Hot Wheels
04 First Edition!!!
64 IMPALA!!!!
This is a 1/64 scale casting.

I can't stress this enough, these pics
ABSOLUTELY do not do this KILLER piece justice!!



This is one killer Fade!!! It really looks great....and if you saw this one at the Irvine show, I think you will agree...if not....well, just wait until you are holding it in your hand!!!!!!!!


No outside mods to the body, but, it was a little involved on the inside and interior to get this one lowered as much as possible!!

As for the rollers....I chose a set of 5 spoke Dub City wheels and Stainless Steel tubing was used for axle sleeves both in front and back. These axles were then meticulously LEVELED so that all four tires touch the surface at the SAME TIME!!!!
Plus....it rolls GREAT!!!!!!!


The paint is ALL AIRBRUSHED (as with all my kustoms) PPG and House Of Color AUTOMOTIVE paint, plus, Alclad Chrome lacquer.

I started with a super smooth automotive grade primer and this was sanded and reprimed twice!! Then I used Jet Black Urethane for the base color!!!
I did TWO LAYERS of Flames with Alclad Chrome, each followed by the KILLER CANDY FADE!!! Candy Pagan Gold to Tangerine to Purple!!! Light sanding was done after each candy coat was dry, then the body was "dusted" with Alclad Chrome and finally, two more coats of HOK Candy color fade!!!!
Finally, Clear was shot on in THREE coats...sanding with 1500 grit two times in the process which makes the finish WAY SMOOTH!!!
