A decision was made to compile one post featuring diecast vehicles that have been rescued and "restored". To bring these models back to some sort of meaningful existence, they will utilize various parts and pieces from imaginable and unimaginable places. The array of models will be different in respect to maker, scale and body styles. They will be both orthodox and/or unorthodox upon completion and, hopefully, interesting to many. I have posted many times to this "Everything Diecast" section, so in putting these types of posts here in one specific post, it will simplify the many-different-posts situation and consolidate them all into this one particular spot for a better categorization.
Thanks for looking...
