I got pretty excited when I found out Hot Wheels started making 62 Chevy trucks. I've been buying them wherever I see them now. I have a few of them. So (got the idea from a fellow member) I decided to blow one apart and make it look like my truck. I drilled out the rivets, and my girl sanded it and I painted it. I robbed the wheels off of another hot wheel type car that had white walls and smoothies:metal:... Too much time on my hands, I know! But I had a blast doint it...Enjoy!!! :ito::chevy: (these pics are a bit fuzzy, better pics are below)

thats sick bro! take some better pics! I want to see the detail! Very well done!

VERY NICE - and the wife thinks I'M obsessing about MY truck.
Funny, I was just mentioning to someone the other day how hard it was to remove the wheels from a Hot Wheels vehicle… certainly less fun than whacking my brother with the orange tracks.

Thanks, salazar 44. Yeah, the pics are a bit fuzzy. I need a camera with manual focus. Our camera has auto focus and it isn't focusing on the truck, just whatever's in the background.

I agree with you Steverino, the chassis and wheels were a pain to get off!

that is very cool!! nice work!!

try macro mode. the little flower icon usually. its for close up pics

Thats sweet Joe!!

cool love it!!!:chevy:

yah re-do the photo shoot in Macro mode and let us see that cool little ride!....fawk now you got me on ebay searching!...anyone build models of their rides yet?

i bought a couple at this place in the montebello town center... off the 60. I will take a pic and post it later. The only thing is that a hot wheel is a hot wheel! mine is a no-name model.

I have like six of the hot wheels version of the 62. I also have about 4 Johnny Lightning 65's. That's my next mini project. I'm gonna make a mini replica of my lady's 65 out of one of those....

That's cool!

way cool!

Heck ya thats cool! good idea a mini custom :metal:

I have bought a couple of the maroon ish of them when i see them in a store.

That is cool, nice addition!

I have a few custom hotwheels and yours turned out very nice.

you can alos step back and zoom up to it so it's in focus.

I have not seen any 60's chevy truck hot wheels around here. But then again I really have not been looking. :lol::uhmk:

These pics are a little better...:chevy: My boss snapped some pics with his Canon... :ito:

nice

haha... VERY COOL!

cool man, but you need not drive that thing so fast, I think your surf board must have blown out :lol:

I finally found a couple of these hot wheels this past Monday at a Loves truck stop by my work, gave them to my sons, they love 'em :thumbs:

There ya go!! very cool! :chevy:

These pics are a little better...:chevy: My boss snapped some pics with his Canon... :ito:

Outstanding end product Joe!:metal: I havent finished mine yet, but it is blown apart and sanded, just need to finish the paint and reassemble.

that looks cool.

Thanks everyone! It was a fun little project. Actually, it looks better in person. On these huge pictures you can see all the things I missed and the crooked paint lines you can't see in person. Oh well.... It's still cool. My buddy gave me an idea...I'm going to drill a hole through it and use on for my air cleaner wing nut. If it don't work, I'll make another...

Thats sweet bro, now you have to chrome the inside of your big truck to match !!:lol:

Thats pretty sweet....

I dig it.

Look great...
