Interesting. Well, I don't collect Matchbox so I didn't know. Too far into it now...so I must progress!
Well, here is some of the rust, dents, and dings I've added, and still going. I'll cut the back seat out and make a bed later.

I've decided to use the Al's Custom Cruiser that was left over from last year since I found just the Buzz figure from this set.

you would need ask [B][URL="http://forum.toycarexchange.com/vb/member.php?832703-aranjaloca1"]aranjaloca1[/URL] [/B]it's his truck
*sigh*
I wish I knew of that casting BEFORE I got in this far. I'll consider it, but I have to keep my time in mind. I need to have this done and the other custom I'm working done as well by the first weekend of next month for our local Hot Wheels show. I got all the major stuff out of the way over Christmas so I was able to focus on classes, starting tomorrow. So now that I'm down to details, its awful hard to buy another car, strip it, drill it, start all over again. I'll consider it, but I'll see if time allows. What was the name of that casting? If I choose to go this route, I'd rather find one in a little worse shape...hate to drill such a pristine model!
contact [B][URL="http://forum.toycarexchange.com/vb/member.php?832703-aranjaloca1"]aranjaloca1[/URL] [/B]he'll know the full name i saw him post it in another section
I sent him a PM...now for the updates...
Well, I'm done with MOST of the rust, dents, and scratches. I won't do the rest until final touches. But it is almost midnight, I'm tired, I'm off tomorrow, so here are the pics as crappy as they are...live with them for the night and y'all gonna like 'em! LMAO! A wee bit cranky? :D
Experimenting with the various fonts and sizes for the "YO" decal. I've given up trying to free hand it, if I try to redo it again, I may screw up my paint!

The truck as-is. I want my Buzz figure to be here...I really need him! I also may get some model clay or something to start making the Little Green Men, the characters, and the Pizza Planet spaceship.

While was drying, I decided to free the Al's Custom Cruiser. I'm debating drilling it to detail the interior. I'll have to paint the whitewalls on though.
