Well, I finally got my second wind and got back to customizing Hot Wheels again.
Took my Greyhound MC-8 Bus apart a while back and it's just as I suspected,
it really does have a metal interior. Metal body, metal interior, and a metal base. You could say this thing is Metal/Metal/Metal,
literally. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the reason they only had 3 of these. What I'd give to know the metal cost.
Been watching baremetalhw a lot lately and one of his videos mentioned using Lime-Away to remove oxidation from Hot Wheels.
So I did that with the body, interior and base and then went over it with steel wool and while it's not "perfect", it's looking MUCH better than it did before and it's much shinier too!
Unfortunately I neglected to get some "before" pics, but here is the result:
Going to paint this one and give it some new wheels later.
