Default Diecast "replica" of my car

I don't know if he is going to post photos on TC but wanted to share a project that I have been....funding and supplying parts toward....

Anyway, I noticed a post on TC a few months back about a die-cast that was created for a guys uncle to replicate his actual car. Well I contacted him to see if he had any interest in doing something similar for my car, not expecting much interest but fortunately he was willing!

I purchased a used Lane die-cast on eBay along with some special ordered Forest Green paint in color/clear from Automotive touch up.

This thing just shipped this morning but from the photos, I am super excited!! I am not an avid die-cast collector but do have a couple higher-end Chevelle models (Franklin Mint, Lane, etc.) I knew there would likely never be a model that closely resembled my car so I jumped at the opportunity to have Kevin make me one!!

Without further adieu, pictures of the project!

This is what I purchased to start the project


Which was quickly sacrificed for the better good!
