Yes! This was what I hoped would happen when I sent this. I knew you would use this casting to its full potential, Chuck. Amazing. Keep your eye out for a package on Monday or Tuesday. Also, thank you for adding “slapdashedly” to my vocabulary. 👍 I can’t explain it, but this is my new favorite one you’ve ever done. The paint and deco is very clever. It all looks cohesive.

[@DiecastMediaNetwork]

Thanks again for the car! It was perfect for this. When Jamie issued the challenge I knew immediately it was time for this car to shine. Thanks again for the kind words, David! I'll keep an eye out for the mail too. 😊

[@FordMonsterTruck]

Funny enjoy we at JC's are talking about turning a mopar into a demo derby car haha. Very cool Chuck! Thanks for the shout out!

[@DiecastMediaNetwork]

As long as that Mopar isn't Lilas!

[@danschopshop7939]

Dude..... it looks like you could enter that in a real Demo derby.... crazy good

[@DiecastMediaNetwork]

Thanks so much, Dan! I really appreciate it.

[@cdzadek]

Such a strong paint job! and we love that chain-link windshield!

[@DiecastMediaNetwork]

One might say that, much like the car, those colors...don't run. Thanks for watching, friend!

[@wadehendryx7378]

Another great piece of art Chuck. Another winner. Hope your doing well. Take care my friend.

[@DiecastMediaNetwork]

Thanks, Wade! So far things are going well today and I'm grateful for that. Thanks as always for the kind words and support

[@1st64thcustoms5]

gorgeous Chuck!!!

[@DiecastMediaNetwork]

Cheers, Kristian! Thanks again for the support. Kia kaha.

[@justinellis9925]

Really liked the pacing and detail on this one (especially the Peacemaker design on the back). Keep up the awesome work and thanks for promoting the merch store 👍.

[@DiecastMediaNetwork]

Thanks, bro! Appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching

[@DannysDrivingDisasters]

Great build mate 👍

[@DiecastMediaNetwork]

Cheers, Danny! Thanks for checking it out.

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Educational and enjoyable. Every time! Thanks, Chuck. I really like this one. Good luck in the Derby! 🍁

[@DiecastMediaNetwork]

Glad you enjoyed it! I'm not sure if I'm disqualified for being technically late depending on what time zone you're in, but it was still a really fun build.

[@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms]

I love how this turned out Chuck! I've seen a couple of the builds so far and for some reason, the part I keep liking the most is the signs on top of the cars lol Maybe I've had too much coffee today.

[@DiecastMediaNetwork]

Haha! Hey, as long as you like it, I won't judge which part is your favorite. Enjoy the coffee!

[@opasdiecastrestorations8611]

That turned out marvelous my friend if you had a little driver and gas that thing would be ready for the demo run! Keep up the great work my friend!

[@DiecastMediaNetwork]

Thanks, Opa! I'm glad you liked it. This was a lot of fun to do and it was a great challenge idea from DDD.

[@OldManDiecast]

Great build.....The exhaust almost got you....LOL

[@DiecastMediaNetwork]

Tell me about it. Of all the times to use a premium, detailed casting! Thanks for watching, Pete!

[@matchboxman1518]

That looks so good! Very realistic! I love it. I like the “imperfections” as it is a beater! Roof sign looks great, love those things, it reminds me of taxis lol.

[@DiecastMediaNetwork]

Thanks! I'm so glad you liked it. This was a lot of fun. Thanks for commenting!

Wow that is so cool👍 Well done Chuck Stay fresh

[@DiecastMediaNetwork]

Thanks, Adam! Much freshness to you as well.

[@hwcmdls7905]

This Monaco is by far my favorite build on your channel! I’ve always went to the demolition derby as a kid and saw a lot of these big old late 70s and early 80s American cars. Just absolute behemoths ramming eachother. Looks incredible as always! Been rewatching a lot of vids recently!

[@DiecastMediaNetwork]

Thank you! It's one of my favorite builds too. The casting really lends itself to derby builds. Might have to do another.

[@cudasdiecastcustoms7567]

I I I love it!!!!!!! This was the best candidate for this kind of build and you also knocked it out of the Park!!!! If there was any kind of build to do for you truck this was the kind of build and it’s amazing, great job buddy!!! I wish I knew about this build!!! I feel so behind at times😂 if I was going to do this I would done like a Continental or something big like a station wagon

[@DiecastMediaNetwork]

Thanks, Cole! Yeah, this was a really fun challenge. I liked that it had actual technical goals to hit like the internal tank and battery box. I wanted to do a station wagon, but this car from David is absolutely perfect for a demo derby candidate and I've been looking for excuses to do more Greenlights.

[@bearyelverton720]

[@diecastdungeon8970]

Amazing transformation man!! Very realistic for sure ... you need to do a "Banger" car from the U.K. Most are simple stripped cars, but some have very elaborate paint jobs only to be destroyed in the end. Check it out on YT. Great job.

[@DiecastMediaNetwork]

That sounds amazing. I'll check it out. Cheers, sir.

[@carljohnson2467]

This is a deep build. Pretty cool. You know, you should be wearing gloves while you're working on your builds. Getting dirty with all that metal dust and particles and paints and wearing gloves would even help preventing injuries in case of slippage with a tool. I can't begin to tell you how many times I've slipped and yet minimized injury. Just sayin'......

[@DiecastMediaNetwork]

That's a good point, Carl. Thank you. I do try to be as safe as possible but accidents do happen.

[@thakustomizerdiecast9796]

New sub, 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@DiecastMediaNetwork]

Thanks, friend! Nice to have you here.

[@AlexBabcock-hw9iz]

Hmmm one thing you missed is that pole and flag the driver breaks off when his car is not running anymore. Other then that that's a great demo car.

[@DiecastMediaNetwork]

I know what you mean. Surprisingly that wasn't in the rules for this particular derby but I've build a 1/25 scale car with that flag. Thanks, Chris!

[@AlexBabcock-hw9iz]

@@DiecastMediaNetwork Rules? We don't need no stinkin rules.....

[@ripwreckraceway]

wish i had the money

[@DiecastMediaNetwork]

I know. Budget can be frustrating, but you do incredible art already and building with what you've got is a great way to learning improvisation and techniques you couldn't try without restrictions

[@ripwreckraceway]

@@DiecastMediaNetwork right back @ yah brah and the things i learn from you i gotten a little better ! always thank for the inspiration brother !

[@Luke-san]

Haha a car that has too much detail sounds strange for someone who is admiring the detail some of these cars have. But yet again out of this world result and editing!

[@DiecastMediaNetwork]

Yeah, in this case it was a double edged sword. Thanks, Luc! Glad you liked the build!

Helps keep your hands clean too. Don’t you just hate scrubbing paint off of your fingers? Drives me nuts.

[@DiecastMediaNetwork]

True, although I don't consider a day fully seized unless my hands are messy. ;)

[@lotharrenz4621]

aw, poor model. :P if the guys at Greenlight knew what you did they'd surely sqirm for a moment. and then applaud. so it's Devils Details Diecast Demo Derby Dshallendsh? dats a lod of Dee's, davey. serious, looks great! interesting details all around, and she surely roars thunder. :) personally I'm not sure if I like to watch demo derbies, all those nice and sometimes, rare vehicles being destroyed... surely most are beyond repair to begin with. but especially the brits run ancient rolls and bentleys and jags and austins, and I keep wondering if there is really nobody wanting them anymore? but that's just me. don't want it, don't watch, and all that. :)

[@DiecastMediaNetwork]

Thank you! I agree I like the idea of the derby more than the actual practice. Luxury cars often have a very strange and short lifespan before becoming classics again. Rolls and Bentleys are often custom built for a particular client so the touches that make them unique have a limited appeal to other owners. Between that and the high maintenance costs, there's a very select few people that would want a secondhand luxury car and still be able to afford the upkeep. S Class Mercs are like that here. A car that sells for $110k will sell for less than $10k secondhand and then be scrapped after that. It's very strange. That does sound interesting to watch. Never thought of seeing Rolls smashing themselves up.

[@lotharrenz4621]

@@DiecastMediaNetwork the often don't last very long. the frames in the cellar are sturdy like a trucks', but the bodies lack a crash zone and fold up easily. another problem with these rolls is that if maintenance wasn't done properly the resulting repairs can cost several fortunes, and a buyer's guide from a magazine recently advised to steer clear from such vehicles. maybe that's another factor in them getting demolitioned. we got a Porsche Cayenne here recently, needed both brake sets, which was over 1200 euros. and a new battery, because the previous one was too tall and slid against the seat (they nestled it underneath the driver seat, can you believe that?) and killed the seat adjustment computer... the door lock was cheap VW stuff, but replacing it took us two days. yes, I can see why luxury cars can become cheap soon.
