Hot Wheels Nissan 350Z - Rescue/Custom


At the beginning of this blog adventure are a picture or 3 of this, it has been a couple of years to say the least and it has a bit of a story to it coming into my possession. 
While working as a security guard in a bar I noticed a party of 3 at the bar in front of the on duty bartender and 2 guys were talking with a lady who was handling the car which appeared to be tethered to a keychain thing and they had been in the bar, for a while. The bartender stopped me as I handled my indoor tasks and says, keep an eye on these guys" and I reply, "if anything goes down, I want the car" and he looks at me like I am kidding and turns to see it in the lady's hand. He shakes his head and says OK and I carry on. About 20 minutes later the 2 guys are arguing out the door with the lady in tow and the car is on the bar.
I walk out to see them leaving, car in my hand and off they go, the bartender walks out and asks, "did you get the car"? Smiling I pulled the car out from under my bar towel to verify that it was a Hot Wheels brand car and I was stoked to see the flame! The car had been drilled through the grill and area just below the oil cooler and used as a keychain, with no key(s) attached. The Nissan 350Z had some roof and pillar damage, worn paint and drill holes from a servitude of bondage. Now the car is finally getting its makeover the next couple of weeks after all of this time. 
Wheels need to be ordered and the body stripped down, rear pillars came "loose" from fixing the tweek in the roof and holes in the rear where the wing was, the interior needs detail and the glass needs some love. Then i must decide on paint...

Hot Wheels '17 Acura NSX - Wheel Swap 2

Hot Wheels '17 Acura NSX - Wheel Swap


This wheel swap came out much better after I dotted the axle caps and used MMR wheel spacers with the 10 spokes from MMR as well. The spacers are not easy to mess with and I had to mod the base for even the thinnest spacers offered. Lighting is better in the next 2 shots, axles caps pop and make the wheels stand out.

Hot Wheels 1993 Ford Mustang Cobra R - Error!


A friend of mine received her 1993 Ford Mustang Cobra R and hers has no front wheels! She was not happy at all, however I told her some people desire them and my second car was hers if she wanted to sell or trade. Yeehaw!


I think it would have been cool with no wheels or wrongs all the way around, however I see the humor, my friend a bit skeptical on their quality controls! 
*This was posted with less words on the RLC forum and it was moved to it's own thread, for hijacking the other thread! I simply shared her experience doing her unboxing and feathers were ruffled. Stay out of the RLC forum is top of the list from now on...

Hot Wheels 2017 Acura NSX


Another wheel swap I did today, no paint except a dot to cover a factory chip. More Mod My Ride wheels, these are the 10 spoke jobbers and they look good.

Hot Wheels RLC Gulf Datsun 510

 

     Some people have received their RLC Gulf Datsun 510's and complaints range from typical FedEx hatred to the cars coming un-numbered and the rest of us are back ordered until July. It is almost as if you know that some sort of issue will arise if the 510 is involved!
