Description Most of these were customs of some Hot Wheels cars from a while back which were never finished due to lacking of proper parts.

The only custom that was finished out of this lot was the gold colored Super Tsunami turned into like a sort of banged up interceptor vehicle based of the Drifting Saber Car concept I have.

From top to bottom:

Super Tsunami " DS Interceptor" - One of my older cars in my Hot Wheels collection,this custom originally started out as just an attempt to give the car more aerodynamics,like adding an extended lip under the front bumper and adding a lower wing on the existing rear wing. But over time I added more to it and removed the rear window to fit a make shift engine (not the one scene in the picture) and gave it a different wing set up and glued on some more bits like those tiny gold turbos on the hood of the car and painted the mid section black. In its third set up I added more to the make shift engine bay and glued on some wider arches and some wheels to the existing wheels to make the car look wide. However, the car suffered a fall off my shelf since somebody cleaned my room while I was gone dislocating and breaking the parts I stuck on it. Furious, I abandoned the car and just salvaged parts of it for other possible customs. The car eventually saw the light of day last year where I did what I originally had planned for it. I got rid of the parts I glued, filed down the paint in some areas and purposely scratched bits of it to make it look worn , drew some decals on it with a permanent marker and removed the back interior of it so that I could shove the massive V8 engine piece I took from another car. Finally very recently, I gave it new wheels, a make shift gas tank on the passenger seat and a wire mesh window for protection. My main inspiration of this was a Mad Max like vehicle in the style of Mad Max 2's Rogue Police.


1970 Dodge Charger " RAM Racer 4x4 " - Sort of a mix between a demolition derby car,race car and off-road vehicle. This is one of the unfinished cars as a few bits are needed to complete it. I had to file down the front wheel arch to fir the big wheels that was going in there. The front was originally gonna be wire mesh but when I tried it, it looked weird since the mesh I used was flimsy and had medium sized holes in it. So I took the wing of a R34 GTR and glued in place so that it becomes this sort of "RAM" bar. Interior wise I made a roll cage out of a piece of plastic and a bent paper clip and gave the rear window some wire mesh. The numbers,lettering and black bits of the body were done using a permanent marker.


Twin Duction " Nitroceptor " - More of a rebuild of another custom that had gotten destroyed. This is unfinished as I lack the proper parts for the needed upgrades. The car is a version 2 of another custom that was destroyed for parts. The same car was taken a little too far on the modifying aspect that the car became "overkill" and went far from what I had originally planned for it. So the original car was scrapped for parts (plus like the DS Interceptor above, it fell off the shelf) I started fresh with the extra I had of the same car. The only mods I've done so far was remove the crappy looking engine and put in an engine similar to the one seen in the DS Interceptor, glued on a wire mesh grill up front and colored it in with a permanent marker, and remove the rear window so I could put a gas tank there later on along with some other upgrades.


1970 Dodge Charger " No Name " - Unfinished and lacking many parts, this is going to be a V8 Interceptor vehicle in the style of the Ford Falcon driven by max in Mad Max 2. Things I've to it are that I removed the front grill and rear lights, removed the trunk area to make room for future upgrades, removed the windows, added interior bits such as a divider wall for the fuel tanks and to make a make shift roll cage, swapped the wheels out, and put a busted old Ethernet cable plug at the back as a template for the position of the future tanks that are gonna be there.


I still have a bunch more wips customs if anyone wants to see. I'll try digging them out if ever.


On a side note those stock cars you see in the background for this pic are also wip customs but they need to be worn down more for me to do stuff with them. That white Seared Tuner on the picture too is another wip custom. Which is eventually going to be turned into this stolen and modified Pizza delivery car.
