I've seen different customs done where craft foam was used on the seat. That would cover the screw. If the plastic seat was heated up may put something heavy where it's bowed might flatten it out?
Hey Jeff it's GI Joe Eddie here just got your video I really love the ATV I used to watch them on The banana splits always wanted one in real life and I also have seen them where people has took RC car wheels and put on them instead of using the treads yeah you kind of get a little bit more expensive when you start adding I said a Wheels two of them for 20 bucks and then you go three times six and then you add that I still axles to go in them too man you went the right way back old school you keep an adventure going keep looking forward to more videos God bless you and your family and have a blessed and safe rest of the day thank you GI Joe Eddie over and out and PS what would be your address to get off of eBay have a lot of trouble trying to find you on eBay interested in maybe two of your ATVs thank you have a blessed day Eddie over and out
Hey Buddy!!! Lovely job! Question. You saw my green MSV, but I was going to do the complete resto on that MSV, another MSV, the Action Man Multi-Terrain Vehicle, which is basically the Big Trapper, and I also have that Barbie Western Star 3' GMC Motorhome. How do I take the MSV tops off and the cab top off for the Big Trapper? Do I remove rivets and use a razor knife, or is there a trick...I am assuming that the labour-intensive razor knife way is the only way? By the way, nothing looks better than a repaired and primed object...white primer always makes it look like something that came out of a factory...paint is great on that ATV, but I love fresh primer...hides everything. I will be sending you that 'thing' this week...

I started restoring one a few months ago I ordered the axle but I'm missing a weel , I been looking online for it but no luck, any advise? By the way you did a great job restoring that one, the orange color looks amazing! Thank you for another great video.
@@skunkworksstudios i noticed in one of your videos you added a screw to the back of the black cockpit because it was warped. i had same problem on mine but i didnt want a scew so i took my heatgun and gently heated it on the outside of the area that was warped and this will bring it back straight. i did this next to the sink with the cold water running so that i could quickly cool it and lock in the corrected position. be sure to keep the gun atleast 8 inches from the plastic and keep it moving from the outside edges of the warp toward the center untill straight .be careful to not over do it as it will warp the other way. (this can be corrected by doing same from reverse after cooling in case you do over do it like i did) while i was at it i straightened the two sides of the cockpit so it fit nice and tight again in the same way. GO JOEEEEE
Gotta love the classic AT Joe stuff. These toys take a beating and even when seemingly broken beyond all hope, restore very nicely.
Really great restorations! Thanks for sharing!😎
Very nice job. Thanks for posting.
Wow great restoration. Wish it was mine.Stay cool
of all that, I'm mostly impressed by the finish that you obtained just using a spray can! It looks like the natural plastic color!
🙏🤜🤛🍺
What a cool project, I really like the color choices on both those ATV's, nice job and good luck on the sales.
Another helpful tutorial. Thanks so much! 🤟
Awesome custom work! I always thought the ATVs looked cool, but yours look even better! They should sell quick.
Glad I found this video, I will mention it when I work on mine thanks brother
Thanks Paul! 🙏🤜🤛🍺
Great work Jeff. I saw them on ebay. I will definitely grab one up hopefully
Very cool 😎
Thanks! I have a few other videos similar on the horizon!
Love the Hasbro ATV's!! Great video as usual brutha!!

I think that would work. The only risk is overheating the seat and warping it further.
@@skunkworksstudios True, my thoughts was using hot water.

would have been cool to add LED lights
No doubt, I'm currently toying with LEDs! I may have to give that a try!!

That's a great question. Let me look at mine and see how I would do it! Send me some pics of yours!

where can i get an axel with wheels for the atv i just bought on ebay?
i found the axel repair kit but i still need a tire. any idea where i can get one?
I know there is someone who makes 3D printed wheels. I’ll have to find where I saw that.
@@skunkworksstudios that would be perfect thank you
