This sweet #1929 #ModelA #Roadster 1/25 Scale Model is due in late March 2020!
The Ford Model A (also colloquially called the A-Model Ford or the A, and A-bone among rodders and customizers)[3] was the Ford Motor Company's second market success after its predecessor, the Model T. First produced on October 20, 1927, but not introduced until December 2,[4] it replaced the venerable Model T, which had been produced for 18 years. This new Model A (a previous model had used the name in 1903-04) was designated a 1928 model and was available in four standard colors.By February 4, 1929, one million Model As had been sold, and by July 24, two million.[5] The range of body styles ran from the Tudor at US$500 (in grey, green, or black)[5] to the Town Car with a dual cowl at US$1200.[6] In March 1930, Model A sales hit three million, and there were nine body styles available.[5]Model A production ended in March 1932, after 4,858,644 had been made in all body styles.[7] Its successor was the Model B, which featured an updated inline four-cylinder engine, as well as the Model 18, which introduced Ford's new flathead (sidevalve) V8 engine.
The Model A was well represented in media of the era since it was one of the most common cars. Model kits remain available from hobby shops as stock cars or hot rods.Several Model As have obtained particular fame. The "Mean Green Machine", a green and black 1931 Tudor Sedan, has been a staple of University of North Texas football games and special events since 1974, maintained by the spirit organization Talons since the 1980s. The Ramblin' Wreck, a 1930 Sport Coupe, is the official mascot of the student body at the Georgia Institute of Technology and appears at sporting events and student body functions. Ala Kart, a customized 1929 roadster pickup built by George Barris, won two straight "America's Most Beautiful Roadster" awards at the Oakland Roadster Show before making numerous film and television appearances. Between October 1992 and December 1994, Hector Quevedo, along with his son Hugo, drove a 1928 Model A 22,000 mi (35,406 km) from his home in Punta Arenas, Chile to Ford headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan. The car required minimal service, including a flat tire and transmission work in Nicaragua, and is now housed in the Henry Ford Museum.[21]Charlie Ryan's song "Hot Rod Lincoln" featured a modified Model A. The song has been covered several times since its original release.

Ya know with what's going on right now, this is
a breath of fresh air! Love seeing these videos.
I actually look forward to each and every one of
them! You tell such great stories too. And always
make it EXTREMELY entertaining & fun for all Chris.
No matter what you build, I will always tune in to
learn something new, or just get ideas that I can
try with my builds!
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
I've watched both of your build videos for this model, well done! You covered this model very well!
Currently I am finishing up the Revell 32 highboy, my only gripe with any of these kits, is, none come with a Ford Flathead v8, they all have smallblock Chevy engines. For my 32 I want to honor the beginning of Hot Rodding, and a Flathead would be perfect for my build! I just wish I could find one. Well I did find a couple on eBay, cost is more than the kit, LOL! and they don't have a transmission attached. I'll find one for my 32 one of these days!
Keep posting builds! I also l love that you don't stick one genre of model building, you build a variety of subjects. I dig that!
Just a simple tip, use the rear axle mounts that are on the frame to locate the axle and springs, but do not glue the axle to frame and then after the springs and trailing arms are set cut the mounts off. This will let the axle look like it could move up and down.
I am building my first model in approximately 25 years thanks to you.....look forward to "rejoining" the hobby. So fun as I see kits from my childhood still around, this should be fun. Thanks man......
You can do it! Remember to have FUN and that it's a hobby!
Thanks. I've watched your videos for years, and love how it comes across as "Just having fun". Exactly as we did as kids, enjoying the models and not stressing.
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
Another great build 👍
You obviously save all your spare parts from other builds
My Brother and I did the same and after a while we had enough spare parts to build our own "custom" builds from various parts of models. Rat rods, custom cars and trucks. It was fun and creative to mix and match parts to come up with our own crazy ideas for rides. I'd love to see what wild and crazy ideas you would build out of the spare parts ( including decals) that you have. Let your imagination and your knowledge go wild. Love to see a video of that. 😊👍👍
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
Keep up the good work.
I use you guys to determine which model to buy.
Love hearing the piece counts, and how much you still enjoy these newer model kits (reissues).
I really hope Revell will include this one in their European lineup. It seems like a really nice kit.
"He's a Mad Man!" Lol, I love the little back stories you give your models:D
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
Another build full of extreme awesomeness as always. STAY WELL AND SAFE during all of this craziness
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
Hello, thank you for the reply. I knew you would have the scoop on Revell. I don't always believe everything that I read. That is why I asked you. When you mentioned that Revell sent the kit I had a feeling that things might not be as bad as I saw on the internet. It was also older information too. This is a big help to others who heard of problems with Revell of USA. I hope that they keep releasing the great kits they offer. Revell is one of my all time loved makers. Thank you again.
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
Got mine yesterday here in Canada I ordered it last week from the Us ( before they closed the boarder to unnecessary travel ). Just made it😀. I think I'm going with an Old School high boy drag roadster with a blown engine and racing slicks in 60s trim. Very nice kit, I'd recommend it
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
Wrote about warped windshield frames. I found if I cut top and bottom window frames out and used close diameter scrap plastic to produce the frame after gluing clear to end posts, it came out looking almost like original.did two of these.
I bought this kit today, and there was another model maker poking around the isle, we started to talk about kits,.. guess what both watch the channel!! We was like... Hpi guy .. Dude! My lady was like omg were gonna be here a minute lmfao
Ha! Nice to hear. Keep having fun!
I just picked up my 3 one of this kit. Going to do one of each version of the kit build option and going to do the 3rd one as a rat rod build.
I have this kit, didn't realize how Cool it is, gotta build it now,
Cool little tip is paint your shifter knob black with a drop of white paint. on your decal sheets some of the numbers are decals as well cut out the eight and make an 8 ball shifter
Thakns man!
@@hpiguy no problem sorry about the comment I use talk-to-text and sometimes don't check to see what it says before I send.. LOL
You've Knocked It Outta The Park Again Chris !! Thanks For Sharing. Stay Safe, Healthy n God Bless All.
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
Getting ready to do this one. Hobby Lobby had them 50% off. But this motor screams to be wired up. Too bad its not a Hemi. They look even better wired up.
Enjoy!
Chris, great video and tips , stay safe during this time and happy modeling, I'm gonna get this model as soon as I can, thanks for all you're helpful hints , I'm getting educated in better model building !!
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
Oooooooh. Daddy like. Daddy like. Love the rim and hub combo.
Thanks a lot! And thanks for spending some time on the channel!
I think it looks great; subtle paint rather than the usual flames that you'd see on this type of vehicle. Great build.
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
💘 that well detailed engine and blower...
Nice build. I think the term you were looking for was "channeled" not "chopped" .
Yes, I'm sure that's the word. Thanks!
"Oh yeah, absolutely LOVE the music!"
Thanks Jeff!
Really good! When I saw the almost finish version without the windshield, I thought it was so cool that way. I would've finished the kit without adding the windshield if that was mine.
Or chopped & raked
So Order 1 and Make it Your Way n God Bless All.
@@garyparker2969 ... You know I wasn't complaining, right? I was just telling Chris how I'd build this kit if I had it. Not how he should build it.
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
cant wait for the 30 to be released gonna scoop up a few of those
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
That blower is obscene !.....nice work mate 😉
Thanks a lot Gary!
Thanks for keeping the videos flowing as the world goes through trying times...
Thanks for always watching!
another great tutorial and we can use it for other builds. Thanks. And excellent camera work - it helps us to understand the details in the narrative.
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
Super cool, I love the color combinations and finish! This is a nice companion to your other 29 Ford, well done Chris!!
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
Chris, outstanding work on this Model A Rod! Love the green you used! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
Liking BOTH versions. I'm gettin' a second one.
Thanks...
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
Hello, very interesting. I have been a little heart broken seeing on the internet that Revell has been going through very hard times. Revell of Germany from what I saw is still OK but Revell USA might be almost out of biz. and I saw it was going to Pre School stuff. I don't know how much longer it will be around. What I need to know if it is truly going out of biz. It's been sold off a few times in the last few years. Is there any way that you might know about the future of Revell ? From what I saw it kind of looks bad.
Not many new people getting into the hobby. Kids today rather play on their phones than anything else so it seems. Back to the build. It looks great, nice Rat Rod. Thanks I always enjoy the builds and the stories with it.
I'm not sure what your source is, but try not to take those 'experts' too seriously unless they can provide real hard facts from genuine sources they can prove (a lesson in real life as well).
Revell Germany bought Revell USA a little while back and has taken over their operations for the most part. They have a small US office and are doing their best to provide us with kits and what not.
Revell has always tried to expand into RC and other toys, like any good company should expand it's offerings across markets.
Perfect timing! Mine just arrived yesterday! Thanks again for showing both builds.
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
Very nice build. Outstanding tutorial. I'm gonna have to cop a kit. Thanks man!
Awesome, thank you!
would be nice to see a tour of your display cabinets, you collection must be amazing.. can we see it? Cheers, William
Most are stored away or given away. Some are displayed for a bit. No room for 100+ kits per year to display them all.
@@hpiguy Appreciate you taking the time to reply, Thanks for the great videos, Inspired me.
First! Another amazing build on the same model which shows you how creative you can be. Love your skill level!
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
Title says rat rod but there is nothing ratty about this build. It is a very nice traditional hot rod.
I'm doing that kit now. Your vidios are an awesome help. Lots of good info and like building with a friend.
Awesome, thank you!
Hallo ..Comrade...The lots of cars..and Trucks looks very good....I learn from every Video..Thanks so lot.good luck for your next projects..greet from Christian
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
A lot of nicely detailed parts to this kit...
I am working on this beauty right now
I love watching your videos I always learn something new from you! The parts tree from this 29 would be perfect to make scratch built custom frames.. especially the tree with the frames and the tree with exhaust parts
Great idea!
Your kit came out real nice. Thanks for the info that you provided on this new issue of this kit.
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
far out chris you struck yet another one keep 'em coming ....and stay safe, for these are times to stay home and build model kits!!
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
Ya that is a cool kit. I love hot rods also. Maybe the next one you build you could look at a Hot Rod Magazine and see if there is one in there you like a duplicate it.
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
Rat Rods , SOO KOOOOLLLLLLL.
Mike Espo..
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
Can't you just picture Fonzie driving one of these!!
I would buy this kit, it's got a lot of pieces. But the square sprue holding some of the parts has a bunch of uses also.
Keith
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
A BEAUTIFULLY detailed Kit!!
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
Great build. Like the two-tone seats!
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
Awesome Job! I just ordered mine Chris! Can't wait for it to get here!
Hope you enjoy it!
@@hpiguy oh absolutely!
Another awesome build! I just got mine in the mail today (from model round-up) and I cant wait to dig into it! Your builds give me ideas lol
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
The new way of molding is cslled slide molding. Its the best think to be introduced in injection molding
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
@@hpiguy thank you for posting the videos. Stay safe.
Looks a lot like a car from the film "The Giant Gila Monster" That's what I'm building with this kit.
I wish the kit came with a 239 "flattie" V8. I love old street rods with a hopped up Flathead 8
Great looking kit, i would paint the hubs dark red matte, and add a shark mouth decal to the frint of the car, i like the army green color!
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
Definitely not a Rat Rod (a very misused moniker). But, a very well done traditional channeled Roadster build. A Rat Rod would never look that good. Ron
Thanks for the info!
Very good comment on the usually misused classification of "Rat Rod". In addition, I was getting a bit confused over the OPs calling the body chopped. As it's a roadster, the name "chopped" refers to the amount of material removed between the very top portion of the car, and the bottom of the glass area on the body, where all the glass would have to be cut to make the roof lower for sedans coupes and such. This also contains the height of the windshield for the roadsters and convertibles. Your reply with regards to a "Channelled" car is correct though which is to lower the body of the car on the frame of the vehicle, which I think the OP is referring to when he is mentioning "Chopped". There is also another more radical style of building hot rods and customs, is to "Section" a body where the car has a certain amount of the body removed making the body of the vehicle lower between the bottom of the glass and the very bottom of the car body.
I don't mean to criticize the OPs building of his models as I find his instruction and finished models absolutely fantastic. I was hoping maybe, to enlighten new model builders to get to understand building terminology. I'm an old bugger (72 to be exact), and have built many AMT car kits to enter into contests way, (way way way) back in the 60s and won the odd one or two, however, with all the new paints and other materials and tools, such as air brushes in particular, make the end results of todays model cars much better. I only wish I had one back then. One car I built was an AMT 1963 Ford Thunderbird convertible that I cut open the doors and had hinges on them, the inside door handles I made to move looking like they open the doors. I could make all the side windows go up and down, manually of course, metal tubing for the exhaust pipes and the lights work in front and back with the very small grain of rice bulbs. the suspension worked with the use of pen springs and the front wheels turned. I couldn't make the steering wheel work with the wheels though. The car was mounted on a block of wood. I won first prize and if I remember correctly, the prize was an AMT 1963 Ford Thunderbird convertible. I know one contest where I won the same item as I had entered, I can't remember if it was that one. This was back when I was 14 or 15 so I was pretty young. Of course I had a lot of help from my older brother. He was an excellent painter back then and we only had spray cans to use back then.
Sorry, I'm rambling on here, so I do apologize, but I want to give the OP a lot of credit for his exceptional work and all his help in giving us "Newbies" and "Old Farts" the desire and help to carry on building. I am actually into model railroading and real hot rod building at this point in time. I really hope I haven't scared off any new model builders or insulted anybody with my verbal diatribe, so it is here that I will eventually stop.
Just started to build this kit
Any self respecting Jalopy would never have it's wheels pointed in the same direction! lol. I'll have to get this kit for those beautiful tires.
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
Looks great. I'm looking forward to building this kit myself
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
Looks awesome Chris! Thanks for the review and build as always buddy! Clear modpodge... Gonna have to get some of that! Thx. again my friend!! 🏁🏁👍 Congrats on the new truck!
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
This looks so neat - thanks again for all the tips.
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
Love your show.....brings back alot of memories....maybe some day you can do the old monster movie models,drac,frank,mum,...ect. Thanks again!
If they are issued as reissued kits and the companies send them, would love to!
Love the build.Keep up the great model building.
Thanks, will do!
Love watching your channel. So always build cool kits.
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
This build reminds me of the show Happy Days for some reason...
Nice version of that kit... great job as always!!
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
I just started working on this kit and I can’t seem to figure out what the rectangular part is supposed to be. The ID on the sprue says 3F, but I’m kinda lost.
Loved the video by the way! Kit looks great!
Thank you!
Thanks man!
Great job looks cool with extra parts what great kit.
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
Just One Word..... SWEEET!!
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
Hard to tell which 29 is better but, both look Awesome. Sweet Rod. 💀😂
Right on!
Cool ride, Daddy-O!
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
Great build again, is there a vehicle you would like to see as model kit,? Personally I would like to see the new Morgan 3 wheeler or a Vanderhall .
Lots of stuff out there I'd love to see kitted, but right now I'd love to see something like my 2020 Tacoma TRD Pro for selfish reasons, and it's the best selling small truck on the market.
I was lucky and Fujimi made my FJ.
But instead of best selling vehicles, the model companies went and made a Hyundai Santa Fe. LOL
This channel is awesome😃
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
You should build the amt 78 ford 4x4 firestone pickup
Maybe some day Kari!
As always cool build! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
If you want more accurate hot rod tires for this kit,there is a competition and performance tire set by AMT,that you can choose to use;if name brand tires,tire specs,and dimensions,are important to you.
I cant wait to build mine. Got 3. Give me some tips with your builds. Keep them coming.
Very cool like what you did with it , The motor looks sick !
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
Your builds just amaze me buddy...KUTGW an keep them coming...
Thank you!
The two different frames are model A frame and 32 deuce frame.
Beautiful!
Thank you! Cheers!
This is a sweet kit
Thanks for the nice words!
Turned out pretty Sharp
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
Pretty cool. Do you ever kit bash these things? A Chrysler Hemi would rock that little Ford.
The manufacturers prefer that I build mostly out of the box for the reviews, for obvious reasons. Thanks!
Thanks. I remember there were always hotrods spotted with primer that never seemed to get that final paint job. lol.
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
very cool sir got mine coming
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
, super belle maquette
Thanks!
Nice, thank you
I like it! now I gotta go find one!
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
Cool rod
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
Awesome build Chris!
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
Awesome work buddy, as always!!
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
Do you ever do wiring? I have seen people do it, but have never done it, as I'm not sure how it is done to look authentic.
I've shown it in a review for Gofer Racing parts, but the companies prefer I build the model as box stock as possible.
Fantastic job my friend
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
Very, very cool! 🏆🥇👍
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
Cool kit
It is!
@@hpiguy bought it today at hobby lobby
I just bought this kit, what engine is in this, I am going to super detail it???
