      There was a guy at my high school that had one. It was in rough shape but I always liked the wing. You could climb up and sit on it . It was that strong. He has 4 of them now. It was kinda cool to build something I had given up on from the past. Thanks for watching John. Seeing the General Was very Cool. Never thought I would see that kit built on UA-cam.

    Hey man the Superbird looks awesome. I remember back in the day painting one model with the plastic Testors airbrush. It came with a can of propellant. Engineering has made it ridiculous on automotive repairs. That's a lot of labor cost. Hats off to you for tackling it yourself.

    • @michaelhintzmikesminiature1812
      @michaelhintzmikesminiature1812  Місяць тому

      Yes...it used the can propelling. I don't remember how many cans I used before I broke down and bought a real airbrush and compressor? I can't believe they put the damn pump behind the timing chain???? Thanks for watching

    Beautiful superbird Mike, love the blue paint. An intentional curbside 😮hope the water pump repair works out. I suspect the 5-6k cost due to the labor to remove everything to get to the issue.

    Nice Superbird, We have a 2016 Explorer with the 3.5. Had the same problem last year, fixed it myself, took me two full days, just looked up the video I used for reference, his channel is C.L.S.All-IN-ONE. Highly recommend this guy, very thorough. Hope this helps.

    Love it mike bro. u know i love this car I still have the one you sent me to build I do plan on doing it soon but yeah have fun with your mums visit too bro sorry to hear truck is still down and out I guess you would be best of getting something newer at those prices to fix it. but hope you sort it soon, 👍👍awsome superbird bro. 👍

      It's a old kit. The one I sent is a much better kit. I'll fix the Edge myself. Parts are about 450. The dang water pump is behind the timing chain??? What was Ford thinking??? Thanks for watching Keith

    Great looking Plymouth! I hear ya on the way cars are designed now. The Ford 5.0 V8 has the starter and on some the alternator under the intake in the valley. Makes it super difficult for the home mechanic to do repairs and super expensive to take it to a repair shop. Hope you get it worked out.

    Looks great, nicely done! Funny you mention the brittle plastic...I had a Revell Cougar from about the same era that had the same issue. I think they were playing around with styrene formulas at the time, and some were just bad.

    Excellent paint work, all your models have beautiful colors!! WOW busy dude, nice you can do the work yourself, I'm afraid I would have to get a new car LOL. Course those are ridiculous prices today OMG. The other airbrush I believe the word you were looking for was siphon feed. Anyway if we don't hear from you HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you and the family (HI MOM)!!!

      Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours as well Captian. I'm glad you like the bird. The water pump is behind the timing chain??? Not sure what Ford was thinking??? There's ALOT of labor involved just to get to it. I don't mind turning wrenches but More involved than any repair I've done before. Thanks for watching
