I owned a 76 Monte Carlo Landau edition. Absolutely loved that thing. Triple black car. All power everything. My dad and I built a 383 stroker with a turbo400 trans for her. She might've been a boat but by god she'd put you back in your seat! Loved this build. Brought back alot of great memories. Take care my friend.
@@Nero62CustomDiecast She was such a great car, but that black vinyl bench seat would fry your rear end off in the summer!!! I've always regretted letting it go but the price was right at the time. I'd love to pick up another when my daughters get older.
@@ae86hachi lol, oh I bet, those black Vinyl Seats would fry you, especially in the summer time. I'm in the same boat, I had a 62 Nova, my 1st car that my dad and I would wrench on together all the time. Sold it 10 years ago. Now I'm trying to find another one so I can work on it with my kids.
Awesome custom you brought it back to life and then some love the wheels.. big LIKE thanks for sharing.. keep up the great work bro.. see you and stay safe.. :) :D
Wow that looks amazing. Great choice with Bud tampos. I have a #12 bud 83 monte carlo ss of Neil Bonnett one of my favorite Nascar series. Beautiful work my friend. Thanks for sharing
I like all of this one. Great looking rebuild of a great looking casting. Couldn’t really see it on my small screen, but I’m guessing that little flappy thingy on the front of the interior is the hood scoop for the Torino Stocker.
Thank you!! Yeah I later found out that the interior was the same for the Torino stocker.. prior to editing the video I actually had a part where I talked about it, but unfortunately I had to leave it on the cutting room floor.
The Monte Carlo and the Torino stocker were/are basically the same car the difference was the Torino had a hood scoop with a hole in the hood. The two shared the same interior and base.
Yeah, I didn't know it at the time, but when I looked at one of the Torino's I had sitting around I figured it out. Thats actually a pretty good idea by Mattel to do it that way... I had a section in my video where I talked about it, but the video was getting a bit long so it ended up on the cutting room floor.
Excellent Build!!! Thanks for all the tips!! What kind of wheels did you say those were? Are the wheels more display or are they multi-purpose where they would be good for racing also? Y'all Stay Safe!!
Thank you!! They are more for display, but I have been experimenting with axel tubes and nickle plated bank pins. They spin really well, but the wheels are rubber and keeping them centered on the rims can be hard.
This one is already spoken for, but your right. I have another one of these laying around that I was thinking of painting up in a Dale Sr. Paint scheme.
Yes!!!! The Nascar man is back. Really missed your Nascar builds and this one turned out amazing. I used the same decals on a GTO Judge with the same matalcast red and it turned out amazing. Thanks for sharing another great video, take care and stay safe my friend.
Lol, thank you!! It's good to be back. Awesome!! I really like working with this paint. I think I did a GTO also with the same decals. I love them GTO's
I have a few cars from when I was a kid in the 70’s. Unfortunately the neighbors kids got their hands on them and they’re a little banged up. Do you restore or customize for other people? Mine has the hood scope in the hood.
Both. I paint the car and then clear it. I put the decals over the clear, which helps hide the lines of the decals, and gives the decals a little floating effect. And then clear it again after the decals are on.
Nero 62 Custom Diecast the second coat of clear doesn’t fudge up the paint? I swear every time I put clear over dry paint it wrinkles up and destroys the paint
@@thomasfilipiak3966 so what I have learned, especially with the dupli color metal cast paint. You need to put the clear on about 10 minutes after you put your final coat on. Otherwise you need to let it dry for several days before putting the clear on. I have had the same thing happen. Once the clear is on and dries I haven't had a problem putting more clear on.
I have in the past, but not anymore. It never really ends up working out right. Either the cliant stops communicating and I'm left with a car that has a lot of wasted time and effort in it. The money for the car or for the work I did to a car sent to me never shows up, or quite frankly I'm just not into the car or what the client want's done to a car. Making these cars is kind of my escape from reality, takes my mind off of work. Once I start putting a price on things it quickly starts feeling like a job. It also depends on the project. If it is something that sounds interesting and I think will keep me interested I might take it on. If there is a car that I have already made that you are interested in we might be able to work something out.
I've got a Steel Stamp Series Steel Passion and a '48 Tucker Torpedo (Hot Wheels) that would look great running on 3DBotmaker's track with your sponsorship . . .
Gorgeous build, decals fit the body perfectly. Love the Monte's.
Thank you

Nice work. good to know about the paint coats and clear coat.
Thank you!! Yeah, it took me a long time to figure it out.. several ruined paint jobs later I think I finally got it figured out.
Very classy result!
Well done!

Yeah, I really like the Dupli Color metalcast paint.. they make a few different colors, but some of them are getting hard to find.

Nice aftermarket wheels too!!
Thank you!! Those Monoblock wheels are really cool.
Wow! I love Monte Carlos from that period, and this is exactly why. Beautiful car! Great job!
Thank you!! Me too, the body lines on them are fantastic.. pretty mean looking cars.
I like the Casting.
Thanks

Thank you!! It was a fun build. I really like using those Dupli Color paints
Really cool! well done 👍
Thank you!!
So friggin cool seeing a blackwall stocker restored! Friggin killed it man, awesome job! Love these videos!
Thank you, I had a great time working on it.
Nice job bro. I just finished up three throw back race cars myself
Thank you!!! Awesome!!
Wow that looks amazing. Great choice with Bud tampos. I have a #12 bud 83 monte carlo ss of Neil Bonnett one of my favorite Nascar series. Beautiful work my friend. Thanks for sharing
Thank you!!
I got here through the 3Dbotmaker
Awesome!! I appreciate the support.
Just subscribed to your channel. Love the Monte, one of my fave castings. I have painted a few. Great work.
Thank you!! I appreciate the support.. I really like this casting. I'm looking forward to restoring the other one I have.
A GORGEOUS custom Monte Carlo!!.. Awesome Bill From Dawsonville would be proud to cruise around in this baby!!.. Keep up the great work Bud!!
Thank you, it was a fun build that came together nicely. Lol Bill was the man.. Loved watching him race.
Both of these are in decent shape with good bones..
Yeah, I was a little worried when I ordered them, but they were in pretty decent shape.
Love it! Bill was one of my favorites. Great to see another vintage Nascar build. Cheers!
Thank you!! Bill was one of my favorites as well.
Gorgeous the red with the 11 makes it pop
Thank you!! It's a great casting, and a fun one to work with.
Nice cars
Thank you!!
Hell yeah! Loved it!
Thank you!!
Looks awesome 👍
Very nice. Good job!
Thank you!!
Haha you’ve done it again! This was a beautiful custom! The difference from before and after is incredible.
Thank you!! I think the decals actually turned out better than I planned. Fun build.
I like all of this one. Great looking rebuild of a great looking casting. Couldn’t really see it on my small screen, but I’m guessing that little flappy thingy on the front of the interior is the hood scoop for the Torino Stocker.
Thank you!! Yup it is.
Try NON-fuming East Off oven cleaner in a big Ziploc bag for removing paint on plastic castings.
Interesting! Thankx Sean!
Hhhhmmmm, I'll have to try that out. Thanks for the info.
Very very very nice. Like it a lot. WOW😱
That model done up as Dale Earnhardt's #2 from his early career would have been sweet.
Funny you mention that... That is on the to do list.
Awesome work. Did you buy or print the decals?
Thank you. I don't have a printer that can print at a high enough quality for decals yet, so I got these off of ebay. The seller is rwneff1
This model reminds Me of the dirt track haha
DAMN!
Love the old stock cars.. Watch out for the cops cause you killed this one..lol.. Looks awesome..👍
Lol!!! Thank you!!
Stunning Monte Carlo Stocker! The reason for the scoop is that the base and interior was shared with the Torino Stocker. Excellent job on it 🍻
Thank you!! Yeah I later found out that the interior was the same for the Torino stocker.. prior to editing the video I actually had a part where I talked about it, but unfortunately I had to leave it on the cutting room floor.
I Do like your builds alot. This is another prime example 🤙🏼 the monoblocks are fitting to a T
I really love your works! Keep it coming! Subbed!
Thank you!! I appreciate the support.
You should do a quarantine and Corona car just for fun
Lol!! Thats a good idea.
Awesome! So much better!
Thank you!!
If this is the same one 3dbotmaker used in his stock car race it was amazing in that high quality footage and the lights made it shine
Nope, not this car. this one has never been over to 3D's track. It has been sitting in a case since I finished it.
@@Nero62CustomDiecast it looks so similar to the one in their stock car race ua-cam.com/video/XppzZ-8cdvI/v-deo.html
@@crystalclearchaos5387 lol, oooohhhh yeah. I made the one in that race, but that's a GTO. The paint and decals on that one are the same as this one.
Do u have a 1977 white monte carlo?
Do u sell tyem?
The Monte Carlo and the Torino stocker were/are basically the same car the difference was the Torino had a hood scoop with a hole in the hood. The two shared the same interior and base.

Monte Carlo is good dirt racing car
I think you just gave me an idea.
Interesting. It looks like they used the Torino Stocker interior complete with hood scoop on this non- hood scoop car?
Bel lavoro! Very well done
Thank you
Wow amazing also where do you get the decals

@@Nero62CustomDiecast Oh ok Cool!!! Thanks!
I had one of these in my childhood.. Unfortunately it is long gone...
Are you going to do something with the other one too?
Yeah, the plan is to restore it. I'm going to attempt to match the origional yellow paint and get some new decals for it.
This one for sale? Love to see Dale Sr colors on a old school monte carlo, like a 1970 monte!
This one is already spoken for, but your right. I have another one of these laying around that I was thinking of painting up in a Dale Sr. Paint scheme.
@@Nero62CustomDiecast next monte you do, like to buy it, fav yrs are 70-77.

I unfortinatly don't. I would like to, but I just don't have the time to do it.
Do you put clear coat before or after the decals?

Was wondering if you can paint a custom car for us?
What do you use to take paint off a plastic body?
Do you do contract work, Nero?
I'd love to be able to modify my own die cast cars, but I have nerve damage and the lack of fine motor skills in my hands makes it impossible.
I have in the past, but not anymore. It never really ends up working out right. Either the cliant stops communicating and I'm left with a car that has a lot of wasted time and effort in it. The money for the car or for the work I did to a car sent to me never shows up, or quite frankly I'm just not into the car or what the client want's done to a car.
Making these cars is kind of my escape from reality, takes my mind off of work. Once I start putting a price on things it quickly starts feeling like a job.
It also depends on the project. If it is something that sounds interesting and I think will keep me interested I might take it on.

Understood.
