Walmart has an "Media Shelf" I think that's what it's called. It will display 1:24 cars very well and it's less than $30 bucks. I'll try to find you a link.
From Amazon. It's made by SF Display. They have several sizes and colors:
16 car display from sfDisplays on Amazon is an awesome one! I have a few to display all of mine and love them. Highly recommend. They also have others that hold less cars.

Here’s the link. I just ordered the blm car, the 2020 warthog, and the Columbia pfg plus 2 harvick cars. So I should probably save my money lol
I’ve been using these, two 1:24 cars fit nicely on each shelf. I put clear epoxy on either end just to make sure they don’t roll off under any circumstances
CY craft 15 inch Acrylic... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07STT2HSR?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Looks like this one. I've got a few of them, they're pretty good. They don't stack quite as nicely as I wish but the price is low enough to not be a big issue.
I forget where I saw it (maybe the TRW Facebook group) but someone suggested using these for quarter panel pieces. I have them saved in my Amazon cart for my Andy Lally signed quarter panel.
Link? Is it this one?
Collectible Display Show Case Illumicase+ with LED Lights and Mirror Base and Back for 1/64 1/43 1/32 1/24 1/18 Scale Models by Illumibox MJ7710, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0842DF1J6/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_K2EN1B1T5HRHHBR56B28?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
You've got a few places online. Pattos, mikes, and eBay.
If you're looking to make your own I highly recommend using this paper. It's the best that I've used.. Sunnyscopa for inkjet printers. They hate a white option (which works good if you're looking to use white on your diecast). Or you can go with the clear (if you don't need white). After you print your decals be sure to clear cote them and let them sit for at least 15 minutes.. maybe longer. I generally let them sit for about an hour and the clear cote is dry enough and the decal is pliable still..
I feel like some custom builders are trying to gate keep by not revealing their "secrets" or methods for making better diecasts.. and in the end it really hurts the custom community. Lets all get better together and grow.

That Lipton #5 car should’ve been ran by Dale Jr at Gateway and Memphis in ‘09, but Jr chose to only do Charlotte(Klondike), Atlanta (DegreeV12), Texas 1(FASTENAL), Las Vegas(GoDaddy.com), Talladega (GoDaddy.com) and Daytona 1(Hellmanns) that year. Richard Boswell was in the 5 for Memphis. The 5 car didn’t race at Gateway and the Lipton car was driven by Mark Martin at Richmond.
Here was the #5 car schedule for 2009 Nationwide Series Season
Hellmann’s-Dale Earnhardt Jr (Daytona 1)
GoDaddy.com-Dale Earnhardt Jr (Las Vegas & Talladega)
FASTENAL-Dale Earnhardt Jr (Texas1 & Daytona2)
FASTENAL-Ron Fellows (Watkins Glen, CGV)
FASTENAL-Scott Wimmer (Darlington1, Milwaukee, Indy, Iowa, Kansas and Richmond 2)
FASTENAL-Ryan Newman (Dover1, Chicagoland, Michigan & Bristol 2)
DegreeV12-Dale Earnhardt Jr (Atlanta)
Delphi-Tony Stewart (Charlotte 2)
Klondike-Dale Earnhardt Jr (Charlotte 1)
Lipton-Mark Martin (Richmond 1)
RCCA-Richard Boswell (Memphis)
Ragu-Kelly Bires (Homestead)
**The team did not race at California1,, Bristol1, Phoenix1 Nashville1, Nashville2, Kentucky, New Hampshire, Gateway, Dover2, California2, Texas2 or Phoenix2**
​
**Martin Truex Jr couldve raced the FASTENAL car at Texas and Daytona and the GoDaddy car at Bristol1 and Nashville1, with Earnhardt Jr’s 2 races for FASTENAL being at Gateway and Memphis and Richard Boswells RCCA race being at Nashville2 and Earnhardt Jr driving the Lipton car at both Phoenix races and Kentucky, but none of this happened unfortunately) That would mean the team only missed both California races, New Hampshire, Dover2 and Texas2 in this scenario. Wishful thinking.

SFdisplay makes some really nice 1/64 cases. You can get them with or without the front door:

I have one for my Dale Sr. 1/64 collection and love it:
Personally I only have two kinds of cases: the standard ones you can get from Hobby Lobby which are fully acrylic, and this one from Amazon. The rest of my cars stay in their boxes, or are on the shelf.
On the Amazon cases, it seems like the black plastic stands themselves do not collect the residual rubber, but I have not had them for long enough to really be certain. On both types of cases, though, the clear acrylic does collect it. This is particularly bad on the fully acrylic cases from Hobby Lobby. It's almost like the acrylic is extremely susceptible to the residual rubber due to its transparency, but I'm not sure about the science of it.
Unfortunately I have not yet put down the money on a Carney Plastics case, so I can't speak to those. I feel like for what you pay I'd assume they are specially treated or something so the residue doesn't show up.
Either way, I'm just glad that my shelf and cases are further away from the heat of the sun than they were in my old place!
Myself - I make my own decals. This is the paper that I used and I would clear cote it so the ink wouldn't wash away. It's easier to wrap the whole car then make individual decals imho.
As far as stripping... I used regular old paint stripped after taking all plastic pieces off of the car. Just be careful as the stripper can case irritation if it gets on your skin and such..
Sfdisplay.com is who I bought it from through Amazon.

It's a tight fit for the trailer portion, but the mirror background is what I wanted
If you don't like the mirror, here is another option:

Not OP but also own the set, it was a pain in the ass to get the Colorado win off the base. Lionel and Monster have been getting smarter and using specialized triangle screws and topping the screws off with gobs of glue. I got a specialized screwdriver set with triangle heads on Amazon for pretty cheap. I also used the screwdrivers to pick out the glue.
So you can’t directly send pictures but if you get Imgur Google play or iOS you can post them there and send the link to the pics
I bought these adhesive LED's on Amazon. They look great! Only issue is that they get dim if you leave them on for more than a couple minutes.
Here's my current shelf setup all lit up. Wish the cases had some light in them too.
Thank you! I actually purchased the case after realizing I didn’t have the time to build one, and this is the way it came. It’s a very nice case, looks even better than I thought it would when I bought it. Here’s the link: Link
Have you checked amazon?
