Hot Wheels

I got mine for $1 at our Safeway. The Tacomas ran out - the Raptors and Cybertrucks didn’t.

 

The 48-52 Chevrolet was an early attempt at customizing models back in the mid 1980s. It has held up surprisingly well all of these years.I french-ed the headlights, shaved the trim and door handles. Lowered it and put on wide whitewalls with T Bird hubcaps.
The 65 Mustang came with gold rims so I painted them silver.
The 67 Arcadian Gasser is actually a Chevy Nova. I want to say they were Chevy's with Pontiac trim. Canada did some neat things with USA cars marketed in Canada back in the 60s thru 80s. Ever see a Mercury pickup? They have them up there.

 

Apparently the Target Exclusive Red Editions are released 3 at a time.. a total of 12 per year.

Here's the latest 3

 

My neighbor down the street has a WRX I hear going by every morning. Those little boxer engines really sound good with the dual exhaust set up he has on his. It's hard to believe that car only has 1/2 a V8.

 

Auto world slot car. 1/64

 

Who doesn't love a Mystery?

 

Old Man Jenkins is getting squished.

It will be no mystery who did it.

 

Hahaha!

 

Wait…. Where do I know this name from?

 

I must be thinking of something else. Im familiar with scooby doo

 

Speaking of Scooby-Doo

 

That's fabulous!

 

I don’t have a good picture of it because I’m not at home but here’s one with Scooby-Doo. On the right second from the bottom

 

I like it.. but I'd take Velma any day! Haha

 

Decided to skip the Canfield swap meet in 2 weeks. Placed an order with Diecastmodelswholesale.com instead. Why pay $15 for each of those Silverado's at a vultures display when I got 2 for $16 thru Die cast. I forgot the vulture said he would work with me on the price. Both will receive wheel swaps. The red and white Bronco will also get a lift and mudders. The 72 K1 and the Datsun will only have some details added. The light green F100 will be 4 wheel drived with big wheels and Im thinking of going with a base truck theme. The black F100 has a tutone paint job coming. Black and white. The Datsun was on clearance and except for the Bronco everything was discounted. They also give you a 10% off coupon for your next purchase which usually covers the shipping. They have a huge display on their website. Check them out. Allow yourself an hour or two to look. Its that big.

 

This has probably been asked already, but Ill be honest. I'm too lazy to dig through 270 pages to find it but... Where do you source these clear display cases and how big are they?

 

New addition

 

I bought one at a time over the years when I first started collecting. Lucky to find them all the same size. 2’ x 2’ each holds 98 cars. Problem now is I can’t find this size anymore. There is a company in Ohio that makes really nice ones I believe they are called Carney Plastics. They have a few different sizes. I like the mirrored back and the closing front that keeps the dust off.

 

I change out the cars now then when I get new ones I like better.
