    This is how you do show videos. Not just show the models but show the people and add an interview here and there. Great job!

    It was nice to see you at the show! I was just leaving as you were arriving. By the looks of it, I should've hung around. The party was just getting started. lol. This is by far my favorite show in the area. It's always a good time but this one seemed to stand out. Maybe it was because of all the of the lockdowns and postponements but people were ready to come out, support and be seen. I couldn't believe how much talent showed up. It was loaded with mind blowing builds, amazing builders and lots of shop talk. You can't come here and go home empty handed. I always find something to add to the stash. There's something for everyone. Anyone that hasn't seen this show before has to put it on the list. It's an absolute must see.

    Beautiful builds . If There's one very important thing in this hobby that I've learned is that you have to have patience. You can't rush it because they will look like crap.You have to take your time . The end results are so worth it. These builds take months but you see the results. Amazing.

    @RandysFiftySevenChevy Před 2 lety

    How it all started for me. I started making models from 7 years old up till the time I went into the service at 18. I had a boxes and boxes of bodies and parts but I only had one car together at a time. And it always was a 57 Chevy
    Now at 68 I have a big 57 that is now going through its final rendition before the end of internal combustion engines. Its going to be one wild gasser. And I'll be " Driving Miss Crazy" .
    My last rendition is on my channel its pretty wild and a lot of fun drag racing it and
    It all started with a model.
    I would of loved to see these models. Thanks for posting this and the models are unbelievable.

    • @TheLukaCeeChannel
      @TheLukaCeeChannel  Před 2 lety

      I like the sound of that next rendition, Randy. I already loved your car. I'm subbed to you. You got on my buddy, Tim's channel, Throttle Power. Over at the Tri Five Nats. I'm thinking about going to that with him next year. Let me know if you are ever in Phoenix for an event. Love your car. I want a 57 so bad.Thanks for watching, Budd.

    Just another comment if I may...Thanks for taking us all along with you on this showing. I would love to attend one of these someday. I loved all the footage of incredible builds and interactions with the builders themselves. Interesting as most there are older adults, no surprise for sure. I really liked the interview of the beautiful red truck builder, little younger and interesting how high tech making of 3D parts is now here. I think there should be a category of 15 and younger builds to help promote more younger age interest. Too many great builds to even try to say this one is best of show. That 69 RS Camaro convertible was a masterpiece, the filled in rear window, candy paint Impala very cool and impressive. List of wow builds were endless!

    I remember growing up in the 80s you could buy a lot of these models at Wallmart, they would have a isle of them, they were like 5 to 10 dollars back then! I’m sure they don’t sell them anymore! I remember buying cabover semi trucks, 4x4 pickups, etc back then! I had a Dodge 4x4 pulling truck! These things are expensive now!

    Awesome vid, Luka! Don't know if that Petty Blue '65 Plymouth Barracuda in your opening shot is one of the real deals or just a tribute car in honor of King Richard (his original cars had eight chromed velocity stacks sticking up through the front hood and different sponsor decals on the rear quarter panels), but for anyone out there who wasn't aware of Petty's one year stint in NHRA match drag racing, Petty left NASCAR for one year (1965) in favor of NHRA drag racing when NASCAR's Bill France decided to ban the Chrysler 426-cid hemi power plant due to its dominance up through the 1964 season. Petty then decided to run a 426-cid hemi-prepped Barracuda for the 1965 NHRA drag racing season instead. It was a one year stint only, as The King returned to stock car racing in 1966 after France rescinded the ban on the 426-cid Chrysler hemi engines, due mainly to a significant drop in fan attendance at the NASCAR events during the 1965 racing season. 😄👍🇺🇸

Of course back in those days we didn’t have a lot of channels to choose from until cable finally came to our state and city.

    Whats it worth?
    Also, I'd love to find a 73 Lemans or GTO. The closest I've ever found is a 73 Grand Am.
