Shoutout to Ronnie @HUNK-N-JUNK on YT and his Facebook Group, where all the real custom builders exist and share their builds and techniques, as well as swap toys and parts. If you want to learn more about how to actually do this stuff, join the group, it's a great community and everyone is friendly.

That being said, this video is obviously a bit of a parody, hopefully that came across. This was not a real 1940's Dump Truck, it was a 50th Anniversary reproduction from the 1990s put in a replica box. They don't make a reproduction Wrecker and I've always wanted a rusty one for my shelf but never could afford it, so I simply made my own.
These are not the actual techniques used to artificially age metal, if anyone wants to learn how to do that, I'll happily make some narrated tutorials to share. They're great techniques to match missing parts to the original patina, or to improve a patina on a custom build through artificial weathering techniques, but too often do people abuse these practices to fake restorations and in the process destroy real toys for content. I chose to make this parody to raise awareness of that and make fun of the fake restorations that are rampant on KZitem, because a lot of channels out there are doing this and it sets unrealistic expectations for what a real restoration is, what can be saved, and what the actual process looks like. You can easily fake rust in a realistic way with paints and pigments, and you can quickly rust out metal with acids and salt. Or you can pour coffee grounds and cocoa powder on elmers glue. Yes, that's really how this was made. Those familiar with these processes though can easily see when rust is newly grown or faked, and I must say I see it a lot.
So to anyone reading this, I just want to thank you for being here and hopefully it wasn't too upsetting. The real upsetti spaghetti is happening every day, and this was meant to just poke fun of that trend. Faking content for views is often harmful to the environment and the community, and I'd much rather have fun with my toys and enjoy what I'm doing. That being said, I do also enjoy the rusty old patina look from time to time, so look for actual custom work from this channel in the future alongside my restorations. Weathering miniatures is an art of its own and it isn't going to eat into my time spent doing restorations. Those projects take a lot of time and money, and I can only do them so often. In the meantime though, I'd love to share tutorials on fabrication, patina, and paintwork if there's any interest in that. If anyone reading this is interested in that, consider subscribing and commenting to let me know. If you're already subscribed and only want restorations, don't worry, they aren't going anywhere.
On a more personal note, I'm planning on doing the Hot Rod Power Tour this year in my Camaro, and time is being spent prepping for that. I'll be releasing some videos in the future on a more personal channel that's dedicated to my travels. The account is bare right now, but I'll have content on there in the future if anyone wants to be a part of that. I'll post updates about prepping my car for the roadtrip and I plan to livestream the trip as well, so feel free to check that out on my personal channel:

After the Hot Rod Power Tour is finished though, I'll hopefully have found some nice toys in flea markets around the country and will be back with more content, so stay tuned!
