'68 Gto

A copy of one of my brother's old cars, it was painted a brighter than "correct" green, so it is reflected in the color on this one... - Mark

I believe the casting originally came with the yellow glass. There are several castings with colored glass unfortunately its hard to find some of them with out colored glass. (I.E, 8 Crate, Low Boy, .etc)

Re: '68 Gto

Scalemaster: As you may have seen elsewhere I've got my Vac.U.Form working. I'm Changing some of those HW's mistakes out now. If your interested in changing some tinted glass out I might be of help. I'm sure if you'd wanted clear glass on this one you could have cut a suitable one out of blister. I wouldn't wast a good Vac Sheet on something I can make out of blister. Goat looks good. Chrome trim makes it.

Thanks Hooter, but as a model and pattern maker I have all those "toys/tools" too, it just doesn't warrant the extra work. This is just a stocking stuffer, as I do every year for him. Hot Wheels are not usually something I feel I have to build to the level of my "real" models, more like model candy and quick entertainment.
The tire lettering is from my decal sheet, (has tons of goodies on it), anyone interested just let me know, I'll send you the info, (they are on sale now for the winter building season)...
Merry Christmas all! - Mark

Mark, I wish I was your brother to get a stocking stuffer like that (or even to just see your work and play with your tools ).

Hey Mike, I've seen your work, you can make your own cool stocking stuffers.
You can see my work when you make it out here, but I have to draw the line at playing with my tools... - Mark

BTW, my brother really dug it. Next up for him is a colaboration on a 1/18 Z/28 between the both of us....
