I have shared all but Aldo's car before but since the set is now complete with it, I decided to consolidate them into one video.

[@PhilGood56]

Nice job. One of my favorite movies. Your cars are awesome.

[@johnwwest8407]

All nice builds, but that weathered ColeTrickle car at the end is just awesome.

[@leofroop]

These look awesome! I'm about to have my first attempt at the mello yello car shortly 😬🤞 Love the Aldo Benedetti car 😍

[@davidchin350]

Awesome builds, my top 2 are the Mello Yello and City Chevrolet cars.

[@frizzosmodels]

wow these are awesome, Im starting to build these cars, You did a amazing job with these.I hope i could get mine to look half as good as these

[@Jem7sk]

Awesome job on those. They all look great. What paint/clear do you use on the bodies?

[@BDR_Photo]

Thanks! Various paints depending on the color I needed:
Exxon 51: Tamiya TS-14 black. No clear.
City 46: Krylon fluorescent yellow and green, and automotive 2K clear.
Superflo 46: Krylon fluorescent cerise, a white base coat that I never got code for, 2K clear.
Hardee's 18: Rustoleum flourscent orange, 2K clear. The orange is a bit too deep but close as I could get at time. Have since learned the real car was painted with House of Kolor Neon Honey but I think that paint is discontinued.
Both Mellow Yellow 51 cars: Krylon fluorescent green, GM WA8555 black base coat, 2K clear.
Goody's 34: Createx Pearl Magenta, GM WA8555 black, 2K clear.
Only the weathered Mellow Yellow and Goody's cars have clear over decals.
