Great work! I don't sweat the paint job! Your grandson will love it. I need to restore some old beaters before my grandson gets older. Right now, he throws everything, so I have a little time.
Great work! Sure beats paying retail for a mint copy plus you have the satisfaction of bringing it back to life.
Good work. Lucky grandson.
I think it is good that your grandson gets to play with them, this will ensure another generation gets to enjoy these toys, and while these cars look great on a shelf, this is not what they were meant for. and when he is older perhaps he will clean them up and let his kids play with them.
I'm not even into hot wheels. I just love watching these videos.
Sweet! I love to see the old cars come back to life. To me they are just as valuable as the un restored cars and even more so in some cases, especially when they were ready for the trash before hand. Great Job Bro!
People who nitpick shouldn’t bother commenting. Thanks for sharing your work.
Thank you!
Little guy is going to love it! I just did a 67-68 Redline firebird convertible.I used actual Pontiac code-Q Verdoro green enamel paint that I had left over from an actual 68 GTO project.Did have to order a new windshield for it. Reused the stock wheels, just touched them up, which took a lot of time.Turned out pretty nice. Love watching your work.
the "tape" that was on it was part of the racing stripe decals it had. Back in the day instead having to put on and align 4 stickers (1 each stripe) it was 2 stripes on one sticker.
It was weird that only a portion of it was so stubborn.
well they knew how to make stickers back in the day lol
You do such amazing work and your videos are so relaxing to watch! Love your work 👍🏻
Finished product looks great. I think your painting is always right on. Better than factory sometimes. Little guy has great taste in cars. Camaro was always my favorite also.
these videos are oddly very very satisfying. Thank you
Wow! The final work looks great! I love the way it's stand with those new redline wheels! Great work!
I can watch this all day. Thanks!
Just a suggestion...the product Lime Away and a brass detail brush will shine those bare metal parts right up!
"Heavy Chevy" was Hot Wheels Collector Club membership gift car....in Chrome with black stripes. Also later the "Boss Hoss" Mustang. I still have my membership certificate.
You are going to love life when you get yourself a drill press. Another impressive restoration
I have a press but don't use it for these.
WheelsNThangs oh man I feel like you'd have a way better time getting those rivets drilled out. Just my opinion but you obviously know what you are doing. I'm sure you have your reasons 👌
Everybody's a critic lol. Keep up the good work. If your happy with it and your grandson is happy, that's all that matters.
Thank you!
Your welcome sir. I watch your videos all the time. I have found some inspiration and ideas in some of your builds for my own builds. I don't steal anybody's builds. I might incorporate some of their ideas into my builds. I build what I like with what I have available to me. Only two options matter. I hope to watch a video of you and your grandson doing a build someday.
@@beaverdamraceproductions6857 I agree, I take bits and pieces. Sometimes it hard not to just do the same type of video if your doing a restoration but I try to make it a little different. Thanks again PT!
@@WheelsNThangs Yes I agree. I myself find that I'm looking for different vehicles to do. Or I try to approach them differently. Anyway keep up the good work. You are welcome sir.
I never though about a hot wheels car restoration until I stumbled across one of your videos, and now I want to start doing it lol. Keep up the great videos sir!
Thank you!
Considering the condition in the first place I thing you did a great job, nice one 👍
Thank you!
I really enjoy watching your videos 👍😃
Te felicitó, como siempre tus trabajos son de calidad, además aprendemos para tratar de hacer algo igual. Gracias! 👍
Your grandson has great taste in cars Chevrolet & Camaro WOW the boy knows fast when he sees it.
I first started collecting Hot Wheels when they first came out. My sister was sure they'd grow in value. She all but begged me to save them in the blisters and said, if I did, she'd buy me as many as I wanted. I wonder if she'd buy me as many mint-in-mint-blister Hot Wheels as I want now? :>D
I didn't even know people fixed hot wheels cars like this, I will check the links since I'm interested and want to fix up my favorite hot wheels that I gave to my little brother THANKS :)
Also subbed, this video was really intriguing.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Diecast collecting and restoration. for most of us its just like you said, a desire to reclaim that little scale dream car from our youths, and along the path, you find so many interesting side tracks of the hobby, like customizing, or scale 1/4 or 1/2 mile downhill racing with car that are "tuned" to go as fast as possible. its an amazing hobby, with so many years of scaled down works of art and a good variety of manufacturers to choose from ;) have fun!
Thank you, I really appreciate it!
You should take a look at "diecast resurections". He re-zinc plates some of them.
I think you did an awesome job keep up the great work!
Thank you!
I used to have that car! It was a mettelic dark brown with flames. I thought it was the coolest car ever!
Looks awesome from what you started with iam amazed
Another thing you can use is brake cleaner for striping paint it works really great I use it on all the cars I repaint
Looks awesome!
paint, shmaint. you couldve painted it dark brown and it wouldnt make a difference, as from my perspective, you have taken a broken piece of art, and made it whole again, gave it a nice shiny new suit and some comfy new shoes, now it can be played with or displayed, proudly gleaming like it did the first day it came out of the blister....thanks for taking the time to share the process with us, i learn something all the time from these videos ;)
Thank you, I really appreciate it! They will all be destroyed in due time anyway thanks to a 4 year here :)
Nice work
Hey.
Dear friend ... why there is no video.
We are waiting for interesting projects.
Should have a new one in a few days :)
Best thing to use is a rock polisher with crushed walnuts. It takes off the paint, corrosion and also polishes it up. Doesn't take off any metal like a wire brush will.
Great tip! I've used a tumbler before but I've actually needed to remove metal on most of these old Redlines because the bodies were beat up so bad.
Awesome videos, thanks for making them!
My mom never let me use paint on these, too messy. I had to touch them up with my 36 colors Crayola box crayons.
I always had to sneak to paint anything.
I feel for ya.....my 48 color set got me thru rough times too
That steel wire brush scratches the heck out of those pot metal car bodies. You can see all the scratches in the body from the brusu under the ppainy. Get a less abrasive one. Such as brass maybe. harbor freight sells them for a couple bucks.
the original color..yess..that makes the car shine more
Getting that Aircraft Paint Stripper in the U.K. is tough. The postage charge from the US is twice the cost of the product. Some companies won’t ship internationally because of the contents.
:(
looks great. love the green
Thank you!
When is CZcams going to put an option to give 2 or 3 times?
Love these restoration videos man.
Looks good 👍🏽👍🏽
:) Thank you!
Looks good bro and who cares about runs in the paint. He's giving it to his 4 yr old grandson... HATERS GOTTA HATE
Thanks, exactly!
WheelsNThangs I found a bunch of redlines at a thrift store and a farbs hygear the dragster bought em all for .25 sold em on ebay..
great video love waching these.😉😃👍✌
Thank you!
Nice video as always my man
Thank you!
Looks bad ass😎
I think there was a white circle with possibly a number inside, maybe a "1", good work though.
Do a general lee restoration
That would be great… ;-)
Looks good!
Thank you!
looks very nice!
Thank you!
hey whats another way for putting the cars back together? i have a little truck and the post is so short i do not want to thread it.
You dont have the link for dremel tools and polishing cream and the new wheels replacement aswell. I dont know if those things are in another video's description but are not here. :D thank you for your understandable guide
I'll get those added!
@wheelsNThangs how long are you letting the car sit in the paint stripper? I have purchased the same stripper and was having trouble getting the paint to come off. Thanks for the help!
some paint finishes on some diecast castings are extra thick and it takes a really strong or a long multi dip bath to remove all the paint, especially those more expensive collectors hot wheels castings, i bought a can from wal mart, came with a spray bottle taped to the side, i poured it into a pickle jar, use an old hard drive magnet on the top of the lid, and some pieces of wire cut to the depth of the jar with a hook end to hang the bodies on...put cars in the goop, pull and rinse. re dip if needed ;) but it stinks so i dip outside, the spray used here in the video is waaaay better for indoors and in general for the environment ;) i will replace my goop with it next time i need paint stripper.
Usually about 15 minutes but I've let it sit for as long as an hour.
yeah i have used the walmart can spray as well and it works quiet well! i just moved however and do not have access to an outdoor hose and was needed to purchase a different brand!
Thank you! I am use to another brand that i used outside and just did not leave it on for long enough!
I have a jar I filled with CitriStrip. I'll leave a car or two in the jar for a week. My work schedule is very hectic. The paint comes right off with a toothbrush and warn soapy water. I don't even have to use my picks. Just thought I'd let you know what I do. Good luck with your projects.
Um belo Camaro!
I really enjoy watching your job. Have you tried to use ultrasound device for removing old paint? Also can to work on dirty plastic and it’s 100% safe.
I have an ultrasonic, it will clean but not remove the paint.
VERY nice!
Thanks!
I'm having a problem with finding a safe method of removing paint from plastic bodies. Do you have any suggestions as to what I could use that won't damage the plastic bodies?
Brake fluid
looks good
Has anyone seen a old camaro with a hole in the middle of the bottom of the car??? Anyone knows what that hole was for???
Liked subbed shared clicked the bell icon
Thanks, right back at ya. Now I want to make a grill out of die-cast!
I like this one!
man I wish I could afford to be able to restore hot wheels. I have so many old ones.
Just a few cheap tools can get the job done.
love the channel i'm a new subscriber and i'm sure you've heard this before but, dam you sound exactly like Billy Bob Thornton ..lol..great
Ha! I hadn't heard that. I'll take his money! Thanks for watching!
Stripper works if you let it sit for 15 or 20 minutes.
Can you polish or buff the paint on a flying colors red line without ruining the tampos thank you for your time
You'd have to do it really lightly.
Nice video!
Is it special formula paint that is suitable for baking or you can bake all paints?
No
Use carburetor cleaner to remove the paint. Go to the dollar store, buy a can for 3 bucks, stick the straw in it and spray away. It'll eat it off immediately, and there's very little fumes. I paint cars for a living, and have tried everything to clean my paint guns. Carb cleaner is the quickest and least expensive way.... On another note, I enjoy your videos of those old Hot Wheels. I grew up in a poor household, so something as luxurious as a fancy 1/64 diecast car was a rare treat!
Great info! Thanks, I really appreciate it!
Got, that right! Mom and dad could only afford those cheap tootsie toy multi car pack. I hated them! I never owned a hot wheels car. Never.
If good for stripping paint then bye bye to my gaskets on small engines😂😂😂God bless sir
dollar = $3?
Great custom job! I deffinately need a handle for the tap that i ordered. It slipped my mind when i ordered everything. If you fi d the time and can respond i appreciate it. Thanks.
This is the set I used. An allen key holds the tips in so the drivers just slip out. I think I had to drill the hole out a bit for the tap to fit.

Just a suggestion, After wire-wheeling it, you could use a 1200 grit sand paper to smooth out the ruff spots, then buff and polish. Makes the spectra-flame look much better. also instead of wire-wheeling the motor's there is a Chrome-paint pen that you can use that will give the motors a MIRROR Chrome look, I use it all the time. Also, dressing this casting up with the white strips and racing numbered decal would have given it a better look all around......Just my assessment.......Good selection on the Deep-dish bright chrome tires. They are all I use....Look me up on Facebook for my 250+ Redline Restorations.....Mark Richard Ah-Low.......
Great info! I looked you up on FB and subbed ya here!
Awesome, Thank you.....And keep up the great work...
It was a Tampa a racing strip like on the chevelles
this is IQ isikara echt very cool
Hello, can you tell me what the screws are you are using here to fix the base to the car?
amzn.to/2CdSM2o
Hello, i have a quick question about my hotwheel car. Its a 1982 camaro z28 colour switcher and i was wondering if it is special.
Thanks already.
Hmm. Not sure really. Believe it or not, I don't really collect them. All of them go to my grandson.
WheelsNThangs thanks for the answer
Could you ever use like.. a putty to smooth the body?
Yes but this is a transparent paint and would show through. The base has some be similar to chrome.
WheelsNThangs interesting, thanks! Just watched you demonstrate this on another video
Why did you not use tumbler on this project?
Just remember if you don't have haters you're not doing it right
True!
Wow really really really 🚗 and video
That wire brush on your drill set how to vids back a ways. lol.
Lol. Yep!
Wow great job , love your channel . Happy New year 2018🎉
Happy New Year and thank you for watching!
I think your work looks great. You're painting hotwheels not ferraris. Thank you for the video
What kind of polish do you use to polish the body
Mothers metal.
Good one
The. tape is the decal
How rare are these camaros? I have the same one in silver
They are pretty easy to find on eBay.
should have used the file on those edges. It needed more body work. Love that color tho...
Air craft remove might work but its a little stronger
I have some but I've just been using the orange stuff on these since it's in the basement.
Классно лайк
It's pretty gd good for what once was a dollar car.
I'm sure in 68 it was much less than a dollar!
How much dose this car cost used like that one I have two a green and a blueish green
In rough condition $5-7. Good probably around 20.
What size bits do you use?
.050 and 1/8
oh yeah
Do you not use primer on your paint jobs
Not on the transparent style ones.. Defeats the purpose with primer.
It's good but I would've went further with it
Meh... Baremetal would have worked on the body a little more to get those dings and divots out. Looks okay, but I think you'd be more satisfied with the time and effort you put into it if you worked on the body a little more and made it look like you put more effort into it. Still great though. Cool to have a restored Redline.
Yeah, I've watched a few of his in the last week or so. I don't have that kinda time on my hands and these are literally given to a 4 year old shortly after they are filmed. Thank you for the comment!
WheelsNThangs ah, I see. 👍
I have one of the camaro from a flee market all sliver body that needs restored like to send it to you to have it done get back to me with your information
Flea.
Ignore the couch referees!
How do you thin the paint?
I don't thin the Spectraflame paints.
I grew up in the era of redlines & am sorry to say I DESTROYED SO MANY WITH A HAMMER or rock....whatever was closest. I am sorry I guess, but it was fun at the time.
...just don't get me started on how many thousands worth of cards I put in my spokes
can i use sand jet ??
Too abrasive I would think.
Cool ! :)
