[Jeppe]

i thought i was the only one who messed with these things ...( all 1:24 so far) heres the grand national, '67 impala, '96 impala ss, and my 55 bel-air. i have another '67 impala sanded and primeres waiting for some of that house of kolor candy purple spray paint to come in the mail from indianapolis ( where i lived the last 25 yrs..) i thought i would be able to find the paint down here in florida but i cant .. here they are.. if you dont like old cars on huge wheels DONT LOOK ANY MORE ... the GN and the 96 imp. are south florida style all the way. if you dont know what im talkin bou then dont hate ..i did all the work too .. please comment

p.s. ive included pics of a real car the same style so ppl cant say im crazy for doin what i do

wow! i like the grand national...

[Jeppe]

thanks alot.... i like how you did that EXT too ..... how did you get those LEDs in there?? also do you know anything abou adding neon to these cars? if so where can i find it ?

[rasta_dubbed]

just buy L.E.D. then wire it - then custom fit it to the car...

i use 9v for the power supply.

-same as the neons-

[Jeppe]

what type of neons tho, tubes? if you know anywhere i can look lemme know thx.

i really like the grand national. in the first pic of the real car i saw that car in my dub magazine. what rims did you use and how did you do that lift?

[Jeppe]

i used the rims off the 1:24 lexani toys escalade (junk car) thats there i got the speakers for the blue bel-air too .. the lift is temp. till i find a better way.. right now its a dub city tire cut in half glued to the frame.... its just sitting on the axles

for the neons... u can use L.E.D. and a clear straw/tube(plastic)... so 1 L.E.D. for each end for the straw/tube(plastic)...it will make a neon effect...

im in asia...so maybe u can find L.E.D... in any hardware store..

by the way.. how did u make that butterfly door?

[Hobbes]

I was waiting for somebody to do those mods. I like them all especially the Impalas.

[Jeppe]

all i did with the doors is unscrew them and glue them up that way.. they dont shut.. i tried a few times to get doors to be functional.. and i broke 3 cars in the process... hopefully jada toys will catch on soon. they have the magnum now but who wants a magnum?? haha.. ive thought of finding a way to use magnets to make them functional but i havent really got into it yet..also, thanks for the info about the neons.. i'll be adding those to the green buick a.s.a.p.

[rasta_dubbed]

@Jeppe : no problem.

Not my style but sick none the less. How did you do the lambos? The forum doesn't have pictures.
