Mike, you put in a lot of work in that truck! Looks great!!! Great idea using those axles for muffler stacks, genius!!! And yes, I got you some of those trucks with wheels coming soon. Changed my days off so Sunday post office is closed and Mondays I am usually busy or broke, 😂

Yeah. I know how it is. I struggle with mailing out boxes too. Yeah the diesel look great now. It was sad looking a few days ago. 👍🏾😎

Thank you for the shout out brother. Brother you whipped that truck right back in the shape, it looks like she is ready for the road again. That elephant trailer does go with the truck, looks like it belongs with it for sure. It is flea market season so I will keep my eyes open for more rigs and trailers👍
@mikedison11494 ай бұрын
Cool. If you see trailer and not truck get it anyway. Because I still have the Matchbox one you sent me that comes with it's own box to store it in. And the black hotwheels one that I showed in this show. I also have the two blue ones that almost look alike. One from Alpha and the other from Kurbs Garage. Keep In mind the trailers need to be the right size. A Road champ brand is the correct size. Also a racing Champion trailer and Maisto brand are the correct size. Even some no name brands are the correct size the hotwheels ones are not to scale and not interesting they are too wide. Anyway. Your welcome on the shout out. Thanks again for the ol gal. She's ready to roll now. ✌🏾😎

It’s always good to see matching wheels with the truck and trailer 😊 the JB weld doesn’t look half bad. I might have to try that. I always use hot glue, but it ends up falling off.
@mikedison11493 ай бұрын
Yeah. If you use the J. B. Weld. Get the package that says. KWIK on it. And if you use it use it in very small amounts because it sets fast and if you mix up too much at a time it will set before you can use it all. I use toothpicks to mix it and apply it. I use the card board from cracker boxes to mix it up on. When your using it to put castings back together. Just put some around the post before you put the base on then once the base is in place just rub the tooth pick over the end of the post to get a good bond and swirl the pick around as you lift away and the weld will look fare. Sometimes I get in too big of a hurry and it gets everywhere. Be sure you have paper towels handy to remove access weld if it gets on the wrong places. And to keep your fingers clean because it does get on your fingers. Oh and if you can when putting parts together. Take a knife and make cut marks on each surface to be welded. BEFORE YOU MIX THE WELD that helps make a good bond. Like I said. That weld sets in 5 minutes or less. The package says 6 minutes. But it's less. You'll get the hang of it. Just like I did. I love using it. Things go faster. Cleans up better than super glue too. I get mine from ORallys. J. B. Weld Kwik. ✌🏾😎

Great rebuild!!! I guess the tire and wheel shop has added body work. Maybe its time for a new name???
@mikedison11494 ай бұрын
There's always been repairs going on. But no name change will take place. The repair work is a weekend thing a hobby Pete and I take seriously when necessary. So sorry the name won't get changed to protect the innocent. Lol.

Yes. Those wheels look more diesel wheels in my opinion. I'm glad I found all those bank trucks for their wheels. They were a peg warmer anyway. I'm glad you like the outcome. Thanks for watching 👍🏾😎
