Oldies but goodies..

[elizasteave]

All of the collections of each one of you are great. It was simply impossible for me to remove the eyes. The collections of VW vehicles, especially the car in which every door is open caught my attraction.

front view

now that i have a Dremel Set, Im gonna do a bunch more cars. Been doing it since I was like 16 yrs old by opening the cars with a small nail and hammer and using a hack saw for modifying the height on cars without springs. Not many match box cars have the flat spring in em anymore

Nothing on hand but "kit-Bashing" may be your only option in 1:43. It cand get pricey but that's one option.
Check ou the BBS RSs on the Alpine. (The tires are to big but in most cases those can be swapped out.)

The other option is Slot car accessories. I Couldn't find much for 1:43 but did find these in 1:35. Some might work for a 1:43 Mk1

3some wheel swap

[sbvwfanatic]

A little quick mock-up on the beetle.

They are a little on the large side but might work once I roll the inner fender wheels. AKA grind them w/the dremmel tool.

[vwjoem]

I decided to spruce up the look, I got this from Value Village this week.

[vwjoem]

did another...





Maisto body on MTB wheels

[IanFermor]

Here is a work in progress. I am currently working on a cage to go in. Then maybe some decals.



Some other customs I did last year:

[sbvwfanatic]

Found a Maisto Hauler w/a Dodge viper on it @ Ross for $5. The Viper had these wheels and I thought they were perfect for a wheel swap. I haven't decided what they will go on yet.



I have more possible swapees but my camera ran out of batteries so I'll have to do some more mock-ups tomorrow.

[impulse byer]

Can i play? I was unable to find Fuchs to give me the scale i wanted but these didn't come with this kit. so still a swap?

[vwjoem]

Too cold & snowy to be outside so I did a few more...


the silver Golf (welly) had some ugly chrome steelies


These Maisto got good treatment


BBS y0


RX7 looking better



I swapped out the Caddi wheels to the Chevy, there were much too large (truck size).
The wheels the Caddi has on are proportion to the scale size, but still looking for the same size but different wheel.


lowered this one

Stay tuned for Beetle, gonna lower it and wheel swap...plus...
