Build a truck you owned challenge w/ RD Custom Diecast

[@DiecastResurrection]

Hello my friends! Here is my submission for the challenge with RD Custom Diecast. I already had a look at Rodney's Truck and dang I can't compete with NOS and a blower! Make sure you go have a look and say Hi for me! Hope your weekend is going swell. I've upgraded the coat counter a bit, its a work in progress though (comments). Go check out Rodney's Video here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/n52kmJh8ZpWKfZo

Your model's paint looks better than on the real truck.

[@josephcorriveau9113]

♥️

[@CopperOSC]

I like the way you paint what I would like to ask is what type of paint do you use for a base for the paint to stick

[@stephenmoncrieff2056]

Howdy from a fellow Albertan!!

[@karlkovach8647]

Very, very cool!! Beautiful color.

[@Lahire-s7l]

Super cool custom top taf😊

[@dave499]

Dude. Blast from the past! Love it!

[@neilpatrickhairless]

LOL "mulletizing" - that's exactly what that rear window fairing does. I think I remember them being called "razorbacks" also. I live in the Southeast of US so these trucks were everywhere you looked when I was a kid, set up very similarly to this 🤘🏻

[@raeishimura]

I think it's almost like a dream to own a miniature version of a car you own that means a lot to you. I have a '71 AMC Javelin, and it's full restored and going into the body shop for paint and final bodywork in about a week. I found a Johnny Thunder diecast that is the exact car, a 71 Javelin in the same colors mine is gonna be, high gloss black with a white T-stripe on the hood. It just makes me happy to think of a day I can sit at my desk, look at that car, then walk out the front door and get in the real deal and go for a drive.

[@jackmiller8763]

Got love those ol square bodies. Looks awesome

[@danrussell3439]

The end result is amazing.

[@RandyCivilized]

I really like the new paint booth overlay

[@johnrodriguez489]

Your Bad Ass ! Can't wait for my first one .

[@tonyneises5195]

Very sweet, my high school buddy had an 80 or 81 that looked just like that, except it had the burgundy paint job also.

[@t.j.lemaster8653]

All of a sudden my early teens came rushing back to me all that was missing was some Bon Jovi or Skid Row(18 and life) playing in the background... 😆 Awesome build Austin !

[@raeishimura]

Haha, as soon as I saw Skid Row I was thinking that song and Youth Gone Wild. Rock on my man, rock on

[@Weapon_X_Wolverine]

Fun! I loved the backstory as the build went along.

[@Michael_Miller508]

I hope all is well. I just found your channel, hopefully you still post content

[@gilmatin8185]

Looks Awesome...reminds me of early 90s narco life trucks in Southern California.

[@garetkonigsfeld2]

I you win I don't see how he can do better. But I'll watch and see. Good job thanks for sharing 👍.

[@JorgeLDiaz]

Man, that color came out beautiful.

[@shellygenter8585]

My 1st car was 73 Mercury's Comet. "The Blue Bomb". Had no floor boards or brakes or a dashboard you could use at night. (Cue a toggle switch). My boyfriend got her brakes and then sheet metal and tarred the floor boards. Had a piece of industrial bar for a bumper, a passenger door that you had to lift to close and the best damn Kraco stereo I could buy at the time. I miss her.

[@bigsid3011]

Sweet ride down memory lane for you and another trucktastic overhaulin for us.

[@capedwonder2833]

I went over to have a look at his video. I like yours better. Not only that but your filming and light etc is better. You win boss.👍

[@keithzatkalik5805]

Beautiful job

[@fattonysgarage67]

Man this square body 86 takes me back to high school days. Love the paint and the 80's vibe with the visor and razor back

[@solitairesmith3553]

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING LOVE THE CANDY PAINTS!!!

[@Leader460]

Roll pans are very popular still,❤ your work and channel 👍✌

[@NitrousDiecast]

Very good paint! 😁👍🏻

[@jrsdiecastcars1978]

Outstanding work you are a true artists thank you for sharing

[@johnkaiser8410]

Good looking truck, well done!

[@Gearhead-en8dz]

Lund kits always looked good on the square bodies and OBS's. IMO

[@subhumann]

truck turned out great! love the colour! roll pans are still popular... almost as popular as soup. I like soup

[@jamesoldaker2434]

My God is miss the late 80s and all of the 90s gas was cheap, the vehicles were sweet, and the music was the soundtrack to my destruction. Great build bro.

[@rdcustomdiecast]

Amazing job love that candy paint. When I get home I will link back to your video. Awesome challenge thank you for doing this with me I really appreciate it.

[@DiecastResurrection]

It was fun Rodney I haven't done a challenge like this in ages! We'll do another one soon but crazier 🤣

[@rdcustomdiecast]

@@DiecastResurrection awesome it was fun for sure

[@robbyclower9223]

I've restored around 20 cars and did pretty good, what you do is amazing, the paint jobs you do are over the top, love your videos.

[@bobp5356]

Beautiful job. I really like that Createx paint. Might have to give it a try.

[@luissilvia8180]

So far my favorite build. Reminds me of trucks back in mexico with the razor back, lund visor and the slotted mags.

[@2nd_a_dad4791]

“Mullet kit.” That’s perfect. Lol.

[@rcoutdoors8176]

That makes me miss my 1970short bed Chevy box truck

[@martyworley5427]

I’m loving this truck very nice!

[@ForPetesake552]

Looks really good.

[@michaelhughes3302]

Lund Racerback cab fairing. Holy s#it batman, you are bringing me way back. In the late nineties I was working for Van and Truck World... Yep, there was such a thing in Mississauga Ontario. Those were the Fast and the Furious days where "tastefully done" was not an option. Cricky!

[@charlesgiannuzzi5438]

Awesome truck I had one that color when I was in my twenty

[@neilcummings9939]

dang that paint job is sweet. the old square bodies were the best. I don't think bc had the inspection thing unless it comes from outta province or country

[@amd6570]

Roll Pans definitely still cool 🍻

[@rudimoons554]

👍 Thx 🇧🇪.

[@Jaioctai]

yes rolepans are cool! cant wait to get one on my 96 chev!

[@MrZlooze]

SWEET!!!

[@gregmoorhead365]

I like it. Deep red is great

[@bigbuckoramma]

Sport Trucks...and...STUFF.

[@joeholloway1386]

Nice build, details and paint job 👍👍

[@johnorabone6112]

How are you doing? How's the job going? Hope things are all good for you and your family. We miss the absolutely beautiful work you used to do on these die-cast cars. Hope Jimmy is good too. Blub Blub Blub . . .

[@jerrybailey5797]

Candy apple red Li'l Red Wagon , your truck could've been just perfect if it had passed the test Austin and if it was just like your model here ... maybe one day you'll find another like it or yiu could customise yourself 😉 👍

[@DeltaLimaDelta]

1:56 nice truck 🤣☠️

[@6stringgunner511]

Darn nice truck!!! I like it!!!

[@xXPARIAHXx902]

Love getting off work and seeing a new video just after completely a weekly Facebook custom challenge did a fake taxi 56 Ford delivery van with blown motor and opening hood

[@chriscargle2639]

Makes me miss my 82 k10 4x4 on 4inch lift and 33s

[@DiecastResurrection]

Damn right! I had an 80 4x4 with 4" lift leafs on 33s.

[@DavidAllen-i5g]

fantastic, great, smooooth, AAAAA+++++!!!!!!

[@lsfd208]

We still have the bargain finder in the states too

[@nethalus]

Im curremtlu making relicas in 1/43 of my car and van from 1998, memories!

[@calibre50customs12]

That is sharp, always enjoy watching your videos

[@PacosDiecastGarage]

Great build and the details are super awesome! Thanks for sharing

[@frankhays8221]

Nice job buddy looks awesome

[@code.7778]

Another awesome video, love that there's a story to go along with the build. There's maybe only 3 or 4 channels that I get pumped for every single upload, and yours is definitely one of them. Keep up the great work!

[@diecast_MikeEspo]

The work and amount of time you put into it , is amazing . Great work . OMG !!! The Paint WOW . SOOOOOOOOOOOOO KOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLL.

[@radioactivegaming9447]

Super cool

[@bradmuehlenbein]

1:54 HAHAHAHA MY MAAN!!!

[@alkinkade]

Awesomeness

[@danielkemp4801]

I think the roll-pan and other modifications are still cool, as long as they are not over-done. Ex: a 1964 Chevy Impala with "26" wheels, I don't like it. Just my opinion.

[@josephcorriveau9113]

Hello nice job on that truck great job today keep up the good work😁👍👋

[@jameskolb1942]

Roll pans will always be cool buddy

[@vinnie379l4]

Pretty sure that’s a maisto casting not a m2 looking pretty sweet though 🤙

[@Guitarrockstar5683]

Nice job I miss my 86 F150

[@darrellbedford4857]

Great looking truck. Interesting story on the truck. That story bumps this video to the top the heap. Keep up the great work. Also lets usknow when you have your mailbox set up.

[@elitt2525]

Always love the uploads 👍

[@DiecastResurrection]

Thanks for watching bro!

[@riflemanism]

...nice job

[@jp2246]

nice build!

[@dogeispro3644]

Yeah I think the roll-pans are nice because I own a 1987 Silverado with a roll pan so yeah.

[@mortenhenningsen940]

Boom. 80's rock music activated. Great job on that one. Nice collour choice. Mabye you need to get a sqarebody to drive around town with,to relive the dream you once had? Hej då

[@DiecastResurrection]

Bro I am currently living the mullet life pimping around in a 97 Tahoe with a visor lol

[@ledbyonme2064]

I would have filled in the gap on the visor there with bar lights one on each side the other than that was nice it was a good job I like to see more of that kind of work when you do when you add on.

[@Macho1213]

that come out Nice

[@lotharrenz4621]

looks great, love the shimmering red. :) and detailed interior, too! but why don't we get to see the engine bay? :) my first car was a 1977 Ford Taunus Wagon, signal green with green interior. lasted me 13 years; thrashed it because neglect and me heading for older models. though there wasn't that much to fix to begin with. I should have kept it.

[@starboy71]

Great video. I love when you get into your voices. I tune in just to hear ya talk about what you do. What you do is great work. Very entertaining and informative. I’ve learned about using styrene for other toy fabrication from watching your content. Thanks!

[@mykeg2401]

Dude same. I just wanna hang out with him and drink some beers 🍻.

[@jasongrooms1592]

Freaking sweet

[@GokhanArc]

How long do you have to wait between breaks for each coat? Are the times for paint and polish the same?

[@alkinkade]

Riverside, California

[@DavesEmpire1981]

Looks good

[@huntersessford2218]

Badass

[@Anglemyerrider57]

My first truck is going to be a 89 Chevy. I wish it was 1 year older.

[@martinsimon4025]

Like it!

[@leegoldeneagle9003]

Hello again very nice work as always love it looks very sweet my truck just like it is a 87 Dodge 4+4 Lee

[@DiecastResurrection]

[@vick_garage]

[@mentallyhilarious86]

Miss the good ol bargain finder

[@yourfriend9048]

NO WAY! another 'Berta Boy!!! what area code bud?

[@zeldadiecastracing]

Awesome work bro,nice ,love it

[@brandonleisure9999]

"Y'know, trucks n stuff"

[@TMarotti3366]

Roll pans are still cool

[@Death_tous_all]

truck ended up looking great , you should 3d print a few more of them and other 3d printed accessorys youve done in the past. ive seen alot of people selling other 3d printed stuff on ebay. some of the odds and ends youve made would prob sell decent there as alot isnt on there either way keep up the great work

[@TheFrogfeeder]

I’m late to the show, just started my very first custom truck, a Greenlight country road d100 into my 67 w100 flatbed. And this comment just caught my eye because I just ordered a bunch of 3d 1:64 accessories off eBay. There’s not a ton of it, but just enough, and some guys are willing to work from pics and make custom stuff. I really wish someone would make leaf springs and shocks and stuff, at least I ain t found it yet if they do

[@Death_tous_all]

@@TheFrogfeeder there was one floating around on ebay that did it but it was a frame springs shocks and a set of tires/rims but it was hit and miss what year/styles he would do it in. most of his work was bigger scale typically tho so had to search his work ill look to see if it was what u needed. ill have to see if i saved the seller or if hes even active now, also awesome to hear a few others are starting up best of luck on the truck trucks in the future! alot of the time people chop up the green light monster trucks for a higher stance, and swap out tires and such, or they build up the axles with a putty and add a plastic or metal piece to slide the axles thru to make the higher stances by what ive seen if they dont go the chopping up of another truck

[@vernhoke7730]

My 1st truck, I bought it in 1980 traded my '74 Camaro, was a 1978 K10 Fleetside, with 12,500 miles, 350, 4 speed, 8' box with a Fisher 8' power angle plow and a 3" lift. Living in the northeast I figured I could make a buck or 2. Well that fell flat, so I sold the plow. So I sold the plow and bought a set of ProTrac Hi Rollers 14x36/15 tires and American Racing 15x10 Aluminum wagon wheels, a 3" diameter one piece roll bar and 4 6" KC Highlighter, 2 100,000 CP & 2 250,000 CP, fog lights. That thing would go through anything.

[@robertcarter2625]

Nice

[@ericgamming5588]

AYO Alberta love it bro. Hello from Calgary

[@bengreenhotwheelsandvideos9805]
