My primary hobby is building and restoring plastic models, so I thought it was time to see what I could do to modify a diecast. I'm taking baby steps. This first one, I just stripped the tampos from this Hot Wheels '59 Bel Air 2-door and detail painted it. Take my word for it, the tampos were awful - "REDPHIN" scrawled in letters as high as the body sides from the front wheel wells all the way to the back bumper, and various sponsorship lettering on the decklid.
I have a Matchbox Cadillac "Flower Car" in the works, cut down from a Hearse. Photos to come once I get it back together and in paint.
