What do you love about customizing diecast cars?

I love creating something wild. Something that you would see at a car show, but mini. I like putting fresh wheels, a nice stance, and some killer paint, on an otherwise kind of boring toy car.

How did you get into customizing?

I’ve always wanted to customize everything.

Why should others get into it?

For me, it keeps my mind busy. It helps me to think about something other than a normally stressful life. When im finished with a car, i get a sense of accomplishment. It just drives me to make something cooler, or crazier next time.

Where do you show off your customs?

Mostly instagram @deathtrapdiehard

and facebook groups

What are a few customs you are proud of?

Im pretty proud of my 56 chevy panel dragster, and my ratrods. But, i like about everything i make.

Is there anyone you would like to thank for being part of your diecast customizing journey?

I’d give my wife the thanks for putting up with me playing with toys, and making a mess. She helped me start my instagram page as well, so, I’d say she’s my biggest supporter.
