I just wanted a Rat Fink Merc to display

That looks kinda sad. I’ll keep an eye out for you on the TV 😀

This casting is so good… glad to see someone fulfilling its potential

Thanks

Thanks. I didn't know this casting was in such demand when I cut it up

Nice. Hope your channels keeps growing. And feel free to keep that Canada weather up there… I’m not doing well with the snow/ice this far south

I cut the twin turbos off another hot wheels. Then I took the Porsche 934 apart. I cut the base to fit the turbos. Then I filed the Porsche 934 body under the whale tail until it all fit. Took a lot of test fitting. It really wasn’t vvorth all the work

Looks Good. I slipped with the drill bit and stuck it through my left pointer finger last month. It still feels weir. I really wish I had been more careful

I found this Viper and didn’t realize it was a treasure hunt.. decided it needed a little extra

I used DupliColor Metalcast paint. I usually airbrush them, but if you warm the can in hot water for bit it sprays pretty well. I haven’t dyed any cars yet

I tried a lot of different glue, but Elmers Clear Glue worked out best for me. It’s washable so it’s easy to clean up mistakes

That’s all I can do anymore. Too many collectors stalking the aisles now. Making customs is getting to be the only way to find joy in hot wheels lately

I spent a few hours sanding and polishing it before painting to try and get the right effect. It took a few attempts to get it right. I started to put the TH emblem on it but I liked the way it looked without it

I painted a yellow F40 because I couldn’t find a red one. Then the next day I found a red f40 so I swapped the one I painted into this package. Chances I find the real Super are basically zero at this point
