Hot Wheels

I like to do customs and make the model as close to accurate as possible, so I stripped this Hot Wheels Tacoma to bare metal, filled the sun roof using JB Weld, and then primed and painted with color matching "Blue Crush Metallic" spray paint that I ordered online. The model looks more purple than my truck, but some days my truck looks more purple than blue...

I lost some of the ridges in the roof when I was sanding the JB weld, but I plan to add the Prinsu roof rack and I have a 3D printed roof rack to match once I install the real one.

I also added real rubber "off-road" tires.

 

And painted the bed black to match mine

 

Really cool. I’d like to do the same one day

 

A cabin in the woods and a good dog would be just fine too

 

Where did you get the lights? Looks great!

 

Found that spoon civic finally. One is for the work homie. He was about to pay $24 after shipping for one of these, saved him some $.

 

That cop car is a TH if you weren't aware

 

Oh sweet! Did not know that. Thanks. The flame is in the badge.

 

Slide the car up and you'll see it on the card too.

Definitely on my radar for my Fire Rescue collection

 

Nice collection!

 

There is a seller on eBay that sells the Tacoma graphics as decals - for the Hot Wheels Tacoma. Certainly makes mod'ing it much easier!

You’ll find it

 

These caught my eye while waiting for a prescription. I may have bought the maverick before, so one of them may be getting opened; maybe

I focus on the stuff I would drive, trucks, older hot rods, retro mods, Toyota, regardless of collectibility.

Getting a small shop setup, hoping to get a display built for the whole collection soon, probably 40 total at this point, so just when it catches my eye, I feel like it kind of thing.

 

Build your case for 100... it'll fill up fast!

 

Messed around with that tooned Porsche
