BareMetalHW turns a clean car into a Mad Max buggy

By Jeff Glucker Jul 20, 2017


BareMetalHW usually takes a crusty old Hot Wheels toy and turns it into fresh look scaled-down awesome. Today, however, we’re moving in the opposite direction. The host takes a Dune Chaser and makes it something that George Millar would be proud to see blasting across a hellish desert landscape.
The Dune Chaser is a metal-on-metal toy so it serves as a good platform to take on the faux weathered beating that it’s about to receive. Panels are beat up, fake rust is applied, and then a pair of guns are added because you need some post-apocalyptic firepower in this universe. The frame is extended and the builder even makes use of a 3D printer to complete his vision.
Click play and drift into an oddly soothing look at this Hot Wheels transformation.
