Re: Structo dumptruck conversion
My sister got really into painting 'Tabletop Gaming Figures' (Dungeon/Dragons type stufff), so i had her do some painting on Mike
 I'd never liked the yellow letter sidewalls on the Traxxas wheels, and had mostly been thinking it should just go black walls. But really for the mid-60s steel toy look, i think Structo was onto something with hubcaps and gangster whites. Went with a kinda off-white since you know they aren't out there with whitewall bleach...  --- This vid shows a really slick tilt cab hinge & latch system i may need to copy https://youtu.be/Al2PWATMxoE -- A guy was watching somebody doing pressed-steel toy custom restoring. Shine-Juice for Patina cars. https://youtu.be/N9LRVWljjpA Flood Penetrol. (Lowes carries it in paint area) I'm usually not a ''Patina" guy, but i'm not fixing the paint on this "Mike Oxbig" rig or the ''Whole Lotta Rosie" truck i haven't started.
