    The best and highest compliment you can give a toy

    This was a nice treat coming home from work. The color and the whitewalls were the right call.

    Wide whitewalls are a 1950s vibe. A 70s vibe would be blackwalls with painted manufacturer lettering, e.g., Goodyear or Firestone, or even hotter, red line tires a la Pontiac GTO. I know. I was alive in the 50s and onward. :)

    Brother I keep watching this video and this van turned out great. Thank you for the inspiration. Fantastic job my friend.

    Love how that turned out. Needs a custom Tampo to go fully cheesy 70s. You jogged something in my memory of having one of these Jackers. I totally forgot.

    Hey MrThangs
    I bet she loved the car and happy with the interior details.
    Take care🙂

    Holy hayseed and happy day!! Pfff I love that color, and the pearlescent paints (tho they are fiddly for me through the air brush) are a beautiful and an excellent choice! Bonus, that it is quite the perk it hides a lot of work/sanding/polishing that didn’t have to be done. Whew!!
    I actually enjoy this model, pretty unique!
    Also I’m glad you decided to slap some paint on the inner details. It’s the little things. 😉
    Nice restore/custom, also also love the white walls. Totally “retro” cool (haha read, I feel old)
    Chipper cheerios and take care! 😎🤩

      An! Hope you're doing well my friend! You should tty the Createx if you haven't already done so, it's super easy to shoot. I'll be 48 next year and I refuse to accept I'm old :)

    The Purple Nurple!!!
    Needs a matching Corvette Version!
    Maybe graphics? Some lettering or a logo?
    I hope you’re banking a lot of episodes to release during the holidays.

      I also thought that this casting could benefit from some graphics on the side or roof - a logo, a racing stripe or something.

    I think I saw the vise either online, or at Harbor Freight. I'll have to get one. I usually drop my cars as I try to drill them.
