  • More “Maybe I’ve Shown These Before But Need To Post Them Before I Delete The Pics From My Phone” Pics

    What the title says 🙂

  • New Camera Lens

    Finally able to take some better pictures. Bought one of those generic macro lens for my iPhone and surprisingly. It works pretty well. All tuned the light box a little better. Some of these are newer customs. Don’t remember which ones I’ve shown here before.

  • Western Themed Torino.

    This type of design is what I’m mostly doing these days. This one was more influenced by work (OSU) more so than anything artistic.

  • Don’t Drive A Torino On A Dirt Road,

    I really like the diorama shown in these pics more so than the car. I don’t usually use aging pigments or try to make my customs look old or worn. I’ve never figured out how to seal the pigment dust without making the dust look lousy or darker. I’m sure there is a way to…

  • A Quartet of Randomness.

    Some prices I don’t think I’ve shown here before. These all have in common that they were experiments, early in my custom making journey. For a long time, I didn’t have any way of making decals or water slide transfers that were complicated or wrapped the entire casting. I’ve since found ways to make white…

  • OSUIT Holiday Car

    I’ve mentioned before that I make personalized customs for friends and coworkers for Christmas. I also make an edition for the campus, usually 6-10 prices in the edition, and usually these cars are focused on the years events and happening at the campus. I work at a satellite campus of Oklahoma State University, if I…

  • Cheetah, Fire, Sponsor…Just Add More, More

    Sometimes you just have to add more…more to a project to get it just right. I think this one was a combination of all the leftover tampons, paint and decals form a weeks worth of projects. All that and I didn’t even cover the roof!

  • Sunny King Ford, Number 27. At Least I Remember It That Way

    I think this was made for a contest, I think it was based on a real car, but I recognize that flame mask on the side as one of my templates. Well, I like how it turned out whatever its origin. The diorama in the background is made from discarded cars that I ripped the…

  • Prototypes Are Finally Here!

    Come with cards, digital chip that links to this site, a cool little diorama base and a little kickstand to display the unit correctly. My kickstands got left behind when I took these pics, so ignore that little piece of green paper. Also on the back is a short description of the design inspiration for…

  • Top Five

    This Torino was made a looming time ago, probably 7-8 years ago. It was one of the first successes I had making custom HotWheels. I made the flame masks out of vinyl (one of the first cars I made using masks). The interior was all customized as well, with roll bars and seats scavenged from…
