You’re going to have a whole army of these here soon

I really really like the music you have when you are spray painting those pieces white. You shoul use that tune alot more.👍

You made racing slick tires!!

Oh wow.... 👏👏 that is absolutely amazing. You took a starved street mutt and turned it into a pedigree show dog. Top work Dave

Never fail to amaze Dave. Your design, and fabrication skills are on point. I little suggestion on the tires though. I've built my share of plastic model car kits. I use a battery operated drill with a socket attachment 19mm socket usually works pretty well. What ever the tires fit on nice and tight. Use some course sand paper. Runn the drill, and the rubber comes off pretty quick. Pluss it keeps them round. If I'm recreating street tires. I heat up a file with a torch, hot but not to hot, roll the tire across it, and it sorta simulates tire tread. Hase to be a really heavy toothed file though. An amazing job as always either way. You've helped me so many times with these toys. Just thought I would share that with you. Hope it helps out some time.

Another ACE toy repair ,vintage toys getting a 2nd chance at longer shelf time , instead of heading to a waste can

I'm still always quite impressed whenever you scratchbuild stuff! Must take a lot of time and patience to get the parts down, honestly.

Always loved this piece as well!

Hey Dave I enjoy watching you create pieces for toys. Looking out of my window here in Manitoba Canada, those tires would not be of any use...haha I hope Yous enjoy your weekend.

Who needs a 3D printer when you can just old school scratch build the parts you need out of polystyrene. WOW! Most impressive work my friend. Excellent job👍👏👏👏👏

Exactly. You don't need expensive equipment to fix toys like this. Some styrene sheets and a bit of thinking and you can make something that really works.

Lovely sink.

Scale model car supply shops have tires in all kinds of scales and styles. 1:24 and 1:25 are 2 real common sizes and tons of aftermarket parts for them. There is a giant worldwide community of people that build and mod model cars.

Man I am convinced that toy polloi can build a 3 bedroom 2 car garage with a pool out of styrene

Is that like giving monkeys typewriters 🤣 I'm only good at 1/12th scale or smaller 😋

These vintage toys can really benefit from 3D printing technology. I know I'll be bringing up the whole genuine vintage parts vs custom reproductions debate but at the end of the day, we just want a fixed, working toy for our display, or a beloved childhood treasure given a new lease of life.

Dave should make it then mass 3d print and sell these parts he makes

Betcha those hot tires smelled lovely! LOL

As you have the original part, I would love to see you experiment with creating your own silicone molds and "casting" your own replacement part. The same concept could be used for tires as well. Just a thought.

Kids often do unusual things with their toys! :D

You need to figure a way to chuck those tires on a drill and just go to town with some sandpaper.

I think someone tried to reglue the stickers to the toy which would explain why it has PVA all over it, it probably didn’t adhere to the smooth surface of the car well and they all dropped off and went to the bottom of the toy box where they were ruined or lost.

Whenever Dave says something like 'Its a little rough' or 'Not as perfect as the original', I'm always reminded of Doc Brown from the 'Back To The Future' movies when he says 'Excuse the crudeness of the model' despite its incredible detail. Lol!!!

Incredible work sir. Question: If I was cleaning a toy with electronics (Exo Squad specifically) would it be safe to do as you do and scrub it with a toothbrush and water but of course not submerge it?

I just finished watching this guy testing chrome paints. He used your preffered paint of choice. But a supprising one he did find was metallic powders used in the nail polish industry that he seemed to preffer over your mirror paint kzread.info/dash/bejne/oJ2i0qSuqrG5qLQ.html might be worth a look as it may work out cheaper. Although I imagine the nail powder alternative will need a protective top coat.

Lol Toy Polloi is burning rubber to get this car to the finish line

So no one is making reproduction MASK tires? I guess that’s a side effect of it not being as big of a franchise compared to GI Joe or Transformers. But your custom ones still look great.

Not that I know of. If anyone is please let me know as I would happily share them with other toy collectors.

Loved the process. On the matter of reducing tire tread, I wonder if you could have used a shaving process like this:kzread.info/dash/bejne/nniOso-fj6bWgs4.html . For something this small, using sandpaper instead of the blade would work, I think. Thoughts?

Why are you sing lighter fluid? Surely there's better products out there you can use?
