Thanks for the video, Jim! My wife had stage 1 breast cancer about a decade ago, so we always contribute to the cause each year in some way, as well as try to donate something to St. Judes.
Thanks Loston! I'm certain those were trying times for you and your wife...hopefully one day this will be something that is easily and quickly cured. Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
Love that you drilled an RLC. Beat me to it too. Great build for a great cause. Thanks for keeping this going. Please let us know in advance of the next one and we'll push it on Diecast Breakdown.
As they say at Nike, "just do it" Chuck lol. Nothing is safe here at Silvaland. I've drilled a few RLCs now and I can honestly say that when you drill them, they don't scream any louder than a mainline 🤣🤣🤣 Oh, since we dissolved the Mice, the Four Horsemen have graciously taken over the annual event.
Thanks Morten! In person, that purple just seemed a little too dark for my taste...a little brighter would have been amazing...or maybe doing the fenders in purple instead of black would have helped...but nothing is safe around here lololol
Sorry to hear that a Kombi is giving you grief. I think the Rockster did a great job pinch-hitting for this important build. Awesome stuff as always, and if you didn’t explain how clean the casting’s finish was, I’d still be scratching my head over how incredible that finish was with rattle can paint. As always, thanks for the inspiration, and good on ya for this is and so much more. 👍🤟🏼🤓
Oh my gosh, the fidget popper you drill on 🤣🤣🤣 I love that you always participate in this build :) i still remember you doing the first one :) I love the pinkalicious name of the paint 🤣 Its a great color, it looks good on that casting! Nice job 👏🏻
Thanks so much daughter! Ahhhhh...the fidget popper...it just happened to be nearby (because I'm using it for a different purpose to appear in a coming Tips video) so I grabbed it lol. Hey, what can I say, I don't have any fancy stuff around here...just a bunch of cheap and/or silly crap that somehow comes together to make a build lol
Looks bad ass as it should be! Nice work even if simple. Sometimes the most simple builds are the best ones. Always think of you and Bobbi around this time. Hope you are doing well brother.
Thanks Jamie! I'm in a "simple build" mood recently after following some tough ones. I'm doing ok...been focusing on some UA-cam things recently (the accountant in me came out after watching some videos and I created a spreadsheet to track some things I'm doing...as if YT analytics weren't good enough lol) so that's keeping my mind occupied. Hope you and the family are loving your new "digs".
It's a beauty, love the color pink. Mine didn't come out as pink. First use of airbrush didn't go well. I will practice but right now prefer rattle cans! I know these builds are dedicated to breast cancer but 1. Want to put the BRAKES on All cancers. And 2. Remind the gentlemen that they too can develop breast cancer. Hoping for a cure ASAP!
Thanks so much GW! I can't really comment on airbrush use since, well, I just rattle can lol. In fact, that's why the original Kombi intended for this build went kaput for the pink build (but will be appearing soon).
Keep it pink Jim, looks great and it's for an even better cause! I'd hate to see it become a gas land rig, plenty of other castings that can be used for that 👍 Heck, I'd buy it from you now and you could donate the payment to mskcc or the children's hospital
Thanks Jim...and thanks also for your kind offer. Now that I've had a little time to reflect on the build, it's going to stay the way it is...and in my collection. It's damn pretty if I say so myself lol. I also hate to Gaslands it...but there is a similar, just not quite as fancy casting, that may make its way to the post apoc world lol
Sorry for the Kool Kombi troubles, Jim, but this Rockstar came out so nicely. That Pinkalicious has served you well! Thanks for keeping your participation streak going for this important cause. Cancer can be beaten! 🍁🩷
Thank God for that clearance Pinkalicious!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks again for you and your mates over at 4H for hosting it! The Kool Kombi will make its appearance soon (well, as soon as I edit and do the voiceover lol) Thanks Andrew!
My favorite build of yours to date. The paint is flawless. Thank you for supporting Breast Cancer Awareness month.
Thanks so much!

Superb paint job, unbelievable finish of the VW. 😊😊😊
Thanks Fernando!

This is an amazing build for a great cause. Looks fabulous!!!
Thanks Mr. Leo!
looks absolutely spectacular in that color. great job jim
Thanks Neil!
That is so sweet! I never realized how intense the build is on that casting. Cancer f-in sucks!
Thanks! Until I started taking it apart, I had NO idea how intricate the parts are and how they fit - Hot Wheels did a fantastic job on this casting!
no worries, this one looks great, love the mirror shine and the deep pink on it. :)
Thanks Lothar!
Nothing to be sorry about, great update to a great casting. Thank you for kicking of my PiP weekend!
Thanks Brian!
That looks fantastic…love that paint. It’s tough to find a good pink spectraflame. Beautiful build for a great cause. Thank you for sharing, Jim!
Thanks so much Jimmy! That Pinkolicious paint has worked so wonderfully - who would have guessed lol
I need to see if I can locate some to try! Thanks again. @@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms

Thanks Ardy!
An awesome build for an amazing cause, such a nicely detail casting too.
Thanks John!
That purple collour is so beautiful.💜 love purple. Sad to strip it,but it is for a good cause,so you are forgiven. Turned out very nice in pink🩷
Thanks Morten! In person, that purple just seemed a little too dark for my taste...a little brighter would have been amazing...or maybe doing the fenders in purple instead of black would have helped...but nothing is safe around here lololol

Thanks so much Tom! That darn Kombi will be making its less than pink appearance shortly lol.
Nice build, details and paint job 👌 👍
Thanks Joe!
Oh my gosh, the fidget popper you drill on 🤣🤣🤣
I love that you always participate in this build :) i still remember you doing the first one :)
I love the pinkalicious name of the paint 🤣
Its a great color, it looks good on that casting!
Nice job 👏🏻

Dang Jim, that paint is sweet! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Ron! It's easy to get good paint when you're working from an awesome base that the RLC casting had...it's like cheating lol
Dude, that's stunning ... awesome work
Thanks so much Dan!
Excellent job Jim!! I think it looks better that color.........As for the polish, I think the RLC cars are actually chromed.
Thanks Pete! That would explain it Pete - if they're actually chromed - because DAMN it was nice, clean and shiny!
Keep it pink Jim, looks great and it's for an even better cause! I'd hate to see it become a gas land rig, plenty of other castings that can be used for that 👍 Heck, I'd buy it from you now and you could donate the payment to mskcc or the children's hospital
