Default Car is Done!

Added PICS! I just got the call, the car is being put back together right now and will be cut and polished this afternoon.. tomorrow I have the windshield guy coming to put in a new one and I will take it home tomorrow afternoon.. Im about to jump out of my skin im so excited..

As a personal touch, I had a tatoo artist/airbrush artist paint on a hot wheels emblem in place of the Mustang script that came with the car. I pulled the script off and had the holes filled, so after the first coat of clear he came in and airbrushed the hotwheels logo 10x2.5 inches just like the script onto both fenders in silvers and gray.. I havent seen it yet and I hope it doesnt look like a$$ but my 6 year old son will have a cow when he sees dad drive up in a hotwheels car.. (he's got about 120 of em..)

Anyway.. I have the new eliminator fiberglass hood on and a boss style black out with gloss black and the pin stripe..

I just had to share.. Here is the hotwheels logo.. just incase anyone was wondering what it looked like.

Great news!

I'd be really excited, too. I'm not so sure about the Hot Wheels logo, but the surprise in your son's eyes might make that all worth while. Make sure you post pictures when you get it.

Holy crap. Thats a lot of hot wheels.. You can definately send it out.. If you think $0.99 per car.. Thats A lot of money.. though Im sure they were cheaper back in the day.

See the difference in color from inside and outside.. ITs got some good metal flake to it.
