Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Sweet, Sweet Custom Displays …
I bought out my Walmart store and thought I had the sweetest custom display EVER …
I was exhausted after putting thus diorama display together but sadly, others have edged me out slightly in design & creativity … but only slightly …
The (real) Sven Van G. claims he made this out of spare cardboard … how come my spare cardboard looks like well, spare cardboard and yours magically looks like this?
Just too nice!
No Tumbleweed McQueen – HA!
Now, that’s how you recycle cardboard!
“GotFrank” was not only nice enough to send us some amazing shots of the other side of the Motor Speedway of the South set (the Pit Row) but he was also gracious enough to offer the ready to print out and use Pit Row boxes for each racer! In High Res and beautifully crafted – thanks, GotFrank. They have been uploaded to:
The password is : takefiveaday.com
(this is a low res example – the actual files are high res and sans the watermark).
Thanks GotFrank! It’s 64 MB so don’t download it from your phone – do it at home.
Are you ready to be dazzled?
Sweet, sweet Jebus! And that’s just the people who live in a studio apartment.
Holy snickey!
Yea, GotFrank sent me this pics like 6-months ago, sadly I placed them in a folder call DON’T MISPLACE and then filed it in a folder poorly named NOTHING IN HERE. Sorry GotFrank but I think most will agree, time has not diminished the sheer greatness of your Viking table Pit Row setup … what’s 2 by 4 by 700?
Though clearly, no Tumbleweed. I did not realize I had the ultimate collectible.
And thanks for letting us share in your setup with Pit Row boxes for all. I expect photos from all of youse in the next few days.
So, thanks Sven & GotFrank – now you know what your setup should look like so get to work!

Does anyone have a copy of the Pit Row box decoration file(s)? The link no longer works.
Thanks in advance.
I used to have a cd of them but since handed it out to someone in Temecula California years ago
This is beautiful work! I will definitely be doing this as a craft with my son. Thanks so much for sharing the files.
now that is just sweet!!!
Cara eu tenho fotos da minha coleção aqui no Brasil e gostaria de dividir com vocÊs como eu faço pra enviar as fotos, a ja ia esquecendo e tambem estou montando um pista completa da copa pistão.
Send it to Met’s email address, and he will put your picture here! 🙂

Hope it’s ok with you Met…he wants to send the pics of his display so everyone can see it!
I just found the fighter jet Marco packaged with an Elvis RV label. This seems rare and something to hang on to, huh?
love this post, BRAVO
i was the first one to get a set of those pitboxes from josh and got to say my son loves them. who cares if they have a lot of time on there hands. there is no way i have that kind of skills. i got more stuff from gotfrank coming. thanks josh.
Scrapbooking was one of my hobbies when i was in high school and college. it was quite fun.”:
Judging by all the Tokyo Mater cars, I’d say the speedway is from England. LOL
yeah.. I notice that Mater from Tokyo! So its already available in UK?
Very Cool..!!
These dudes are hardcore Cars fans! Looks cooler than most of my stuff boxed up. 😉
Darrell Cartrip looks lonely — where is Bob Cutlass?
WOW, awesome displays.
Wow, beautiful work!
Why no photos of the Radiator Springs side?
P.S. Met, what are you thinking? Tumbleweed obviously resides in the Willy’s Butte diorama (not pictured) molded from real multi-hued sand collected in the American Southwest while on Route 66 pit stops.
Here’s a link to my collection thread lots o’ pics there:

WOW! WOW! WOW! Wish I had that much room and that much talent 🙂
PS. Met, the TeePee is a nice touch 🙂
I would be remiss if I did not say…………WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AMAZING..and I thought my shoebox was a good idea!!!!!
GotFrank sent me a CD with the pit boxes in April 2009… I finally got around to copying the files onto my hard drive over the weekend and printed the Leakless/NoStall page… He suggested using card stock paper, so Sunday night I bought a 50 sheet pack, liked how Leakless/NoStall turned out, and printed them all…
Last night I cut out 11 of them and my wife was gracious enough to fold and assemble them – she’s a scrapbook-a-holic and is much better at doing crafts work then I will ever be… They look great – she suggested balsa wood to help give stability.
They’ll look great in my display case, next to the launcher…
On the subject of balsa, you’d want 1/4″x1/8″. Folding the curb pieces
around balsa makes them alot more stable & easier to put together. And a
couple of struts width-wise in the boxes are helpful too. Pictured here:

Thanks MET & everyone! Yes the pics are a bit dated. They’re missing
3 racers, 2 cheifs & 9 pittys. BTW anytime Mattle could release the
next 5 Piston Cup Nights crew sets would be swell. *twitch twitch*
GotFrank noted on the cd for me that theres two versions of the Apple and Dale Jr cars.
BELLISSIMO!!!!! BRAVO!
AWESOME STUFF THERE! Some one has a HUGE amount of time on their hands to invest in such an incredible display. TOP NOTCH!
Who is that next to jay limo? This is awesome.
Nick Stickers and Vern Taxi
I knew that was Vern but Nick looks different at that angle.
WOW nice work Got Frank.
Anyone that wants the cd I have it and can pass it on
Where did Sven find Brian Parks???
Something tells me he was an Ebay find … and a GREAT ONE! Look forward to seeing him. 🙂
