Hot Wheels

Thank you @SJ_81 for finding the Lincoln and the Tow Truck!

Other than a few THs and a bunch of STHs it looks like I just need to find #244 69 Mustang to be done with this year.

 

Tonight’s haul, may have a few of em so my niece and nephew will be getting them

 

You’re welcome!

 

I'm not a fire truck/emergency vehicles guy but this one had to come home with me

 

These are a few of the cars I have sitting in out of the way places. Still nice though. Excuse the fuzzy that blew in while I was shooting that Silver Charger. I keep looking at that 54 Coronet and thinking Gasser Material but I like it the way it is as well.

 

The picture on the box under the car is what it looked like before it became a Gasser. This one was so easy to do. The front bumper came off when I unscrewed the chassis from the body and I then grafted a Hot Wheels 55 Chevy Gasser chassis in its place. The chrome headers were from a Muscle Machine I use for parts. Everything lined up with virtually not modifications. The Blue Instigator 55 210 Belair pictured below belonged to "Red Broslen" until last year when he sold it. Its now called the Hill Billy Hustler and nothing changed but the name. His car is why I like Chevy's as much as I do. Red still has a nasty pair of Maroon Gassers also called Instigator. One is a 40 Willy's and the other is a 37 Chevy.

 

Nice!

 

I gave in and got a TH baja off of ebay. Love the body but hate the rest of it so i changed the rest.

 

I should start customizing these cars. Or at least try. Love that yellow Baja

 

Thanks. The yellow one was my first repaint. Customs are fun to make how you want.

 

Have you found one yet? I’ve seen a couple errors of them already

 

It’s not that hard !

 

Turned the falken 07 mustang into an 08 bullitt

 

Right now it’s just time

 

I found these Hilux models on e-Bay. Very finely detailed. Several colors available, and you can even pick left-hand or right-hand drive!.
When I was in high school my dad had one exactly like this. Same bull bar and roll bar, and white wheels which was the in thing back then.
I ordered one which came in left-hand drive, and then saw that they have options, so I ordered a right-hand drive also for my brother who also collect cars, and he lives in New Zealand where they have right-hand drive. We also grew up in South Africa so my dad's was right-hand drive also.

 

I opened a bin I had and started to go through it...it was my "Mopar" bin when I only collected dodge and Plymouth cars mostly exclusively. I now grab everything that catches my eye. I have a lot of nice cars there...here are some pics. Also pictured is what I grabbed this weekend while out and about.

RANDOM OTHER THAN CARS FROM BIN....

 

Dang! There's so much cool in all of that!!

 

Huge thanks and shout out to @williams63 for hooking me up with this Tacoma. I’ve been wanting to recreate my own truck for the longest time, but my stores are always picked over and I’ve had no luck.

I’ll be ordering some overlanding add ons for it, and painting it as well. This will be my first customization. Do you guys have any tips for painting them?

Thanks in advance!

 

Talk me out of it…

 

you got bike parts to buy!
