Hot Wheels
VW DRAG BUS!!!!
This is a 1/64 scale casting.
These pics are pretty good, but, I can't stress this enough,
they ABSOLUTELY do not do this KILLER piece justice!!



This Bus IS FREAKIN' COOL!!!!!!
The flames are AMAZING!!!
One angle, all that you see is the Chroma Flames....
which may be gold, orange or purple.....
And just a slight change in light or angle
will reveal Multiple Layers of REVERSED Candy Flames!!!!!!

Look at the pics and you will get an idea of what I am talking about, but, in person....you will be amazed at what you see!!!!!






The Chassis is pretty much stock other than several details and the addition of the front skinnies!! I did have to narrow the front of the chassis for these wheels though.
The engine and exhaust have been polished...black details to the blower, scoop opening, blower drive belt, exhaust tip, and both tanks...candy red accents the blower pullys...high metallic silver accents the roll cage, seat, and steering wheel....and the rear wheels have been given the Alclad Chrome look!!!!


The paint is ALL AIRBRUSHED (as with all my kustoms) PPG and House Of Color AUTOMOTIVE paint, plus, Alclad Chrome lacquer.
And I want to emphasize AGAIN that these pics do
ABSOLUTELY NO JUSTICE to the way this
paint REALLY LOOKS!!!!!!

I started with a super smooth Urethane WHITE base color, I then added REVERSED Flames in BLACK over the mid to rear portions of the top and sides, followed with a "dusting" PEARL Flake over the entire body!!!
Then a FADE of Candy Gold, Tangerine, to Brandywine was done from nose to tail with in three coats AND I added another Layer of Positive Flames between the first and second coats!!!!!!!
CHROMALUSION Gold to Magenta FLAMES were then applied and the nose was coated heavily!!!

THIS makes for a SPECTACULAR Sparkle and color change as well as making the layers of flames to be visible at DIFFERENT lights and angles....
THUS...the "Now Ya See Em...Now Ya DONT" theory!!!

Finally, Clear was shot on in FOUR coats making the finish WAY SMOOTH!!!! This is SO INCREDIBLY KOOL that words fail to describe what your eyes actually see in person!!!
NO KIDDING...... The Pics just dont do it justice AT ALL!!!!!!
