Description
Today we're turning a 1997 Hot Wheels Paddy Wagon into something Hot Wheels never made: a custom vintage fire truck.
Using the classic Paddy Wagon as the starting point, I removed the police details, fabricated a new rear section from styrene, added a big block engine, and raided some old diecast cars for tiny brass parts including a radiator and lanterns.
I also took another shot at real gold leaf lettering at 1:64 scale. It fought me pretty much the entire way, but the finished Hot Stuff #13 fire engine came together better than I expected.
