Hot Wheels Custom 2016 Camaro - Drag Car

 I have mentioned in the past that there is a local group of collectors and enthusiasts of HotWheels who get together on a semi-regular basis. And on some of those occasions we attempt a "custom car buildoff".

One of those meetings a while ago, the selected theme was Camaros... or was it Drag Racing... I forget... it's been a while.

But I still have my entry... It was a "Grumpy's Toy, 2016 Camaro".

I painted it white, molded a huge cowl for the hood, and printed up some custom decals for the doors and contingency sponsors.

I also built a low-profile rear wing out of some flat pieces of styrene sheet that I had laying around.

It must have been a drag car to start with, now that I am looking at it again. The chassis has molded in wheelie bars... but I did a little cutting to fit the massive rear tires in there!

I used some spare wheels and tires laying around for the big drag tires out back, and the skinny little tires up front.

In the end, it came out pretty clean, and definitely looks mean and ready to race!

Hot Wheels Customs - Dubai Police Cars

Dubai has long been known for it's fleet of super-cars.

Quite a while back, I had visited the idea a Ferrari 599x, and got so far in to it, I even made a custom card for it. (see my older posts).

Well, one day I decided to revisit the idea, and added two new cars to the fleet of high performance pursuit vehicles.

The first being a Lamborgini LM02... the original hyper SUV.  Not many were made, but with it's V-12 Lamborghini engine, it was comfortable at 120+mph across the desert sands.

And the second new edition to the fleet is a new Ford GT.

Another amazing vehicle capable of 150+ mph speeds.

Both cars are painted basic while, and have my custom printed (by me) decals.

Some of the smaller details like headlights, light bar, and vent openings are all painted by hand.
