  2. Looking at the choices down at The AutoBook store in Burbank I was left with the impression that nobody's interrested in producing a truly accurate scale hot rot out of die-cast. I built a really nice '29 roadster found at Hobby Lobby (Company name escapes me) other than no choice in wheels, it's spot on.
    I'ma details freak; this '32 seems worth a closer look.
    Thanks.

    Who makes those? I am guessing GMP for Pure Hell, was it Hot Wheels that did the Hirohata? But the other two I don't recall seeing before, I do like that T.

    I don't know about being "ripped off", seems to be a traditional style that I have seen tons of people copy and emulate features of. I am sure if it is accurate to an existing car they got the releases, etc first.
    I would be honored if a company decided my car was fitting to make a model of.:D

    I'm not into die cast, some cool stuff out there. If you want a car the way you think it should be, build it yourself. Plastic models are way cheap and you get the satisfaction of making something cool.
    Hell even scratch build something larger, thats what I like to do.
