Here are three Johnny Mustang castings I did some switching around on and became much more satisfied with all when I was finished. First is this Tomy/Johnny Mach 1 I loved the color and detail on, but the wheels had to go. They just didn't fit the era of this muscle car, and they have the look od a show car wheel instead of a performance car wheel. ![]() Second is this Johnny Stang I didn't care for the flame job down the body, but had some sweet Cragar mag wheels that have more the look of a performance looking wheel. ![]() ![]() This one also had developed some diecast corrosion along the hood and fender edges and was in desperate need of repair. ![]() I did some sanding and prep work on the black one and sprayed the hood with a new cote of paint. ![]() ![]() ![]() Since the flame job wasn't a bad paint job at all, but gave this Stang a more of a show car look, I took the show look wheels from the blue Mach 1 Stang and stuck them on the black flamed Stang.Now it had a 100% show car look to me. ![]() ![]() Then the Cragar performance wheel went on the blue Mach 1 and now it has a 100% performance look. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I did like the look of a black Stang with the performance look Cragar mags, so I picked up another flame job Stang and removed the flames. I was real happy with the look of all three of my awesome Stang additions!!! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sorry about the funky pics... Dust and lint shows up big time and seem to make the cars beat and chipped up!!! Edited by Stangfreak, Dec 14 2017, 09:48 AM.

Amazing what a bit of paint and wheels swaps do for the look of these die-cast. Nice work and I really like the all black......
