    Super kick ass twist on the Big Banger! Looks amazing and has given me some great ideas for some future builds. Thanks for another killer build. You never disappoint and your channel is what got me wanting to start restomodding some of my diecasts I had thought about changing but wasn't sure how to do it better. It's been almost 40 years since I did any custom work to one. A very heartfelt thank you for getting me back into my first love.

    This was my favorite matchbox when was a kid, I can't resist to buy one when I see one! I even modelled it in3d to make a big one, did not print it yet! I didn't think it could have a video online about it, nice job and nice channel!😉

    It's like a 1:64 scale Muscle Machines. I like it!
    But seriously #Phrasing. Between "seeing how the stripper works", "there is our big blower", and my personal favorite, "if I try to stick this back in there, we're just to tight right now, so I'm gonna open it up a bit more", this episode of full of gems.

  • @kenj7153

A guy has started it back up and it's as good now as it was back then even George Trolley is one of the artist.as well as in some issues Nelson Dewy even orig artist Fred Boatman was too but sadly he passed away about 8 months ago.
      I have all the new issues their on #21. There is a website. www.cartoonsmag.com

    @ThatImmo 2 роки тому

    I had a Cosmic Blues variant of this car as a kid. Back then I had no idea why the engine is so big and thought it makes no sense, because nobody would see with such a thing sticking up front. Nobody in my family was a car person, so nobody explained this to me until it was too late (the toy went missing years before I finally understood).
    Awful shame I don't have it now, would be a PERFECT restoration for me to learn all the basics.
    Funnily enough, having this car as a kid also explains why I immediately knew 1968 Charger is the prettiest muscle car ever when I first saw one. And it remains my fav to this day.
