Happy Weekend Fam! Starting a new schedule on Monday here so you can expect more videos from now on. I've been ..how you say... slacking? Anyway! enjoy this one :)
That would be awesome. The rotsun could be easily done with a Hot Wheels Datsun 240z, or M2 if you want more detail. The wheels on the Auto World Hennessy Camaro are almost a dead on match to the rotsun wheels.
Excellent custom job! Roadkill is a great show and should give everyone lots of ideas for customs. One of the other Hotwheels customizers made a great Crusher Impala custom, a year ago or so. Maybe you could do the Rotsun?
I started a Redline Mustang Stocker. I found that drilling the posts with a 3/64" drill bit works alot better than a 1/16". First time in 10 cars that the posts came out good. Electro polished the Mustang and then gave it a 30 minute zinc plating session. Came out real nice. I'll keep posting pictures of my progress on Facebook.
Like the jeep and you're other projects. I always await your next build. You inspired me to restore an create. I love the way you present your content. Good job man (fist bump)! Jimmy needs to help more! Lol! thanks for the entertainment and inspiration! I will keep watching and supportingyou!
You can get some miniature people figures that are seated by looking up HO scale figures on Amazon and Ebay. Some are quite detailed. Getting the wheels right is always a pain in the nuts.
Nice one. I remember the episode, they got the jeep stuck and had to be towed out using extension cable I think. I'll watch it again to make sure. All the best.
I was in a rush and saw a notification, just had to watch. Now I'm in even more of a rush and commenting just makes things worse ! Great result. Great fun ! Something totally different.
I love to watch Roadkill and seen that episode. You did an amazing job recreating the Jeep. There's a lot of other cars you could do from that show too! Can't wait until your next video. Blub blub blub!
I love this. I can't find any diecast jeeps, but I found some plastic $3 chinese that are around the same size. I am not worried about making them look 100% like yours, but I'm sure gonna have fun cutting them up and painting them up. Hell yeah! Looks like a lot of fun. Love a lot of your other stuff, but this post has me fired up to have a crack at the same look. Thank You.
Good job! I didn't know about "Roadkill," so I had to have the Google find me the episode. Very entertaining, and you did a great job on the scratch build. It need some of your polystyrene magic.
As these videos, and time, continue forward your techniques just keep improving at an impressive pace. I love seeing these recognized TH-cam cars. No one else has tackled these on a 1/64 scale before. Maybe one day try good old Leroy from Cleetus Mcfarland. C5 Corvette with panels removed and massive twinturbo engine setup up front. If you don't know it a quick "Leroy Corvette" search on TH-cam will help. Shoot I'll see if I have a few c5 hotwheels for you to cut up. Hopefully that would grab you a little more views/subs from Leroy fans too, because this channel deserves more recognition.
Diecast resurrection, glad to see that you are back and not to disapoint, I think you are the star !! Lol , yes I have seen the episode love road kill .. they probably just got done with power tour... anyway take care
Guess I'll have to check out Roadkill. When I saw Sideways King do that styrene base for the Mercedes rally, wondered what yours would look like. Nice.
Thats awesome! I really liked that roadkill episode (back when it was free) I think the custom details you did are awesome :D Especially the chrome air cleaner :D I remember the old loose nuts jeep like yesterday, with its extremely sketchy front shock mounts and everything XD
I remember that episode! It was a pretty cool rid that served no functional purpose at all lol. Well, maybe one purpose... To look like a Jeep ratrod, which, it did very well. If I remember correctly, they wanted to feature this out in the middle of nowhere bar on the show, maybe get them a little free publicity, but the bar owner/head douche in charge ordered them and the camera crew off the property and wasn't interested in their publicity or being featured in the build/giveaway. Ok, back to the video now....
Funny, it is the only Roadkill episode I have ever seen, I watched it just for the rat rod Jeep. You did a nice job on it, I'd totally recognize it if you didn't reference the show.
Sweet custom! I used to watch Roadkill before they went 100% on Motor Trend, the episode with the Jeep rod was pretty cool, think they broke the suspension and didn't want to drive it (or have it towed) back so they sold it to some poor guy for the cost of their bar tab. That makes 3 Roadkill customs now from the diecast community, think it was Wheels and Thangs made both a custom Blasphemi and Crusher Impala.
Whoops, I’m tired and totally read your comment wrong! If you saw my other reply. I would totally drive that thing daily, with a little work and some flowmaster mufflers. No prob!
That's a damn fine jeep rod you built ! I've seen the episode and it's a pretty sketchy ride....I mean I have nursed some crap cars around town but this beast is greasy ! 🍻
I def watched that episode of RoadKill and laughed all the way, excellent skill my Canadian Brother, she is sweet and my compliments on 55k..I'm happy about your success..keep makin dem Videos!
Hey watch a few episodes of tested with Adam Savage! He gives great advice and techniques for weathering and painting for models and such. I think you could apply some of those to your cars to really add some pop!

Happy Father's Day, to you and everyone in your family. Keep up the work and the videos. Information and entertainment.
#JimmysBack !
Hey dude cool I remember when they drove it
So you're just gonna have Jimmy come back and not tell us. Where he was hiding bro? He looks a bit rough.. maybe a jimmy restoration is in order?
Jimmy must have been on a wild binge
Doing a Roadkill car series would be a fun project!
That would be awesome. The rotsun could be easily done with a Hot Wheels Datsun 240z, or M2 if you want more detail. The wheels on the Auto World Hennessy Camaro are almost a dead on match to the rotsun wheels.
That would be awesome
I need to see a Disgustang and General Mayhem.
it’s such a detailed model i’m surprised it didn’t leave oil stains on your work surface
Holy s*** I nearly just had a trouser accident seeing your big box of wheels😘🥰😍
Yup I was like what??? Really. I need one😁
Excellent custom job!
Roadkill is a great show and should give everyone lots of ideas for customs. One of the other Hotwheels customizers made a great Crusher Impala custom, a year ago or so. Maybe you could do the Rotsun?
I second the idea of the Rotsun!
Love the work on the base! Does the roadkill Jeep to perfection. Jimmy knows where preacher Dan is... He just ain't sayin
Thanks brah, I’m sure he’s around here somewhere hehe
Had to watch the roadkill episode again before I finish watching this one. Looks awsome. There is a star on the back of the jeep
Not surprised that Jimmy has a military connection - Major Pain, Colonel of the Urinal, or Rear Admiral... Nice work on the replica.
Nice improvisation on the new chassis. Great paint job as well.
Looks good, especially seeing the custom base. I miss when Roadkill's episodes were free.
They are still free on the site
ROADKILL + DIECAST RESURRECTION = DIECAST PERFECTION!!!
Pretty cool. I'm diggin' the super wide wheels. Cool air filter poppin' out the top.

Thanks for liking my comment. It means a lot man
It was a great comment Dale, thanks for watching bud!

I've seen every episode of roadkill one of my favorites great job
Roadkill and your channel are two of my favorite things to watch on TH-cam. Awesome stuff, man!
Nice one. I remember the episode, they got the jeep stuck and had to be towed out using extension cable I think. I'll watch it again to make sure. All the best.
Fab job on that Jeep Ace .... l think I'll have to start re roding the episodes of ROAD KILL , there's a series on in the UK at the moment 👍
One of my favorite episodes of roadkill and that bar isn't all that far from my house. Relatively that is.
Officer Grady is wincing. Cool build!
I was in a rush and saw a notification, just had to watch. Now I'm in even more of a rush and commenting just makes things worse ! Great result. Great fun ! Something totally different.
These kinds of projects are my fav. When you have a casting that you know is just perfect for something else after you hack it up a bunch. Love it!
Hi bub! That loose nuts job was fantastic work brother! As always that is BOSS man!
I love to watch Roadkill and seen that episode. You did an amazing job recreating the Jeep. There's a lot of other cars you could do from that show too! Can't wait until your next video. Blub blub blub!

Good job! I didn't know about "Roadkill," so I had to have the Google find me the episode. Very entertaining, and you did a great job on the scratch build. It need some of your polystyrene magic.
I saw the episode just now and there was a 🌟 on the back next to the left brake light. So your build is spot on.
Your the best great sense of humor
Very nice build. The Roadkill boys would be proud !!
As these videos, and time, continue forward your techniques just keep improving at an impressive pace. I love seeing these recognized TH-cam cars. No one else has tackled these on a 1/64 scale before.

Big respect to you and all the people who do stuff like this your all awesome
Got my car in the mail yesterday!! Woot woot, it is awesome. Thanks

As always my friend you pulled out all the stops! Looks great!!
So Jimmy paid the bar tab and got a nice ride!😀 Looking forward to more amazing vids Austin!👍🏻👍🏻
roadkill is my favorite show first i see the crusher impala and now i see the jeep rod and future the general mayhem
Diecast resurrection, glad to see that you are back and not to disapoint, I think you are the star !! Lol , yes I have seen the episode love road kill .. they probably just got done with power tour... anyway take care
Awesome work! I'd pay the bar tab for one of them for sure. Can't wait to see what's next, keep up the great work.
Great job! Laughed out loud when you said you had to make the Jeep look like it has seen some things! Glad you found Jimmy.
That box of rims is sick brother! I've never seen such awesomeness!
Guess I'll have to check out Roadkill. When I saw Sideways King do that styrene base for the Mercedes rally, wondered what yours would look like. Nice.
Great job on the roadkill jeep. You never fail to amaze! And kept it fun!
Jimmy with the Jeep skills! Turned out sweet bud!
Really great, very authentic to the show!! Well done as usual. 👍👍👍
Are you ever gonna do anything with the Grave Digger Monster truck?
Really nice mod! You really cleaned out the sides, and made them look smooth. I like the air cleaner sticking out. Keep on doing it, man.
Thats awesome! I really liked that roadkill episode (back when it was free) I think the custom details you did are awesome :D Especially the chrome air cleaner :D
I remember the old loose nuts jeep like yesterday, with its extremely sketchy front shock mounts and everything XD
I’m glad slacker jimmy is going to be doing more vids.... I was having withdrawals.... awesome job on the Jeep....
Not seen any roadkill episodes but will stsrt looking into it for sure. Love thst loose nuts jeep
Nicely done.
Happy to see a new video 👍🏻👍🏻
Very cool work , Jeep is awesome , Mike Espo....................
I like the collection of wheels you have there
Lovely work there.... turned out fantastic 👌🏻
Thank you sir, it was a fun one!
So good to see Jimmy. He is way too cool. I bet you guys go out partying all the time don't you? By the way, Turbo is my deceased cat.
It turned out VERY good. Nice work!
I think this might be my favorite custom of yours! I haven't seen the series, but you sold me on it.
Sweet ride!
Cool jeep man!
Looks dope man. That was a neat episode of the show actually, I mean theyre all pretty good honestly, but yeah the jeep looks super cool sir.
Great looking model, you make everything look so easy
I remember the episode with the rat Jeep, they sold it at the end, and had many Roadkill style breakdowns.
I love this car! It's my favorite roadkill vehicle! I have an idea! U should do roadkill's "disgustang" a junkyard 69 mach 1.
Awesome work !!!
More roadkill builds man this came out great!
You need a little Freiberger and Finnegan. Then you'd always have someone crazy to drive your cars.
Like the jeep man!
Yep I'm feeling it it's the same jeep
Great work
I remember that episode!
It was a pretty cool rid that served no functional purpose at all lol. Well, maybe one purpose... To look like a Jeep ratrod, which, it did very well.

Ok, back to the video now....
I like it looks really close to the original😀
you killed it! Nicely done!
You nailed it
Great Work
I watch roadkill and they are hilarious sometimes and it been a long time since you did another video
Yes! Another awesome build.
Funny, it is the only Roadkill episode I have ever seen, I watched it just for the rat rod Jeep. You did a nice job on it, I'd totally recognize it if you didn't reference the show.
Thanks buddy! 🖖
Sweet custom! I used to watch Roadkill before they went 100% on Motor Trend, the episode with the Jeep rod was pretty cool, think they broke the suspension and didn't want to drive it (or have it towed) back so they sold it to some poor guy for the cost of their bar tab.
That makes 3 Roadkill customs now from the diecast community, think it was Wheels and Thangs made both a custom Blasphemi and Crusher Impala.
Looks dam near spot on, great work.
This is an awesome build imagine running it as a daily though 🤪
Whoops, I’m tired and totally read your comment wrong! If you saw my other reply. I would totally drive that thing daily, with a little work and some flowmaster mufflers. No prob!

Awesome job buddy looks great thanks for sharing buddy 👍👍
Great job on the Jeep.
That's a damn fine jeep rod you built ! I've seen the episode and it's a pretty sketchy ride....I mean I have nursed some crap cars around town but this beast is greasy ! 🍻

There IS a scene in the episode where you see the rear of the jeep, when it pulls away Grimm the dude if the road after it gets repaired
So good, you’re really entertaining but please please please give poor ol Jimmy a little paint retouching lol that shirt is looking “crusty” xx
Hey watch a few episodes of tested with Adam Savage! He gives great advice and techniques for weathering and painting for models and such. I think you could apply some of those to your cars to really add some pop!
