"OOHHHH strangers. From the outside!" TOY STORY 2!

Some of you may remember last winter I did a Toy Story custom, now like the series, the sequel must be made. As of tomorrow morning, I will be starting the Toy Story 2 custom set. I should have pretty much most of what I need to do this, some stuff left over from the last time, so keep checking back!

"You have saved our lives! We are eternally grateful!"

I had a mishap with a food disposal, but here is what I got done today!

First, find a junked up old truck..preferably a Bronco...success!

The chassis has a good portion done, wheels are done, interior is stripped and primed, and the canopy and windows have been restored and painted.

The interior is about to go into paint. ANYBODY GOT AN EXTRA TOY STORY ACTION PACK?

I have not been able to progress much because my paint stripper expired and was not stripping car much at all. So I bought some fresh stuff and now it is about ready to be primed. Here is the interior now:

My work over the last couple of days. Amazing how fast a new can of paint stripper speeds things up!

Test fit before going into primer!

FIRST COATS OF PAINT! It is a very close match, matter of fact, it is dead on! The color? A magician never reveals his secrets!

Tomorrow, I will be doing a little...rusting of that nice new paint. I will also be doing the window trim, tail lights, and other general details. I've already cut the windows for my purpose. So I will also be adding our favorite little martians soon.

It is, but Hot Wheels dosen't have one. So I went for the next look-a-like.

I have not been able to post any more pics, but I will today!

Sorry, the Holidays came, I was gone, and I got tired of being in a cramped up space. I've repaired many items on my table so now I have space to continue my work. Actually, the truck was a Toyota Hilux.

I'm in a dilema. Do I buy another Buzz Lightyear figure for $6 shipped, for $20 shipped I get a whole new Toy Story 2 pack with the whitewall cruiser? Suggestions? On on hand, I get the figure I need and I can drill the regular cruiser. Or I can buy the pack and save some time but not replacing the wheels. WHICH WOULD YOU DO?
