Race Car Challenge - Hot Wheels 55 Chevy Bel Air Gasser "Frost Bite"

[@deepjunkgarage]

Now that's a proper 55 Chevrolet. Nice save on the tail lamp also. 🍻

[@DT99race]

Thanks Bob! And thanks again for the challenge 👍 Your Willys is bad ass! 😁

[@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms]

Like your version SO much better than the original! Always like seeing the dry erase tampo removal - it’s the only way to go in my book 👍

[@DT99race]

You know it Jim! Dry erase works well on mainline tampos. This one had 3 layers of paint, so it took a bit longer 👍

[@diecastoutkast6839]

Nice to see you do what you could with what you had.. worked to your advantage! Great job

[@DT99race]

Thanks Keith! 👍 I had to spray the clear coat in 45 degree temps, and it didn't tac up fast enough between coats. Bad idea spraying over sharpie, lol 😆

Excellent work Sir, Do you need to use special Dry eraser Markers, and May I ask, Where did you get your Decals for this build, TYIA, I just found your channel, Watched a few of your videos, Enjoyed every one of them, Also Subbed you Sir.

[@DT99race]

Thanks John 👍😁 Any dry erase marker should work, I think these were from Walmart. The larger ones can cover more surface area quickly. The decals were from multiple sources, some were packaged with Johnny Lightning cars when Playing Mantis owned the brand. Others are Slixx decals 😉

@@DT99race Does it matter what color markers to use when removing tampos

[@urideamabal]

So much better. . . 💯👍

[@DT99race]

Thank you Uri 👍😁

Thanks Lee! 👍😁

[@Blinco440]

If you used Sharpie markers for detail paint the clear coat will make them run?

[@DT99race]

@@Blinco440 Yes, the Sharpie will run if a solvent based clear cote is sprayed over it. Always apply Sharpie after clearing. Or use a waterbased paint such as Createx instead, which is not affected by solvents

[@Blinco440]
