[@davidchin350]

Thanks Mike, glad I completed this one.🙂

[@davidchin350]

Thanks Bill, I like the Florescent bright colors as well 😀

[@Reset317]

What a great build,nicely done. thumbs up! David
👍🏻 👍🏻

[@davidchin350]

Thanks, this was a very challenging kit due to part placement.

[@marksmithdiecast001]

That looks FANTASTIC David! Great build! Have a WONDERFUL day my friend!

[@davidchin350]

Thanks Mark, a very challenging build.

[@rcplaytime]

Great job,looks fantastic 😎😎👍👍👌👌

[@davidchin350]

Thanks for watching, another build done.🙂

[@c.d.scalemodels9198]

Morning my brother, it turned out to be a beauty David!!!!!! Given the lack of instruction at some points, you still pulled it off!!!!! Mustang looks great too with the trim decal too, well done my friend…….well done!!!!!

[@davidchin350]

Thanks Chris, very inticate fitting kit for sure.😒

[@crazykit]

AMT is truly a brand that offers original models. I didn't know this model. The instructions which are not precise, that's what slows me down on the construction of the chrysler turbine JO-HAN. Beautiful video and beautiful editing.👍👍👍👍

[@davidchin350]

Thanks Pierre, I usually post my original videos with little editing to save time.🙂Good luck with your Jo-han kit.👍

[@SmallADVentures1973]

Awesome build, David!! ✌️😁

[@davidchin350]

Thanks Stephen, parts done quite fit that well on this one.

[@dacuzzz6951]

hi David... the model looks good... i like the colors... i feel you with the instructions... thx 4 sharing.. vinny

[@davidchin350]

Thanks Vinny, foiled by poorly written instructions, bad modeling day is still better than a good day at work🙂

[@SteveJonesScaleModellingSite]

Great build review of the Groove Boss. Lovely work all round my friend

[@davidchin350]

Thanks Steve, a handful of a model.😊

[@markfrommontana]

Looks like a fun kit and I really enjoy your color scheme. Good stuff, David!

[@davidchin350]

Thanks Mark, eye searing green😎

[@hensleyshobbies-doug7761]

No problem David! Very cool my friend, really nice job on the Groove Boss 👍👍🤙🏻✌🏻

[@davidchin350]

Thanks Doug for the kit and for checking out the video👍

[@joramamodellbau3987]

Good result with the Groove Boss, David. Impressive the engine with the open funnels.
A job with which you can be satisfied. Best wishes, Joachim

[@davidchin350]

Thanks Joachim, glad you like the details.👍

[@ramblers69]

Great job on the Groove Boss David!!!

[@davidchin350]

Thanks Tom, very challenging build

[@edsgarage9966]

Car turned out better than the instructions showed. I had the same problems with that LOTUS i did a while back. These kits from OLLIE'S have both good and bad points. It depends on the skill of the builder on how it turns out. I do like the engine in this one, you did an exceptional job making it look like you did. Bravo. They only look like a stress reliever out of the box. You picked up the challenge well, and overcame. Well done.

[@davidchin350]

Thanks Ed, some challenges for sure.

[@timemachinesscalemodels]

Knowing it's a challenging kit, you still did a great job on it, David.

[@davidchin350]

Thanks Rob, this took longer to build than expected.

[@drafting5652]

Looks really cool thanks for sharing 🙂

[@davidchin350]

Thanks for checking out the video.

[@modelcarvideos5829]

David even with all the challenges I think it looks really cool!!

[@davidchin350]

Thanks Matt, went all bright colors on this one.😊

[@alwoodsmodellingmayhem]

This looks really cool David. Well done sir.👏👏👏👏

[@davidchin350]

Thanks Al, a very improvised build 👍

[@carouselofcrazychrisb]

Gotta say, David, you did an amazing job on this build!! I'm the one who famously trashed this kit (I say famously cause the video I did keeps getting tons of views, my most viewed video). I wouldn't touch this kit again to save my life. Really digging your build, looks ready to race!!

[@davidchin350]

Thanks Chris, I remember your video and you are 1 of the 2 I meant when I referenced "members of the community". What a challenge this kit was but a bad day of modeling still beats a good day at work😉👍

[@ShawnStafford-1978]

​@@davidchin350AMT brand of model kits always have been rough to assemble. Like they don't fit correctly or something else. Seems like it's been a issue for many decade's I noticed

[@modelcar1589]

Great job cool kit 👍🏿

[@davidchin350]

Thanks Leon, a very challenging kit to build

[@johngligo4049]

That bad boy came out very well despite all the challenges and fit issues! Love that bright green Rustoleum color you chose! I’m currently building the Revell Bronco Half Cab with dune buggy and I’m painting it in a Rustoleum Gloss Emerald Isle Green with white!

[@davidchin350]

Sounds good John, can't wait to see your Bronco

[@JethrosGarage-op4bo]

Cool looking build David, the bright colors work well on the modified!

[@davidchin350]

Thanks Jeff, this modified was a handful to assemble.😮

[@CBModelworks]

Even with the issues it came out great David!

[@davidchin350]

Thanks Chris, a very improvising build of this kit.

[@themediocremodeler-zm7ny]

Never built the groove boss. Looks like fun with challenges. Nice job on your mustang. Nice shout outs. good job on this. Thanks for the review, David. 👍

[@davidchin350]

Thanks, it's a great parts kit but challenging to assemble🙂

[@ericsmodelgarage]

Very nice job, David for such a finicky kit👍 Reminds me of the old MPC Southern Stocker kits. Those had some poor fitment issues as well. Well done👍

[@davidchin350]

Thanks Eric, yes a finicky kit indeed.

[@redbarnmodelworks1115]

Very cool ! Should build up nicely!

[@davidchin350]

Thanks Don, great parts but doesn't quite fit together well.😀

[@DiablosWorkshop]

Hi David, you have worked wonders with this difficult kit.... Looking good, my friend!

[@davidchin350]

Thanks Chris, for a slump buster this sure generated some difficulties.😊

You got it Mike, 👍

[@LeftCoastModelCarBuilds]

Sweet build, looks like some finicky parts and fit watching the video and listening in. Great job, looks great! Nice shoutouts as well 🤙🏼

Thanks Paul, a challenging build for sure.😊

[@LeftCoastModelCarBuilds]

@@davidchin350 definitely looked like it!! Great job! 🤙🏼

[@dariosmodelbuilds]

Nice work on the kit despite the challenges it presented.

[@davidchin350]

Thanks Dario, definitely some improvising required.🙂

[@slowridemodelcars1687]

For a poor kit you did a great job, I think I’ll use mine as a parts car lol, thanks for showing!

[@davidchin350]

Thanks, it does have nice parts but is very challenging to assemble. Have fun with yours.🙂

[@moparnut6286]

Super cool David!

[@davidchin350]

Thanks John, love it when the parts don't quite fit right.🙄

Turned out way cool. I heard this kit was a ballbuster!

[@davidchin350]

You heard correctly, a kit that will keep😮 you on your toes.

[@doinstuffwiththings]

That car is cool!

[@davidchin350]

Thanks, one of my improvised builds due to poor instructions and I'll fitting parts 😮

[@modelsandbeer]

Nice work on this kit David! I built it a few months back and had similar problems with mine. Very challenging but nice-looking model when it's done.

[@davidchin350]

Thanks Ed, yes this was a time consuming build for sure to build up due to the parts.😮

[@mightyjjk1298]

Awesome job on a very cool car. Love the color. You did a great job with that kit. Very cool!! 👍👍 (Mustang looks great too....maybe brush some dull coat to get them to match better?)

[@davidchin350]

Thanks John, love bright flourescent colors 😎👍

[@glensmodels]

Nothing wrong with that build at all it looks great, it takes some awesome skills to build that kit I got one for parts, lotsa good parts in there, your mustang looks great too, have a good one buddy later Glen

[@davidchin350]

Thanks Glen, yes some of the parts are great and there are some extras that weren't used for this build as well.😊

[@GrumpyGregsModelsandToys]

Looks pretty cool, David 👍 I have heard that these aren’t the greatest kits but you did well with your color choices 😎

[@davidchin350]

Thanks Greg, very deceiving kit since it requires full attention to fit and attachment points.

[@goforitpainting]

Cool

Thanks for that, I did not see it. I'm used to seeing it on the end tab in large print. 👍

@davidchin350 yeah...I know what you mean. Is definitely a strange place to put the info.

Nice Job. David However yhe #1 Rule if .idel Building Always Applies atest Fit 🎉Refine & Retest Fit Repeay Will eliminate things like Hood Flaw on Completion

[@davidchin350]

You are correct, this one is unique since it's not a matter of test fitting just bad engineering ☹️

[@DreamBigBuildSmall]

Awesome build David! I think the bright colors look great. How is he supposed to get sponsors blending into the crowd?

[@davidchin350]

Thanks for stopping by, decided to go high impact colors on this one.The sponsored decals were fun to apply.😊

[@ShawnStafford-1978]

It looks nice finished and assembled. Yeah I think this brand, part's assembly is not good. I usually buy Monogram and Revell model's

[@davidchin350]

Thanks for checking this out Shawn, some AMT kits are not too bad but this one was extremely challenging.🙂I do love Monogram kits the best.

[@ShawnStafford-1978]

@@davidchin350 You're welcome. Yeah some are okay, and still kinda manufactured cheap. I've been building model kits since the 80's. It's still a unique and different looking model kit.

After building about outside just about under a hundred of these different kit The Grant king Sprint car slide Supermodified by a m t This reissue is Probably One of my favorite to come back. David Painting is your choice but a rule of thumb about sprint, cars and race cars in general, no green.
It is called bad luck. Nice update. For round 2 Decals. The dashboard Decals. R d best deal For this model. Google real photos of the sprint cars.Thank you

[@davidchin350]

Thanks William for checking out the video and the comment. I was not aware of the connotations with a green modified. I guess this model will be prone to breakdowns and coming in last😣
