Looks great Paul! I agree on the filler cars, I'm slowly restoring all of my Redlines.
Yeah I totally agree with you. I do restos and customs of redlines. The price that some of these online auctions get for filler cars is crazy.
Awesome restoration. That blue is absolutely fantastic 👍👍😊
Really nice as always. Paint seriously smooth, like the neat idea with the paper clips too
Looking awesome (after you finished with it:). Totally agree no point keeping trash on shelf.👍
Paint is awesome Paul .
All around great work as always.
WOW . Mike Espo .
Nice restoration and paint job 👌
Great tutorial on the hood repair/replacement
Nice job on the paint Paul as always...there's a few people commenting here about their bad experiences with replacement hoods so allow me to offer some advice that they should find helpful:
1- as Paul mentioned these cast items are made from. Softer material...**NEVER GO NEAR THEM WITH A DREMEL...EVER**
2 - You should NEVER file down the hinges on these delicate replacement hoods, instead focus on enlarging the hinges of the car itself...easily accomplished with files and hobby knifes
3 - one person here asked if there was another alternative....there is, stay away from any beater missing a hood....or any cast piece
It's July 2021 and the redline shop has 0 cast pieces available, SC redlines stopped offering them too
Thank you
This was amazing!! Always love a good redline build!!
Nice job on the hood. It takes patience if you want it to be perfect. I didnt thought of that method of holding the pins in place though. Thanks for sharing. Love the paint too.
This was a big help thank you for sharing your experience with me. 👍🏽
another awesome paint job. turned out awesome
Thank you Paul, that was a great lesson
Great informative video sir.... as always! Love the color change too.
I have not replaced a hood on any vehicle yet but the paperclip idea is awesome. I did not know the thing about the hoods being different lengths depending on where the car was made, that is good to know thank you. Also the Mustang turned out beautiful brother, I just love that blue it is so awesom.
thanks for the hood repair tips and love that HK custom Mustang!
Thanks for this tip Paulie, been a while but just tryin your paperclip trick on a Camaro now and really pleased with the result.
Thank you so much
Great job Paul. It looks like you have the process mastered. Drill, tap, strip, buff, paint, soak, brush, sand, polish, dip, scrub and assemble! Perfect. Have a great Thanksgiving!
@@DiecastGraveyard I don't mean to, it's like following a recipe.
Looks awesome in blue
The Stang turned out great, I keep my old hot wheels original, because I am the one who put them in that condition... Lol... Keepsakes more than anything to me, I am already a sub to ddd.... He does great work as well
Great job Paul and happy holidays to you 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Such an awesome resto!!!!
Paul, this is a great video. I am doing a hood repair on the Barracuda, and this video was exactly what I was hoping to find in order to do it right. The final result is beautiful as always.
Thank you buddy. Let me know if you have any questions.
@@DiecastGraveyard actually How do you get the old hood off. The one on the car is too damaged to repair.
I’d have to see pictures of what you’re talking about brother
@@alpizzurro7705 You have to cut the pin
Great video Paul and thanks for the tips my friend.
Fantastic 👍🏻🔥🤘🏻
Lookin' good Uncle Paulie! 👍👍 That's a great color!! 👀 Have a great Thanksgiving!! And, of course, Flitz It! 🍗
Super Restoration!
3:36...we got the paint out of the stripper...LOL!
turned out great! yeah, don't even use a hair dryer on those hoods. I make some of my own from pewter so they have a higher heat tolerance. Thanks Uncle Paulie!
Really good results.
Do you know what metal they use for their replacement parts? Pewter? Tin?
that is nice keep up the good work
Looks fantastic Paul. I am wanting to try to convert a olds 442 police cruiser to an "Olds 442" car for my collection. I had 3 growing up and gave them to my nephews in the 80s. They got played with. Lol. Have yu done this? I am curious to see how you would handle dealing with the sirens on the roof and smoothing them out. Thx Dan
Dan: I think you would be better off using a maxi taxi or a fire chief car. That way you can just file off that little piece of metal on top and not have to worry about filling the hole with the police cruiser.
Very cool. Nice work!
Great stuff Bro....
I am so glad you did one for today's episode. I love them and you made one awesome in blue
From my experience? These redline shop metal parts are TOTAL garbage. I wouldn't pay a penny for one. I had one *crumble* in my fingers. Just get another car for parts. Anyway... NICE job my friend. The paper clip idea is awesome and WORKS 🙂
@@DiecastGraveyard For $9? I'd rather buy a parts car off eBay and fix it right. I used barely any pressure and the piece of junk I bought crumbled in my hand. maybe they changed the recipe now, I dunno.
If you used a dremel on it that would be the problem
@@maximojoe7398 Nope, didn't touch it with a tool.
Great tutorial 👍
Cheers, enjoyed!
awesome
Paul you have a worldwide audience ! I'm based in the UK so do you have a link for the amazon UK shop ? This saves on delivery cost and delivery times .
Regards
Nice job, as usual. Any idea what the metal is that's used on the hoods, is it pewter? Have any luck getting your glass to be blue? Keep up the good work.
It’s actually Bismuth. It has a very low melting point and it is a little softer than most metals. The reason being is that it’s low melting point allows you to pour the metal into rubber balls without the mold melting.
I have a question how long did it take for you to get the bearings from Gritz
Lindo ❤️
my name is paul🤣🤣🤣
Why use a crap hood that breaks and doesn’t fit? Is there no better option?
Yeah...avoid any beater that requires a replacement hood...period
