Custom Hot wheels VW Drag bus
This was my first custom Drag bus. I actually won 3rd in a contest on Diecast Nutz with it in the custom category. A lot was done to this bus from it's original condition. Fist the body was sanded and filed of all casting lines . Polished with steel wool to a high shine. Then it had a base coat of transparent lavender sprayed over the polished bare metal and then a light coat of Pearl purple and a little Pearl blue misted in. Custom airbrushed flames were added using KB'S Flame masks and iridescent yellow and iridescent lime green. Details like head lights and tail lights were added. The chassis was taken apart and the engine and tail pipe were painted with Alclad chrome. The roll cage was painted in Pearl purple to patch the body. The seat was detailed in black along with the dash and guages were added for realism. Real riders were added to the front . The side pipes and fuel tank straps were also detailed. The drag chute was also painted and detailed.
