So I bought this slot car, and made a mold from the body.







So from that silicone mold I shot in some urethane and grabbed some of the flip paint from my car and made this awesome slot car replica of my car. I need to add a spoiler but it is really close...now I need a track.







Here is my car for comparison.



If you want one let me know, I need to find out shipping costs, it would be raw urethane for you to paint how you like.

thats pretty cool
it has to be one of the only coupe body fiero toys ive ever seen
Let me know how much one would cost

Now if we can just figure out how to duplicate the power to wieght ratio and instant acceleration in the full size version.

Looks good, but really need a 3800SC motor swap.

I feel bad that original body was in mint condition. I had to pack the under cut formed from the front facia curling under with clay. When I pulled it out I decided to disolve the clay out with Bestine which never ever attacks paint or graphics but eats out Klean Clay for casting. Well guess what? Bestine if left on a Tyco slot car finish for an hour will make it blister a little. So I tried to buffit out on a polishing wheel. I was working until the buff grabbed the body. WHAM! right into the wall. I hate it when I do that. I was surprised to see it in one piece. However it had a nice big scuff across the roof and hood. So in this case it didn't buff right out. Anyway I would say $3 for urethane and $3 for postage could get you a raw urethane body. Pm me if you want one, when I cast more I will let you know.
I'm searching eBay for a replacement for my scuffed body. These slot cars are cheap.

It needs a widebody kit to cover those rear tyres.

Most Fiero toys are the coupe body style.It's the Fastback that is in short supply.
Hot Wheels has released the coupe in about 10 different paint schemes.
Matchbox had one that was a wide body coupe in several different paint schemes.
And there were several others.

As far as I know...other than plastic models...Ertl is the only company to release a diecast toy Fastback.

I didn't know you knew anything about hotwheels cars.

hardee har har har.
there's one in every crowd.

Micro Machines made a fastback in several different colors. Hot Wheels also made a mutilated fastback at one point, I think it had a gun on the roof and monster truck wheels.

Here is the ERTL fastback. They often sell for a wildly-high price on eBay but I got this one for about $10 from a guy at the Dells Run:


How much for one of those molds?

Very nice work on that mold. You should make Fiero Chocolate, maybe some Fiero Icecube trays...

Here is a pic of some of the cars:

^Nice collection. Curious to know who made that white Aero Notchie (Indy?) on the bottom though.
