Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale<p>That is a phrase that gets thrown around a lot on the car world.. the most beautiful automobile... Everyone knows how Enzo Ferrari called the Jaguar E Type the most beautiful car he'd ever seen, and certainly most car enthusiasts have their own opinions on the matter. </p><p>However, I would put the Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale down as the most beautiful.. Just look at it! Every curve is so careful and delicate, but exudes such a powerful stance. It's a truly tiny little car, but you'd never know it by looking at photos. To me, it looks larger than life, one of those cars that just eliminates time completely, it looks as fresh now as it did when it was first shown in 1967. Alfa Romeo only made 18 examples of it, a road-going version of the Tipo 33 sports prototype race car. </p><p>I had the pleasure of seeing one of those 18 in person at the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance back in 2017. It was as close as I've ever come to a religious experience, it is just too stunning to put into words!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH1XBs2HlK7TQM_tWmUPNgnbKyGPixRi3wacE6s_3K_xNpXvP5Yd6-Cis8eWGazpl_JzlrCRd41FA0R3ZIKGmEC7exsOT10P_oYyx3sisoEnPFpqqM2af5J-R7gSm-bXxo20k4NLUbFjNS/s2048/IMG_4115.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH1XBs2HlK7TQM_tWmUPNgnbKyGPixRi3wacE6s_3K_xNpXvP5Yd6-Cis8eWGazpl_JzlrCRd41FA0R3ZIKGmEC7exsOT10P_oYyx3sisoEnPFpqqM2af5J-R7gSm-bXxo20k4NLUbFjNS/w400-h300/IMG_4115.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuDwH1Fz03OmEli215JTiJ2dRrYoeDAcmMaKLjs8IGCl9qWF2sWA-Z4k6m8v2aQBebogsn-lLL-CgFz5zGQ6H50vkmErplMsq7t3jE2LKucu8Yv6LHHA9Nz7FL_x5yaAZCu_9wq4eeEzwI/s2048/IMG_4117.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuDwH1Fz03OmEli215JTiJ2dRrYoeDAcmMaKLjs8IGCl9qWF2sWA-Z4k6m8v2aQBebogsn-lLL-CgFz5zGQ6H50vkmErplMsq7t3jE2LKucu8Yv6LHHA9Nz7FL_x5yaAZCu_9wq4eeEzwI/w400-h300/IMG_4117.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlOIcZ0jB4gDyiHfSI_3f2bxjg1A_lvePhyphenhyphenAhIhtTjCCWiDplfsUc1xPHHD82SerdvmB2UYUvEvHxHyrBwD2QOea8ODj_sGgUY1LfF3Dwu6G0c4owpWIG_h8htjA88EP-IUUZiUEsdLjh4/s2048/IMG_4119.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlOIcZ0jB4gDyiHfSI_3f2bxjg1A_lvePhyphenhyphenAhIhtTjCCWiDplfsUc1xPHHD82SerdvmB2UYUvEvHxHyrBwD2QOea8ODj_sGgUY1LfF3Dwu6G0c4owpWIG_h8htjA88EP-IUUZiUEsdLjh4/w400-h300/IMG_4119.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuONHRkyR-7DBXysG8qmSbpUa3XtLbXEvZFC4b-NzDg2ALRsmUSafKVWi4i42hl2JPucGjljQzUB0jXXTEWiCzpehJeYHS8J04kJIpCVK8WV8dGsmYMkm6-U4JLcHnIw8dmIq-2GOdrqsa/s2048/IMG_4120.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuONHRkyR-7DBXysG8qmSbpUa3XtLbXEvZFC4b-NzDg2ALRsmUSafKVWi4i42hl2JPucGjljQzUB0jXXTEWiCzpehJeYHS8J04kJIpCVK8WV8dGsmYMkm6-U4JLcHnIw8dmIq-2GOdrqsa/w400-h300/IMG_4120.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>And how lucky we are now that Hot Wheels has decided to produce a 1/64 version!

Perfect stance, wheel choice, detailing.. the designers at Mattel really nailed it. Certainly one of the best models of the year. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhweG7IjU0HJPVp3eogV_puE05qF_a2pyXpH0v_QDSIXHCaqwUrNcdgKnfshluJWoOuWjN9OULVnIy3itniR8woACzsFYA8dnOEWLE8tvuMhbzQez_l5iG6c1GjoStyuzNl9JoZdsqYAZYB/s2048/Photo_Sep_26%252C_10_11_47_AM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

But here's a nice Matchbox Tahoe that got a repaint and a wheel swap. I've always liked this casting for some reason.<br />

I love the JDM kick that HW is on lately, some really top notch models coming out. I'm trying to slowly stray away from mainlines, but some of these new castings are just too good to pass up in any form, the Mazda REPU included.<br />

I've been lucky enough to see a couple in person, and trust me they are absolutely breathtaking cars. Hot Wheels did a version of it, and it's only been used a handful of times.<br />
I decided to try out my favorite color combo of grey and red on it, and man did it turn out nice!<br />

I've always been a fan of vintage Jags, and the boys in orange just got this one right in my opinion. Perfect proportions, detailing, and overall look. I have every standard release of this casting, and enjoy making customs too! I thought this nice metallic bronze over black interior suited the classy understated look of the Jag.<br />

I've been utilizing my day off to do some painting!! Lots more to come I now have about 25 cars painted and waiting for detailing haha. I'm hoping to get about that many more done to keep me busy over the winter when I can't paint :)<br />
<br />
First is another Datsun, the recently released Hot Wheels Fairlady 2000 casting. I really like this one, and was anxious to see how it looked without any racing liveries, just clean. And I like the result!<br />

It's one of my favorites, I have every version released so far in my collection.<br />
<br />
Nothing too crazy with this custom, just a repaint and a wheel swap. I think it came out pretty well!<br />

These have been my favorite BMW model for as long as I can remember. They are just the ideal car to me, elegant styling, great performance and just an overall classiness that modern cars can't touch.<br />

HW has done nothing but racing spec ones so far, and they've made some very nice ones... But I decided to see what I could do with a street version.. And I am absolutely thrilled with how it came out. </div>

I've done a Range Rover like this before, but I sold it a while back. And one can never have too many fine old British cars in one's collection!<br />
<br />
The Range Rover Classic is one of those vehicles that is just cool. Maybe not the most reliable thing in the world, but undeniably cool! I'd love to have one.<br />

Sure, they're striking to look at and absolute technological marvels. But to me, the classics have, and always be where my passion lies. I like simple, restrained, and elegant styling paired with a classy refined interior, a manual gearbox and a gloious sounding engine. That's all I need in a car. Ferrari has moved on a bit from that haha. Which is ok, as they're certainly selling more cars than ever!<br />
<br />
A lot of old school Ferrari enthusiasts consider the F40 to be the last "real" Ferrari, since it was the last car that Enzo himself personally oversaw the development of. I like that sentiment, but I go a little bit farther and include the gorgeous 355 and 550 in that list of "real" Ferraris. Which then brings us to the feature car, this 599 by Hot Wheels. It's not my favorite Ferrari of all time, I still prefer the 550 to it. But what makes this car special and included on the "real" list, is the fact that it was the last Ferrari to have a 6-speed gated manual option. What a crying shame you can't get that anymore!!<br />
<br />
I like how this custom turned out, I have always felt that the 599 looks amazing in dark metallic blue. What do you think?<br />

The Saviero Cross is a perfect example of that. Basically a cut down version of the 2 door "Gol" (which itself is a reworked Polo), it has proved to be an incredibly popular vehicle in Brazil. It is priced right around the $20k mark, which I find to be quite reasonable. Who knows, with the popularity of small pickups taking off again here in the States, VW might be able to shift a fair few of these here!<br />
<br />
The Matchbox version made its debut in the 2011 mainline, part of the "modern golden age" that Matchbox collectors like to talk about these days. It hasn't been used a lot really, just a handful of times in the mainline and in a few multipacks. This is one of those castings that is quite nice and realistic, but always seems to come to the pegs completely overdone with crazy graphics and colors that cover up the nice model underneath.<br />
<br />
So as usual, I decided to take one of those "loud" models, and quiet it down a bit. I think it pulls off the maroon with white wheels well! Drop a line in the comments and let me know what you think.<br />

When it was on the air I was a complete mega fan, and still am. It was one of the most brilliantly written and directed shows I've ever seen. Those of you that haven't seen it should check it out. I know the subject matter put a lot of people off, but there really is so much more to it than drugs!<br />
<br />
Anyways, a cool aspect of the show to me was always the vehicle selection. Whoever was in charge of that must've been a real car guy, because all the vehicles used by the characters fit them so well. As the characters changed throughout the series, their vehicles changed too and the selections were just brilliant.<br />
<br />
So I've been trying to collect as many of those show vehicles as I can. This is the 3rd one that I have.<br />
<br />
Jessie Pinkman was one of the main characters. Walt's partner in the drug business, and he had two main rides throughout the series. The first one was a mid-80s Chevy Monte Carlo lowrider, which Greenlight produced earlier this year. After a couple seasons, it was involved in a shootout, and I believe it was taken by the police. Then, Jesse bought this delightful red Toyota Tercel 4WD wagon. He simply seized an opportunity to get a cheap car when he needed one, but somehow the car fits him so well. So I bought an orange Majorette version and painted it red to match! Here's the 1:1..<br />

I came across a strange listing for a mint condition green 300SE body and windows, minus the interior and chassis! Only 99 cents, so I bought it. The plan was to turn it into what you see here, a one of none transitional!<br />
Only problem was, the gold super fast version isn't always the easiest model to find, and my parts supply didn't include a good condition chassis.. So I have waited almost a year to find a good donor car on eBay, and I finally got one! So here it is:<br />

<br />
Ever since I was a little kid, I've been a fan of air-cooled VWs. Not a fanatic by any means, but I have always held that a true car enthusiast will always smile a bit when they see an old Bug drive by, and I definitely fall into that category!<br />
<br />
But I absolutely love how this one turned out, the Matchbox 62 Beetle is my favorite VW casting anyway, and this one is just about perfect in my eyes. Exactly how I'd have a real one. Black over white interior with white walls. I tried a new technique with the wheels that I'm pretty happy with! A simple white paint pen on the regular Matchbox disc wheels. Not perfect, but it makes for a nice effect.<br />

I've been after one of these for a while, and received two into the collection recently! A bi RAOK on one of the diecast forums included one, and now this fresh restoration project.<br />

I tried my best to match the original tan this one came in, knowing that there were several variations on the shade. Not having a real one to compare to, I have no idea how close this tan is. But I like it regardless!<br />

Even as a little kid I was that way, one of my favorite cars being the old Matchbox Ford Mondeo casting. Of course, I have my fair share of Ferraris and Lamborghinis and such, but I have always enjoyed those "boring" cars.<br />
<br />
And today's custom doesn't get any more boring than an Isuzu Amigo haha. I found it in a flea market scrap heap and gave it a simple repaint. It turned out pretty cool!<br />

<br />
I like HW muscle car castings, but they're generally a bit too hot-rodded for my taste. So I like to go back and change that occasionally. This is a 1969 Chevelle that I think came out very nice.<br />
