2012 Silverado Custom

I often have my "radar on" for model car projects and I found this one in the toy section of our local Walmart store. I spotted a number of Adventure Wheels Pullback Racer toy vehicles that looked pretty close to the 1/25 and 1/24 scale models I usually work with. I looked closely at the Silverado pickup and said "I could make a neat custom out of that..." I bought it and set about to customize it. I removed the door handles and tailgate handle and slammed the chassis to the ground. I used the 5-star custom 1949 Mercury wheels and tires and covered the body with Spaz Stix Candy Red and Rustoleum 2X clear. I made a bed cover out of styrene clapboard plastic and painted it flat black. I am pleased with my late model pickup custom project and did I mention it cost $4.99 at Walmart?
