Custom Hot Wheels

I’ve been messing around with the idea of getting more into custom Hot Wheels. I’ve built MANY 1:24 and 1:25 scale plastic models in the past years. I’ve attempted custom Hot Wheels in the past but they really never amounted to anything more than a wheel swap, tampo removal, or simple paint job.

I bought an airbrush and compressor back late 2007 with custom Hot Wheels in mind but I never used it. Earlier last month, I pulled it out of the closet and started messing around. It has certainly been a learning experience to date but has been a ton of fun. I’m trying to keep the hobby alive and both of my kids have been learning as well.

I have decided to start an entirely new website for my custom work. Please be sure to check out Brew City Customs.

Custom Hot Wheels Volkswagen Kool Kombi #1

Kombi #1 began as the red 2014 HW Workshop release. The rear spoiler was removed and faux fabric was added to the top. Kombi #1 is NOT for sale as my wife has already claimed it. 🙂

 

Custom Hot Wheels Volkswagen Kool Kombi #2

Kombi #2 started out as the red 2014 HW Workshop release as well. For this custom, I removed the ‘pleated’ roof and spoiler and modified the stock wheels to look somewhat like steelies.

 

Custom Hot Wheels Volkswagen Kool Kombi #3

Kombi #3 had the ‘pleated’ roof and spoiler removed. Similar to #2, the stock wheels were modified to look somewhat like steelies.
