Hotwheels Pontiac Firebird.

It didn't come with a silver grille just to avoid any confusion, I sanded that down before I even took the before shot

Matchbox Siva Spyder.

Wondered what it might look like in green. This was quite a mullered example before so I couldn't completely get rid of the glass damage but a heavy orange tint helped.

Matchbox '57 Chevy, formerly a Rice Krispies company car.

Had no idea this casting existed til a couple washed up in a job lot.

This one has a metal base, weighs a ton.

Matchbox Mercury Dragster, started last October, got some more work done last night

Will probably lacquer it and do the glass again, then there's the other one...

Scales nicely with the HW '74 Charger, and both have had equal amounts of surgery

Work continues on the Challengers.

Both had big bits of the windscreen missing, repaired them by making A-pillars then filling with glue.

The ruf trek is being put to work keeping the repaired screen level while the thick coat of tamiya smoke sets.

It will itself be undergoing surgery of it's own soon but thats another story
