Custom Pinball Themed Hotwheels car....BBB Themed

Well I have a couple of hobbies, pinball being one of theme, but another is collecting Hotwheels . I have collected since I was about 10. Along the way I have met some really cool guys...In the Hotwheel world, we also have conventions, do some trading, have a forum...and some of the really talented guys like here do some one offs, and mod hotwheels. They even have contest for these. I have a friend that I have met through the community that is one of these custom guys. He has created some really cool cars, plus he makes them so well, you would think they are made by Mattel. He wraps and airbrushes these little cars and also changes their wheels to rubber (instead of plastic) and then he creates his own packaging...(Card and blister). We was shooting the breese the other night and he said he was looking for some new style art work....so me being a pinhead suggested that pinball has some of the most awesome artwork in the world....I have always thought Big Bang Bar was a beautiful game....So here are his results. There is artwork on the back side also with a little clear window so you can see both sides..Let me know what you think

That is really cool. What does he charge to do something like that? I need to sell my Redlines but I dread taking all those pics.

Thanks LLoyd...you think Jack might have a need for a WOZ Hotwheel for his office...My guy is pretty unlimited on what he can make with these.. if the artwork exsist, like all of our custom play cards...then he can make a decal out of it.....the pics do it no justice...

He'd likely get a kick out of it.

Lots of WOZ stuff on his desk.

I think it really depends on what you want...He hasn't really ever sold anything, just done them for other hotwheel guys or covention contest...Some of the customs at the conventions though go for over a hundred bucks...Kinda high for a hotwheel but when you think about all the time and effort and cool factor to have a one off little car to match you favorite machine...its not so bad...plus the little car he uses isn't just a one buck car..they are usually a popular casting that bring 10 to 25 bucks just as a standard hotwheel....but honestly we never discussed price or even selling them...I was just so blown away by some of his pics he sent me tonight I though you guys needed to see them. If you wanted something like that I could ask...he has all different types of hotwheel castings, tire types....plus he likes doing them...He is a really highly respected member on the hotwheel board

Very nice how much I have a bunch of rare VW bus ones still packaged would mind opening one of the plain hot wheels ones to do a cool wrap.

Cool, I collected Hot Wheels since about 1977. I've got them from 68 to about 08. I quit when I stepped back and thought "Man, what am I gonna do with all these?", LOL. I'd like to get rid of everything but the cars from the first 20-25 years of production.

I talked to Jake, If anybody wants more details on a title they would like...PM me....please remember they are one off, custom carded and shipped in a plastic protector. they take about a week to complete as long as he isn't over welmed....I will put you guys in touch directly with him, you pay him and it ships from him...Jake is a great guy and does some really neat work...he is not just limited to pinball...if the art exist, he can do it...he can also picture text you the car and card in progress
they are not cheap but really cool.

Wow the price is a bit high for me, but I could see it in the work it takes I mean me messing with demensions for my models is hassle enough to charge a 20 dollar agravation fee haha. Id like a TZ wrap but id have to wait till I'm more finicialy stable. If anyone gets a TZ please post here.

:Note there isn't actually a 20 dollar agravation fee that was just a thought lol.

Now that is sick ask him if he could do a muscle machine car by matio or whatever it is? I have a ton and there much cooler with the cartoony feel bid daddy Roth style. Metallica would look cool with one of those big blower cars jacked up in the back with wide tires.

I'm digging the VW Metallica bus in the background I have a bunch of those buses that's what I was thinking for TZ or a panel wagon truck from muscle machines. He should do Metallica with muscle machines has that cartoon feel of Big Daddy Ed Roth and even dirty Donny, jacked up rear ends, fat drag tires skinny in front and big blowers that's what I was thinking for a TZ if I get it too. Does he show the art work before what ever stage he does to print and wrap on the image like to make sure you get an important part of image on it. I'm guessing he's really food by the Metallica I just saw.
Thinking about this now I'd like a real car done like this with pinball artwork on it.
