I just started one today. A Daytona superbird getting the viper treatment. Exact color blue, motor, and hopefully the interior. The last one I finished was an exact replica of "blakeinspace's" car. The yellow 88 with the tall wing. And an indy fiero.

I painted a Hotwheels Fiero up for my Nephew in colors of his choice, cant rememebr if I took any pics though.
Oh speaking of deloreans I have a few, no large ones but a few. This past year I found a new Hotwheels one in stores, a red one with a 10 on the door.

Heck yeah! I'm thinking about doing each set with later model drivetrain in them. Sourcing parts is kinda being problematic though.

Thought about having mine powder coated. If it's too $$$ I'll have to brush up on my rattle can skills.

Once I get started I'll have to use the other computer to post pics of progress. This laptop won't let me do much due to the security

Isn't that a Super Treasure Hunt? If you found one in the store you better hang on to it.

Sorry about the crappy pic quality...taken with my cellphone.




Fairfield Mint just released a Cadillac Cyclone, a 50s Earl concept for a 2 seat Caddy. http://www.conceptcarz.com/...e-XP-74-Concept.aspx
What years you still need. I know of 53, 55 and 56, 60 Caddy sedans and convs out there. I have a few Caddy stretch limos ; a custom Hot Wheels 90 DeVille, Majorette 1/50 90?, and a George Bush Presidential limo (mint in box) in 1/43 if your interested.

On real DeLorean, did you know they built 3 gold anodized stainless ones for American Express. Fairfield also has a DeLorean slot car racing set.

That's the same one I saw at the flea market here last weekend. It should say something on the package about it. Maybe the guy was just a blow hard.

You going to post any progress pics. I downloaded some to PB, so I'll see if it works. Just getting started, so there's really no progress other than disassembly of the Camaro and the donor Z06. Still working on finding my tow donor Vipers for the Mopar's.
