which one, the extenda chassis? it's a prototype from chris at x.i. that i aquired a while back from goodfellaz on xmf.

well, didnt get a chance this weekend to do anything really, but work and work on my truck. and it was a bad weekend, won't go into details but it was bad.

but the only good thing that happened this weekend was getting this curio cabinet. was able to fit 27 cars in it. well 22 cars and my 5 alloy or highly upgraded chassis that i have in their. once i get some standofs i'll get my nos chassis back in there.

i dont think i've gotten any new bodys since last posted, but have got some new b/ks, couple sets of slammed rims all nib (not pictured) also scored a set of cool dragons.

[Donziikid]

Cooldragons! You can't find those anywhere now-a-days (couldn't really back in the day, either, lol).





[edit] You don't crawl! Give them to me!

You may not. That thread's only a year old.

How many of g-fellaz cars do you have?

lol 5. i bought indian giver from b1g, i bought wideload and pocket change from gf, traded with gf for the altezza, and i won the van in our buildoff. and actually i have his gold scion somewhere as well that was included in a trade we did. so 6.

[zippo855]

well i bought 5 pieces of glass, and drilled some holes, added the holding pegs, and got 5 more shelfs. but, it's not enough room lol. there is 2 open spots, 1 of which is on the z shelf and will be filled before long, and the other is on the 2nd shelf down, because i dont know which one i actually want in there yet. sadly i see another cabinet in the future.

here's some pics. and i need to get some better lighting, the light in the top of the cabinet doesnt do that great a job.
























if you counted them you see there is 52 cars in there right now, so total capacity will be 54 cars. maybe 55 if i decide to squeeze another alloy chassis on that shelf.

comments and questions please

i still got some more that i dont have room for in there. and i don't think i can squeeze and more in that cabinet abfter i fill those 2 spots. lol

definately keeps them dust free, main reason i wanted something like this. i bought the curio from my mom, she said she hadnt dusted it in like 18 months, and there as barely any dust in it.

definately baby safe, although i do have to clean the bottom front glass often as he likes to go up and look in there and puts his hand prints on it. its all good though, its fun watching him when i do drive them. before long he should be able to drive one as well. lol he's still growing like a weed, at his 9 month appointment he was 31 inches long and like 21 lbs or somewhere around that on his weight.

thanks man, i have grown to like that charger as well, just need to get the working photo etched butterfly kit for it at some point.
