i used two old plan drawers. framed them in the back ( now the right side). notched and installed dividers for 250 cars per panel. piano hinged the two together and wall mounted. dowels across the front of the divided sections in the front so the cars won't come out when opened to get at back layer. added a wire and turnbuckle (Z like a barn door) to the rear of the front panel so weight won't take it out of square. has a latch to keep it closed when not in use. my son quickly loaded it and only has a few unfilled spaces.

Nice!! I love that set up!

I used to collect hot wheels in the 90's. I have over 5000. But mine are still in the package and I keep em in old corona boxes. Lol.

Very cool! My hat is off to your son if he keeps them all in there, my sons cars were always underfoot....

My cars were to wide to fit on the rack like that. I had them flat stacked, but back then they were actual type set trays...so depth was shallower.
