Thanks so much! That really means a lot to me because I want the videos to be fun to watch - these silly little cars should be a lot of fun and I'm having a blast doing them!
Thanks GW! It was a blast to build...and sometimes you just get lucky and the colored glass actually works well with a build instead of clashing with it. I absolutely loved the look of the glass on this build.
I love watching videos here on TH-cam about Bonneville Speed Week. I never knew that a motorhome was built to compete. This video proves you learn more than just tips/techniques from your videos. Excellent work!
This RV ( = Racing Vehicle 😉) looks great. The casting is a heavy piece of metal. So during the construction you also had some sort of training at the same time. I love your humor: A chrome steering wheel in the heat of Bonneville. ☀🌞The driver has fun! 👋🤏😂
I’m not sure I like it as much as you do, as you obviously like it very, very much, but I do like it… maybe just “much”. Love the black and the blue of the decal, and I like 6 wheels, I can’t deny. Well done and Thank You.
Thanks Joe! This was a really fun build because it was so different, so you would probably have a lot of fun doing something with the ones you have as well!
Thanks Rich! The decals can be a challenge to create at times, but it's usually well worth the effort, especially when you're trying to do something a little bizarre like this build lol
Another cool build is always there Jim that is really cool take a note old motorhome and making it really look bad do you stay safe and healthy out there have a good weekend and God bless my friend
Thanks Eddie! I won one of the jigs in Paul Fat Guy Productions Christmas giveaways last year. For some reason, I always just catch myself holding things to drill them (and staying lucky so far lololol). The jig is so easy to use and yet I'm so damn lazy (it's about one foot in front of me on the bench lol)
Thanks Jeff! I actually had that casting out awhile back and was considering doing that build...but then time got away from me (I was going to do it for an invitational build) and I ended up setting it aside and forgetting about it.
Great work on this custom build Jim, and those wheels really suit the final look so well! 🥰🥰 --- I have at least two (and maybe a third?) of these castings, and like the recent Poison Pinto build you did (got my "new to me" Pinto in the other day), it is getting me in the mood to do my own customs. 🥰🥰
Thanks so much Andrew! After reading your comment, I couldn't help but imagine you yelling at Petra "HANG ON!" and then you punching the accelerator to the floor of your RV 🤣🤣🤣
Cool! Another one that might be fun to try with this casting; is the Lone Star 5 from "Space Balls". Not sure if it had tandem wheels in the back though, so maybe not.
Thanks Dave! It seems like I remember someone doing one of those...but heck if I can remember who (and now I'm wondering if I'm getting it confused with a guy who made rc flying versions of various tv/movie crafts...and even made an actually flying version of the flying toaster from the old After Dark screen saver).
@@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms Welcome! An rc filying toaster? I gotta find that guy; sounds like he has some intresting creations. P.S. I looked; there're a few people who've done that. lol funny!
Mattel had to truncate the GMC Motorhome behind the rear axle to keep the casting at three inches. In real life, I believe you'd be losing a lot of the Master Bedroom area if a GMC Motorhome was lopped like the Hot Wheels version. I really wish Hot Wheels would do a perfectly scaled 1/64 scale GMC Motorhome in Team Transport although some people would probably complain if there's no car with it.
interesting. :) nice and shiny. ^^ funny thing, here on YT some family are restoring one of these on the side, which they dragged off an abandoned houses' premises. :) they are quite big, real motorhomes. :)
@@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms absolutely. I was also surprised how well they constructed the thing, GFK here, aluminium there, independent rear axles with air ride to keep the floor even and as low as possible... and a 454 big block by Oldsmobile as well as the front wheel drive in the front. XD
I love the joy that comes through his voice as he talks about the build. Great build.
Thanks so much! That really means a lot to me because I want the videos to be fun to watch - these silly little cars should be a lot of fun and I'm having a blast doing them!
Very very cool!!! One of my favorite castings when I was a short legger!👏👏👏
Thanks Charles!
Incredible difference! Much much much better. The blue glass works very well.

Thanks Russ! Honestly, I never knew that a motorhome ran there either until I stumbled across this one. Thanks for watching!
I love the filing...
Very satisfying lol.
Love the blue glass and smokey paint. A+
Thanks so much daughter!
Full watch , and share .
Great work as always.
This looks like right off the pegs .
The premium pegs .

LOL Thanks Fritz! That casting really is a solid chunk of metal!
Fantastic build, Jim. As always. :) Cheers!

Awesome, gotta love it when you customizers recreate cars in the real world. 😎
Thanks Paul -- it was a heck of a lot of fun doing this build!
Turned out AMAZING!
Thank you!
Looks awesome Jim! Good call on the decals. It would have been too busy. Looks spot on!
Thanks Jamie! It was a blast!
Soooooooo, much better, Jim.
Thanks Uri!
A fantastic replica of the Bonneville speed week motorhome, I agree the blue really works well with the new paint and decals.
Thanks John! Every now and then you get lucky and the colored glass works well with the build lol

Thanks Armando!
Wonderful job!
Thanks Bob!
Def turned out really well Jim!!
Thanks Pete!
Great spin on an old casting Jim👍👍👍
Thanks Mike!
I have a few of these. I should do something with them over the winter. The blue glass really does pick up the blue decal. Cool build!
Thanks Joe! This was a really fun build because it was so different, so you would probably have a lot of fun doing something with the ones you have as well!
Awesome build.
Thanks Cecil!
Truly nice work Jim. Thanks for the Upload- AlltheBest

Awesome great build
Thanks Ron!
Paint and decals are excellent. I really need to learn how to make my own
Thanks Rich! The decals can be a challenge to create at times, but it's usually well worth the effort, especially when you're trying to do something a little bizarre like this build lol
I love it!!! l=Looks fantastic!!
Thanks Craig!

Outstanding work Jim, love your passion on this one
Thanks so much Martin! Somehow the really odd builds give me so much enjoyment.

Thanks JC! Take care and stay safe out there!
Vantastic! (Sorry: couldn't resist..)
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's were my easy jig comes in handy!!! Lol 😆 u might get one if your not nortity!! I'll have to ask Santa 🎅!!
Grinch Witch maintains the Naughty List, Jim's been ornery sometimes weird but never naughty. Send him the Easy Jig.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms yeah, time definitely does that. Lol
Great job Jim!

That was a cool build brother
Thanks Gary!
Very cool brother, I had no idea that mobile home was a thing. It gets a two thumbs up from me.
Thanks David! It was a really fun build!
Boom! Mic drop! Really nicely done, Jim. I'm watching this from my RV in the Black Forest in Germany, so it was especially fun. 🍁☕👍

Good vid so cool.I got the green one and i think will bring him to life 😂

Ahhhhh...that makes sense as to why the casting is a little different than the real thing.

funny thing, here on YT some family are restoring one of these on the side, which they dragged off an abandoned houses' premises. :) they are quite big, real motorhomes. :)
That's a very polite way of saying they're freaking huge Lothar lol They really are...which makes them taking one to Bonneville even more fun!
@@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms absolutely. I was also surprised how well they constructed the thing, GFK here, aluminium there, independent rear axles with air ride to keep the floor even and as low as possible... and a 454 big block by Oldsmobile as well as the front wheel drive in the front. XD
