The Diecast thread

The Mustang collection slowly growing. I also have a '99 red Vert and the Mach III concept car but they are in storage and I couldn't find them.

Some really nice collections you guys have there. Most of mine are hot wheels. I have about 300 hotwheels. I have only about 20 1/24 scale cars. Most of those are NHRA cars and NASCAR cars. My two best cars are a Matt kensth 03 championship car signed by Jack Roush and a 1 of 360 John force Salute to the soldiers car signed by John.

The last time I counted I think I had 52 1:24 scale Nascar diecast. Mostly Rusty Wallace, one of them being autographed. I think I have the same Matt Kenseth car you said you have. Is it the one with the top half being silver? Mine is not autographed though.

I did something like that when I owned my S-10 Pickup. I bought a model and modded it. I made headlight covers, bug sheild, vent visors, and a hard toneau cover from the cover of a notebook. With enough paint and clearcoat, you can make it look as good as if it were made from the plastic the rest of the model was made of. I also made a rear spoiler for on top of the lid out of a popsicle stick and a sun visor out of a old corvette dashboard. I know this sounds like it would look horrible , but it actually turned out pretty good. Next time I head to the garage where my stuff is being stored at, I will snap a pic and post it up. Only difference is my truck was not a stepside and the model is. I also put a cowl induction hood on my truck after the model was built.

Yes the Kenseth car is the one with the silver top. I have several Kenseth cars and some jeff Gordon cars. Even have his busch car when he drove a ford. My favorite looking car is my M&Ms 4th of july car.

I know what you mean about having them in storage. I moved to an apartment and now have a son so about 80% of my collection is now in storage. Can't wait to buy my own house. I also have the green 1:18 scale Foose mustang. I have a 1:24 Green Bad Boy GT with the blower, a red one without the blower, and also a blue one without the motor. I lalso have a smaller scale of all three of these mustangs. I also have a yellow GTR Mustang.
