM CALIFORNIA. 😷👍🖖✌🎉🌮🌮😇.
Thank you for checking out the video!
Man I wish AMT would release (or re-release) a '67 Bonneville - this build reminds of a '67 Bonneville I built as a kid in dark Caramel candy. 🚗
If they have the molds I'm sure they'll get to it.
Hey Chris what will you do when you run out of Testors silver...
Enjoy those Testors paints. They seem to be all but gone these days. I think they went out of business or something.
Rustoleum Bought Out Testor's
If it runs out and the rumors are true that Rustoleum is shutting it down, I'll switch to Tamiya Silver or something.
But I just bought a six pack of it, so with 104 kits per year on average I'm good for a year two.

Hi, thanks to you, I buy a lot from Model Round Up and Hobby Lobby. I have learned a lot from you. Keep it up.
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you for he video. Please show the label of the floor polish and show the process of putting it on the model and exactly what it does.
I've covered it in many videos, especially the Concept Camaro video. Thanks!
Awesome. The deep blue really suits it 👍
Yes it does! Thank you for checking out the video!
Very nice build Chris, I had to check my stash to see if I had it, the Riviera would be a nice canvass
That kit I do have. lol keep up the great work
oh yeah I almost forgot, love the spare parts
Thanks for watching!
Nice build. Great video. Keep up the great work.
Thanks, will do!
Nice job ! Beatiful color ! Best regards from Brazil ! Henrique 😎👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Great job on this one, I really love the look of those cars and I remember them from growing up in the 60s. I'm waiting on my Land Rover and I think I will pickup the Chevy Luv pickup and I'm thinking of adding a couple of car kits also. Thanks again and super build, best wishes to you and your family.
Glad you enjoyed it!
That looks great Chris, another great build love your modeling
Glad you enjoyed it!
Was waiting for you to do this one..!! Cool..!! I remember this in 1968.. I bought one here at my hobby shop as soon as it was released last month and got'er done.!! (went gold and stock wheels).. Love the hood..!! And reminisce of yesteryear..!
Rock on!
my apologies to you, i stand corrected. yes you do in fact. i guess i was overly tired after being on the road for a week. once again i stand corrected.
but do keep the vids coming in.. i enjoy them
I understand!
Man!! Watching all these builds you always make the hand painting look so easy!! Do you thin your paints or do I just need more practice?? Lol Thanks for sharing all these builds and tips with us though.
Right from the bottles, old school style! Glad you like them!
