New 1:64 Hotwheels, F430 Spider and 512M

Is that the Speed Machine Tesla Chad?

 

That it is. When I saw the first wheel swap I thought black wheels would look great but the only ones I'd seen were on the Viper and the rears were huge so thanks to Apex mentioning the Tesla I saw they were smaller. I think next I'll do gold wheels on the blue Scirocco GT24 for a friend of mine. PS, if anyone has one of the Earth Day Tesla's they'd be willing to trade or sell or something let me know, my Walmarts haven't gotten any new holdiay cars since St. Patty's Day. Thanks

 

Looks awesome! Nice work!

 

Helps having a shop full of tools, just a few seconds with the drill press to get the rivets drilled and mini saw to get rid of the axle claws. Thanks for the inspiration

 

In the next few weeks I'm going to up the ante... LP560 full repaint/re wheel coming. Just have to choose a color and get some time to do the work...

 

If someone had the time, patience and skill it'd be awesome to make a Balboni car. If I had the painting talent I'd do a Verde Ithicha car but I'm going to have to stick with just changing the wheels lol

 

I've actually been looking into the possibility of doing a Balboni. I would have someone make me the stripe in water-transfer decal and I'd hand paint some 10 spokes for the wheels. I'd like to have someone make me some headlight/tail light sets in decal, hand-painting them is tedious. So that might be something for down the road. I'm also looking at various wing options for a Superleggera. But for now just a color change with the wheel swap...

 

You guys are getting good at this wheel swaps. If only after swapping the wheels you can put the car back to its original box that will look even awesome and up its value.

 

I'd like to send a BIG thanks to laudaman (Chris)... I got a pair of the Larry's Garage 288's in the mail today. I tried to pay him, but he wouldn't hear it. THANKS CHRIS!

 

Around Dayton/Cincy, the Phils GTO & Speed Machine Reventons are the hardest to find. My stash from the past 2 weeks....

What is the car, third down on the left-hand row? '69 GTO perhaps? Garage series car?

 

Thats where I find Treasure Hunts. Found one a few months ago, and like 3 last year.

 

Auto parts stores, (Advanced, Auto-Zone, O'Rielly, etc) can also yield a surprise or two...

 

Yep

Thanks, figured it had to be the GTO or the Buick GSX...

 

Stopped off @ 2 Wal-Marts on my way home from work this evening. Found some Speed Machines.

Lamborghini Reventon - Green
Ford GT-LM - Teal
Porsche Caymon S - Black
Scirocco GT24 - Yellow

and 1 ERROR -
'09 Nissan GT-R SpecV - Rear Wheels are BLACK OPEN HOLE 5 SPOKE with RED outer ring. Front Wheel is BLACK CO-MOULD with GREY outer ring.

 

I know it's a stupid question, you found them but did you buy them? Two of each? What a lucky guy. Very happy for you! I know if that was me seeing those on the pegs I would kneel on the Wal-Marts floor and thank God! lol

 

Here's a pic of the new Garage Series GTO in black.

Any idea when? My number one dream car - a black 288! Sorry guys, I am buying every one made.

 

Sorry I'm not sure.. I have been trying to find out as well. My best guess is within the next 3-4 months.

 

I found them at the second store. Of course I bought 'em! I was shocked to find them. Will try to podt pics by the end of the weekend.

 

The local Food Lion held a treasure today... finally got me an ECTO-1!

 

Found the Speed Machines Scirocco and Cayman last night as well as another Citroen C4 Rally

 

McLaren F1 GTR Speed Machine
