How to display Hot Wheels and diecast

In this video I will show you how I create diecast displays for just a few dollars. And they look great, just check out my other videos to see the finished project.

[@thegreenlaser215]

I found this video recently and went to Home Depot and then to Lowes to get the "ceiling stripping." No one had ever heard of it, and they couldn't find it in their system. Fortunately, a lady at Lowes led me to what may be what they are calling this now. It is listed in Lowes as tile board divider and comes in 8-foot lengths for $4 each. The end pieces, I think, rang up as $5 each. This is as of June 20, 2023. The actual Lowes item number is 11934 for the "PVC TLBRD DIVIDER WHT 8-FT" I bought, and the end piece was Lowes item number 11933 for the "PVC TLBRD END CAP WHT 8-FT" that I bought. I haven't done the project yet, but the design is similar to what he has in the video. I couldn't find the "No More Nails" tape either, but Gorilla tape has several double-sided tape options and I bought one of those. The Plano 5324 fixed, 24 compartment boxes he uses are available on Amazon, on sale for $8 each as I type this. I couldn't find them in stores anywhere yesterday. They also make adjustable compartment boxes, but I don't know how similar they are to the fixed ones he's using. I hope this information I gathered in my search yesterday helps people new to this video and these type of projects.

You are a hero! I tried looking this up a while ago and couldn't figure out what they were. Glad I came back. I found them with different numbers but looked them up by name and still found them very easily online.

[@firefinder44]

Lowes no longer carries this item. Home Depot has a similar item: 1/4 in. x 1-3/8 in. x 96 in. White PVC FRP/Tile Divider Moulding

[@jeremyschulz534]

you and the OP are the MVP's I've been searching for weeks it seems like for something to make displays that won't empty my wallet on one display. I'm off to Home Depot ..............ZOOM,, What did you use for the end cap pieces?

[@jeremyepps2285]

Great video man. The strips are actually called Vinyl wall panel moulding. That may help some of you folks out there look this material up online.

[@Sennaprat]

After getting no useful results for ceiling strapping, I found out these are called Division Bar Moulding

[@beckymadden8683]

OMG thank you! I've been trying to find them as ceiling strap!!

[@uus6554]

Thank U very much, buddy!

[@puddentaine]

Thanks!

[@dianesmallwood4584]

Thank you I haven't been able to find them as ceiling strapping. Have you found any?

[@BlueLuke18]

I feel that man 😂

[@oraliaespinosa4880]

That is absolutely Genius love it I’ll have to show it to my grandson he collects hot wheels since he was five years old and he’s 26 now thank you

[@wtffor]

Yes I see many collectors now here on KZbin with similar display set ups, it's great to see the revolution of cost-effective methods in getting the cars out of the boxes and onto the walls! Thank you and thanks to everyone else for making this hobby a great one full of shared ideas and input.

[@jjMcCartan9686]

I'm 48 & only getting my hotwheels on the wall .Glad I kept my redlines in the package ....Well mostly 😁

[@sarahgray6477]

Awesome help! My son started collecting at 3 years old (with the inheritance from grandpa of course) and he is 10 now so they are already out of control. Almost all are still in the package so they have been harder to store. This will be an awesome display for him to show off. Thanks!

[@alanjenkins352]

Thank you so much from Australia. Just finished about 3 thousand cars on the walls. I used screws instead of tape (a lot cheaper). The collection can now be seen instead of being cooped up in boxes for years. Cheers again mate.

[@PokeDaddyAustralia]

Hi mate, I am in Australia too if you still have the display on your wall i would love to see pics, feel free to send me a message through my channel. Hope to hear from you soon.

[@jerrycerda89]

Do the screws show up a lot or hidden?

[@lailahunter1683]

You, sir, are my HERO. We have been trying for ages to find a way to display all of our Hot Wheels cars, and nothing was working. This is PERFECT!!!

[@beardsplinter8329]

I've just started collecting and have been looking for an inexpensive way to display. This was absolutely helpful man, thank you!

[@VetteDaily]

Cool I went to Lowes and picked up the supplies and made it happen! Very easy and satisfying when complete....now I wanna go hunt some wheels! Thanks!

[@eazybe1]

Your collection blew me away! AWESOME!

[@stephanietill8122]

I'M IN LOVE!!!! I thought I had a "problem" lol I'm so jealous!!! Wow!

[@crownembass1]

Pretty cool. So far it's the best idea to show them off in their package.

[@melissadrinkwinebutt]

omg thank you . our 10 year old has been collecting for some time new . he is at last at the stage of not opening them and this is just great . we are up to over 10,000 cars now , I think we could cover every wall in his small room .

[@TropicalMind1]

All I can say is WOW!!! Amazing collection!

[@scager310]

I did this at my old apartment. It’s actually really brilliant. Knowing us HW collectors though, it makes you buy even more 😂🤷‍♂️

[@timm4930]

Great collection and tips for displaying , very cool !

[@askepticalcharmander9815]

I'm looking at his collection and im like "ok, ok, cool, hes got quite a few less than me, so this was probably easy for him." Camera turns at 5:08... Nevermind!

Good one.

[@Proven_Data]

Yeah but are his more collectible? :0 Also me too that’s like how much I’ve bought in a month. I need some save... 😢

[@alanye8946]

Funny

[@Cleanbangladesh1971]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@xplosyv]

Just found this today and I'm super excited to try this method in my classroom!

[@thaisbazzarella72]

Thank you for the hint, great way to display them and inexpensive. Congratulations on the collection also, would like to see a bit more of it!!!!

[@wtffor]

That is excellent information for collectors! Thank you very much for this helpful comment. Take care and happy hunting!

[@desireevasquez6455]

Your voice is so calming. I love it

[@jphritz011]

By far the best storage method I've seen.

[@Dstagz]

it's always good to see another collecter around

[@wtffor]

+GT6 Dogfight2014 Yes, and there are lots of us collectors around these days. This is a great time for the hobby!

[@Dstagz]

wtffor if you look around on Car Throttle you can find pics of my collection under the name of Spooled Off

[@MrWolfSnack]

I remember watching this in 2012! Very helpful!

[@killawhale8319]

[@khampa18]

[@hotwheelmanraven2289]

Dude just saw your site cool awesome room you doing I just ordered them they should be in this week I've been looking and looking for a cheap way to do it and this is going to work out great I appreciate it the hot wheel man and by the way I just scored on a good deal 70 80s and 90s Hot Wheels bought six tubs for $65 at a yard sale

[@BlitzImpulse]

Your Hot Wheels collection is the grandest I've seen! Great job on the collection!!

[@brocksimpson3963]

I never thought about using H moulds PVC eve sheet 4.5mm strips for this but it works pretty good, and looks good too👍

[@gambler143]

I looked at the video again and answered my own question. Thanks again for the video.

[@Kill-Dozer]

Thanks for the video, Love the collection.

[@48reb]

You Rock!! Spent a few hours at Lowes and I had no idea what they were called. Left without them but now I am heading back with correct name.

[@freyabinish]

Wow.. impressive collection!

[@DIRTYYETTI]

Thanks for the vid and especially the Plano case model number. I too will begin displaying like a professional now!

[@ronny3hands35]

you're awesome & such a huge help. I'm currently only on my 68th car, but seeing this video really motivated me! you're awesome dude!

[@barryallenflash1]

Thanks for the tutorial. Wife and I are living with her dad...looking for our own place, but until then my cars are in blister packs and in storage containers. I am looking to put these on plywood NOT a wall, so I'll use the same instructions, but just put them on wood instead. Thanks again!!!!

[@superrad1659]

How did yours turn out? i was thinking of doing same thing, just something not quite as permanent, less-no damage to walls etc..

[@mattluxton8802]

Awesome man!! Been looking for a cheap way to display my HW and both these methods rock!

[@kenthompson6385]

Thank you, for information on the case on your hot wheel collection. I wish you happy new year and always thank you for sharing your videos with us.

[@falcondriver100]

Holy shit you have a addiction!! Nice collection! Thanks for the info on the ceiling strap....Good idea!

[@JochenVC2]

Great tutorial, thanks!

[@bmflmf]

AWSOME! The room I've always wanted. Great vid.

[@crackdown76]

I am quickly running out of room on my walls using the pushpin method. I will have to get over the fact that all the card won't be displayed, but this is going to save a ton of space and looks great. Thanks for the how-to. P.S. That is an insane collection! I have decided to just get Mustangs, so I don't have to add-on too my house.

[@thegreenlaser215]

For new people reading this, you can set the bottom of the plastic bubble on the lower card's top edge and only obscure the card below the bubble. The main card is still displayed, but, of course, you don't save much space but you do lose the need for pins. I have my few Supers displayed like this in one of the rows.

[@CJMLPN]

This is Awesome! Great idea's will be doing in future...

[@richgeroux4652]

Thanks for your info' It was very helpful and looks pretty easy but time consuming. lol. Looks like you have an awesome collection and your past the novelist stage. Cheers!

[@ToyzNWheelz]

[@BobBerardjr772]

The title mentioned diecast. Thought it was going to show displays for 1/24 scale. I build models and was looking for such. Great collection buddy and cases, Thanks for sharing! ....Bob

[@bmflmf]

SHWEET ROOM BRO!! Yeah those Plano cases are great... They also fit my old Matchbox cars that are still in the box.....

[@OverstreetCycles]

What up man! I'm a straight newbie! I've always had Hot Wheels but never collected them, wanted a room covered in them when I was a kid(I still do). I have a son now that is a year old and I just recently started collecting a few weeks ago lol (have to start somewhere right...?) want my son's room like bed room with cars everywhere. Anyways... you videos are awsome and are helping me set up and look for the right cars! Thank you again!

[@markdelpiero5525]

the ceiling strapping stuff can be found at Home Depot , Rona. Home Hardware, most hardware stores and lumber yards www.homedepot.ca/product/exceliner-divider-bar-pvc-white-moulding-8-ft-/1000154247 it is called PVC divider moulding
