I found some photos of Plymouth Volare and Dodge Aspen coupes that have various blue stripe graphics. Does anybody think something in that color palette would work on my cream and brown Volare? In my head I thought it would work, but I'm struggling to come up with right layout. Any suggestions y'all? Thanks for the love everybody.

Tiny Toyota Tundra Thursday

I modified this 1:64 Jada brand Tundra a couple years ago. I had sort of a Power Tour idea of it being a drag n drive truck. I used wheels from another brand donor car, and modified the chassis plate and wheel tubs to allow tire clearance. Even little scale trucks need attention to clearances. This one rolls nicely. It also pairs wonderfully with my Hot Wheels Toyota Stout in the wide body edition Ryan Tuerck drifts with.

What do y'all think? Should this be built in real life? What would you power it with? I'd use a supercharged Cadillac 500. πŸ˜πŸ€ πŸ˜ŽπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ€™

The other night after dinner I polished the bumpers on my '78 Plymouth Volare coupe. I also lowered the front about another inch. It's really coming along nicely. What do y'all think?

Would you drive something with an interior like this? I'm debating redoing my Volare interior in vivid turquoise like this since I need to redo front seat, headliner, carpet and a few small pieces. It's all currently a caramel brown in a cream/brown car. These photos are from a Benz I found in a group.

Today's tiny truck photos are a really cool pairing. Both are custom slammed and shortened medium duty trucks; one tiny and one real big.

The Matchbox is a Chevy C60 I modified last summer with older Hot Wheels wheels and some body/suspension changes. The background truck is almost the star of the show though, a Load Star. It's a project my buddy got this year, it's been slammed and shortened as well. We've got some big upgrades planned for it come July, once all the car builds are wrapped up.

Anyways, thought y'all would dig this. Cuz ya sure won't ever find photos like this from anyone else πŸ˜€πŸ€™πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Here's photos of yesterday's '78 Plymouth Volare reel. They were taken yesterday afternoon. Dad helped me move car up near the garage, rope tow style. Now I am within reach of power/water to properly clean it up inside and out. I'm excited with the progress. I'm gonna lower the back 2"-3" and the front another inch as well so it looks just right. I'm open to any style ideas too, mild or wild. I'll be doing some paint work, so not against crazy ideas too. πŸ€ πŸ€™πŸ˜

Decades worth of previous vehicle and junkyard found keys. Super helpful for when I don't have keys to stuff like my Super Coupe Volare; or to Matt's Hornet hatch. I also can often find a retro condition copy for stuff I don't want a freshie. Of course it's organized well, and in pink 😁

Yesterday I found some time to work on my '78 Hilux a little bit. I changed the tires holding the bed up, and it should be ready to install this week. I bobbed the longbed 19" shorter. For looks, but mostly so that I can load engines and heavy loads directly over the axle with the reach a hoist usually has. I can also now lift the bed evenly with an X of ratchet straps. Previously it had too much rear length for both tasks. I also added a little spoiler I will sheet metal up, ive wanted to see how I like the stat for a few months before I skinned it. Hope y'all like minitrucks as much as me. I've been trying to get all my rigs going again, it's a lot of work though.

Thanks for the love y'all.

Last night the sunset was amazing. I had to run inside and find a sweet vintage Hot Wheel to accent it. I think this pearly white 90s street rod is a great pick. Classic smoothie bare bones styling with some wicked cool body mods. Mostly though, I was enjoying the colors of the sky. And I love my bear daily tiny car photo posts. I hope you do too.

Today felt like a neon roadster day. Here's a couple of my favorites from the 90s. A neon yellow AC Cobra, and a neon pink Corvette. Both are Hot Wheels brand 1:64 scale. Who else had these as a kid? They came in lots of other colors too.
