    Thank you! Took a bit of editing. I used a program called Gimp along with Lightroom. Gimp comes in handy for merging two photo's together. It's a lot like Photoshop, but free! Tons of tools on there to edit things, like adding motion blur to the Mini as well as the dust trailing it.

    I got black ant's all over me taking that photo LOL

    Found this gem. Dated 1976. The only reason it's not banged up is because in my 20's my mother found it in a closet. She had hidden it when I was like 8 or so to go in my Christmas stocking and couldn't find it. It will definitely feature in a Hot Wheels Wednesday soon. Should have been today but I just found it last night.

    There's a Mazda Repu I was testing paint on for my Repu custom and a 1962 Pontiac Catalina powerplant for a Gasser I'm building.

    Nice. I've been trying to hunt down one of the Johnny Lightning FJ40s lately. I have a bunch of JL Cougars, and this cool Wagoneer.

    That’s what I thought. I have a couple of 69 and a 70 chevelles both hot wheels but I haven’t seen a 68. I don’t know the difference between the 68 and 69 but I’m sure you do.

    The main difference exterior wise are the rear tail lights.

    I know I have one somewhere but I’m pretty sure it was a Johnny lightning. I’ll send it to you when I come across it.

    A white one with a black stripe around the front hood, and a green one with a blower sticking out the hood.

    I have a 69 Hot Wheels that had custom real riders on it. Not sure if it was repainted or not but you can have that one too if you don’t mind a 69 chevelle.
