n8ball2013 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Ive been scouring the internets for weeks now trying to find a company that will do this. Pretty much what I want to do is turn my truck into a model or a match box type car. Im hoping there is a company out there that I can take a picture of my truck and send it to them and they will then in turn make an exact replica out of it in model or matchbox car size. I want to be able to put it on my desk. Has anyone ever seen a company do this? I know there are make your own matchbox and stuff but they only do certain models. aka gay.

n8ball2013 Posted February 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 This is the only thing that scares me about that one considering that i dont think they made an exact replica of my truck with the extended cab stepside it will probably be on the high side of that. The standard cost of just a repaint is $225.00-$250.00 depending on the starter car. This price does not include the starter car which he can provide if needed. The average project including the car and all the most common work ordered runs about $450.00. But depending on whats needed, some can be as inexpensive as $50.00 or can run as high as $2000.00.

Exerstine Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) yeah, i figured if there was a 1/18th model of the truck then he could do it. i didn't think it would be that expensive.

IBleedMusick Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Have you tried contacting Chevy directly don't they usually make die cast models of every car they produce I figure its worth a shot if you could at least get a Silverado and have someone mod it to your liking. Great idea though tuned in to see results Quote 2013 Dodge Charger Build Log 1996 Ford Explorer XLT 5.0Build Log 2005 Honda Civic LX Coupe Build Log SMD SUPER SELLER!!!!My Selling Feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBleedMusick Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Didn't they make a 99 ext cab dooley dually or however you say couldn't you just get that and mod it. I believe the body is about the same and would take minor modding or hell there has to be someone on here that is a master in steelworks.

Robert8252 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 (edited) Getting somewhere http://www.ultimaterc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=94723 Sorry for my ignorance but is 99-99 when they changed the body style completely? Just seeing if I could find something that could be worked with. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-MATCHBOX-99-CHEVROLET-SILVERADO-GRAY-LOOSE-/300667457467?pt=Diecast_Vehicles&hash=item46012d4fbb#ht_1458wt_689 Edit.

IBleedMusick Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 A Silverado RC hmmmm sounds like a plan to me. That would be cool as fawk on any desk and not to mention it will stick out more than a little die cast model. RC Silverado with a system FTMFW!!!!
