    I used to do this at the dealership I used to work at. Another guy and I would finish all the work before lunch so we'd break out the Hot Wheels and go nuts. The boss hated us. My best was a Tahoe with a silver/blue fade paint job, huge wheels, tinted gl***, and a rolled rear pan. That was so much fun.

    I guess I would have to start opening these up if I wanted to start this hobby?

    Do a search and there are a few posts already of customized Hotwheels here.

    Me, I'm not too fond of a moderator on the hotwheels site. He's got a fragile ego and he's on a power trip. Needless to say I don't get on that site much anymore. Not worth it when the mod won't let me post.

    I haven't customized any myself, but I have a few customs that I've bought and traded.

    Nah, I've already talked with 3 other mods so far on there and told them the whole story. The mod on a power trip ain't changing his mind.

    very cool.
    I had thought that was a dead artform though (no offense).
    Just had not seen much of these around for a long time.
    I used to watch how much $$$$ the really good ones would bring on the bay.
    Was thinking about dabbling in it but then realized I don't have time for my real cars and it would be ****ty to make time for the toy ones.
    Hingeman, I used to have your ebay acoount bookmarked. I couldn't wait to see what you were going to come up with next. Didn't you do a 69 nova with opening doors and what not? (i think it was your creation).
    Man some of you got some talent to be working those small scale customs.
