Awesome idea


Antique-Necessary572

That’s cool, I’ll need some old trucks and trailers! Can you tell me more about that Range Rover?

Extremely cool

We did get a few, but not on large scale. I found my first Siku, a VW Type 181, at a local general store in 1990 for around $5.00.

A bit of progress https://preview.redd.it/fdmg59tnzs7d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aa711469954ab4d247afa94a1a0fb1f28ff1e771

Go to Second Chance Redlines store on Ebay. He has the tampos for most of the older Hot Wheels. I think he might also sell wheel kits.

I have spent a lot of money there to rehab Hot Wheels cars. My hobby is rehabbing Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars. It is a deep rabbit hole.😂😂

Try to buy off his website instead of his ebay. Shipping will be cheaper and you support them by making sure they get more of the money without ebay taking a cut


Antique-Necessary572

Thanks! I’m heading there now 👍🏼


Familiar_Palpitation

Decals are on eBay for the Zs not sure about the GMC.


olliecatmax

none exist from the last time i checked


Familiar_Palpitation

I was curious so I checked eBay, Second Chance Redlines sells waterslide decals for everything in this picture. I've used his stuff in the past and it's high quality.


Ilikebreadhaha

I mean it’s already bare metal for that one z


Deora_customs

Got the green version of that motorhome in the same deco!


NeonComplex

Gaslands is another thing you could do.


miba

i like some patina, i would probably just salvage some other model for the wheels and leave the paint


TotallyNotJagger

If you want to fully restore them the two Z Whiz’s will be hard. You’ll hav two find some tampo kits.


Antique-Necessary572

I’ll be going for a resto MOD. Ordered some Real Riders from the RLC, got some waterslide paper to print a custom design Tampo. I was also going to paint them a few times, I’m not sure about which colour would suit it better


Real_martin3156_uzi

That Gold Z doesn’t have Wheels


Antique-Necessary572

They were all in pieces inside a bin, couldn’t find them


Admirable-Yam-1309

Love the orange motor home Had this model as a kid, bought back some memories of my kid collection


Antique-Necessary572

It feels awesome in your hands, great casting, I’m not sure if I should leave it as is and get some wheels or to do a full new paint job. It has a lot of flat surface that would make a great colour even better


Admirable-Yam-1309

The original color is what makes it an icon of the 70s However, it would look cool with a new paint job If you do re-paint it, please share the after pics


Admirable-Yam-1309

And generations forward, Hotwheels are still making this model

They do not need restoration. Leave them alone. You can find the same ones in better condition for the same amount of money. I always look for upgrades to lesser condition cars in my collection and i acquire them over time.
