Follow a clear order to build the Mattel Brick Shop Hot Wheels Cadillac Project GTP Hypercar, from sorting decals to fitting wheel covers and displaying the metal car.

Quick answer

Build the Mattel Brick Shop Hot Wheels Cadillac Project GTP Hypercar by sorting parts first, then assembling the main body, applying decals before the wheel covers, and finishing with the metal signature plate and matching metal car.

Why build order matters on a 1:32 display model

This is a 1:32 scale display model, not a pull-back racer, so the goal is a clean shelf look rather than play durability. Decals and wheel covers sit on the outside, which means any handling after they go on risks smudges or misalignment. Doing the structural build first and the cosmetic parts last keeps the finish sharp.

The set includes two sets of wheel covers and a metal signature plate, so you have choices to make before you start. Decide which wheel cover style you want and where the plate will sit, because changing your mind after the decals are pressed down is harder than choosing up front.

What the set does and does not tell you

The catalog lists decals for customisation, two sets of wheel covers, a metal signature plate, and an exclusive matching metal car, but it does not list a piece count, age rating, or build time. Treat the instructions in the box as the authority on part order, and use this guide for the handling and finishing decisions the instructions usually skip.

Because no option types are supplied, assume the set is one configuration. If you want a different wheel cover look, that is a styling choice you make during the build, not an add-on you buy separately.

Step-by-step build sequence

Sort and check the parts: Open the bags onto a tray and group parts by type before building. Check the decal sheet and both wheel cover sets are present and flat. Common mistake: building on a soft surface where small parts roll away or decals crease. Photograph the decal sheet before use so you can reorder placement if a decal lifts.
Assemble the main body first: Follow the box instructions to build the core body and chassis, leaving off the wheel covers, decals, and metal plate. Press each connection firmly until it seats. Common mistake: rushing the body and finding the shell flexes when you later press decals on. Do a gentle squeeze test on the finished body; if it flexes, reseat the loose connection before decorating.
Choose and fit one set of wheel covers: Pick one of the two supplied wheel cover sets and fit it before any decals go near the wheels. Keep the second set bagged for a future change of look. Common mistake: mixing covers from both sets, which leaves an uneven stance. If a cover sits proud, lift and reseat it rather than forcing it, or the rim edge can mark the body.
Apply decals with a dry test first: Place each decal on the body without pressing to check alignment, then press from the centre outward. Work one decal at a time and keep fingers dry. Common mistake: pressing a decal down before checking it sits straight against a body line. Leave decals to settle for a few minutes before handling the model again.
Fit the metal signature plate: Attach the metal signature plate last, on the flat area the instructions show, so it does not interfere with decals. Common mistake: placing it over a decal edge, which lifts the decal. Check the plate sits flush before pressing; a tilted plate is hard to straighten without marking the body.
Display with the matching metal car: Set the built 1:32 model and the exclusive matching metal car side by side, keeping the spare wheel covers and decal sheet stored flat. Common mistake: storing loose decals in a drawer where they curl. Keep the model out of direct sun to slow decal fading and cover fading.
