I decided to have a little fun in between projects since it’s cold and somewhat snowy out and I can’t drive my car…

I had this Magnus Walker 944 sitting on my desk and decided I was going to customize it by stripping it, painting it, and giving it some more realistic wheels. I wanted it to look close to my white one in the garage.

Here’s what it looked like before I drilled out the rivet and took it all apart:

and here are some pics after pulling the wheels off and after I sprayed it white:

Wheels look fantastic and the stethoscope in the trunk area must designate this is a fast vehicle needed by a Doctor on Call, ha!

The stethoscope has an interesting story about the Hot Wheels car designer and his oncologist.

What a great story and as a Cancer survivor it is one I will be happy to pass on to others.
