Building the
"World's
Fastest" Evo
-
2010 Hot
Wheels
Summer Smash
Aug 19-22,
Warwick,
Rhode Island
Built for
the 2010
Summer Smash
in Rhode
Island -
Downhill
Challenge
Race
What started
out as an
engineering
challenge
for us, we
have found
out this
baby is too
low to the
ground and
will not fit
on the
standard
downhill
track.
So I'll
personally
build
another one
with a lot
of cutting
and
adjusting,
and
hopefully
with enough
ground
clearance to
make it to
the finish
line.
1st Place
for this
Summer Smash
Downhill
Challenge
will be this
original EVO
built for
the race! A
1' off EVO
SS with the
CNC'd Brass
Rims, plus a
Pre-production
EVO "BIG
TOW"
Rules are:
Anything
goes as this
race is the
"World's
Fastest
Challenge"
But- The
vehicle must
be
technically
altered and
cannot be
stock.
Technically
altered mean
it must be
drilled out
with some
form of
modification
for speed.
MAIL-IN
ENTRIES ARE
ACCEPTED!!
As of today
8/4, I have
not started
on the Race
Version!
So get busy,
it shouldn't
take you
that long to
build
something
for speed.
Your entry
will be
shipped back
to you free
of charge.

The KUSTOMCITY®
EVO
"GT" DRAG BUS!!
Dubbed: "The Bubble-Nose" Type II
Transporter
October
2007 (Sold out)
Introducing
the All-New KUSTOMCITY®
EVO GT DRAG BUS!
The
"Premiere 500," will make its first
performance this Sunday, Oct 7th at 9
a.m. Pacific Time. We managed to
squeeze off only 500 units for this
production run.
From the
chassis of the "EVO SS," this panel drag
bus was created with so many slight
changes including the arched "bubble-nose",
to a straighter side fender rails that
differs from the "SS" model. What
was the most time consuming part of
designing this casting was the sleek
rear wing. Many plaster prototypes
was rejected until it all came together.
If I recall, there was like a total of 5
different prototypes made to get
this bus looking as sleek and as low as
possible before we started cutting the
metal tool. I dubbed this "The
Bubble-Nose". Just love way this
turned out.
To design
and engineer this bus takes more time
than one would think and more time than
I planned, but we engineered this one
until everything came together...

the Beginning:

Product Descriptions:
Introducing the EVO SS Concept Drag Bus. This KUSTOMCITY®
- Dave Chang Design™
Drag Bus that you see took well over 1 year to just get it right
to perfection. Slowly but surely, from the ground up, I
had the pleasure of total creative control and co-engineered
every aspect and every part that you see, including the
exquisite, high-quality "diamond plate" display case that just
brings this top of the line adult collectible all together.
These EVO's are manufactured in our factory in China and will be
produced in "real" limited-edition numbers, only 984 total!
And each will be consecutive-numbered with it's very own
"brush-metal", "Seal of Authenticity" Collector Label to
distinguish and document each KUSTOMCITY®
EVO.
The "Artist's Proof Series" as shown will feature some of the
hottest talents with their artwork plastered all over the EVO's!
Each will be deco'd through the tampo (pad print) process.
Very much a Limited Edition Numbered Artist's Prints, thus the
"Artist Proof" Series. It's a mix of art on a diecast
canvas. The First Issue of this release is the Dave Chang
I & II.....more

May
2008 -
Take a good look at the "Auto-Stretch Rods" series produced by
M2. I was approached by this newly formed diecast
company to do some graphics on some of their cars. I
was quite honored to be part of their line and very
impressed with the quality of the diecast cars they
produced. They really know how to make a great
product, and why not? They been in the industry for
quite some time.
This line (the Auto-Stretch Rods) will have, of course,
diecast metal bodies and chassis, along with opening hood
and doors! There will be six different officially
licensed Stretch Rods produced by M2! Be sure to check
them out and add them to your collection. I am
confident you will enjoy these, they are that cool!
Killer Kustom...
It's been a pleasure watching this custom '57 Bel-Air Wagon
evolve slowly throughout the years...
