    Your video inspired me to repair a badly damaged tjet body and now looks a lot better!

    Great video Troy, ironically I just replaced both front pillars of a matador body with your help. Now in process of painting the body. It’s early version of matador and doing the mark donahue paint job. Where paint lines are horizontal. Thanks for tutorials!!!

    Thank you so much for your patience and expertise. If you want to speed the super glue cure, just add some baking soda to the jointure.

    Adding in some shows on diecast cars and doing some crossover shows with diecast slot car conversions sounds good to me.

    Go with some die-cast eventually you will run out of topics with just HO slot cars. Unless you start with 1/32nd scale like Carrera etc. I'm a model builder for over 30 years and I can see your frustration with tools. I suggest you visit a model shop or online at www.micromark.com. Great source for work you are doing in restoration and any type of modelling!! Keep up the great show!!!

    Also when attaching a screw post use liquid Testors cement, Then reinforce it with Pieces of the body plastic mixed in with the liquid Testors and you won't have it break off when your done

    The bad thing about diecast conversion is the width is usually to narrow. Or lengths is long. I been trying to find the vids about shortening and widening. This guy had it down. You can shrink the mold. But takes learning by trial and error Another is molding silicone and resin. You can

    Instead of using a hack saw or the dremel for cutting down the screw posts , you could use Micro saw blades made to fit x-axt knives. Available from Micro mark
