Can you do a Rattler video. I'm starting to work on one now. Lol

Also watching you cut the canopy, you should look into getting a razor saw. The blades are fairly pricey at $15 for 5 blades but a damn fine tool for doing micro work. They are double sided, basically just a safety razor blade but serrated instead of straight. Theres also a handle to hold them if you don’t want to hold with your fingers, that’s only about $10 and a one time buy so may be worth it to you.

[@ourrulesrestoration8150]

Awesome, I love the input.

Looking good! The purist trolls will tell you that the parts will re-yellow and become brittle. They are wrong. I have some Mego Micronaut MEL parts from the 70's. Use to be white but yellowed over time. I use this same process. Turned them bright white and did NOT make them brittle. This was about 20 years ago. Still white and still NOT brittle.

[@ourrulesrestoration8150]

Totally agree with you. Either they are doing something wrong or just haters. Either way, that's why i called this channel our toys, our rules restoration.

@@ourrulesrestoration8150 Forgot to mention; Love your channel! Also I still have my Tomahawk with box. I had just got married in 1988. My Wife got it for me for Christmas that year. She has always been good to me.

Canopy glue is generally just overpriced PVA(Elmer’s/school glue). I buy it for canopies myself though 😂 tbh though it was more of a convenience buy then anything else.

Yeah wasnt bad at hobby lobby but even though i said i was going to use it, i went to my tried and true. Plastic weld
