  • In this video I restore a car for my wife's co-worker Chuck. This poor 1969 Heavy Chevy Camaro is in really bad shape but I think I was able to get it back to a "near like new" condition.

    I think if I'm the owner of a Matchbox or Hot Wheels car from my childhood, I would absolutely want to restore the one I owned as a child, and not go buy one from eBay... so really, the service you are doing for Chuck is far more important then just replacing an old car with a new one... There's no replacing sentimental value👍

      And these restoration videos are a huge help

      I wish I had some of my childhood redlines, I don’t really even know what happened to them.

      Absolutely this. Pounds, shillings and pence can't buy sentimental value!

      @BartJ583 Well When I was younger I had a car that I really loved and the reason it got beat up is BECAUSE I loved it so much, I brought it everywhere, The doors and hood were missing and the only time I got rid of it was when My parents got divorced and it was thrown out in the move. So maybe he just liked the car enough that it did get damaged, sometimes it just happens

      I'm the youngest of three brothers, My pocket money, lunch money all went in the Toy shop directly over the road from school so along with hand me downs I had infinite "Sentimental," Cars that when i left home My Darling Mother donated to Charity!

    WoW that one had been through the war. Im a watchmaker, that specializes in antique pocket watches. I fully understand the sentimental aspect of restoring. People will bring a 7 jewel watch that belonged to a grandparent to get it serviced. 7 jewel watches are just not economically worth repairing as the shafts for the gears are in metal and not jewel bearings so the holes get oblong. They have to be drilled out and bushings added. It can cost $500 for a badly worn watch. For that you could get a 21 jewel railroad watch. But that wouldnt have belonged to a family member.

      It may not be the most damaged one, but it's certainly right up there with the others.....Every single time I see them in this kind of shape, I'm almost surprised he's able to restore them so well.....and then I remember just how much experience he has doing this, and the surprise goes away.....He's talented and gifted at this! That much is certain!

    @Narcosis71 Před 5 lety +1

    I know it would be easier to just buy a $10 one from somewhere, but the fact that it was "resurrected from the dead" makes it all the more pleasurable. We are living in a throw away world, so I'm glad that there are people out there still reviving old treasures.

  • @thereallantesh
    @thereallantesh Před 5 lety +5

    Considering how bad that car was it came out absolutely fantastic. I like the you pointed out the need to balance the sanding vs living with some imperfections, and filling in what others that you can. I've watched some of your previous videos where some of the cars were over sanded as you mentioned. The approach used here is certainly preferable. A car that isn't as beat up would have much better results too. Overall I'm very impressed with your work. Keep it coming.

    My son and I fixed a t-bird up that I had as a child. The windshield had a big crack in it. I painted it with blue tint spray paint, hiding the crack. It wasn't a restoration to your level, but it looks pretty good with it's new wheels and paint. He plays with it all the time.

    I have never been into cars or owned any hot wheels and I have no idea why CZcams suggested your video to me but I am hooked.
    There is something cathartic about what you do, I feel really good when I see a toy that has seen a *lot* of love get even more.
    Please keep making these extreme restoration videos. Sure, it might be 10 bucks at the shop but it doesn't have a story like this car does!

    I still have my Chrome 69 Heavy Chevy that came in my Hot Wheels club membership. The other club car that was available was the Chrome Cougar I think. Mine is not as bad as this one but the stickers came off quick with play back then and I smoothed out the wheels with all the skidding on the fireplace hearth. Thanks for these restos as they look great!!!
