Cool build. How do you keep everything steady enough to get the decals on the wheels?

It's like applying any decal, just take your time.

And sorry Afta, you'll have to get in line for this one should I decide to part with it, someone beat you to it.

It's a Hot Wheels... Nothing real, but looks like it was inspired by a late 60's & early 70's Mustang and Corvette custom mash up.

Ok, I see. I was wondering why I couldn't recognize it!

Beautiful work Mark! I have done the same with a Racing Champions Camaro but it's not as nice as yours!

I would like to see you restore an original Redline! You can buy reproduction wheels with fresh chrome spokes so the main thing would be cleaning up the chassis plate and applying a cool paint job.

Have you ever put them back into the blister packs?

Scared me too. Thought I was gonna have to turn in my man-card. Did'ja see the spare tire?

Almost kinda/sorta looks like a '70's Aussie muscle car.

That was what I thought. But I guess not.

Whew! I guess I can keep my man card for the time being, huh, Monty? B)

Thanks guys.

I have an original Torero on the bench that will be restored one of these days. A good friend was kind enough to provide a new set of wheels for it. I still need to decide on a color for it...

I have returned them to the blisters for friends, but for my personal collection I let roam the range freely.

Usually I just redo them as fun filler jobs between "real" model's lulls, like waiting for things to dry...

If you decide to paint that Redline the way they used to be, you can buy the Spectraflame paint they came in as well!

Cool car. I opened the thread expecting Scott Sullivan's pr/street '55 Chevy. Y'all remember that photo, right?
