    The official die-cast mod thread.

    So i got mine today from a creepy collector guy that i met rummaging toys r us isles for his collections. So let the mods begin!!!!


    I wasn't home 20 minutes and i did the tire swap made famous by (oops i forgot now, but big thanks to him!)

    So anyways i am now sporting the challenger bigger rims and better tires (looks the way it should now) and while i was doing the axle swap i cut down the original wheel bearings and reinstalled them.

    I'm still on the hunt for a triligy and possibly a hood scoop close to the one on my big boy car.

    So for now its:

    1.Bigger wheels w/ lowerer profile tires
    2. custom wheel bearings


    Anyone know a good tinter?

    I have mine COMPLETELY apart. I have some gentle taping of the headlights and grille and license plate. Then some airbrushing with some CORRECT silver birch. Then some light flint interior (still waiting for the paint I ordered 6 months ago - any day now) and I have to lower the front a little. Then paint the chassis with aluminum and black trim. It's so teenie-tiny.

    Casey, this collector told me that "in his underground trading" (told you he was creepy!!!!) that the greens are starting to pull $40.00 in the last week alone. But so far there is zero interest of the blacks.
