I love the mustang! Half the fun is creating something a little different! Dump truck is sweet! Im waiting on frog tape then Iwill start on the buggy🤠. Blessings from Keller Texas. Stay safe
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?
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.
Hey Action, thank for the offer! I need you shipping address, you can email me at: smokintjets@gmail.com And if you have any of your past slot car projects, I'd love to see some pictures!
@@JeffRyan I'm slowly getting back into the customizing of slot cars,used to do it when I was a kid,and of course the materials are much better now! Will be a slow process over winter,but will keep you posted! Would love to put green headlights o on a Black Beauty! Does anybody do a repro of that body,and where to get green bulbs? Thanks again for a great channel!And book!
@@actionsteed Yes, Dash has made a Green Hornet slot car for the Aurora T-Jet chassis. I think the green lights would be an awesome feature!!

Jeff great to watch and listen how you do stuff. What was the brand of the Mustang push car. I know you said it but not sure what is was. Thanks Don ( hope to try a conversion once I get a cutter for my dremel)
Hey Don, both the Chevy truck and the Mustang were made by 'Kinsmart'. Here's a link to their website: www.kinsmart.com/kinsmart.php?show=all Let me know how you do!!
HI Jeff! hey another great project! So, I also have that Muster's Dragula, wanted to make a slot car, but, it's really skinny, what chassis did you use? Thanks.
Hey, the Dragula I first made was scratch built from a Tyco Harley Davidson bike slot car. I have also been able to fit an Aurora Slimline chassis up into the Johnny Lightning push car body. Let me do this: I will talk at length on how to convert the Dragula into a slot car in my next video. Sound good?!
@@JeffRyan Great, yeah thanks! I seen one on Ebay, but, it's looks a little, shall i say, Clunky! Cause i was thinking just a cheapy Auto World , there T-jet version...
Hey Willys, yes, the Dragula I first made was scratch built from a Tyco Harley Davidson bike slot car. I have also been able to fit a Slimline chassis up into the Johnny Lightning push car body. Let me do this: I will talk at length on how to convert the Dragula into a slot car in my next video. Sound good?!
@@JeffRyan that would be great, maybe a coach too! I dismantled a JL dragula and munsters coach when I saw your slotcars and never went back to it out of frustration. maybe that will help so I can finish my builds! thank you Jeff
Great Video Jeff! Glad you survived the storm !
Hey MEC, thank you so much for the kind words, we really appreciate it!

When are gonna do up your layout?
@@RobertSchildt-vt8yw thanks Robert, I am considering using some Magnorail systems before I start in on the landscape.

Mack Truck kit turned out great. Did you heat the tabs on the dump truck ever so slightly to get it to fit snug?
Hey, I thought about that! But I didn't think I could control the 'melt' well enough to make it work like I wanted.

@@im5150247 I hear you, again I will discuss how to make the Dragula with the Slimline and from the Tyco bike.
Have you ever tried any other chassis to make a Dragula? Slim lines seem to be expensive
