[@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms]

Thanks Mike!

[@ricobobe]

Killer lil build Jim! Flea Flyin' Fantastic! 👊❤

[@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms]

Thanks Ricobobe!

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Once again, we're thinking alike, Jim. Tooned is the way to go with this theme! The angry Flea looks great with the treatment you gave it. Couldn't believe that someone is selling the cabs for the Tooned Silverado! Great fun watching you have fun with this one. Thanks as always for participating in the monthly Four Horsemen invitational. 🍁☕👍

[@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms]

LOL Yep, Tooned really seemed the way to go! I was shocked that there was ANYTHING being sold for the Tooned Silverado -- who knew there would be any demand for such a thing lol? Thanks so much Andrew!

[@matchboxmark8191]

This turned out so amazing! You are a magician Mr. Silva!!

[@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms]

Thanks Mark! Not a magician but I can print a mean decal lol

[@armandoflores462]

[@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms]

Thanks Brandon! It was goofy fun!

[@OldManDiecast]

Another killer build Jim!!!

[@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms]

Thanks Pete! I don't know about the Flea being a "killer build", but it does get you itching for the next one lol

[@junkjockey]

Awesome job .... i likey it

[@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms]

Thanks!

[@simplekustomsbyeddiepapand1838]

I think the flea needs shocks !! Lol 😆 to off set the hight Jim!! Give it a little more deep!! Great job once again love the look !!

[@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms]

Shocks?! Nahhhhh...that might make the ride too comfortable LOL Thanks Eddie!

[@jodezero]

Incredible. I made a Silverado joke in my build video, but you redeemed this casting. Love how it came out. Great job Jim

[@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms]

Thanks so much Jody! Deathrace 2024 is on my bench right now...and I'm having an issue with painting a rubbery plastic feature of the build...so it may not be pretty, but I'm gonna get 'er done.

[@shanewilson284]

I'm not usually a fan of Tooned cars either but i have three colours of Tooned Twin Mills that i think look very cute :)

[@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms]

The Tooned Twin Mills are interesting - I did a custom one a while back to match the other "sister" Twin Mills I've done.

[@mikesmodscustoms]

Very cool Jim! Great chassis work. Watch out for "The Flea"

[@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms]

Thanks Mike!

[@lotharrenz4621]

kind of adorable. :) here is an idea: recreate it in a larger scale and put this one into the larger one's trunk, together with RC stuff like it was a RC car. :) or a mini-me version. ^^

[@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms]

Thanks Lothar! Adorable is what I was going for...kind of like a grumpy cat thing lol. It's funny you should mention a smaller version/larger version build. I did a Matchbox custom earlier this year and I'm planning an even smaller version of the same build for around the middle of June (fingers crossed).

[@RoadWarrior_John]

A fun little build, and a improvement over the original, just be carful taking those corner, ha ha ha

[@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms]

Thanks John! Corners are something approached VERY carefully...always stopping first, then gently easing around the curve LOL

[@marksmithdiecast001]

That is so cool! Wonderful build! I love the FLEA!

[@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms]

Thanks so much Mark - it was definitely a fun build to do!

[@russhoffman6301]

Absolutely love it!

[@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms]

Thanks Russ!

[@SoMoDiecast]

The Flea is awesome Jim!

[@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms]

Thanks Ron!

[@paulayenkelun4349]

Hi Jim, I think it is an awesome looking truck. I think you should design diecast cars. Anyway, take care. Stay safe.

[@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms]

Thank you so much Paula! I'm having more than enough fun just doing the little cars here...designing them seems like work...and those days are long behind me lol. Thanks so much for the message! You stay safe and take care out there too!.

[@skippullen8667]

Another great build, Jim! It is always fun to see what you come up with. Thanks again for joining us for another build.

[@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms]

Thanks Skip! It was fun...although I'm not quite sure what I'll do for this months build (hope I'm able to get something done).

[@lennonjames3871]

That is a funny lookin Lil thing nice job jim.👍😂

[@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms]

[@texasdiecastcustoms]

Excellent video Jim. The Flea turned out great. I like the paint.

[@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms]

Thanks Todd! It was a lot of fun coming up with the Flea idea for this little casting.

[@davidbeeson1178]

It is bloody sweet brother, the tooned Silverado after it ate some spinach 💪.

[@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms]

LOL Thanks David!

[@aaronglaab6304]

Its so silly 🤣🤣 i love it! Awesome build jim. Always a highlight of my day when you drop a video

[@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms]

Thanks so much Aaron! I had fun with such a silly build - I laughed all the way through it lol

[@aaronglaab6304]

@@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms not gonna lie im itching for another gaslands build though… i might have to send you a little something to get them juices flowing in your veins again

[@davidparker8221]

Both you and our "Canadian at large" Andrew at Maple Leaf to date have done the impossible. You made something from a Toon'd casting I enjoyed. Did "The Flea" make me flee as Toon'd castings do? No! Was the flea from the goat? No! Did the Goat get my goat? No! Did the Dakota governor get your goat? No! 🎉 Had me worried for a moment... Have fun with your toys!

[@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms]

No one got my goat, not even the flea, nor did the flea flee from the goat lol. You were worried for a moment David...I'm really worried lol. Also, had to laugh at the "Canadian at large" comment as the first thing I thought of was that Andrew was on the lamb...not the goat.

[@danschopshop7939]

Well....... you didn't make it any worse .... LOL.... Great job

[@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms]

That's always my goal...to do no harm (he says as he hides the jewelers saw behind his back lol) Thanks Dan!

[@GrinchWitch]

Lol, c'mon a little mayhem is FUN... especially with jewelers saws​@@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms

[@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms]

@@GrinchWitch 🤣🤣🤣 I have no idea what you're talking about 🤣🤣🤣

[@GrinchWitch]

Came out great. I'm not fond of tuned cars usually but the flea is cute.

[@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms]

Thanks GW!

[@urideamabal]

Yeah, not a huge fan of Tooned, but that turned out great, Jim. 😁👍

[@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms]

Thanks Uri!

[@southpawdiecast8352]

Wow that was a cool build and it was a different type of custom. As small as it was you can call it a Flea Bite lol 😂😂

[@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms]

Thanks Scott! It was a goofy little build but a lot of fun!

[@hhwcustoms]

Just seen that you made this video! Great work! Glad you were able to use some of my parts on this! :)

[@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms]

Thanks! They worked out great! Your parts are fantastic and I'm really looking forward to working on the gasser parts I picked up recently.

[@hhwcustoms]

@@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms I subscribed so I look forward to seeing what you do with those gasser parts!

[@mikeclary147]

Michael Balzary would approve !!! ( Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers ).

[@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms]

🤣🤣🤣 Thanks!

[@chevylandt.v]

Nice build, I built a twin mill. I like how you added the flea on it.

[@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms]

Thanks Diego! I'll have to check it out!

[@hotwheeleveryday]

Outstanding Jim! I got a bunch of ideas from this build. With the rolling part, if you reemed out the holes the axles pass thru, do you think they might have spun more freely. Thanks for the content. You are definitely my favorite KZbin Hotwheel customizer! peace ... Bugs over @hotwheeleveryday

[@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms]

Thanks so much Bugs! I think it would have been a tight balance between making the wheels spin more freely and then having a sloppy fit -- I think it may be the nature of a metal rod spinning through a resin printed tube that something like graphite might be an easy solution (or make it go horribly wrong lol). Possibly the best solution would be to just drill out the holes even more largely and line it with an axle tube...or replace it entirely with an axle tube. The wheels do spin...just not quickly lololol

[@Trommelfritz]

Excellent and meticulous work, as we know it from you. Monster trucks aren't really my thing, but when you said "Grave Digger", I was taken aback, because I did know that one. Is "The Flea" real or did you make it up? It's unbelievable what you can buy as accessories....

[@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms]

Thanks so much Fritz! The Flea is entirely made up…it almost had a slightly different name…but it looked odd in print lol. It truly is unbelievable that anything was available for such an odd casting.

[@Trommelfritz]

@@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustomsWhat other name? If there was no demand, there would be no accessories. I wouldn't have thought that this thing would have such a big fan base that it would be worth making accessories for it.
