you would bump this richard...
^^ Not in the slightest, how they got that bullshit into SEMA baffles me
Im guessing it was only let in because of the HotWheels connection because they ok each car at check in, the SEMA crew must of thought it was bad because they put it in the back sort of by itself instead of the main walkway out front.
First time I see pics of the HCM cars featured anywhere. Autoblog entirely skipped out advertising them, not surprised though. Who built these..... A group of kids? LOL!!! Richard, did you attend the preview unveiling at HCM in Santee? I wonder if anyone besides stangpede members showed up for that.
^^ doubt it... i dont think anyone outside stangpede likes them, lol
no I wouldnt waste my gas
i <3 hcm!
looks half assed/rushed. Like they found out they were going to SEMA a week before the event.
the sad part is only real enthusiasts noticed the flaws; most people would look right past it and think it was something cool.

they are about 5 minutes from my house...looks like a bunch of gay ass riced out crap there usually. :banana:
no one finds out they are going to SEMA the week before, that shit is squared away so far in advanced. Not to mention they started posting about an open house bragging about this car approx a month or so before SEMA
and youd have to be a blind person to not notice these flaws.
^^^ HAHAHA omg that was funny.
bwhahahahahahahahahahaha
I lolerbated to this thread
I lolerbated to this thread
some of the worst i have seen !
That is a freaking mess
you didnt think this thread was over did you???? as promised there is more!!! better late than never I guess.
PLEASE REPOST THIS ON AS MANY FORUMS AS YOU WISH AS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!
The car is now up at Real Auto Works, the shop that built the green Camaro that was awarded best GM at SEMA and was underbid by Ernie for this Hot Wheels project, to be saved. The kit, hood, wheels, etc will be the same as that is how the project was commissioned however it will be assembled properly. I drove up and they were kind enough to let me photograph the car in greater detail as it was being torn back apart to see what needed to be fixed; needless to say its just about everything and probably would be easier and cheaper to scrap the thing and buy a new car lol. Prepare to die laughing!!!!
STAY AWAY FROM HARDCORE MUSCLE IN SANTEE!!!
****WARNING - PHOTOS ARE NOT FOR THE WEAK OF HEART, THOSE WHO ARE PREGNANT, HAVE PREEXISTING HEART CONDITIONS, ARE SUBJECT TO SICKNESS OR UNCONTROLLABLE LAUGHTER MAY NOT WANT TO VIEW....YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!****
First the paint is horrendous, there are sanding marks, runs, blotchiness, faded areas, discoloration, etc, however due to the metallic nature of the paint most flaws do not show up in photos...
and of course we know of the missing body parts like the door handles:
And again, nothing lines up or fits right:
AND THE REASON WHY NOTHING FIT?!?!?!?! WOOD SCREWS!!!!! More on this to come.... oh and notice the rubbing compound...that extra, free of charge!
Ernie didnt mask off anything and as a result there was some of that cool, custom paint everywhere!!
They ****ed up all the rubber seals:
more over spray, wood screw, misalignment, and compound:
scratches, compound; remember this is EXACTLY how HCM took the car to SEMA:
They just used the trunk as a garbage bin:
The car is just a complete mess:
The engine bay remained stock red; well except for the over sprayed parts:
Overspray and rubbing compound went everywhere! Including wires; not even the interior was safe
(more to come on that):
