Oh no..Craig, you're not a NASCRAP fan are you? lol.
I can't say I have any diecast's left. I had a lot when I was a kid. I'm not sure what ever happened to them.

i have probably 60 (maybe more?) of the Jada 1/24th ones, with some smaller 1/64th scale too.

as for customizing the die cast, i leave that for the plastic kits. been building them since i was in grade 1.

I used to have all the pics on my website till it was closed down..I do also have sum NASCRAP cars that i`m selling if anyone is looking for anything that i may have. I`m more into NHRA than anything.. I have to figure out where i`m gonna put the pics of the cars.. Ialso have pics of my old bedroom of all the diecast cars that i had in it.. you cant really even see the walls. LOL Hotwheels cars i have roughly 2500, I could prob restock toys r us with what i have..
