RestoModGuy Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 (edited) The past 2 years I've been working on all the original 1968 Sweet 16 Redline Hot Wheels cars. I have acquired all the 1/25 kits to build all of them into Hot Wheels. So far I've built 6 of the 16. This is the Custom Corvette, started with Revell 1969 427 kit, a nice detailed kit actually. Shot Duplicolor Metalcast Orange over silver base, complete with "chrome" chassis and engine compartment, and off-white interior. Wheels are Pegasus "T's" big and littles. Used a red and black Sharpie to create the Redline look. I've included a pic of each of the other tribute builds.

StockBoresMe Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 Super cool build and theme. I can't wait to see the beach bomb. Are you going with THE original hot wheels beach bomb with the surfboard sidepockets?
Casey429 Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 As an avid HW collector, I have to say those are awesome!
iBorg Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 I love the concept. Execution is dead on. Very nice.
Jon Cole Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 Awesome, Jim!I can barely remember this morning, but those sure triggered some long lost memories!
FredRPG Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 Love 'em. You captured the spirit of the originals perfectly..
Balaclava Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 Freak'in Awesome! You even got the Custom T-Bird in dark green with the black top!I want to buy each and every one of them!Personally, I got stuck on my first one (in trying to do this).; the Python (AMT Tiger Shark), that is, the roof has that unevenness about it and needs tons of sanding.Thanks for all the ideas and inspiration.
larman Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 Great work! Super cool idea, they are all well executed!
peekay Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 Not that I ever really "got" the Hot Wheels thing, but your models look fantastic.
