Custom Hot Wheels GMC Motorhome - Tribute to the Palmer Designs 2013 Bonneville Speed Week Entry! I’ve had this casting sitting around for a while now (wow…just checked…I stripped it in June of 2022 in hopes of doing something with it…and didn’t do it until November 2023) and recently came across some images of the 2013 GMC Motorhome taken to Bonneville Speed Week by Palmer Designs. Just the inspiration I needed to complete the build. Doing this was a lot of fun and I hope you like the end result as much as I do! #hotwheels #bonneville speed week #gmc motorhome

Incredible difference! Much much much better. The blue glass works very well.

@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms 9 ай бұрын

Thanks GW! It was a blast to build...and sometimes you just get lucky and the colored glass actually works well with a build instead of clashing with it. I absolutely loved the look of the glass on this build.

This RV ( = Racing Vehicle 😉) looks great. The casting is a heavy piece of metal. So during the construction you also had some sort of training at the same time. I love your humor: A chrome steering wheel in the heat of Bonneville. ☀🌞The driver has fun! 👋🤏😂

Great work on this custom build Jim, and those wheels really suit the final look so well! 🥰🥰 --- I have at least two (and maybe a third?) of these castings, and like the recent Poison Pinto build you did (got my "new to me" Pinto in the other day), it is getting me in the mood to do my own customs. 🥰🥰

@@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms absolutely. I was also surprised how well they constructed the thing, GFK here, aluminium there, independent rear axles with air ride to keep the floor even and as low as possible... and a 454 big block by Oldsmobile as well as the front wheel drive in the front. XD

@SteveBrandon 9 ай бұрын

Mattel had to truncate the GMC Motorhome behind the rear axle to keep the casting at three inches. In real life, I believe you'd be losing a lot of the Master Bedroom area if a GMC Motorhome was lopped like the Hot Wheels version. I really wish Hot Wheels would do a perfectly scaled 1/64 scale GMC Motorhome in Team Transport although some people would probably complain if there's no car with it.

@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms 9 ай бұрын

Ahhhhh...that makes sense as to why the casting is a little different than the real thing.
