Hot Wheels

The pro street one, is it the one that’s called work in progress?

 

if you split the axles and they are too short, then use some axles from any set of wheels that are wider so you’re not dealing with stubby little axles. I think m2 axles are slightly larger in diameter than hw, you might need to go a size up in tubing. You can also drill into the interior plastic if you really want to lower them but your measurements have to be really accurate. Mess around with a few that you don’t care about.

 

I have a couple work in progress Johnny lightnings but they aren’t prostreet. I’ll look for that title in Jada

 

This one is sick I like those wheels

 

The detail of this Nova is just so dam badass. The black is supposed to mimic a lift off front clip. The rear drag wheels are really accurate. The chalk on the windshield….love it!!

 

You’re right that is badass! Is that Johnny Lightning? I remember seeing one I thought was red with primer tubbed.

 

Miestro. They have like 3-4 models of this car. A blue one with a wired paint scheme on the sides. A candy red one and I think a yellow one. Than this one. This one is very rare though. I’ve only seen one other on eBay after I bought this one.

 

Found a few last night I’ve been looking for!

 

I drill mine with a #51 tap and tap it to 2-56 and use below screws. The screws are self tapping so you may be able to get away with tapping the hole first. I like to be safe and tap the hole first. To make axles if needed I use brass rod and just crimp the ends with pliers. links to everything below.

oh, that's awesome
thank you

 

I could never noticed this thanks and also got mine.

 

Awesome! No idea why they do this.

 

Not positive but there might be 2 other variants one each rhd and lhd each headlight style. There were with the red one.

 

To make $3 extra off us suckers

 

Reminds me of the hot wheels bug rod. They have one the rear deck lid opens and the other doesn’t. Same car same color, but when you see them in the package the are both down so you have to look at it real good to see which one it is.

 

That will be a cool project.

 

I hope so. I think I can make it work once I find the right model 1/64 nova and the right wheels.

 

I played a little this morning. The cold front is coming in here in Florida so I can't go out in the frigid 55 degree weather
I have two of each of these Chevies. Swapped wheels to make the '67 a 4WD, and the S10 some weird street rod that doesn't really fit the Surf Rescue theme, but doesn't matter; it was more about changing the '67. I may decide to remove the S10's tampos; will see. The '67 came out nice.

 

Went down to the not so good part of town this morning and now there twins

 

Ok we definitely need to work out a trade now
