Wedding Center Pieces

 Ok so these really aren't toys, they are just for looking at, but look like toys, and I like them!

We sourced these trucks from various places, Mendards, Hobby Lobby, and Home Goods.  A friend made the monograms with a Cricket Machine.  We tried to get all four seasons.  The Christmas truck does have lights, however, some of wiring has fallin inside of the truck.  The Tuk-Tuck has a super fragile front wheel, which I fixed with some super glue. 













Wedding Party Favors

 For our wedding we had 164Customs.com (that same gentleman who did a custom one off of my actual physical Spec Miata race car) modify 40 HotWheels to be used as party favors. Almost halft of the trucks were the '56 Chevy Flashsider.  As luck would have it, I couldn't get enough of them at a reasonable price, so a few other classic trucks were added, some '49 Ford F1's, Maza REPU's, and some '56 Ford's.  

Jason at 164Custom pulled the trucks apart, removed the decals, gave them a coat of clear, reassembled, applied our monogram, and mounted to the custom card.  We were very happy with how they turned out!

Racing Champions: I started collecting the classic trucks, even though I ended up with three 1950 Chevy's, all with different paint jobs.  The level to detail is great!  Opening hoods, and rubber tires.  Some of them are "MINT edition, others are "MotorTrend edition"
