I did a green '67 last week.

Re: Pic Thread: Customized Hot Wheels,etc
 

Nice job on both. I'd like to build a white GMC long Wideside 4wd like my full scale one. I have a crapped out old Ertl GMC Fenderside donor. Just need to work that grille or whole cab into a longbed 4wd conversion with realistic size tires.

Just playing with a silver marker. Tried to make a GMC front end on my 69 stepside.

Pretty cool!

Some more pics. :chevy:

Re: Pic Thread: Customized Hot Wheels,etc
 

I haven't bought any to customize lately. Didn't do any over the winter. I'd like to do a full batch of '67 or '68 colors like I did these three. I need to find ones with wheels I like or go deeper with wheel swaps. All the black and colors wheels just don't get it for me.

Here's one I did years ago. Could be in the "not an el camino" thead. What would a '56 Ranchero look like? Mid engine of coarse.

Re: Pic Thread: Customized Hot Wheels,etc
 

How about a Ute, no mid-engine? That's a cool creation. Maybe Hot Wheels would like to see it.

I have a GMC panel I tried to rob the grille from to swap in a '62 Chevy p/u. I jumped into it in a kind of rush, just thought I'd try cutting it away when I had time waiting for someone. I should have thought it through better. I took a multi-master tool with steel blade and tried to cut between grille and bumper, but blade was too thick and the bottom of the grille would be lost. Looks like I need another panel for another attempt. I'm going to try to just grind the bumper away, go at it that way. I think it will fit but will be a lot of tedious grinding/dremmel work. I have a "project '62" for this in grey primer

Picked this up last week. I don't need to customize this one .

Re: Pic Thread: Customized Hot Wheels,etc
 

Oh yeah, those are neat. Even Hot Wheels is in on this Cruck thing

Re: Pic Thread: Customized Hot Wheels,etc
 

Thanks Tim ,I just took the top off the back half of HWs already mid-engined ranch wagon , which I have plenty of. ;) ;) (some are sedan delivery's)

Re: Pic Thread: Customized Hot Wheels,etc
 

My Daughter wanted a truck for her Christmas Village and I didn't want to open any of my '52 Chevy trucks . So I built this '56 Ford instead.

Re: Pic Thread: Customized Hot Wheels,etc
 

It's getting to be that time of year. I try not to go too far with truck decorations at Christmas. It wouldn't be hard to have a ton. I have one of those HW Custom 69 electric contractor (green) versions with a loop in the top for a hook to hang on the tree. I should blow that apart and give it a Christmas paint job, like bright shiny red and make a snowflake decal for the hood and a tree in the bed.

Re: Pic Thread: Customized Hot Wheels,etc
 

I used a real piece of the tree in the front yard. Cleared it, but it is very brittle already. I've had to touch it up with some green paint as well. I would just use fake HO scale tree next time.
