I had one of these as a kid. It always bothered me that the figure inside was obviously out of scale with the vehicle, and that he appeared to have no legs (as they would have extended below the vehicle if they had existed). Yes, I was that kind of kid. 😉

I still have mine, from when I was a boy. Just like you, I was always bothered by the weirdly disproportionate, legless figure, although the model was (and is) one of my favourites because of its uniqueness.

Seeing these videos brings a smile to my face. The idea of replacing the posts with cotter pin legs is outstanding!

Some people prefer things left alone, a resistance to change. If I were to own a Pat. Pending 1968 Hot Wheels worth, say, $6,000, I would be very hesitant to have it "rescued;" turned into a display piece of completely uncertain value. Make sense? There is merit to this wave of diecast rescuing, but certain pieces should not be "rescued!"

And I can attest to the resulting repair being as hard as steel. Even with good files and Dremel bits, it takes a bit of pressure and time to grind down! You can also use ground/powdered fiberglass powder (available at hobby shops and on line) that results in even tougher repairs. I've even used salt or ground pepper in a pinch! 👍

I tested it on a coffee cup handle that was broken in 4 places and it worked for 9 months of daily use! Of course it broke again and spilled coffee on the bedroom carpet, but man it was a pretty durable fix for the application. I’ve heard a story about someone plugging a hole in an engine block with baking soda and concrete cement.. hope I don’t need to try that anywhere.

When I was a kid in St Mary's NSW we had a food guy that can around called Charlie in his van it's part of my younger childhood I remember so well and is the reason for keeping an eye out for this particular van. I'll find one one day.

@IanRM 5 жыл бұрын

You can substitute baking soda for baking powder, if you increase the amount of acidic ingredients in the recipe to offset the baking soda. You'll also need much less baking soda as it is 3 times as powerful as baking powder. You'll need about a teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice for every 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda.

@brianartillery 5 жыл бұрын

Cyanoacrylate glue has an interesting reaction with cotton wool - it gets very hot, almost instantly, and starts smoking. Don't breathe these fumes in if you can help it - they're mostly cyanide compounds, smelling like bitter almonds. I found this out when I used a cotton bud to mop up some spilt Superglue. The cotton goes very hard almost immediately. The heat given off for a few seconds is surprising, but it's probably the same reaction that occurs when you glue a bad cut up with CA glue. Superglue will degrade if it gets wet, by the way. That's why it's a bad idea to repair your favourite coffee mug with it.
