"Whattadrag" BMW Isetta Hot Wheels Car

    In November of 2004, Bruce Weiner approached John Eversley of Envermoor with a simple Hot Wheels Toy. Bruce handed John the 1:66 scale toy and asked, "Can you build this?" After looking at the toy, John simply replied, "of course we can." Four Months later, We delivered Bruce's "Whattadrag" at his 2005 Microcar Rally at the Microcar Museum in Madison, GA. Take a look at our start to finish Project Gallery below. From design to fabrication, brakes to supercharger, this monster burns rubber, spits flames, and drops jaws!
