Thank you to everyone who has reached out in support, as well as all those who placed an order. It has been humbling. All but two orders have shipped or are ready to ship tomorrow. I didn’t notice the two orders until I was updating the status on the orders I packed this morning. I’ll get those tomorrow, my brain is fried from today. Just a note that when I run out of something it will be a long time before I can do any restock runs. Thanks to everyone again. https://www.instagram.com/p/BposL2VAJd4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18i57iu8zd5is

It’s Mustang Monday, so here’s one sitting on a set of Type 8 Steelie Inserts. Part #dm218 I didn’t use the airbrush this time and hit them with some random Spray Paint I had in the cabinet. These are available now Http://www.dirtmodeler.com/s #hotwheelscollector #hotwheels #hotwheelscustom #customhotwheels #customdiecast #hotwheels #hotwheelspics

Introducing Type 6 Steelie Inserts. Part #dm216 . I realized I had missed these during the first photo sessions and never had them added to the cart. I have them painted with Metallizer Magnesium, and added a Brake Rotor Kit. I like how they look with the Mustang GT. #hotwheels #customhotwheels #customdiecast #hotwheelscustoms #matchboxcustoms #hotwheelspics #hotwheelsaddict Sorry for the double post, the galley post never seem to work correctly.

Happy Friday everyone. I picked up this Cadillac Elmiraj after work last night and thought it would go well with the Type 13 Steelie Inserts, Part #dm223 I then added some wheel knockoffs part #dm228 . I like how they all look together, I think they would look better in gold! Time to get out the paint! . . #customhotwheels #customdiecast #hotwheelscustoms #hotwheelspics #hotwheelscustom #hotwheels #matchbox #matchboxcustoms #cadillac #elmiraj

Here’s an example of a use for Steelie Insert Type 5, #dm215. I shot it with Testors Metallizer Magnesium. Looks pretty nice on the Skyline. #customhotwheels #customdiecast #hotwheelspics #hotwheelscustom #hotwheels

Rocking some 50 inch Wheelie Bars on this Thirsty Thursday. These Stainless Steel add-ons will fit most any cast and just slide in place between the base and the wheel. These are part #dm199 One of the first Hot Wheels products i came out with. . #hotwheelscustoms #hotwheelscustom #matchboxcustoms #hotwheelspics #dragracing #customdiecast

Today’s images are of Steelie Insert Type 9, Part #dm219 Shown with the Brake Rotor Add-On. These heavily cut-out inserts really show off the brake rotors and look nice. Note that I’m still not doing any painting of these wheels yet. I want to show each Insert in basic form before going wild with paint and effects. Thanks for looking! . #hotwheelscustoms #matchboxcustoms #hotwheelspics #matchbox #hotwheels #customdiecast #customhotwheels #builtnotbought #mycustomhotwheels

Firing up this taco Tuesday (it’s also national tequila day) here is a look at Type 2 in the Steelie Insert series. Part #dm212 . Many of you are starting to receive your orders, I hope you will share how they look on your builds! . #hotwheelscollector #customhotwheels #customdiecast #hotwheelscustoms #matchbox #hotwheels #hotwheelspics #matchboxcustoms

Here is a view of how the brake rotors look behind the wheels. I used one spacer between the two to add some depth. The effect looks very realistic. Imagine how this could look with a coat of paint on the wheel. The Brake Rotor kit is part #227 The Steelie Insert shown is Type 8, Part #dm218 . #hotwheelscustoms #customhotwheels #hotwheels #hotwheelscollector #customdiecast #matchbox

One more look for the 49 Ford, this time with the first Steelie Insert in the line, Type 1, Part #dm211 . This look is achieved by painting the backer piece black, and stacking the two pieces together in the correct alignment. #hotwheelspics #customhotwheels #customdiecast #hotwheelscustoms #matchbox #49ford #custom

Here’s another in the Steelie Insert line, Type 12, part #dm222 I thought they looked nice on the Skyline cast. I think they will look killer on a VW T2 as well. #hotwheelscollector #customhotwheels #customdiecast #hotwheelscustoms #hotwheelspics #hotwheels #matchbox

Happy Saturday! Here is a look at the Steelie Insert - Type 11. #dm211 Overall I’m happy with how this line turned out. No matter how much simulation and modeling I do during the design process, I am never 100% sure what the final product will look like until it is in my hands. Thanks for looking and the support everyone! . #hotwheelscollector #customhotwheels #customdiecast #hotwheelspics #matchbox #hotwheels #dirtmodeler
