Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: The Road to a Custom is Fraught with Perilous Peril …
You park in the wrong place, the wheels will come off … along with your base frame and all your teeny, tiny mix CD’s …
This is a 12-story plywood block combining classical neo-Georgian features with the efficiency of modern techniques. The CARS arrive here and are carried along the corridor on a conveyor belt in extreme comfort, past murals depicting desert scenes, towards the rotating drill bits. The last twenty feet of the corridor are heavily soundproofed. The oil & Nitroade pours down these chutes and the mangled wheels flesh slurps into these…
The exfoliate bath …
Very tingling … what’s, um … in it?
Our own special blend of peppermint oil, aloe emulation, mint balm and sulfuric acid.
AHHHHHHHHH! Run away! Run away! Run away! Who stole our wheels?!
I’m very cold …
Oh, now I’m very warm …
Naked before the world – ready for the transformation into something bigger, greater and better … who’s with me!?
Good thing Kevin Roche was thirsty – it takes a while to drink 25 cans of Red Bull …but then you can work 31 straight hours 🙂
Part ONE of the process is HERE.
Your Snow Leopard Apple CAR is being booted up.
With 25 Red Bulls, paint fumes in an locked room and sulfuric acid on his clothes, Kevin should be done in no time … 🙂
Well, it sucks that no one ever answered my question. 🙁

That poor Bumper Save.
So what’s REALLY in the bath? Just curious, ’cause I’m thinking I might want to try my hand at this.
errrr….7 posts up, Kevin answered this question….NOT KY jelly, he saves that for special occasions!!!
Thanks. I saw the Jelly post, but didn’t see the paint stripper post.
mr. pirate, are you trying to build points with me…lol
keep it up its working–
I always wondered how people created the custom Cars. Very interesting. But I have to say I got a little squeamish looking at the picture of the Cars with the bubbling paint. I know it’s for a good cause but man…poor Cars. 🙁
I will do side by side photos of the Tacomint from the Speedway of the South Set and Kevin Roches Custom when it arrives.
Thanks in advance for the Custom Tacomint Kevin.
Btw, Kevin Roche has sent me New Customs for the Custom Daytona – Talledega Speedway of the South set.
Days of Thunder Cars:
Cole Trickle #51 Mellow Yellow car
Rowdy Burns #51 Exxon
(waiting on the City Chevrolet version)
Dewalt #17 Ford
Aarons #00 Lucky Dog
…and for PETE sakes don’t use it instead of KY Jelly.
met did say it was ‘very tingling’ ………..
Looking good…can’t wait to get mine!!
Okay, call me a newb, but is there a way we can order one of these customs? How much? How, I would love to have one done for my son!

That exfoliate bath reminds me of the graveyard scene they didn’t use in the movie.
Yay!!! I can’t wait! Mine is there somewhere!!! Thanks Kevin!!!!!!!
