Chris Horton's car immortalized?

[CAMAROBOY69]

I saw this car over the weekend and knew I recognized the paint job right away. It is identical to Kris Hortons Chevelle!

How cool is it to design and sell you own car!

Kris works for Jada Toys as their designer

Haha, glad you guys dig it. That was a "perk" of the job. The Chevelle represented Jada Toys a couple times at various shows and in turn, they asked me to design a die-cast "replica" of it. A few changes were made to make it fit the Big Time Muscle product line of course, but I think it came out looking pretty cool! :)

They can take my Formula and "overhaul" it to look like the 1970 Firebird toy I have setting on my desk right now anyday!

Cool stuff for your desk!

So during my roadtrip to The Richmond Nascar race this weekend we made a pit stop at some hole in the wall gas station/ truck stop somewhere in West Virginia. I'm killing time checking out the merchandise while the other guys are hitting the loo and I come across a couple "DUBS" die cast cars. One was a 72 Chevelle with Horton's exact paint scheme on it. It didn't have any mention of him though. :hmm: I wonder if they ripped him off or he licenced the rights to them. I should have picked it up, but didn't, thinking we'd hit the same place on the way back. Of course, we didn't.

So Chris, what's up? yo getting as famous a Jesse James now? :poke:

See the other post in Multimedia section. He works for the Toy company who makes them and was able to design his own car as a die cast.
