    Great video Jeff. Timely also, as I just ordered a Corvette Grand National push car for slot conversation! So glad you fared okay from the storm, had devastating flooding all around my area, but no damage personally. Stay slotted !

    That mustang looks sharp! I just finally found a diecast truck body I'll be using with the trailer kit you sent me Jeff- can't wait to get started on it! Basically mounting the same way I've done for decades, just some tubing and epoxy.

    Happy to hear you survived the storm. Have you ever made a mold of the completed push car to create resin bodies? What brand of silicone mold do you recommend?

    • @JeffRyan
      @JeffRyan  6 дней назад

      Hey Mike, great question, yes I have. I made a mold of the 007 James Bond car that went under water, came out really well, and I've done many others too.
      Here's a link to the Alumilite products that I use:
      www.alumilite.com/
      They have the rubber molding compounds as well as the plastic casting products and much more!
      Hope this helps Mike, let me know how you do.

    • @JeffRyan
