Merry Christmas :
Paint only no mods done to cars..
These are running in a Stock Gasser race for Church youth... So they all needed some color a few get their favorite color Pink which I had to spray Peral white over and under Red to get the right shade for one of our Lil Gal Rcers... Going around to the house to drop off so parents can put in their stockings.. Only bad thing is they all know who painted the cars... lol I have done several for parent helpers and race props...
I just finished Clear Coating 7 of the 8 cars this morning... Got their boxes put together and now off the the wrapping station in kitchen I go... Ho Ho Ho ...
The cars are All Hotwheels 55 Chevy Bel Air Gassers... All Painted with Createx paint Candy and Pearl colors.
I Love this Hobby and racing at Church. It has lit my fire to get my track done so I can join you all on the track..
please enjoy this very special day with family and friends! Stay Safe!

I received an Ultra Hots Fairmont as a gift car from a track host and decided it was the closest thing I would ever find to a 1976 Ford Granada......I turned it into my 1st car from high school days.
- Cool! — ManiacMotorsports
- Very nice and clean ride you have, I would Love to find my ole car car High School... 63 VW Bus... missing that ride we did a lot with that van... — Desert_Rat_Racing
- That is awesome - I’ve done 3 or 4 of the cars I’ve owned as Hot Wheels. Sometimes I keep them very accurate as to what I owned - other times I super customize them into what I wanted the car to look like. — AbbyNormal
- Very nice! I miss the Granada and Fairmont. I also made a model of my first car; a 1976 Mustang II that I made using a Welly 1:63 scale casting. I'm planning to make a few more using Welly and Tomica (Tomy) castings. Hoping to make a few that are worthy of mailing to races. — Billys_Midway_Racing
- Step-brother's 1st car was a 76 Mustang 2 - notch/trunk back — Dutch_Clutch_Racing
- That was my model too. Silver 1976 Mustang II coupe with a 302 V8. I've missed that car ever since I sold it in 1992. — Billys_Midway_Racing
- Air Shocks? Had them on my 65 Comet. Only way to fit 50's back there! — Bent_Rod_Racing
- Man I miss casting like these! Very nice. — Jo_Tang_13
- Definately air shocks. I tended to put air shocks in before I put gas in! Hey Bent Rod.....ever weld together the spider gear so you could get both wheels spinning instead of 1? — Dutch_Clutch_Racing
- I was a Back yard Monkey Mechanic, just paid someone to do the work. And if I could afford it hunt downa PosiTrack rearend. — Bent_Rod_Racing

Hello Everyone, I built these pro-stock cars for the upcoming Southern Pro-Stock Skirmish! I am new to the forum and thought this would be a good place to say hello. I've been in and out of the hobby since 2018. I used to hold in-person races and tuning days for youth at my previous job. Now that I have more time I am excited to jump back in! I am a big fan of drag racing, drifting, and rally racing. Outside of diecast racing, I am into 1/24 slot car drag racing and Mini Z Time Attack. Looking forward to many races here!
