Made this for my DH.  He has a large collection of hot wheel and matchbox cars.  

Hope you like it.

That is sooo cool.  My son has a collection and I would love to do this for him.  WHat did you use for the tracks?

Thanks for the comments.  I had a blast making this.

List of materials are as follows. Materials purchased from Home Depot.

Outside rail: 070673863561 Capwhite867 8'  $2.67   FRP/TILE CAP

Inside rail   : 070673858864 DVDWTE855 8' $2.67   FRP/TILE DIVIDER

Luan or 1/4" Plywood

Wood Glue

Paint or leave natural your choice.  

 

I just played around with arranging the cars until I liked what I had, then glued down the dividers.

 

Hope this helps.

IT does, thank you so much. right now my son's (who is in the army) collection is in a plastic tote under my bed to keep it safe.  I would love to display those in our spare room so he can enjoy them when he comes home.
