Thank you for viewing my listing! I have over 10 years experience making Custom Nascar Diecast. My customs are widely regarded as some of the best available in the hobby. If you’re looking for high quality customs, crafted with careful attention to detail, you’ve come to the right place! As a collector myself, I create each car as if I were building it for my own collection.
Every one of my customs completes the following process over the course of multiple weeks of labor:
- disassembly
- paint stripping (down to bare metal)
- washing/cleansing of metal
- bare metal prime coat
- primary color painting
- secondary color painting (if necessary)
- added free hand painting (spoilers, splitters, ABC posts, etc.)
- waterslide decaling with setting solutions
- clear coating (3x minimum depending on color)
- decal trimming
- additional clear coat (seal coat)
- reassembly
- additional free hand detail painting (if necessary)
These cars are intended for collectors who want to display them, they also make great additions to stop motion races! These cars are not intended for rough play. Majority of my cars are shipped in a clear plastic donor box, the donor box will not be from any specific year or model. If there is not a donor box in the photos then that particular car will not be shipped in a donor box but will be packaged safely and securely!
If you’re unfamiliar with custom diecast please understand that due to the nature of these cars being handmade, they will have minor imperfections, this is known and accepted by collectors in the hobby of custom diecast.
MESSAGE FROM LUCAS
I wanted to thank everyone who has shown interest in my customs. For those of you who continually bid on and purchase my cars it really means so much to me and my family. Your support is what allows me to continue to devote more and more time to making these customs. I started collecting nascar diecast at 10 years of age and have continued to collect every since. Along the way I discovered the world of custom diecast and this discovery took my interest in the hobby to the next level. I began researching and learning how to make my own customs and I've spent the last 12 years trying to improve them. As a longtime collector myself, I understand the frustration when a car is not produced that you MUST have in your collection. My goal is to be able to provide the incredibly satisfying feeling of adding that car to your collection in the form of a custom diecast that is of the highest quality. I pay attention to as much detail as reasonably possible and sometimes beyond in every car I make. I don't want to make a "quick" or "rushed" attempt at a custom but rather I want to make a diecast that looks like it was made by Action or Lionel or better! My intent is when you add my cars to your collection they fit in with your other cars to the point where you can't even tell that they are customs.
IN REGARD TO QUESTIONS, REQUESTS, PRICING, ETC.
Collectors, I first want to say thank you for your interest in my services! I am so appreciative to have such a high demand for my customs! With that said I want to apologize in advance, It's difficult for me to connect with everyone and answer every message I receive. I want to answer all your questions and fulfill as many requests as possible but it's just not possible for me to get to everything while still being able to maintain a healthy work/life balance. I have found that in the past I get overwhelmed when taking private orders/sales so In order to keep things as simple as possible I no longer do any sales outside of ebay auctions. This is both to be able to focus as much time as I possibly can on making customs and not spending as much time on logistical related tasks and to give everyone an open and fair opportunity to own everything I make. With that said, if you have a car you'd like to see made feel free to message me and I'll see if it's something I can do, however please note when the car is completed it will be put up for auction on ebay for everyone to view/bid including yourself. I appreciate your patience and understanding with all of this. I know as collectors we have our lists of cars we want, I have a list myself. My best advice to all of you is continue checking the page. I am posting awesome, unique cars from the last 20 years every week! You will eventually see many of the cars you have wanted and many more you didn't know you wanted. Keep checking back often so you don't miss any!
