This custom bus started life as the matchbox transporter.
the roof is filled in, and it has a custom made chassis.
the body is 1/16 of a inch off of the ground. and all the wheels turn.

This sweet hauler started out as 3 hot wheel dairy deliveries. the cab was cut to look like a semi cab from the 1950`s. the trailer is made from 2 dairy deliveries. it is removable from the cab. the wheels are matchbox chrome hub bud style rims with rubber tires.

I custom built this car to match a friends real oldsmobile. I started with a hot wheels flat out 442, I removed the front fender flares and the front spoiler. I closed the hood scoop opening. I added a larger rear spoiler. made a new interior. moved the engine to the rear of the car. and gave it a killer paint job just like his real car. you can see the real car here;

This VW fast back started life as a total beater. it had the solid black plastic tires. I removed the body and painted a sweet orange with a yellow fade flame paint scheme. I lowered the suspension so the body would ride 1/16 of a inch from the ground. I used the hot wheel real rider custom wheels for a awesome finished product.

This Bus started life as the matchbox transporter. the roof was removed and 1/8 of a inch was removed from the roof pillars. the roof was replaced and the side windows and roof was filled in to look like a panel bus. I also made a custom chassis. the bus rides 1/16 of a inch off of the ground.

This set is AWESOME. the bus pulling the trailer is completely stock. all it has is a custom paint job and a trailer hitch. you can see a bigger picture of the bus on my stripes page. the trailer is hand built by my self. it is made from brass and plastic. the funny bus has the baby boomer chassis and the same paint job as the other bus. you can see a bigger picture of the funny bus on my funny car page.

This custom coupe is what it looks like. I used the 32 ford coupe body and the phaeton front clip and chassis. all the moldings were removed from the coupe body and the two bodies were smoothly grafted together. this car is HOT. and the wild purple paint is flawless.

This is the dairy delivery. I cut the body so it would open like a clam shell. it turned out real good. the hinge was made from brass. and the interior was detailed. I also added a blown big block engine in the front engine bay.

This is the original funny money body mounted on the baby boomer chassis. a friend sent me the body and asked me if I could make something out of it. I think it turned out really nice.
