[@captnemomodelingzone7850]

[@thomassoltis5862]

Beautiful job brother keep up the awesome work

[@gearhead762]

lookin great there Mike!

[@ronstewart9792]

Man Mike that camera is awesome. I use laundery bleach and it strips in 10 to 15 min. Engine looks great in the green with the chrome and painted parts on it. Good job so far. Ron

[@Toppervision1]

Bleach? Really? Ok, I'll try it. But now what if you forget about your parts in bleach? What if they're in there for like a week? AND, what about that yellow pre-treat gunk? I know you've got to have come up with somethin' for that in all these years? :)

[@ronstewart9792]

All I have ever stripped have come out just plastic colored. Don't know what would happen if you forgot them. I have a tub with lid an I just do it right on my work bench.

[@Toppervision1]

Hmm, that sounds like bleach also takes off the pre-treat. Wow. Cool! I will use it on the next one! Thanks!

[@Jeffsmodelgarage]

Nice camera mike I would leave the supercharger and the valve covers chrome the rest paint engine color nice update

[@Toppervision1]

[@hobbytimewithpapadan8436]

Man that camera can get close. Great looking motor. Looking forward to more updates. I’ve never built a big rig either. Papadan

[@MuttModeler]

Great update and excellent job on the engine .Love that shade of green. Also, I am a huge Awesome fan for a house cleaner. Works far better than fantastik and similar cleaners...AND its only $1 :)

[@Toppervision1]

Thank you. You know, I really need to spray a whole car with this green. Can't be just any car though.

[@garyparker2969]

Very Nice details Sir, till next time, God Bless

[@Toppervision1]

Thank you

[@CarDreamsinStyrene]

[@Madlabmodels]

Good update

[@Toppervision1]

Thank you

[@ModelCarMinion]

Nice work Mike, not familiar at all with big rigs myself. If you happen to try bleach to strip chrome I would be interested in hearing how it does.

[@Toppervision1]

Yea, I should actually film that. I can't stand the smell of bleach so I'd have to do it outside.

[@ramblers69]

Great update Mike, I use bleach or fresh super clean to strip chrome, :)

[@Toppervision1]

Amazing, everyone saying bleach and I never thought to try it. Bleach also costs basically nothing. Just trying to get away from super clean. Does bleach strip paint?

[@ramblers69]

Toppervision1 I never tried it to strip paint, sounds like a good experiment for you, :)

[@MikeCindyWhite]

Lots of chrome there Mike! l use dollar store drano(liquid plummer) It works it 3 to 5 minutes and costs around 3 bucks!! And you can keep reusing it until it gets nasty, Lol. That engine looks fantastic all painted up like you did! Have you had a chance to try the Molotow spray can yet?

[@Toppervision1]

Funny you should ask. It arrived in the mail yesterday. I didn't try it yet. I'm trying to come up with the opportunity to film the paint test. It will be up by next week. Got the big can so if it works well I'll be able to have a lot of fun with it. :)

[@ronnybogaerts3359]

great building going on mike. give detol a chance for dechroming. k.u.t.g.w.

[@bigeddie1231]

looking good sir lie the color

[@Toppervision1]

Yea it is a awesome green. I wanna paint something British with it. :)

[@dand3975]

8v 71Detroit or 318 HP was painted light green when assembled. When new they leaked lot of engine oil. Nick name was"Green Leaker". The supercharger or Blower from these semi trucks wased on drag racing cars in the 1970's.

[@Toppervision1]

Aha, I guess that is a lighter green than I used. Great info!

[@itsallgravy7]

Stopped by to help you get your KZbin hours:) Looks like you got the engine pretty good!

[@Toppervision1]

Its All Gravy lol, thanks. I had 3 channels make it past the KZbin monetization cut and they are all well past their minimums. This is one of them thank God. Thanks for helping! Did you guys survive the cut?

[@itsallgravy7]

You are very welcome! Nope, we did not survive but that's okay because we will still post till we start something new this summer:)

[@ToddHLHG]

great video Mike! What kind of camera is that?

[@Toppervision1]

That one is the Canon R700. I don't use it often in the hobby room. I don't know why. It's 57x zoom really lets you get in there tight! I usually use the Canon G30.

[@bobyoung1698]

AMT kits and older Lindberg/IMC kits are notorious for their vague instructions. I've pretty much stopped buying/building them for that reason. And AMT still hasn't addressed the sloppy molding on their older, reissued kits. Injection marks are often placed where they are impossible to remove and there's enough flash to build another model. I hope Round2 addresses these problems over time.

[@justinmyslive4108]

I can tell you none of them parts on that engine would come from the factory chromed

[@nevinmensch9545]

He used the wrong color green. He needed to use alpine green. True detroit color.

[@chris-SDI]

That ac pump is in the kit, it’s on the tree that has the exhaust parts and air intake stack. Checked 3 95 Astro kits I have and all 3 have the ac pump👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
