Customizing (aka tweaking the heck out of) Hot Wheels and other diecast cars. No car is safe from anything from a wheel swap to being chopped up and made into something completely different.

A few minutes ago, I decided to add Overkill to the stuff I'm selling on eBay. You may recall the video of this being made not all that long ago :) Here's a link to the auction...

Don’t laugh - I had a coupon 🤣. It’s time for me to sell off some stuff, including my customs that have just been accumulating here. Anyone that’s received a shipment from me knows I love my bubble wrap 🤣

Sometimes it takes two to make one. Restoration…probably for the first one (I needed the wheels from two to have enough for one lol).

Through a combination of my build videos, short videos (including Tips and COOL or NOT video/giveaways), the Challenges, and far too few live streams lol, I finally reached two of my long term goals for the Channel over the same weekend. I reached 50,000 subscribers and 1.5 million views...and I have all of you to thank for this. Thanks to you for watching, commenting, sharing and hyping the videos (and for tolerating me in general lol), we finally got to these numbers. Thank you! Thank you so very much!

In the past year or so, I came across four of the Hot Wheels Factory chassis (three long chassis, one short) and thought they were pretty cool. Jim over at ‪@DT99race‬ made a video about the 1970 Hot Wheels Factory machine about five years ago -- check it out if you've never seen it. Damn we had great toys back then before everyone tried to protect us from ourselves lol
