Cool. I just grabbed the same car to make a street version of it, with an uncaged interior, flat glass and stuff. I also have a orange racing version that @R1600Turbo sent me sans wheels which I'll be adding some touches and of course wheels to make it complete again.

If you say Camero once again I'll kick you a bit. Thank you

I apologize good sir. My phone is a bit touchy. Sometimes it corrects sometimes it doesn't. I didn't even notice it till you pointed it out.
Edit: fixed it!

Also that galaxy is pretty cool. Is that a new release or an older one? As in what are my chances of finding one?

Also, @Cano the diecast detective, does anyone make a 2006+ eclipse better than the Hot Wheels/Matchbox one? I figured you might know.

Wher can I find paper for the graffric thingy that goes on the cars like I want to do a hemi 426 striker does Office Depot sell them ?

 

[Cano]

Hobby shops, dude. But first tell us on what are you going to apply. I'm not talking about the car, rather what color it is and what color you want the decal.

Need black numbers and lettering was thinking of using electrical tape but it's too thick and it will come off

It's something matchbox?

Good guess, but no cigar.

Motormax... something. Rx7? I frankly don't remember how the interior of that thing looks and since yours is missing like half of it, it's even more difficult to tell.

Or Supra? Whatever, it's a Motormax. I'd recognize those impossible wheels everywhere.

The wheels are indeed of the Motormax variety. Well spotted. 👍

The rest however... The mystery continues.

How bout this for a restro project? A coworker found it when he was digging a new garden for his wife.

Lol. It's so jacked. Any ideas.. besides trash

 

[Missfrost]

Well the stiker thing is too hard to do so il put that in the back burner this is a side project I've bin working on its bin slow going because I don't have proper tools my brother won't let me use them
So this took way longer than it should have so far I have this

Need to go get paint brother locked his paint cabin "no girls allowed" that's it for now

Can I phone a friend? Or maybe get a country of origin?

That looks mad good. I actually really like that.

No idea then, too destroyed to actually know what it is. The interior in general looks like a Hot Wheels piece.

Not the Wagon! Noooooo!

Progress. Less rust more metal. Going for either a tow truck or flat bed.

Ohh I love that Beatle. Also you should do something crazy with the Mercedes in the back ground

 

[Nessy]

Both good guesses but both wrong. I'm not ready to reveal exactly what it is yet, and to be honest it's nothing spectacular, but i'm happy with how it's coming along.

Nope, nope, nope... and nope.

Yea I have a few ideas for the merck not to big of a fan of the Beatle don't like them but it has the wheels I like so it was worth the trade

 

[Nvrrespected]

I don't like most Beatles, but I like that one, the hot rod ish style one

 

[BryCivicSi]

Going to try and swap the lift kit from the Johnny Lightning Scout to the Datsun.

There is no Beatles. Only a beetle.

 

[BryCivicSi]

There is no Beatles. Only a beetle.

There were four Beatles- John, Paul, George and Ringo.

You are right. My phone loves to mess with me. I type one thing and it corrects it... Or doesn't. And it's always not what I want.

I am the Walrus.

 

[BryCivicSi]

Quick mock up.

I need to shave some of the rear springs and some of the rear chassis from the Datsun. Thinking I will shave the chin spoiler. I am digging the green paint for now.

 

[Missfrost]

Sorry for the misspelling of beetle any way got this guy at yard sale

And don't know how to remove the rivets any help wild be hot

Whoo I like! Keep the chin spoiler, and the paint would work just as good as anything else. Those aren't the same wheels as the JL Scout are they? They look awesome.

No, I don't really like the look of the original JL wheels. I have two sets of RR tires like that so I figured this would be a good time to try them out.
