what did you use to strip the plastic base? Ive used Purple Power cleaner with mild success. It seemed to soften the plastic.

Brake fluid . . . usually it only takes a day or so, this was big and I had painted it at some point, it took three days. You can use it to take paint off window pieces and other plastic parts without damaging them.

There's something about that truck that's really cool Lee. Straight from the packet, it just looked stupid but getting rid of that plasticky metal colour and those daft engines really helped. The cab is a fantastic shape, almost like it has swept back ears.😁 I'd love to see one converted to a flatbed, something "everyday" like a coal truck. There's a lot of possibilities with a casting like that, just not what HW did with it. Was the Paint it Pink "planet" a dog's ball in a former life? 😁 Your showcase photo was lovely and, like you said, it did trigger my sense of smell, as well as the more obvious senses. I had it as a warm day, with little wind, and the sound of a distant tractor in the field.👌 It looks like Paint it Pink is going to be a major event this year - a great achievement for a worthy cause. I wonder if anyone will beat Marty's result from last year? I hope so. 👍👌😁 Cheers for now, Dougie.

beautiful pic love the country. build turned out great. most truck/trailer sets and haulers are not to scale with the cars. nice choice can't go wrong with a 57 chev
I love these truck castings...hard to find them around here...love the fijished product which works awesome with the Chev! Almost done with my PIP build...😥

I'm thinking no. Hot Wheels wiki quotes Mattel, who describes it as a 30's flatbed. IH in that day didn't look at all like this. Ford on the other hand . . . www.flickr.com/photos/15695344@N00/3671551129

Still a great build, Mattel throws these curves due to lisencing. Might Rig? I have a purple one with a matching neat street on back

That looked like a pretty fun build. The 57 really compliments it. Love those colors. Awesome job. Wow that list of builders is pretty long. Gonna be alot of videos to watch. Can't wait to see what everyone has done. Thanks for sharing, take care and stay safe.
