I still like the look of screws over rivets plus it makes it WAY easier to make changes later.
It does. I’m just going to be using these on some of the Redlines
I was just looking at a restored car and saw the rivet method and I was scratching my head wondering how the hell did this guy restore this car without opening it up…I’ve been using screws and it’s a pain in the ass taping the hole and praying the screw will hold it together tight,I’ve made some ugly blunders learning how to restore these old hotwheels cars.. thanks to your video hopefully I can move up a notch in my restos. Thanks and I’m subscribed now
Thank you, I appreciated it! It's a fun hobby for sure!
"That's what she said"......LOL. Perfect use!
:) It never gets old to me. I've used it on my other several times in the past also. I'm silly!
Hahaha i died with that quote.. 😂
@@WheelsNThangs When you paused, I knew what you were going to say, but I still groaned when you said it. Well-played, sir! :D
@@TheRealColBosch Hehe
Should have saved it for the next line "Were gonna take our tweezers and guide it into the hole"
I sell the custom ones I restore as "Vintage custom" and by using the screws it makes for easier ID by customers in the know. Sure the rivot ones look more authentic but I steer clear of them for fear someone might think I'm pulling a fast one. I use these as you showed when I get asked to a complete 100% restore or for the ones in my collection, and they really make it easier over threading for the screws. Great video!!
Very informative, thank you for the great video!
Wow. What a unique and perfect way to get that original look. Enter the applause.....
Thank you!
Happy Wednesday to you as well.
Not bad! It does appear to be like the original rivets😎👍
The rivets look almost identical to the originals. This sweet 16 set is going to turn out so nice👍😊
Thank you!
Great video!! Thank you for sharing
Thank you for watching!
Mooi gedaan bedank heb ik nodig
Very Good 👏😊
great tip
Very nice!
Thank you!
I like your out take at the end. Lol. Sounds like me.
😀
Put glue on the tip of it you may end up having some trouble getting it back out of her if that is what she said!! I am sorry to see that you have to use tweezers for yours @WheelsNThangs ! However it appears you are very good with the use of the tweezers!
Ha! Funny Adam 😂
Cool,now that ending was perfect.how many of us been there , and most definitely will be again?
Ha! Yeah, things like that happen quite often!
Nice 👍
I want to customize a hot wheels with a plastic base I dobt have those supply's but I did use screws and small torx heads and it kinda worked do you have any idea that I can use ti finish getting to the frame of the car
Thanks for the help now I can possibly restore my couger
Thank you for watching!
No chance.... Cougar lost it and turned in his wings 😆
hmm.. looks alright, but I like the screws better. Looks cleaner and is more practical in my opinion
Yes, screws are more practical especially if you plan on taking it back apart.
What machine or tool do I need to install the rivits , how come no one ever shows that part 🤔
What size drill bit did you you?
Would use the dremel to take out the squashed part of the post work if you'd use screws too? Because, in the end, you still drill in the post.
You certainly can. I typically just use a drill bit because the screw is a bit larger than the post and covers up imperfections.
That came out looking really nice. A lot better than using screws.
It takes a bit longer but I think it's worth it in the end.
What do you prefer - the button head screws or the fake rivets? I think I’d prefer the button head screws. Yeah they might not seem as original looking as the rivets, but at least you can unscrew the base and do additional restoration or customization to the car or do a repaint if that’s what you like. I mean the rivets you’re pretty much done and can’t do any more to the car, so you really have to be sure everything is as what you like for your restoration or custom
Overall I like the button head screws much better. With the redlines I will probably use the rivets just because I don’t plan on taking them back apart.
Cotton Texas Yes, I guess you could call it “fake” but this is more for someone that is collecting for a person collection and not a resell. To restore 50 years from now it would be no more difficult than originally, probably easier by just prying the car apart depending on the glue used.
Have a good day , bro B )
You too!
But will it hold in a race?
Fascinating. I truly had not expected that degree of respect for the original creator.
Side Note: awful sound. Is that my machine or yours?
If you’re taking about the horrible static on a few shots it was something to do with my mic. I mentioned it in the description.
What about the screw on rivets? Are they installed the same way?
Yep.
Aah ....son of a ..... 😜👍🏻 thx !
Thank you for your help brother and if anything keep the jokes coming LOL that's what she said
Jose Bonilla 👍
Saludos
nice tip! (that's what she said)
Ha!
That's what she said 🤣🤣🤣✊🏽
Now we are going to take our tweezers and guide it into the hole.
That's actually what she said
Jeff McQ yeah, I had a lot of opportunities.
@@WheelsNThangs Right on.I watch all your vlogs bro
Thanks Jeff!
Has anyone said you sound vaguely like H. Jon Benjamin?
John Schilling hmm. I until now.
That's tips
1+ for "That's what she said."
That's what she said😂😆😂😆😂
Guiding it in with tweezers would have been the better that's what she said! 😂
Haywood Jablome yeah, I had a lot of opportunities 😜
I know that and so do you as well as the other experienced collectors. But the others that haven't been collecting long won't be able to tell the difference.
Lanny Floyd true
How do I go about donating a car for restoration? Not a car I want back just a donation to the channel
Just shoot me an email. wheelsnthangs@gmail.com Bedtime for me so if you send something tonight I may not respond until the am. Thank again!
@@WheelsNThangs I'm off to bed as well. Ill send you an email tomorrow.
Good

Screw is better
That's what she said
Darry Jenner lol
8118th. Nice video.
Oh boy! This product might cause a problem for us honest collectors to spot restored classic hotwheels. Yikes!!
Lanny Floyd I doubt it. You can still tell a difference. Original redlines have a smaller rivet.
Don't pay mad prices you won't be mad ... simples
