Great restomod on yet another new casting for me. Never seen the Flame Out before, but it sure fits the World Service Day theme. I think the wheels made the biggest difference on this one. Fantastic work, Jim. You can be very proud of this project! Thanks for participating in another FH build. You old Blind Mice guys are everywhere! 🍁☕😀

Thanks so much Andrew! I almost went with replacement JL type wheels...but it just needed something more, so I went with these and liked the look -- I'm really happy to hear you think they made the biggest difference on it. Hope you and Petra have a great weekend! (P.S. - I'm hoping to make the Canada Day build...but I keep hitting little obstacles -- it's crazy saying this so far in advance, but I might be late to the show lol)

Thanks Mike! The casting was in real need of a wheel swap - the standard selection just didn't flatter the look at all. (Oh, thanks again for that darn soap car - that video has finally slowed down on the views a little lol)

I noticed we mixed diecast company parts, and I enjoy the enhancements! Thank you for showing us the exhaust repair technique. I couldn't see the cracks on my screen, and I'm glad you noticed and taught us when to find them and when to handle them (before paint and assembly rather than after) I never noticed the bell in the front before, and I think going gold or brass makes that detail a highlight. A ringing goat is always a highlight! Have fun with your toys!

Thanks David! That bell on the front just seems to disappear into the stock casting...and as it doesn't have a lot of detail in the first place, I just had to bring it out.

Thanks Keith! You really should get into those JL's - the old Topper ones especially are just odd little castings. I have a bunch of crapped out ones still to tackle when I get a chance...and some are definitely getting the Wastelands treatment lol
