Scuderia Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 Have any of you die-cast folks picked up one of these and stripped it and rebuilt it? I always liked how these looked on the street, and it might end up on my list for some variety. Haven't done a die-cast change yet.
SSNJim Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 I've got one in progress. If that's a Brookfield Collector's Guild car, it's not a diecast, it's plastic, more of a promo. The only real problem with it is that the rear part of the roof above the rear window is a light bar. That's what is causing me the issues, getting the roof right after removing the light bar. I have seen the non-pace car version, too, without the light bar. There's a removable section in the roof that either has the light bar or not depending on the version. Other than that, it's a nice little model, pretty well detailed for a promo. Curbside, steel axles, and clear headlights/lenses. The dash is pretty well done with finely detailed gauges, and a wood trim strip on the passenger side. Someone converted one of these to a 4 door Lumina in police car livery. Maybe it was MiataMadman. I seem to remember the car in Prince Georges, MD markings. He is big into local emergency equipment.
Scuderia Posted July 24, 2012 Author Posted July 24, 2012 Cool cool, Hopefully you dig yours out and work on it soon lol. And yes it's brookfield, didn't realize it was plastic. I'll try and grab one of these up
