[@slotvalleyracing]

It was a solid block with only stuff on the outside and then I carved it all out! How did the move go?

[@Gale_Force_Raceway]

@@slotvalleyracing OMG the move. Let’s start with saying I have SOLID FRIENDS!! Started 9 to 5-30. Today is unpacking party, so mostly the ladies now.. and me running cabling everywhere. Every joint in my body cracks and aches LOL! Back on topic.. you CARVED the camper!!? Wow!!!

Great looking set!

[@ronwilson8586]

The color is called fuchsia

[@slotvalleyracing]

Thanks for watching Ron!

[@ronwilson8586]

You are quite welcome Dan!!! Much like Robert fish I like a man who speaks the truth instead of the falsehood profiteer by the name of Brian Young who only cares about ripping people off and not about the hobby itself. Speaking as a former customer that has sense cancelled membership with the rip-off artist Young family, especially since the candy striper fiasco has taken place, and felt that they needed to make a comedy skit about it. Calling it candy gate. And literally laughing and belittling their customers in a livestream was appalling. Who thinks he's making the hobby great when in reality he's killing it, especially for our kids they can't afford this hobby.

[@slotvalleyracing]

I needed to remove myself from that mess! Thanks Ron!

[@ronwilson8586]

@@slotvalleyracingI hear you Dan That's why I removed myself and canceled my membership and refuse to have anything to do with them anymore, they really showed their true colors. I started noticing it getting out of hand when they started doing the bidding on their cars once they seen how much these people were bidding and paying for one car over $100 and up they got real greedy real fast. Robert and I have spoke about this and pretty good detail I'll be contacting him later tonight, Robert posted a pretty good lengthy letter today on the fan page today but of course Brian doesn't get it all he cares about is ripping people off. And the way Brian belittled and literally laughed in Robert's face on that candy gate livestream when he was driving to Chick-fil-A to ram chicken nuggets down his gullet really ticked me off to. I don't know if you caught the beginning of the candy gate stream live stream with the press conference further laughing at the customers and belittling them what's sickening also. I live in Ohio and are going to charge m$ 7.95 to deliver one car, they're roughly 45 minutes from me and Wayne but the kicker to that is they ship it to Michigan to come back to Ohio talk about ridiculous. And every item I added to the basket jacked up the shipping, by the time I put four items in the cart I was up to $20. Between October 2021 when I joined & July 2022 I was charged almost $200 in shipping and handling that's another thing played into my reasoning for leaving them besides them being greedy and treating the customers like crap. It is sickening what they charge to ship to you is unreal.

[@slotvalleyracing]

People love to see other peoples stuff! Sounds like you are itching to get some skin back in the game? Now is definitely the time! HO is exploding lately, lots of new creators! Maybe just do a few videos of your collection without you in it just talking and then after you are warmed up...BAMM! As for the Iwheel i have no interest in buying cars I have payed for the look then having someone strip the color from them...No Thanks they are missing out on this great color!

[@MikeRemvidas]

@@slotvalleyracing yeah , I was thinking on a collection update and it’s about time I did so. Thanks for the feedback 👍🏻🏁✌🏼

[@dennisosborn5589]

Cool Car! Paint looks like a Ruby Red color with Metal Flake.

[@slotvalleyracing]

They did the paint like this because of the AFX blue paint job on the Mustang I'll bet!

[@dennisosborn5589]

@@slotvalleyracing I had a 32 Ford Victoria model & I painted it Ruby Red on the body, & Sapphire on the Fenders for a 2 Tone Paint Scheme. It's in the middle of those 2 colors, but Cooler!

[@clydesampson6966]

That 55gasser look like a dark hot pink .that a nice set.go 4 the super speed way.🏁🏁🏁✌️

Next time!

[@GerryEst]

Still cooking with gas,dude! What's with the offside wheel sticking out so far?

[@slotvalleyracing]

How the chassis sits on the 55

[@almcg4425]

Hi Dan, It looks like hot pink nail polish to me 🤔. The car is absolutely fantastic looking, and coming from an AFX guy as you know that says a lot 😎 . The car looks really cool on the track Thanks again for another Awesome video and review🏁🏁🏁. Al

[@slotvalleyracing]

Totally agree that this is up there for looks!

[@BigDaddyCaveman1]

Redline restorations has the 'Candy' colors properly reproduced from the OG Hotwheels. Including this hot pink.

[@richardlocher3789]

[@slotvalleyracing]

That would be cool!

[@markmeidenbauer6533]

Cool Ho slot car

[@BigDaddyCaveman1]

Magenta is the only color that all people viewing it see differently. The Hot wheels diecast Version is 1500 bucks,,,,,,so I made my own. Will do with this also!

[@slotvalleyracing]

Ya before I made this video I was checking to see what it was worth! I found the HotWheels Pink Candy VW van for $5000

[@slotvalleyracing]

Please send or post when your done? Do you do lots of custom work?

[@BigDaddyCaveman1]

@@slotvalleyracing actually quite a few.🙂

[@BigDaddyCaveman1]

@@slotvalleyracing I don't know where or how to send pic's

[@daniele.markle6428]

Never understood why anyone would pay that price when these paint schemes aren't that hard to do yourself with some practice. $1,500 will pay for a LOT of practice.

[@CHixon]

The color of the '55 Chevy Candy Striper is fuchsia. Fuchsia is a Mopar color "furious fuchsia" available on certain Jeeps, RAMs, and Challengers. Also available as a nail polish color Sally Hansen Insti-Dri 050 "The Future is Fuchsia". You mentioned at the end that it is an AutoWorld Exclusive. However this Candy Striper is NOT an AutoWorld Exclusive and has a normal production run of maybe 3000-5000 cars, or whatever AW runs their batches as these days. It is sold at Hobby Lobby as well as many of the hobby shops. You will find it listed on Page 3, left column of the AutoWorld Product Catalogue. The Candy Striper AutoWorld Exclusive car is a CHROME car, which is listed on the back cover of the AutoWorld Product Catalogue, comes in a different style blister pack.

[@slotvalleyracing]

Thank for the info!

[@mikeclayton2626]

Still waiting on mine from Autoworld Dan 😢

[@slotvalleyracing]

Totally worth the wait!

[@All-ScaleSlotCars]

Great video on this beautiful car, Dan! I'm looking forward to when mine will arrive. Would you happen to know just how many of this "regular" version were produced? I can't find an exact answer. It seems as though there are 1488 of the version with the fancy "flames" artwork (and like you, I have no interest in the iWheels white version, so I wouldn't even care how many they made of that). But I've been trying to figure out how many of this version there are out there. If it's also 1488 or so, I probably won't open it, but if it's like 10,000, it's going on the track where it belongs! Sorry for the long paragraph but thanks for reading and for all you do! Dennis

[@slotvalleyracing]

AW has nothing special so they do this craziness to get the old timers going!

[@ROMAN-ud7ej]

Hi is this diecast model and is the base made of plastic or metal

[@slotvalleyracing]

This is a plastic body and chassis slot car 1/64. There is one that is metal!

[@freedomone776]

Paint is a total disappointment. Mine isn't pink at all. It's more like ruby drab mauve color. I have the real 55 Hot Wheels Candy Striper and the AutoWorld version doesn't do the real HW Candy Striper justice! Get your sh!t right Autoworld.

[@slotvalleyracing]

Agreed!!!
