<div style="text-align: left;">It's been a lifelong dream of mine to take part in a SEMA build. Being able to wrench on full scale build and have that build featured at booth would give anyone a sense of pride for such a huge accomplishment. Though this is obviously nothing compared to a full scale SEMA build, every big project I have had lately has felt like I've had that adrenaline rush of having to complete it by a "deadline." Even though the deadlines are not dictated, I do make it a point to present a custom replica during a special event. I gave Ken Gushi's 2019 Pro Car to him during Round One of Formula Drift in Long Beach; I presented Sam Du his EVS Tuning A90 during the Bowls x Super Street SEMA 2019 Preview; and now we have Young Tea's AutoTuned x Supra Tuned A90 that I presented to him on Supra Sunday at Longo Toyota.</div>

I took on this project knowing that I was going to deliver during the Supra Sunday event once they announced it. I made Young's younger brother's Scion FR-S a year or so ago and I was fortunate enough to have the Auto Tuned family notice. I finally had the pleasure to meet Young before I presented him his car. It was then we kind of joked around about me building a replica of one of the other Auto Tuned projects. Fast forward to a few months later and the 2020 Toyota Supra A90 officially releases. Auto Tuned obviously got a Nitro Yellow A90 and already had some collaborations with their partners in the works.<br />

It wasn't until SEMA where AutoTuned took on the challenge of building three A90 Supras for SEMA 2019. Much like this build, they spent countless hours in pursuit of expressing the perfect build. Out of those three, came this beauty.<br />

Fast forward again to February 2020 and Longo Toyota announces their first meet for 2020, Supra Sunday co-hosted by Super Street. It was truly an amazing event, and I also realized that in all the excitement of building Young's A90, I totally forgot to get shots and footage of some of the other Supras. Nonetheless, after spending countless hours of my owntrying to put it together to be able to present it to Young on time for Longo's Supra Sunday.<br />

On the night before Supra Sunday, I literally stayed up all night to finish the car. So since I woke up at 8:00AM Saturday morning, that means I stayed up more than 24 hours during the event. The crazier part, is that I began my shift for work at 10:00AM after the event had ended at 9:00AM.<br />

Even with the lack of sleep, this is exactly why enjoy doing what I do. Not only am I still able to express my love for cars through my customs, but to be able to see the genuine appreciation and excitement when the full scale builder receives a miniature version is truly priceless. That is genuine passion and excitement from the both of us.<br />

Finally, because I buttoned up this custom minutes before I left for the event, I was unfortunately not able to have my typical photoshoot but luckily my good friend Brian Diep a.k.a. <a href="http://instagram.com/briantheninja" target="_blank">@briantheninja</a>, was able to take some great shots with his camera.<br />

After the meet, Young did let me know that, just like all builds, this A90 is going to evolve and that just means I am going to be ready to replicate the latest version once it is revealed.<br />
<br />
So stay tuned for that and don't forget to check out my other customs like Ken Gushi's 2019 Pro Car: <a href="https://www.pd9customs.com/2019/04/custom-hot-wheels-ken-gushis-86.html">https://www.pd9customs.com/2019/04/custom-hot-wheels-ken-gushis-86.html</a><br />

If you know Evasive Motorsports, then you know they make quality builds of some of the fastest cars to hit the Time Attack circuit. They also developed and debuted their new kit under their house brand, EVS Tuning. In my opinion, this is the best street spec'd performance car.</div>

The purists may not agree; but his reasoning for putting a Honda engine in is because it is the most powerful, and lightest 4-cylinder engine that can produce as much power as it does out of the gate. Dai also being a driver for Spoon, piloting the center drive Time Attack Civic, he is no stranger to the engine and its capabilities.<br />

It was definitely amazing and truly an honor to take part in the event. I stayed until the end and even made it to the final picture with all the attendees that you can see on the article posted by Super Street and on <a href="http://instagram.com/duspeed" target="_blank">Sam's Instagram</a> feed. I got to see amazing builds, make friends with new people. Now that my daughter is a little older, I can definitely make time for more replicas and present them to their respective owners.<br />

Until the next one,<br />

I am proud to announce that my YouTube channel is now up and running.

My goal is to share my progression and growth of my skills and share this journey and gained knowledge with you. Thank you so much for your interest and support.</div>

I haven't posted in a almost two months, but I wanted to make sure that I did this month. I am working on a few projects and put a brief pause on a few of the Porsches that I posted before. This one is a big one and I am trying to finish these before October 17, 2019. If you know what happens that weekend, then you know these are going to be exciting builds. Stay tuned to my Instagram to see consistent update on these projects as well as a few others I'm hoping to get done by Sema this year. Yes. Sema!<br />

This was sort of a last minute project. I had just learned about the details of the Matchbox Custom Contest for this year about two weeks before the due date and I really wanted to enter this time around in the hopes of getting featured at the Japanese Classic Car Show in Long Beach, CA later this year. It came down to either a widebody BMW M5 or this generation Subaru STI, and as you see, I chose to go with the STI. I had already been wanting to replicate one of Jon Sibal's amazing renders so here's what I did to get it to go from a "stock" VA STI to the car you see above. </div>

Even though it says, you can start working on the epoxy after 12 hours of drying, I always wait 24 hours, which is another reason why my customs take a good amount of time to complete.<br />

Another project for my good friend Javier (<a href="http://instagram.com/drftngkng" target="_blank">@drftngkng</a>). For this coming Father's Day, Javier wanted to surprise his dad with a replica of his truck. Originally this was just supposed to be a recolor of a Matchbox Tacoma but the most recent picture he sent me included a ladder rack and running boards that his dad just added so I wanted to replicate it in its current state to make it all the more better. Here's how i customized this Taco:<br />

So you can never find these in stores anymore and I had to source it from eBay. It wasn't too pricey and it was for a friend so I did not mind at all.<br />

I've always had a special place for STIs. They are one of my favorite cars to this day and this gen was the one that fully got me into the idea of ever owning or working on one. Since the funds aren't quite there, I have absolutely am all for working on a 1:64 scale project for a friend.<br />

After watching the first two rounds of Russian Drift Series 2019 Season, I was inspired by Nikita Shikov to customize two Rocket Bunny / HGK 86s. Not sure what color they will end up but I'm thinking one is definitely going to be kept for myself and then the other may be raffled out.<br />

I recently took on a new project for <a href="http://instagram.com/evasivemotorsports" target="_blank">Evasive Motorsports</a> to repaint two 1:18 scale RC-Fs. I have never taken on a project at this scale but I am always up for a new challenge. I had no idea just how detailed these RC Fs were going to be so the process was admittedly difficult, but it was not something I couldn't handle. Take a look at how I changed this RC F from "Ultrasonic Blue Mica" to "Caviar".</div>

Removing the doors from the main body was a breeze but separating the interior door panels was extremely difficult. There are three points within the panel that you cannot see that are super glued. Since I had never had to separate anything like this before I had to research and experiment myself. I have found that other modelers said this was easy because they are typically just snapped in but as I mentioned earlier they were glued on. So with a little thinking and experimenting I was successfully able to pry off the panels without damaging the plastic. I did scratch the inside as you can see but I am re-painting the inside of the door and it will be hidden by the panels once again.<br />

So I have been working on a special project for the man who helps me render and upgrade my logos, Javier P., owner of <a href="http://instagram.com/cr8tivepixls" target="_blank">Cr8tive Pixls</a>. I was asked to make just one R35 for him but because he has helped me so much, I wanted to make him two. The first one he asked to make is for his wife and he wanted a glitter pink R35, simple, without any widebody kits. So I sourced the paint and wheels and this time I went with <a href="http://instagram.com/monoblockwheels" target="_blank">Monoblock Wheels</a>. The quality of these wheels are beyond amazing and come are aggressively priced at 5 sets for $20, which is pretty much one set for free if you try to source Hot Wheels with Real Riders equipped; so you definitely get more bang for your buck. Anyway, I got some rattle cans and tried something new with this custom as you've seen above. Here's how it looked before the paint:<br />

<b>On to Javier's</b></div>
<br />
Because Javier was so kind to make me two logos, I wanted to make his extra special. So far for his R35, I've only done a wing delete, smoothed out the trunk lid where the wing used to be with epoxy. Now comes the hard part... the widebody kit. I have been thinking long and hard on which direction to go but I think I know which way I'm going.<br />

Thanks to Jonathan and our mutual friends, for the majority of the event I was fortunate enough to hang out at Ken Gushi's pit. I was able to take some shots of his car, get to know some members of his pit crew, and also get a first hand look of how they work behind the scenes. It was definitely a great experience.</div>

Fun fact: Chris Forsberg was the driver who fully got me into motorsports. I first saw him drive in this series in 2007 and I was immediately hooked. The fact that he put a Titan/Armada engine in a 350 Z Roadster and hearing the roar of its engine and exhaust just blew my mind. </div>

<a name='more'></a>This was another exciting build since it has something to do with one of the motorsports I do love and appreciate, drifting! Thanks to Jonathan Wong... YES! The Jonathan Wong! I was able to present the finished custom to Ken during one of his breaks on Qualifying Day for Round 1 of the Formula Drift Championship in Long Beach, CA on April 5, 2019. This was one of my most exciting, exhausting, and stressful builds that I had ever put together; but it was all worth it when it all came together.<br />

I've mentioned it time and time again but I am extremely grateful to Jonathan Wong for helping me present this custom to Ken Gushi. Thanks to him and few of our mutual friends, I was also able to hang out at Ken's pit for the majority of the day. I had the privilege of getting a first hand look at how a team owner/driver operates behind the scenes and it was beyond amazing.<br />

As I have been customizing diecast cars for a few years now, I've always been caught between doing replicas of full scale cars or customizing original casting designs that are not certified makes or models and just adding my own little touches. This one is an icon so I needed to make sure that I did it right. From the extremely rare 1-of-1 Rocket Bunny aero from TRA Kyoto to the SSR Wheels. I think I pulled it off. Take a look at its different stages:</div>

I've been working on this custom since September/October 2018. I wanted to make sure that this came out as perfect as it possibly could. From sourcing the right wheels, to chopping up the rear so that the exhaust with the twin turbo set up would properly accentuate the whole build. I even went as far as asking my Instagram followers what the color it should be and the majority voted for Voodoo Blue, so it was only right that I listened to them. At long last, it is done.</div>

Just cleaning up the little imperfections. This custom by far has probably had the most epoxy sessions I have ever done. The 934 casting itself actually rides high so I had to add about 2-3mm of skirts and front lip so that it has that perfect ride height. I also chopped up the back to add a little something that I will go over in detail once it's done.<br />

<a name='more'></a>Huge thanks to my wife for taking my son and me to the Hot Wheels: Race to Win exhibit at the Discovery Cube in Los Angeles. It was an amazing, highly interactive experience centered on having kids learn about the science behind cars and racing as well as the history of Hot Wheels and how racing is a huge influence on the brand. It was truly amazing to see how Hot Wheels and the Discovery Cube prepared the exhibit to be so informative for Hot Wheels lovers of all ages. They broke down each section of the exhibit into colored zones that were filled with displays and activities to support the topic of each zone. Once you enter the Discovery Cube main entrance, there is a ramp to your right that immediately leads to the featured exhibit.<br />

</tbody></table>
There was a simulation NASCAR pit stop for kids to learn what a pit stop consists of and how important the pit crew is. Each member has a key role and kids learn the importance by participating in those roles as well. There was a station for a kid to lift and drop the vehicle, one to re-fuel the vehicle, and a section for two to three kids to change out the tires; one on the impact gun, one to remove the old tire, and another to put on the new tire. It really is exciting to see and experience.<br />

Before you leave don't forget to visit the gift shop because there are a handful of exclusive items that you can purchase such as an exclusive t-shirt, a souvenir cold cup, and a special edition Hot Wheels Blvd. Bruiser exclusive to the Race to Win exhibit equipped with Real Riders.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Because it was pretty hectic, I was not able to take a picture of every single part of the exhibit, such as the stage that featured presenters to further explain the different sciences behind racing and building a race car, as well as having real race car drivers on select dates. There's plenty to see and do at the Race to Win exhibit and also plenty more exhibits to find around the Discovery Cube. If you are in the Los Angeles area, I highly recommend checking this out before it leaves on April 28, 2019. You won't be disappointed.<br />

I'm not going to lie, I have just recently got into Porsches within the last two years. My uncles and my older brother have always loved them but it wasn't until I started appreciating endurance races, which I also got into recently, that showed me the true awesomeness that is Porsche. If you follow me on Instagram, you'll see my Porsche customs have significantly increased. But because I love them so much, I take my time with them. With my day job and being a parent taken into consideration, it takes me about a month just to finish one widebody custom. This project officially started September 2018 and still just about 80% done with it and it is February 2019. I'm doing plenty of things I have never done before and I want to make sure I do them all right. There is still loads to do and this is just the first entry in my "Progress Report" series for this custom.</div>

<a name='more'></a>With a new hobby comes investing time and money in the tools necessary to get what you want done. I started this hobby back in 2014 and of course I learned that I needed to source and invest in a lot of tools, tools that I never would have ever thought to ever invest in but it is definitely well worth it. Since my uncles have plenty of tools, I was able to "borrow" some of these tools and never return them. The rest I purchased in person or through various websites. Here is a detailed list of the tools I sourced to begin my journey as a diecast customizer.<br />

The drill and these drill bits will be used to break the casting free from its base by removing the original rivet(s) that come from the factory. Make sure to know the material of the casting that you are drilling because if it happens to be plastic, you may drill through and even drill your own hand.</div>

The diagonal colors are used to cut off any excess or unnecessary pieces but mainly used to cut the brass rods so that you can make the new axles a perfect length. The pliers without a cutter will be used to make the ends of the axles, acting as "lug nuts"; so that the new wheels you swapped in will stay on the new axles. More details on this in the next tutorial.</div>

These aren't used very often during wheel swaps although there are some occasions where you will need to use them. I mainly used to clean up the casting's factory separation points, especially before repainting, which I will highlight in the next tutorial. I use Army Painter for the larger areas and since the Tamiya set has a finer grit, I use those for a smoother finish.<br />

In case you want that list again, here it is. Just scroll up to see what they were used for.<br />
<br />
-Drill<br />
-5/64 drill bit<br />
-1/8 drill bit<br />
-9/64 drill bit<br />
-2-56 right-handed tap<br />
-T-handle or grip for the 2-56 tap<br />
-2-56 button head screws 3/16", 1/4", 1/2" in length (my preference)<br />
-0.050 Allen key (my preference)<br />
-Pocket or small flat-head screwdriver<br />
-Diagonal "dyke" cutters<br />
-Precision cutters<br />
-(Needle nose) pliers without cutters<br />
-0.032 brass rods<br />
-Hammer<br />
-Precision/modeling files<br />
-Fine point sharpies<br />
-Self-healing cutting mat<br />
<br />
Now you're ready to crack your casting open and start with a basic wheel swap. Stripping and re-painting needs more tools as well so that list of additional tools will come along with a detailed tutorial. I am also working on tutorial videos so keep checking back.<br />

This is what happens when you give me a Hot Wheels Aristo Rat. See what the original casting went through to end up the winning custom for <a href="http://www.instagram.com/customsunderground" target="_blank">@customsunderground</a>'s "Zero to Hero" build off for January 2019. The original vision was to do a cyberpunk-style, track-spec rat rod and since the body lines were similar to that of a Porsche, I wanted to accentuate those lines to keep the aesthetic and make it look even more aggressive. I have been wanting to customize this casting for months and what better way to do it than for a customs build off. </div>
