Looks fantastic. Good job Ed. I also had my 1:12 Hotwheels diecast customized last week. It was done by forum member 7vette. He customized as much of the diecast as possible. It started off with a black top and cashmere interior. Here's a few pics.

First, wow, is all I can say. That is one helluva good job of painting and detail work.

Last, if you find an AO, esp. a roadster, give me a loud shout, please.

1/12 Mont Red


1/18 Z06 LMB

Even Mario likes it (a forum member has his 1/12 signed since his real car was used in the magnaflow comerical with mario)

Very nice, looks good.

I just got a great deal on a 2005 Millenium Yellow with silver wheels 1:18th scale and was hoping to try and bring it closer in appearance to my 2006 Velocity Yellow with Comp Grey wheels, of course the steering wheel is different as well.

Your's looks nice too! 7vette does good work. Isn't it cool to have an exact model of your car.

If you are going to have it painted, it shouldn't matter what the color is if it can be painted to match. just an idea
