[michelle]

this is wylde's first car  from hot wheels accelracers 
here are the movie cars Specifications
a furnace on the passenger side 
455 HP ,Mid-engine V10, 6-speed transmission
Aluminum Monocoque Chassis
18" Front Wheels,20" Back Wheels
Carbon Fiber Push Rod Suspension
Grappling Hook,Lava Plow
Top speed: 265 mph

i made this from a polar lights 2006  ford gt kit 
some random items like a highlighter cap ,legos, the bendy section of a straw ,a coulple toothpicks  and toy package clear plastic 
the wheels and tires came from the revell alternomad caprice 
and custom side pipes from  my  parts box

A bit dodgy looking but I'd have a go in it if it were a 1:1!

Dashboard looks good.

Didn’t spot the lava plow, but wouldn’t the molten lava have an adverse on the tires (unless the heat makes them sticky for more traction)?? Very imaginative build!

thank you 
the lava plow and grappling hook  retract  and deploy  into and out of   the  car   with a push oh  a couple  butons  
they have special tires that  are not like normal ones there is a  selector  toggle that  can change the types of treads it has   they are impervious to anything that would damage or destroy  a normal tire the ones on the metal maniacs cars  are a   translucent black colored   material   while the  teku cars have a  translucent  blue colored

Michelle, I commend you on this and other recent “modeling  outside of the box” postings. You are doing some really creative scratch building and kit bashing, a nice break from the rivet counting obsession some scale modelers pursue (and most of us fail at!). I knew nothing about “Hot Wheel Accelracers” but your funny description about the special tires made me laugh and led to a Google search. Thanks for sharing!

I did a search on the Spine Buster car just to see what your inspiration was and I have to say that you made a great choice for your starting point.

I can see that you put a lot of work into the mods and you quite effectively captured the feel of your inspiration.

Well, done!
