My Hotwheels Stepsides.
So....I'm still a kid. I made this yellow one 4 years ago....BEFORE I bought the real thing. There's also some more pics of of SNB trucks. Most are still projects, but YES these are hot wheels, and YES I'm still six, and yes I love hot wheels. Thought I'd share.

Re: My Hotwheels Stepsides.
As a Hot Wheels collector myself, i really like those. I have several of the chevy stepsides HW's. Every time tey come out with a new color or even change the wheels, I buy it.
Very fun, cheap hobby. Jason |

Re: My Hotwheels Stepsides.
Man I have been a collector now for 20 years worth of them. My wife hates those things, but I love everyone of them. I did these up this summer.
I have all kinds of them.

Re: My Hotwheels Stepsides.
There are two more of the jada one. A yellow and white 2 tone a a black one with flames.
Heres one made by Marx. I also have a small plastic one and have no idea who made it. I found it at an antique shop. Then there is the Bell Systems one from Ertl. Unique, it has a GMC grill and a Chevrolet tailgate. HG

Re: My Hotwheels Stepsides.
I thought that looked custom. I might do the same to one of mine.

Re: My Hotwheels Stepsides.
Here is a couple of my 1/24 Dub City trucks by Jada modified by ACF. This first one is my best one I think.
The bed is made out of bossawood and I used the side trim for the bed rails on it. I hand made the simulators on it to to match my real truck. ![]() ![]() ![]() This is my everyday driver. I have had it since 1986 and put the TPI in it in 1987.I have the LED's brake lights also. ![]() This is a diecast and plastic model put together to make the step side bed. The diecast bed is the trailer. Hand made the surf-boards out of real wood. ![]() ![]() These pictures where taken as I was working on it, and I haven't taken anymore of it since I got done with it. How do you like those meats under there! The panel isn't a Jada. ![]()
