2012 Mystery car. Came in the little plastic baggies.

Ah, I see.

I'm going to have to bump up the Hunter Camaro replica on my to-do list at this rate.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Are they still in stores? I want one.

Not really. I have an extra but the paint is messed up. I saw a bunch of the baggies at Walmart tonight, but chances of this car being in one of them is slim. They were hard to find in the first place.

Maybe that's why I don't recall seeing one. Thanks for the info though!

Hi guys, that seems to be all I find over here in Australia, I got these out of the first maybe 12 Mystery cars I opened

You didn't know about the number they print on the front of the bag, huh? They tell you which car's inside the bag. Also, now we know why there was a shortage of those Camaroes in the States.

No I didn't know about the number, had to purchase about 25 packs to get my set, bit of a newbie collector to the Hot Wheels world

Look! even someone else thought of doing a livery series: http://lamleydlm.blogspot.ca/2013/01/the-wild-bre-customs-of-massputra-usacc.html

I need to establish mine, fast.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yours is unique though, he just copied someone else's.

 

[AOS-]

You haven't even seen what mine looks like yet. Even I haven't!

Yeah the series are cool. I try and give those their own feature.

Jason, email me pics of your 458 for the custom post tomorrow, and anyone else who has anything to add.

(And Jason your Civic is finally on its way...)

I won't be releasing photos of mine just yet. Hopefully after I get all this storage and photo documenting out of the way, I'll be able to dish out something by the end of this month granted I won't be crammed with work.

 

[asher1027]

Here are some of my customs that I have done.

This is a Civic that I did just today.
I painted the interior, detailed it, took some of the tampos off, and painted the Honda logo.

Here is a 458 Italia I resonantly finished. I detailed the engine and made the wheels yellow.

And a Fisker Karma, I changed the wheel color, painted the exterior and detailed the interior.

And lastly, a Dodge Ram. The silver parts used to be creme colored.

Hope you liked them!

 

[JER_CREST]

hey you need to put instead of "<a href" in front of the image address you need to put "

 

[AOS-]

Wait. so you opened the car to do the interior, but didn't just grab the gold wheels off another car for your 458? Why not?

 

[CodeRedR51]

458 Spyder attempt #2. Same wheels but painted inside the spokes. Lowered the stance on this one a bit, and nearly the same detailing as the last one. Messed up the right taillight though and there's no easy way to fix it, so it's gonna have to stay that way.

Looks good 👍

Now you just need to lather it with some decals and it'll sell like hot cakes. 👍

 

[CodeRedR51]

Screw decals.

 

[AOS-]

Speaking of, how's your progress coming along with the Falcons?

 

[jtl46]

Really nice Jason.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I have a printer.

That's about it.

 

[McZachenF1138]

That's about where I am too.

So as you're probably expecting, Jason's stuff gets featured in Lamley Weekly's. Except I want to bring up that extended Dairy Delivery for a second. I had an exact same idea joining two Chevy express Vans together. Was I going to do it? Was planning to, but I lost interest a while back.

As for the repackaged R34. What casting was gutted for those wheels? I need to know!

The engine bay on the Datsun is nice and the Kool Kombi is just dope. It makes me want to hoard a bunch whenever I see them.

 

[VspecZR1GT2RS89]

Nice work on the 458 Jason. It looks good, now if that was a 1:1 scale, I would drive it ASAP. 👍

I had not seen this one. Surgeon's pulse to paint there. It looks way better lowered.

I am cutting up a chin spoiler for the 72 Formula 400 as I type this.

I gotta find Kool Kombi. I've yet to see any.

My second place might be that DeLorean. A lot of nice cars featured there, but Jason's Ferrari most definitely stuck out. Good work Jason, and thanks for the link Andy. 👍

 

[Cano]

Ah, I could not see the entries at work because blogs are blocked. I want to slap the idiot that lowered the 55 Chevy. The DeLorean is awesome.

Also, Jtl, that guy commenting in the post andy just linked, Jeff Koch... is that the Jeff Koch I',m thinking? Like, Hot Rod Magazine ex-editor Jeff Koch?

 

[diabolicwyvern]

First project (back) on the line after receiving new dremel for Christmas.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Lookin' good there. 👍
I want to customize the same MR2 I got at a flea market last weekend.
