Just amazing how much time and effort goes into these projects. Lots of respect.
Agreed
that fade at 2:10 made my soul happy 😂
Great work as always! 👌
Solder job wasn't clean, tried to fix it, lost the part. baremetalHW literally keeping it real. :) That's exactly what would happen to anyone else trying to do a similar job. Love your videos, man
Yep
Thats coz BM is the og
I don't remember when I arrived at this channel, but I am so very happy I did. While I may not collect die-cast cars; I whole heartily appreciate the enthusiasm and dedication to this hobby. It helps motivate me to get some of my own projects done and I can not thank you enough for that.
Looks great. Thanks for sharing the tip. A model done in copper plating would be cool.

Now I have the idea to do a bere metal model I copper plating
You, Sir, are a modern alchemist That is truly powerful magick you possess! A great restoration and more experience in reversing the effects of time on diecasts!
Ouch, I remember these old beasties on the streets of London, mixed in with the newer types that were becoming the norm, creaky and quite worn out by the 70's but still workable until the FX4 (Cockney Cab II) became the only cabs available. Quite funny is Dr Who's Daleks used the roof indicators off of these taxis, the BBC were masters of cheap tat as props.
Lol, dude you're gonna be confusing 'em into thinking a Cockney Cab was an actual thing. Naughty boy, made me laugh, though. Haven't I seen those indicators on old Landrovers and Morris Minors too?
@@stevewatts3502 Hackney Cab is what we say in the UK.
Yer, is what I was saying... derived from Hackney Carriage. Not being born within the sound of Bow Bells myself, dunno if I would be totally copus with "Cockney Cab" if I was... but, we Brits can take the mickey out of ourselves with no drama. (er, mostly;)
Beautiful job repairing this casting. This would be perfect for cracked A pillars.I Always look forward to your videos.
The advertising for other channels is outstanding! SOCIAL Media at its best💐❤️🤗
Turned out beautiful. For soldering, just be sure that both parts you want to solder together are hot enough, and remember that solder will flow in the direction of the heat source. If you hold the iron at the top of a crack and feed the solder in at the bottom, it’ll actually run upwards towards the source. Be sure your iron’s tinned when you head in (helps transfer heat into the part) and that’s all there is to it
Another great video. Glad to see you've added a new tool. Just a word of caution. Always wear rubber gloves when working with a fiberglass brush, make sure there's water involved. Some running water or with a container of water near by to keep things wet. Cause you don't want to inhale any of the fibers. Fiberglass splinters are near impossible to remove, have used this on and off for 38years.
Looks great! Love the way you shut down the haters right up front!
Best to ignore them all together
Love your videos and projects. You are very skilled as a modeler, video editor and narrator. Very enjoyable to watch and learn.
Yes soldering (sod-er-ing) is the way I pronounce it too. I think your problem may be that the copper plating isn't getting into the void in the crack. After you do the plating the solder should flow into the void, but the raw metal is still there. All you are doing is covering the crack which will join the metal but not be 100%. If there was a way you could enlarge the crack and get the copper to plate the inside it'll work a lot better. Then of course you run the risk of breaking the part. If you watch the video closely you an see the flux then the lead melt and flow around the joint BUT not flow into the crack. You are making what we call a cold joint. That is a joint where the solder doesn't flow well. It is a good procedure though. I'm retired after 40 years with "The Bell System" and soldered nearly every day for most of my time. The model came out great.
Only some Brits say the L, and all Americans drop it:
Brit. /ˈsɒldə/, /ˈsəʊldə/, /ˈsəʊdə/, U.S. /ˈsɔdər/, /ˈsɑdər/
Very cool technique you have for repairing these cars. Looking forward to future restorations as always.
You really have a talent in the restoration of these models! Your videos are beautiful and interesting! The only detail that somehow does not fit on this model is the sticker, but maybe I'm just wrong. Thanks for the video!
I really liked the look of this car after the new paint. I think it’s the way the bright body finish shins through the translucent paint on all the many high spots in the car.
Thanks for all the good videos.
I like the way the details pop under the paint
The soldered bumper looks great!
It's just not where you live, it is as you say it. lol, I would have gotten smacked upside the head as a kid if I had said "soulder" a second time. Interesting, I had been thinking just that, to try and get a different surface, such as copper, to work with. As always, Your video is worth the time to watch!
Top Job Fella. I too use your method for soldering diecast, have done for years and it never fails.
You're awesome, you're the Bob Ross of diecast restoration.
I have become addicted to watching you restore these cars .
Very nice resotration
Who in the hell downvotes a video like this? You videos are always awesome and appreciated.
Nice restoration. I never knew that Hotwheels made their version of the iconic Austin FX3 Taxi from the late 40's, you live and you learn.
Indeed a long time consuming restoration but enjoyable to see the finished spendour of a classic taxi Very good video Thanks
You’re awesome man, I love the hard work, and dedication, you put into your models, they’re amazing, love your channel man.👍👍😁
Great job. That's a sweet C. cab.
A beautiful restoration - and I learn so much thank you
WOOT A new Baremetal Video :)
Got it done through 'blood' sweat and tears. Looks amazing! Great work. Love that color on this car.
Love the color. Great job. Enjoyed that very much. Excellent. Thank you. 👏🖒♱😼🙄
Great color choice....looks sharp
Nice one. Paint came out just right.
Your restoration looks fantastic. I can’t even notice the repairs. Thanks so much for all of the tips and for posting the video. Take care.
The restored model looks great
I have a few broken diecast cars that I need to repair. I have used glue in the past but glad to see a better method of repair going forward that I can try myself
That looks great, the color really pops.
Like nite and day, considering what you had to work with. Good job and thanks for the video. Keep on rolling!
You can't even notice that one day the car was even broken,nice one and thanks for the amazing video!!
a great hobby to somewhat prolong a part of childhood
I love your vids man keep it up 👍🏻👌🏼
9n is the best 😜
Dude! Danny's Diecast Disasters is AWESOME! Those are some straight-up SHTF post-apocalypse, Hellbilly Delux rigs!
Thanks for the link! Instant subscription!
Soder is something you drink, sometimes served with icecream. Could also be where Thomas the Tank engine lives... I'm in flux about the issue. I like me a Cockney Cab, Guv'ner. I've never seen one in the most common color you see them In England which I thought was black. Love to see you customize one in the future. Happy Easter.
Super retorasin cool😊
Welp I'm about to start restoring redlines these videos I have gotten more addicted to than just watching em for fun
Love the color. Great job!
I am in the process of getting into Hot Wheel restorations. I found your channel, watched this video and am excited to see more as I have time. Thank you!!
My first restoration will be a custom C3500. The body has several cracks. So, here goes.
Magnificent work. Great color too.
Lots of work on this one. Looking good.
Looking amazing, love your efforts to making the car new again. Thank you for sharing your story. God bless you and your family
Turned out great.
I like how the paint looks shaded in different areas.
I've never heard solder said any other way than "sodder." I suspect it's those same people who enunciate the crap out of certain words just to be different and kinda douchey.
Wonderful restoration. Still killing it. Keep up the good work.
If British and "kinda douchey" mean the same thing to you, yes, then you are right.
Ever thought of branching in to restoration of other stuff, I think you would be really good at it. You have a God given talent
It looks great and the technique for soldering is very helpful. I saw Danny's Diecast Disaster Mad Max tanker and it looked great. Thanks for the new technique.
I think you did great with this, no worries. Looking forward to future episodes.
I hope you never quit CZcams
It will forever amaze me how much work goes into these, but in the end it's all worth it, as they look awesome! Thanks for another great video as always. :)
Great job . Looks fantastic !
Copper plating now!? Would have never considered that! Sheesh man! You impress me every time!
"Saw-der" here too.
Bætnet
Same here
To me, as long the parts are glued together....that's good enough for me!
You did alright with the soldering 👍🏻
Nice work! I love the way you copper-plated it and soldered that! it came out great
Nice restoration! I like this casting. 🙂
FINALLY. The master imbues us with his knowledge!
Great to see you still honing your skills, kudos!
Your videos are hypnotic
Awesome video, awesome end result!
Awesome restoration!
I love all of your ideas
That came out great. Looks mint
Great result 🙂
One of my favorites,, love those red lines👍🏻
As always, another great video!
Awesome as always , cab came out great . Great video , Mike Espo......
Thanks for sharing - always looking forward to your videos, & you don't disappoint.
One of the only channels on CZcams that makes me genuinely excited to see a new upload, keep doing what you’re doing man!👍😃
So... copper plating the die cast parts is the secret! Sweet job! My two cents - at 5:57, there was not enough flux on the parts. Whenever solder does not want to flow, more flux is usually the solution. Keep up the good work! Great channel!
Wow! Awesome job!😎👍
Fabulous restoration work. Great paint job, and I really love the color.
Awesome repair work!! Looks great, and as always your paint job is second to none!! Thanks for the great ideas on repairing diecast.👍👍
Your posts is really exciting.
It's a real beauty, nice work
Awesome transformation. Every video of yours, I always learn something new.
The magenta paint job really suits this one, nice work
One of your best restorations! Just great!
getting real slick with the editing! and the car came out gorgeous (as always). love your work!
I can see a lot of love went into this! Nice
I don't collect diecast cars... but I totally want one of these (even if it was a semi-cheap repro) in spectraflame cherry red!
Excellent work, I've been wanting to try chopping and/or channeling vehicles, and being able to solder them will make it so much better.
The magenta looks very nice :)
Absolutely stunning,you are the man.
I love your videos I like how you bringing back these old Hot Wheel cars
Good job, looks good as well.
Very nice- I like the color
nice job you are great teacher a hug
even though i have seen you do things before I still like watching all the steps :)
Pretty nice job!
I love the purple!
