Hot Wheels

This is the 65 Comet Gasser badventures sent to me last week. I replaced the rear black rims and tires with chrome versions mounted on drag slicks. Also added some of the missing details. Cars in back ground are more works in progress. Also included a picture of my parts bins for 1/64 scale cars.

 

These are 3 1/24 scale projects in the works. All 3 will be Gassers. Rear wheel wells have been radiused. I make my own front straight axles. The 57 Nomad will be patina-ed with the grey paint extended to the bottom of the windows. The paint will be scuffed, primered and rusted. The 57 Belair has the front bumper removed. The Opel GT also has a chrome straight axle and had extensive cutting to make the 426 Hemi fit where a V6 was set to fit. Also had to cut the back half to get slicks to fit. Made a new rear shelf panel for the interior and added fender well headers. The injector stacks are metal and still need positioned better. The hood is a memory.

 

I would if i found another one lol. This one, i’ll keep right like this lol.

I love it because the one my dad and brother had was red, a 1998 GMC Sierra 5.7 4x4 auto, single cab 6ft bed

Christmas present from my wife

 

Working on a wheel swap. Which one?

 

I like the first one

 

First one but paint them white

 

Grabbed a small handful of short cards today. And no, the 510 isn’t a super

 

Congratulations on the Treasure Hunt!

 

Wasn't that a TH?

 

Thanks. Had it been a regular sized card, I would have passed on it, but grabbed the shortie cuz I have’nt seen many in my area.

 

Found some nice gems from three different stores.


The Prado and Saga were the real highlights. Though I will be on the look out for the 4Runner.

 

no that one is the mainline

 

On Saturday I did some quick shopping with the wife. When to Kroger and Dollar tree. At Kroger I found one of the coupe clips (blue and red). I find these and buy them. I think they are really cool. When I went to Dollar tree, I found the 70 dodge power wagon, 82 supra, another coupe clip and another car I forget though. What I do remember, they had a couple of the TH 95 Cherokee's. I forgot they are TH and left them. I went back yesterday and they were still there. I got them this time. I also remember a couple Land cruisers but was not sure if it was the 80 or the TH FJ45. They were the 80 so I left those as I already have them.

 

great that Bronco R is now on my radar for things to find!

 

Found the Silver and Blue Supra

 

Black M5

 

Yes, I bought this just for the Taco Truck
