Hot Wheels Ranger Raptor

[NVHoonigan]

Back from paint..

I hadn't decided yet if I wanted to add in the extra detail like the red taillights, side badging, blue oval, etc. and you have definitely convinced me it is needed! Back to the project table for mine!

Or you could paint and mod yours to look like his toy . If you have trouble finding more, I have one to spare.

His mom, AKA the CFO, might take issue, but I'd sure be willing to mod up! Thanks for the offer and I may take you up if another does not turn up locally!

Edit: Found another one a the dollar store tonight! Now to find a saber paint match - dont think I'll geek out for exact match.

All lined up and ready for paint

and can we stop to appreciate the level of detail that hot wheels put into the side vents here...

It's a blurry pic I know but you can still see the vent.

So are you selling these? If so I'm in assuming the price is reasonable.

I'm keeping two or three. One for myself, one for my son. Then I just got figure out a price point. Still got a bit to go. They should get their color sprayed on today.

Paint match is pretty close. I was worried at first because the color sprayed out like saber in the first few coats. Getting me excited about putting these back together.

I loved playing with hot wheels as a kid.

Aight..all 6 are done..painted with the "sports package FX4 (should have mixed some black with some silver to makes the fenders and bumpers stand out some more but oh well). 3 have a " sprayed in bed liner". One has said me suspension work done lol (got to reposition the wheels). Still got to glue the together and glue the bash plate on the lifted truck. Also need to fan something to hide the factory defected window that is currently on the lifted truck.
This was a fun project though. I haven't done anything that required detail work in years. Got to decide which ones I want as my son is getting one and I am keeping one or two. The others will probably be sold once I figure a price. Anyway here they are. Enjoy. Oh, and ignore all the crap in the background..LOL

I went to every WalMart within 30mile radius and none of them had the Raptor.

First Dollar Store I went to had two of them.
Both of them are in the paint shop.
