My Custom Hot Wheels

[W-409]

I finished this today. It was project of about four days. I had one Mercury Cougar, wich was a good car for this... First I took it a part and primered the body. After that, I painted it with Motip flake-red. I thaught that it's not good if I only paint the body... So I designed to build it 80's style Finnish Hot Rod. I raised rearend of this car. Body came ready and I did some test fit. It was good but something missed... I made mud flaps from paper, and I drew a USA flag to them. Sidepipes are made from tin. Interior was boring, so I painted the seats white, but like that you can see the black through that white paint. Steering wheel is made from tin and MIG- velding wire...

This is great Niko - I like the scratch work you did particularly the mud flaps. That's a good idea to use the wire for side pipes.

I think, those mud flaps look pretty good too. Thank you both for comments, Snapper, I sent you a reply for your question.
