Backyard Conversions: About Us
We specialize in taking your 1:18th diecast cars and doing custom conversions to your specifications to them. We can give your cars a genuine rusted out look, damaged fenders, the look of a new clip, broken windshields, correct color primer spots and authentic bondo patches. We can also turn your hardtops into convertibles with a molded boot that fits the car. Our work is done with all of the correct tooling...not chopped up with a dremel tool. All of our work is done inhouse and is NOT farmed out. Dealers, if you are looking for something new and fun to do with stock you have on hand contact us to learn more. We will also do one of ones for personal collections. 
 ATTENTION DEALERS: We have just purchased a pad printer and can now do any type printing you need We can do stripes or any printing on any surface. Call for details.

This is a Printa Tampo printing machine. For replacing graphics, names, emblems on all finishes. Many things can be done with this machine besides stripping and replacing graphics etc. on cars.
