Hot Wheels

I've been trying to find that Mazda twin pack. Lucky find!

 

Just pm with any specific trades you might be interested in for it. I’m looking for this and the oem variant. Thanks

 

Grabbed this one the other day:

 

And not the roll patrol?

 

nope.. just this one

 

New trade pile addition.

 

Target 77584

 

That jag!

 

It is a Charger. Going to repost everything here shortly.

 

So this is a redux. I laid out everything this time. So some of these are dupes from my original post, but now the entire collection is laid out.

Here is everything from the Hot Wheels brand

 

Now everything else not from the Hot Wheels brand...

 

Sorry, forgot a couple...

 

I dig all those Vans too

 

LOL! Thanks! I have four of those color changers. Two with the book and two without it. I didn't post all four to reduce dupes. I intended to pull two out of the package and put them through water, but I never did it.

And I did own a 1977 Dodge Tradesman at one time so I am partial to those.

 

Little Red Wagon with wheel swap. I have seen this truck in the Don Garlits Drag Racing museum in Ocala Florida. If you go to Disney World this place is defiantly worth a side trip to see. 2 buildings with several hundred old race cars. We even met Don there himself which made it even more remember-able. The 58 Vette had a wheel swap and details. The Silverado just received wheels.

 

Ill call this group of pictures the trucks from hell. Both of these were ruined trying to use dry erasers to remove those damn decals. M2s base color of black on the first one held up fine removing the decal off the hood but the dry eraser dissolved the white paint with the decal and ruined the finish on the truck. Trying to dismantle the trim so it could be repainted was the next disaster and this truck now just sits in the parts box.
The second truck fared somewhat better and maybe will be saved. The logo on the hood left its shadow in the paint and the Pan Am did come off the doors but the paint on the tailgate dissolved removing the logo from it using a dry eraser. The wheel swap was also a failure and the truck looks like a low rider until it can be corrected. I wont buy anymore M2s with decals if modifications are needed.

Been thinking about customizing one of these

 

There’s a guy in town that has that gmc in blue in mint condition. I’ll snap a pic next time I see it

 

Sorry to hear about the misfortune with the decal removal. I have had similar struggles.
Someone told me about the dry erasers. I tried it one one truck and it worked like magic. Then I tried it on another and I rubbed and rubbed until I rubbed through the paint around it and the decal was still there. On another one someone mentioned Goof Off, and again it was the easiest decal removal ever. It just wiped off like it's nothing. Then on the next one the Goof Off dissolved the whole truck's paint like the best paint stripper would not be able to do.
It is totally hit or miss between brands and ages of the vehicles.

 

I forgot to warn about Hot Wheels 83 Trans Am. The white paint on them dissolves with the dry eraser as well. My brother has a 83 TA in white so tried to remove the blue decals and destroyed the paint. I stripped it down and repainted it and added details. He was happy when he got it. I sent him 6 I found.
