RockinHrse_98 Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Ok, so it's not really a real car, but I didn't know where to post it, and yes I am a man who still collects toy cars, so don't give me too much crap for it lol. Well the story behind it, me and most of my buddies have model cars or something of our cars that we take to shows. My little car club, Meanstreet Mustangs, are like brothers, we look out for each other. Well our buddy Jerry didn't have one of his car and could never find one, so I made one. Just thought it would be a cool birthday gift for a brother. Started as an old beat up Hotwheel car I got at a thrift store. Yes I know it didn't turn out perfect, but I thought it turned out pretty good considering I'm not an experienced painter, and I used a rattle can in an uncontrolled environment (on a pizza box on my back porch) haha.

joekd Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 I did the same thing with a die cast model, all I could find was a yellow one so I took it apart, sanded and painted it Laser Red to match my GT when I had it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a buddy who makes custom hotwheels and model cars for people. I don't know what he charges but I can put you in touch with him if you decide you want to do it. kinda cool... i'd like one of my car one of these days, but older Sn95's aren't easy to come by anymore. I wish I could find an SN95 one so I could make one of for my car but my buddy who's a Hotwheel collector said he thinks they only made convertible ones. im right there with ya collecting man.. lol this is about 1/10th of my collection, im still packaging up all the other ones at my old house so they can safely get transported to the new house Dude that's an awesome collection.
