    So sorry to hear about the accident that your family was in and glad they are healing. As an exAmusment park employee what you are doing is really fascinating to me. Keep up the great work Pete and thanks for keeping these old rides running and out of the scrapers hands.

    Just discovered your channel and restoration project and though several months later I hope your family is far along the journey to completely recovery. There’s nothing more important in life than our health and well being. Wishing you and your family the best.

    Glad your family is healing and doing well Pete! I think your plan to work on two projects is a good way to go. In restorations, there are always lull periods on a project as you wait for supplies, glue dry times, etc.... I, have to do this often, and, from a RUclips creators perspective (which doubles the time it takes to do any project :) it has helped me be more consistent with the uploads (it also give you and the viewer a break). I really enjoy your work and your channel Pete.

    Great update and I hope the family is now well, healed and healthy!...I am an old carnie from the 80's and I am thoroughly enjoying your amusement ride restoration projects! I think the second ride you announced today was a great project to start slowly and along with the first ride to keep things going! I agree with the previous person that mentioned the aluminum diamond plate would be a great addition if it wasn't for the high cost. That second ride did remind me of the old Hampton Umbrella rides that still exist today! Great Job and Keep up the Great work!

    • @PeteRondeau
      @PeteRondeau  2 года назад +1

      Its been a long few months but the family is all back to work. Still some issues that are just going to take time. Thank you for your thoughts. Diamond plate is probably the best long term solution but it is a bit pricey. Thanks for watching!

    Late seeing this (Only pretty recently found this channel after those ride setup videos) but hope your family's recovery went well. And I'm probably late in regards to what the plan is for these projects but an idea of what possibly could be done is make the Rocket as original as possible in the restoration and this Combo could possibly be going the route of more modernized and upgraded from the original based on how damaged the lighting already is and how the platform is so worn down, it seems like it could be interesting going for the best of both worlds route on the two projects.

    • @PeteRondeau
      @PeteRondeau  Год назад +1

      everyone is pretty much back to normal, thanks. That is along the lines of what I'm thinking too. Rocket will definitely be traditional. On the combo I especially want to try to restore the lights on the vehicles that were all removed at some point. I may try to replicate the old fixtures, but with new internals. And do something different with the decking.. Thanks for watching!

      LOL, we are going to do this one a bit different. On the last ride we just started ripping it apart, This one I am going to attempt to set up in its current state so that I can get a complete before and after picture rather than just a jumble of parts.

    well pete sorry to here about your family hope they get well fast. I too have been waiting for your new videos. I also bought a new ride but mine is a little bit more than i can chew, but chewing it down slowly. when you do the steering wheels let me know I would be interested in 10-12 ? the new ride looks nice just like the stuff i buy. today i'm building train track. The fiberglass tubs are in great shape. cleaning them up use a palm sander w/220 grit. I'm changing my lights to led just for cost reasons also there 24 volt and co. prices are to high. the flooring /sides the newer ones (hampton rides) are aluminum much lighter than wood or steel. i also am building s jib crane to remove the larger toys. thanks steve

    • @PeteRondeau
      @PeteRondeau  2 года назад +1

      glad to hear you are still working on your projects! I'd love to go with aluminum diamond plate but everything is so expensive right now. I know the ride originally had a wooden deck made out of individual wood planks. I may try something like that just for the vintage look.

    The fiber glass cars were most likely done in colorized gel coat with metal flake while in the molds. All of which is easily reapplied through a spray gun and is very durable with today’s UV protection additives. They should not be painted IMHO.

    • @PeteRondeau
      @PeteRondeau  10 месяцев назад

      We've been sanding one. its a clear coat, a metal flake paint, body filler, white gel coat, then fiberglass.
