Here is 1 more tip for Tonight's Videos on the 1934 Ford Pickup Truck 3in1 Custom Builds. This is for the Custom Truck Version. Thomas added a Custom Handmade Support Bar/Beam to the bottom back of the Tow Boom to give it more support & strength. This also adds Realism because Thomas also Owned & Worked with His own Tow Trucks & Flatbeds & He remembers the extra Support Beam/Bar that MANY Tow Booms had added on, just like both of His Tow Trucks. Also, many times the Tow Boom will not sit Flat so once the Tow Boom is Built, place it flat on a 60 or even a bit Finer Grit Sandpaper to make it even & sit perfectly flat. If it happens to be Flat, then you got lucky with the Parts from the Kit, lol, & there's no need to Sand the bottom to make sure it sits evenly/flat. HOPE YOU ALL ARE ENJOYING THESE VIDEOS, MY FRIENDS! #thomastramontanocustomdesigns #Modelcars #CarModel #carmodelling #CarModels #modelcarshow #ford #modelcarsmagazine #hotrod #amtmodelkit #amt #Customizing #custom #igcars #customart #modelcarculture #scaleauto #igmodelcars #igmodelcar #igscaleauto #igart #modelcarbuilding #modelcarkit #plasticmodelcar #plasticart #modelcarkits #carart #carartist #artwork #Cars (at Nassau County, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CElPP0MB2Wg/?igshid=1ckvsyikxcuhf

*FUN&COOL* In this Step, Thomas shows how to turn Tires with Treads into Slicks - how to remove the Treads from the Tire! Start off by Sanding the Tire down flat on a 36 Grit Piece of Sandpaper to remove the Treads & then to refine & smooth the Tire, move to a Finer Grit like a 60 Grit Piece of Sandpaper to complete the process of turning Tires with Treads into Slicks!! FUN! #thomastramontanocustomdesigns #Modelcars #CarModel #carmodelling #CarModels #modelcarshow #ford #modelcarsmagazine #hotrod #amtmodelkit #amt #Customizing #custom #igcars #customart #modelcarculture #scaleauto #igmodelcars #igmodelcar #igscaleauto #igart #modelcarbuilding #modelcarkit #plasticmodelcar #plasticart #modelcarkits #carart #carartist #artwork #Cars (at Nassau County, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CElNIc3hdkn/?igshid=15mofehik2f74

In this step of the 1934 Ford Pickup Truck Custom Drag Truck Version, Thomas trims the Brace to the Drag Racing Standards & then mounts & glues it in place after a Test fit. Then, Thomas trims the Brass Rod Axle to the Precise Length so the Tires/Wheels fit Perfectly & the Tires are not too far or close to the brake drums. #thomastramontanocustomdesigns #Modelcars #CarModel #carmodelling #CarModels #modelcarshow #ford #modelcarsmagazine #hotrod #amtmodelkit #amt #Customizing #custom #igcars #customart #modelcarculture #scaleauto #igmodelcars #igmodelcar #igscaleauto #igart #modelcarbuilding #modelcarkit #plasticmodelcar #plasticart #modelcarkits #carart #carartist #artwork #Cars (at Nassau County, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CElJBrzhNKp/?igshid=1u9f6erv2vfbc

Here Thomas shows how to Properly check that Your Axle fits and is the right length and is ready to be mounted to Chassis. Thomas recommends using Sprue Glue. You can refer back to Earlier Videos from Each Build to Learn how to make your Own Sprue Glue out of just leftover Sprue Plastic & Liquid Cement! It's basically Liquid Plasti that dries as hard plastic. #thomastramontanocustomdesigns #Modelcars #CarModel #carmodelling #CarModels #modelcarshow #ford #modelcarsmagazine #hotrod #amtmodelkit #amt #Customizing #custom #igcars #customart #modelcarculture #scaleauto #igmodelcars #igmodelcar #igscaleauto #igart #modelcarbuilding #modelcarkit #plasticmodelcar #plasticart #modelcarkits #carart #carartist #artwork #Cars (at Nassau County, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CElGO7QhvoG/?igshid=1cmzc3l1d0lbi

In this Video, Thomas shows you a Tip for dealing with an Axle that can only be Inserted a very small amount. He also gives you a tip for tightening up the hole in the Wheel for when your Axle feels like it is loose when connected/inserted into the wheel. #thomastramontanocustomdesigns #Modelcars #CarModel #carmodelling #CarModels #modelcarshow #ford #modelcarsmagazine #hotrod #amtmodelkit #amt #Customizing #custom #igcars #customart #modelcarculture #scaleauto #igmodelcars #igmodelcar #igscaleauto #igart #modelcarbuilding #modelcarkit #plasticmodelcar #plasticart #modelcarkits #carart #carartist #artwork #Cars (at Nassau County, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CElEALkBk57/?igshid=f3qbs09az3e2

Here Thomas explains more of what has been done to each of the 1934 Ford Pickup Truck 3in1 Kits Custom Builds. From the Stake Bed to the Tow Truck (which He added an Extra Brace along the Bottom of the Tow Boom for Extra Strength & Realism. Thomas owned His Own Tow Truck & Flatbed for years) to the Custom Drag Truck!
