SpaceCowboy Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 I see some of you are into hot wheels/die cast. I bought a few ERTL General Lee's off of ebay and fixed them up. Pretty happy with the results. General Grant could be a bit better. Cutting the water slide decals was a pain. Looks better not so blown up as the picture. I have an idea of doing another one that I think will look a little better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one full blown project car left in me. I'm not sure what I want to do. The current choices are: -77' Bandit Trans Am restomod with a big inch LS with a blower, 6 speed manual, big brakes, big suspension, etc. All the amenaties, etc. I'd probably use a 77' AT nad a recent Camaro (wrecked) as the donor. -67' Ford F-100 made into an extenda cab on a custom tube chassis sporting a 800rwhp GT500 motor and one of the 10 speed auto's out of the new Mustangs. Again, all the amenities. Something that would be nice to drive cross country. -Mad Max Interceptor replica with a 800rwhp GT500 drivetrain in it. And again, all the amenities. If I was smart I'd sell all of the motors, transmissions, blowers, rear ends, etc I have and get a 2020+ GT500 Track Pack and leave it stock. Or a C8 Corvette.....and leave it stock. I'm not smart though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronocidal Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 Also would be really difficult to do that as a DIY mod, considering the feet are solid metal. Could maybe paint the exhausts with fluorescent paint, but I don't think Bandai's construction is in any way conducive to adding internal lighting. They just love filling every nook and cranny with plastic inserts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I ask how much this one costs and what brand? Thanks! It's a Minichamps so on the higher end of the 1/18 stuff. Not too bad though. I found it on feeBay for $106 shipped. I'm new to the 1/18 stuff. Especially the race car replicas. The livery has a lot to do with the price/value. If it's a famous driver(s) and in a livery that won a race or championship that seems to drive the price up. I don't know if some of these die cast cars are distributed/sold Bandai style where they make one run and then no more. Hence driving the cost up. It seems like it may be that way on some of the cars. I was looking for a 80's Lamborghini Chountach LP400S but the two better ones (AUTOart and Kyosho) go for stupid money. $400-800. Then I ran across a PO on Kyosho re-releasing theirs in red (perfect) for I think it was $150 or so??? The Kyosho looks a wee bit better in the proportions than the AUTOart. But the AUTOart is actually more accurate to the real car. Kicking myself for not buying the 1:1 Countach LP500S I was offered in 2004 for...............................$47,000. No one wanted them back then. Now they go for silly money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's in 1/43 scale. And at this point, I really don't want to start another line of collectibles so I'm somehow just looking and you posting that 962 makes me want to cry. Hahaha! By the way, how big is 1:1 Countach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, how big is 1:1 Countach? It's kind of disappointing that $100 doesn't buy you an opening engine compartment, doors, etc. It's a great looking car though. I suppose that along with the accurate livery is where the money went (I imagine they have to pay for the livery). I hear you on not needing to collect something else. I'm pretty sure I won't be going down this rabbit hole though. That 1:1 Countach was almost as big as a real one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sqidd Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 (edited) I got a 1:18 Tumbler to replace the Jada Toys 1:24 that I have (all my other stuff is 1:18). I'm a bit underwhelmed. @tekering warned me. It's slightly undersized. It's nice though. The Delorean is fantastic though! Love it! Not bad for Hotwheels. I had to put a limit on this 1:18 stuff. And that is at 24 cars. That fills up the cabinet they're in currently. And I need some sort of control over this. Or it will get out of control!
