Here’s where the shelves come from:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/2207707...active_7&crt=1
It takes about a week to arrive.
I have three of them now.
There are several sizes available too.

Here’s a few close up pictures of the Porsche 356 & VW Transporter T1 pickup.
Dates on the bottoms are 2014, but I never saw them until a couple of months ago.
I saw several locally just a few days ago after Christmas.
If I run across them again, I‘ll pick one up for you if you wish.
Theyre on the unfinished shelf. (Masked and ready for stain)
I want to stain the shelves today, but my wife doesn’t want me to be exposed to stain (“could cause cancer to come back”) and wants to do it for me.

Whoops! Posted this in the wrong thread, apologies...
All four wheels Hunter Road force balanced and rotated Saturday, then today had my second free alignment at the Firestone on Culebra/1604. Firestone has a $299 lifetime alignment. I spent many hours calling around town to find one that had the right equipment for my 03 C2. Get this, the technician is Mr. Carrera, yes, his name is really Jack Carrera! (and he loves Porsche's!)

Great info! Thanks. You have a smart wife. I've been using Varathane water-based stain+poly which works great and is (I think) a lot less problematic (being water based). It's harder to find a water-based stain only, Behr used to make it, but they stopped carrying it. I was able to find the Transporter on eBay after you provided the name, so it's on the way. Here's a photo of our homemade rack:
I like the glass; no dusting required.
I also like your “Authorized Dealer” sign.
Here’s my shelves...staining coming soon.
...and most of the rest of my Porsche collection.

I got a GT3RS...
It's an RC!
I also got a Carrera S...
...and a 917 & 918 Spyder...

..and a 5-shelf display to hold my ever expanding collection of Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, and VW Hot Wheels...and a few Asian & Domestic Hot Wheels.
It needs to stained before being hung next to the other two in my office.
I'll end up with five shelves for Porsches, five shelves for BMW/VW/Mercedes, and 5 shelves for Asian & Domestics.
Here's one of my 5-shelf displays that is already stained...and full of Hot Wheels.
I'm also building a couple of new shelves for my larger Porsche models.

I could buy multiple REAL 996s for some of the top prices.
I started collecting BMWs, Porsches, VWs, and Mercedes AMG a couple of years ago.
I now have 5 shelves dedicated to Porsches and 5 shelves dedicated to BMW, VW, and Mercedes.
The last 5 shelves are for Domestic & Asian.

Not so much Christmas but on New years day I drove up the Loch Lomond road to the 'Rest and be Thankful' pass on the way to Inverary. Beautiful day, almost completely empty roads, what a great way to begin 2019. Happy New year everyone.
2019 New Years day Scotland.

Very cool. I had to pick up a green 934 and the 2002 after looking at your photos. At first I thought it was a Datsun 510 , but then realized it was tucked in with a bunch of BMW's and had to be 2002. I used to have a "1:1 model" of a 510, but it doesn't look like Hot Wheels makes any cool 510's (from a brief eBay search at least).

...but it might have been another company.
I saw it yesterday at WalMart.
