A decade ago, I had the good fortune to attend the SEMA show in Las Vegas. My brother worked for a car care company, and they had hired Bill Goldberg as a... spokesmodel(?) for the week. So, I got to be Bill Goldberg that Sunday. Good thing we look so similar and have a pretty much identical build - ha! Was a great time with my brother - was so incredible seeing all these amazing machines up close and personal. Only time I’ve seen an F40 in person, first time seeing an Ariel Atom in the metal . These first pictures are some Hot Wheels design studies that ended up making it into production, as well as some full-size customs based on Hot Wheels designs - definitely one of the highlights of the show! The link to the full, 300+ photo album is below.

The Honda Racer is a great model. Really good engine donor for custom hot wheels builds too! The V10 engine just snaps right out.

As you can see, the exhaust manifolds are a separate metal piece, but the bloc is ready to use!

Hah! yup! I once had the idea of building a mini cooper pickup truck with a V10 in the back but sadly that project never got past a mockup stage. I should revive that...
