Matchbox toys

[TRAMPLINEMAN]

My son has hundreds of Matchbox cars/trucks that he plays with nonstop. I get home from work today and he says, "Dad, I have the best idea ever". His idea involved dismantling one of them, borrowing parts and glueing them to another. I must admit, for a five year old, this was a good idea. Here's the final product, it's the Dodge, he just had to have the others in the pic too.

nice looking truck, time to update the signature

Have you dyno'ed it yet? What are the rear wheel numbers? What size injectors does it have?

 

[OKish]

uh oh! why does it look like it has a v10 or a v8 decal on it???

 

[TRAMPLINEMAN]

It had V10 on the door but I scratched it off with a knife. No dyno numbers yet, stacks are the only upgrade as of now.

12v or 24v?

I'd be impressed even if it was your idea. (so do you really have a 5 year old? )

BOMBed Matchbox trucks. Oo. Ive seen it all now.

Actually, I did think of it about a year ago, but I wasn't going to ruin my sons toy. I never told him about it he just thought of the same idea on his own.



12V, of course!

12v or 24v?

If I'm not mistaken he told me he had a 24 valve under the hood driving the front wheels and a 12 valve in the bed driving the rear wheels. Taking it to the pulls this weekend. :-laf
