Thanks for sharing!

 

You're welcome!

 

@Kilo Charlie I was mistaken earlier. The poplar is 3/4" x 1 1/2" wide.

 

Thanks for the update!

 

Here's my second version. I don't have as much horizontal space so I had to go the other way.

 

OMG ! I just died and went to die-cast toy car parking lot heaven. Thank you Toyotacrawler for my dream build. Please deliver to 6*** P*****T**** Denton, Texas.....

 

I like what you did on the sides to grab the strips. I did not do that and perhaps I should have. Some of my strips bowed at the end a little bit. Had I cut grooves in the frame so I could slide the strips in this would not happen.

Lol it's really not that hard to build. Just time consuming cutting all the dados in the shelf strips. I made those before I had a radial arm saw. Used the good ole miter box and hand saw for the frame and borrowed a table saw from a friend.

 

I didn't pay attention that this was a Tacoma. Mine was in a 5 pack and I just skipped over that part I guess.

 

dude this thing is awesome

 

It's a Matchbox. Mine came in a 5 pack with other Rescue Vehicles. Obviously there's a Red version in a single that @Henrytmoc posted

 

love it

 

I don’t have the tools for this and definitely don’t have the skills to do it. I had to buy mine, but now that I need more I can’t find ones that match the ones I have. I have one spot in the garage that has 3 of them. I would love to just have one giant one there.

 

Next time I go in going to pick that up for you

 

There's actually 2 of them FYI.. the Taco one and a Chalupa one.

 

I unliked this so I can like it again!! this is what I need in place of the 3 I mentioned.

 

Finally saw a decent amount of Hot Wheels at my local Walmart but nothing good. First time shelves haven’t been empty in a bit

 

If any of you guys plan on building the display I've built I strongly suggest to figure out how many displays you will make and buy all of the material. I built two, then had the idea to cover the wall. When I went back the following weekend to buy the material for more displays, the paneling I used for my strips was a from a different mill. It was a different thickness by 1/64" and it bowed easily. It wasn't nearly as rigid as the previous 4'x8' sheet that I bought. I'd like to redo my strips on four of the displays at some point in the future. Just sharing my experience.

 

I have plenty of the Herbie love bugs but couldn’t pass on this chrome one. Johnny Lightning 1/64
