Hot Wheels, Door Slammer lead pour update Oh WOW, this is a beast

[@cutrockr-diecastracing2773]

Yep, we watching this! You can take Christmas off! Maybe the dogs were barking, as they want to drive at Bathurst! I think you may have to get Lee to sign a waiver!! Heavyweight flyers! Axle time! Cheers

Thanks mate, I need to do balances before I do anything else. I heard blue Line and JAC have a secret they are not sharing. I friend told me they do something and it leaves NO residue. Hmmm.

Dang- _Nabbit!_ Ol' Deputy Dawg and his nemesis, Muskie the Muskrat! Maybe Muskie is who your dogs were yelling at today Just offering my observations on how this mould went, leaving alone that you did go at this from a different direction, seems to me that one half of it has too large an impression of the interior, leaving the other half to get only a tiny bit to work with. A more even split, top to bottom, could yield better, more consistent results and maybe get it so when you're ready, that the lead piece comes out easier Been a while since I last saw you take front/rear measurements, don't overlook that. For this car and how that interior piece is so big, I think adding weight in this fashion is the way to go Yikes, you had to hacksaw the top after the lead settled. I'm leaning towards making the mould as you did before, with the flute carved in the end. Seems like more steps taken but perhaps not achieving as good a result

Dogs were barking at nothing. It was an experiment remember. I wanted a clean front bumper. I can still do that. I used a bandsaw t,o cut the top off. That 1st pour went into the furnace, but the rest all came out the same, no front bumper. So here we are thinking about what is next. Thank you.

Looks like a whale shark mouth...awesome!

[@sstdiecastracing2372]

Oh WOW, yes it does mate. Going to measure and check balance. However, I really want the front bumper. I will test and check. Thank you for the videos. They are a bit long but I find time to watch. I, and my co-worker, love you include the children in the commentary. We think that is wonderful.

@sstdiecastracing2372 can you make a front bumper separately and glue in place? Might save having to redo the whole thing. 109 grams...a BEHEMOTH! In regards to the video length, I considered splitting the races into 2 separate uploads, which would actually be better for the channels analytics, but the final 24, for example, would have taken 3 months to get through, rather than 6 weeks. I know they are a little long, but the action is worth it, I reckon. The boys do a fab job and I'm very proud of them. Thanks for finding the time for us brother.

@@BathurstDiecastRacing The length of video does not matter. One must get the info posted. I found trying to make a "short" video, I lose a lot of info. So sometimes, the video needs to be long. Besides, 10 minutes is too fast to drink a beer. Do not change anything. Love that Croc though, Hee Hee Hee. My back hurts. Still working on the 2nd Door Slammer to make it fit. Taking a break.

@@BathurstDiecastRacing OOPS, No, cut the original front bumper off and glue the original in place. Thanks. BEHEMOTH? ahhh, The stangs are 112g. Hee Hee Hee.
