DiY Hot Wheels In-Package Wall Display for $25! Show off your die cast car collection modular 🚗🏎🚙🚓

This video will show you how I built a RaceTrack themed Wall Display for my son's Hot Wheels car collection. Complete with bleachers and signs!
The design is easily adjustable to any size or patterns you like, and you can gap the columns to support Matchbox or other cars as well. The dimensions and parts I used are below.
This is a really fun project to do as a surprise for your kids or as a family build with design choices for all involved. Please like and subscribe to the channel for future fun DIY videos. Maker Teej says "Make it Yours!"

Nice! My daughter is sort of a " master " wood crafter and makes me whatever display rack I need ( have room for 😂). Convenient 😉 Of course I gotta get the supplies 😂

[@MakerTeej]

Awesome! I hope the build goes really great for you. Get those cars on display 😎😎👍🏼

[@Mitch2GNAR]

[@MakerTeej]

Thanks bro! I appreciate it. The build was made from a 2’x4’ sheet of mdf and drywall L-channel - best wishes on your build 😎👍🏼👍🏼

[@lavelleblaze]

So true every time I go to Walmart there’s none lol

[@MakerTeej]

Seriously!! Lol … I might need to make another video on ‘ how to find hot wheels cars in unlikely places’ lol 😂

I have the same exact story about my wife going to Target and me loving JDM cars and yes, they are hard to find now. Luckily we have a diecast specific hobby store here in Vegas! Good video!

[@MakerTeej]

Aw man I’m jealous! Lol. Well glad to hear we have a lot in common 😊 … I hope you like my next video. I’m making a lifted monster truck bed for my almost 4-year old, coming soon 😎👍🏼👍🏼

@@MakerTeej is that that size? thanks

[@MakerTeej]

@@Mitch2GNAR yes that link above is the correct size 👍🏼👍🏼

[@ak42069]

hey, how did you stick the mdf board securely to the wall? just some nails?

[@MakerTeej]

I used a 2.5” drywall screw into a stud on each side of the board. (They hide easily behind the car’s packaging so you can pretty much put them anywhere the studs are spaced in your home) 👍🏼

What a great video. I noticed the same lack of Hot Wheels in all big box stores when shopping gifts for my little nephews. Thought it was just post holiday fever but its now June 2023 and Walmart, Target, even the Dollar stores are all picked clean. Oh and here in Miami are the prices: $1.18 Walmart $1.19 Target $1.25 Dollar Tree/ Family Dollar/ Dollar General

[@MakerTeej]

Thank you so much! I used to live in Miami area also. Lots of collectors are hopping into the game. No more $.99 happy little gifts I’m afraid. Maybe the company will start producing more cars and the fervor will die down a bit. Happy hunting and collecting 😊👍🏼
