Finished Sidewinder - with chromecolored chrome

A closer look at my buildup of the Tom Daniel show rod Sidewinder, from Atlantis. And how to get rid of the red "burnt copper chrome" in one minut.

My kit has now been bought and will become a slot car very soon. I will be following what you have done here quite closely as I like what you have done !!

[@kimskustomgarage9578]

Thank you. I’m looking foreward to seeing it as a slot car 😃

The Sidewinder turned out great Kim! I like the extras that you did on this kit. Thanks for the tip on using rubbing alcohol to remove the tinted chrome. I really enjoy Tom Daniels' kits and I've been waiting for this kit to arrive at my local hobby shop.

Thank you Tom, I appriciate it 😃
And your welcome, its a neat little trick. So many modelbuilders are very unhappy with the tinted Chrome, and it is so easy to get rid off 🙂

Nice build. It makes me think to restart my Tom Daniels Pie Wagon...

[@kimskustomgarage9578]

Thank you, and yeah you should. The community could use some more show rods 😃

Very nice job thanks for the tip.
Is the steer wheel on the wrong side? Because the steering arm going to the front suspension on the right.

[@kimskustomgarage9578]

Thank you. Well, its built like its supposed too, with the steering wheel on the left side. I have never thought of that before 🤔🤨

[@russellpoland6637]

i like what You did with the kit, both of them in fact Kim! That gold You used is stunning! I will have to get some of that to try out. I think Your choice of Red for the various highlights was spot on too! That is a very clever find for the "copper" chrome removal. But I do wonder what that TS-21 Gold and the copper chrome would look like together?? I like what your doing, Please keep sharing Your work with Us here in tubeland! Looking forward to the next video Kim! Take Care, Be Safe, God Bless, Later

[@kimskustomgarage9578]

Thank you very much for the kind words, Russell, I really appriciate it. 🙏
Yes its a beautiful Gold color. I found out that Tamiya has a lot of very nice spray Can colors.
I actually thought of that, the Gold paint with the copperred Chrome. Think it would be nice, but I do like the ordinary Chrome better 😅
Thank you again and God bless 😃
