One Slick Goldfish

As it happens I found a Fast Fish that I had 'borrowed' the wheels from some time ago and I thought I would see if I could swap out the wing for something a bit more 'fishy'.  I noticed that the wing on the Hot Wheels Asphalt Assault featured posts that were the same length apart and it seemed like it would compliment the overall look of the car.  After a bit of whittling with my hobby knife, this is what I came up with.

While I had the car apart I decided to throw on a set of Johnny Lightning wheels.  With mag style rims and a new larger wing this modern muscle car is ready to take on all comers.

Blow Fish - this Fast Fish just got faster!

From its debut in 2008 I have been a huge fan of Hot Wheels Fast Fish.  The sharp lines and hockey stick graphics offer insight into a likely source of creative inspiration - the Plymouth Barracuda.  While Plymouth may not be around to put the modern muscle twist on the 'Cuda that didn't stop Fraser Campbell from giving it a go.  Campbell really hit a home run, and the Fast Fish looks fast just sitting still.

After something of a hiatus I began looking for some cars to put under the knife.  Normally the Fast Fish, among others, would be safe from my Frankenstein-like tendencies, but I happened to have found a particularly beat-up specimen that needed a little love. Mad scientist love, to be exact.

What was born from the high-pitched whine of my Dremel - the Blow Fish!

Sure, she still looks a bit crude, as I really made no effort to tidy up her bruised form, but I did give her some power.  Massive power.  With a new supercharged engine donated by non-other than Johnny Lightning himself the Blow Fish is ready to take on all comers!
