<VV> Hot Wheels Question!

[par429 at aol.com]

Agreed, I just used wheels from another Hot Wheel.  I have my own 
private junkyard.  I guess that's one advantage of having two teenage 
sons, who collected a lot of Hot Wheels, and don't want them anymore.

It seems like there's more than a couple us us modifying Vairy-8's,  
anyone else have any pictures to share?

    We looked for other hot wheels cars that looked like they had decent 
wheels. Then use those in 1 Vairy 8, sacrificing the offbrand car for 
its wheels. Then You use the fronts from the Vairy 8 that got other 
wheels on another Vairy 8 at the back. So it has general size wheels 
all around. Then use a dremel or such to pare down the flaring on the 
wheel well and it looks almost like stock would. You also them need to 
grind down the undercarriage a bit so it will roll.

small ones from another car? I bought a set of vairy8's off ebay fer 
cheap and I wanted to modify into "stock" or at least a little more 
stock. Great job on your Yenko.
