How to display HW's......???

SPAZ · 11-15-2003, 01:18 PM

well I started collecting HW's now also...What is the best way to display them. I hate to take them out of the package but Im considering it. I'm really collecting them because I like corvettes..not for the value. So It really doesnt bother me to peel them out of the package...Is there a company that makes acrylic cases that hang on the wall for these? Any help or opinions would be appreciated. P.S. Im looking for any 1/64th will club or company logos or event names. Email me if you have anything.

In my "car room" I removed the 2 sliding closet doors and put up peg board and bought those chrome metal rods that hook into the peg board sort of what you use in the garage. I do plan on redoing it with SLATT WALL. I keep all the same seiries in the same rod. usually there are 4-5 cars per series. Look almost like the store itself.

I have seen people use strips to display their hot wheels. The strips are "channels" that are used in commercial bathrooms to hold up the laminate walls. I would think that you could find something at Lowes or Home Depot. The idea is that the card slides down into the grooves while the plastic part is exposed. There will be two strips per row of cars, one for each side. You will have to space them out by the size of the card. Hopefully I have explained this well enough for you to get the idea. I will try to find a picture of this somewhere.

Go to a resturant supply house and get a bunch of those round things that the waitresses put the orders on for the cooks. :lolg:
