This is amazing! I’d love to restore one of my models. I’m wondering if you would accept a mail in? It’s a 1998 Mercedes S500. It needs paint and a wheel hub repair.

Aside from the challenge of restoration I felt that the junkyard car had much more character. Felt almost like a sacrilege to watch that masterclass diorama car getting restored.
I've been around muscle cars over 40 years. Mostly GM but I've restored some Mopars. Whoever built this, absolutley nailed how a Mopar uni body with torsion bars wheel looks on a hard hit to one corner. Bravo.
@@stuwest5862 Yeah. Google negative camber. Then work on cars for 40 years and figure out how different a mopar uni body torsion front suspension is from a GM upper and lower control arm front suspension. Then take a 2 week vacation. Then quit.
Esses caras pegam miniaturas em bom estado e destroem pra fazer esses videos de restauração. O trabalho é bem feito, mas eu acho completamente sem graca ficar destruindo e reformando.
These models look so good. The Burago cars I grow up with (in the EU) are not ugly, or lacking of details ,but still... And I had both 1/18 and 1/24 scales as well.
there is something about looking at a written off model car and its totally destroyed and then watching it being restored to its formal glory, I'm hooked on these videos man, well done man these restorations are fantastic to watch, keep them coming the before and after of these cars are catching
Seeing this video of a 1968 Dodge Dart die-cast model restoration, l now have a heads up on what is in store for me when l start working on my real 1967 Dodge Dart ! 😳
Wow,what an expensive looking diecast for someone's kid to just beat to hell like that. All the intricate parts. But you "brought it back from the dead." You did a masterful job.
Удивительно,что после таких повреждений и состояния в целом,все детали на месте. Повреждения как будто машина действительно попала в аварию. Отличное видео,респект автору!
Всегда интересовало, где ребята, которые восстанавливают игрушки, берут их в таком состоянии... Покупают новые, ломают, чуть химии, и выглядит так? Но контент да, красивый
The start up at 23:32 is sick, I remember the days of Mopar 340's, 383's, 440's and 426 Hemi's. Sweet sounding for sure. That was a great restoration, thanks for the memories.
Subscribed. As a kid I had roughly 200 model cars, trucks, boats, ships sitting on shelves in my bedroom. Several of them I carefully disassembled to give them new life. This channel totally reminds me of those days of fun. Thank you for sharing.
Wow! Great model and great job! I was especially happy to see that you didn't paint the engine bay black! I don't know what the original model was, but the radiators were black and the transmissions unpainted. BTW what did you gap the spark plugs to?
You did a fantastic restoration job on this 1968 Dodge Dart! 🤓👍 I never saw a kit car like this. It looks like you could get into it and go Saturday night cruising. I love these old cars and this bought back some sweet memories of my childhood seeing them on the road, and the way you restored it I would have never even thought of doing. A+ workmanship.

Very nice restoration. You brought this car back to life. I love the color that you chose. Its beautiful. You really are a great Craftsman/Artist. I really enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for sharing 😀
This has got to be the most detailed model I’ve ever seen, that engine block looks awesome, I love the fact that all the hoses and everything literally makes it look like someone took a shrink ray to this car
@@craigcaldwell9181 I do frequent antique stores... What does that have to do with this? I was saying the damage looks kinda like a real car crash and abandonment. But it's a diecast car.
Yo habria dejado el modelo sin restaurar y lo habria aprovechado para un diorama de un desierto o algo, el oxido que tenia era muy Bonito, y incluso el golpe parecia bastante realista
One more thing. I don’t know who cut that car to cause fake damage but they shouldn’t have. Like I said you are a great restorer and even if there’s minimal damage I still like real things and would enjoy just a refreshing of the toys.
My dad has a 63 impala he had painted plum crazy purple. It’s an awesome color. Also I love the restoration videos but please stop covering all the projects in the same dirt and mud. It makes it look like you’re trying to make the project look worse than it is. I only say this because EVERYTHING you restore has the exact same grime on it. I personally think the great skills you have fixing the actual damage is already enough to keep people interested. You’re a brilliant toy restorer and you shouldn’t make things up.
Nobody will mistreat these Highway 61 cars this way. These models are worth too much. Unless that person really WANTED his model to be this way. But anyway, I like to see the tricks on how to restore these. I would have used BareMetal foil (before installing the glass) for the chrome trim instead of the Molotow pen, as BareMetal is more durable. Nice job, thanks for the molding tips and body straightening tutorial! What paint do you use for the body?
It’s a GMP model not Highway 61. And it wasn’t mistreated. Someone went to great lengths to create a wrecked version of the car for a diorama or something. It would have been better to just buy another perfect example and put them side by side as a before and after in your collection. A lot of hard work was erased here with a lot more hard work.
I love your videos but ask, how did these cars end up so damaged? Nobody treats models to such an extent and that leads me to imagine the cars are damaged on purpose in order to be fixed later 😂
@@vmlelectronics I very seriously doubt this type of damage has occurred by leaving it alone😂More than likely, it is done deliberately in order to restore it later and demonstrate the skill of "fixing something I broke intentionally" type of entertainment...kind of like signing a peace treaty after going to war intentionally...
I love the gorgeous colour with the undertones of pink within the purple. Beautifully done. (The colour reminds me of Penelope Pitstop for some reason, but that just adds to the appeal imo.)
Mano te admiro muito. Ótimo trabalhos que você faz sempre passo um tempo quando posso vendo seus vídeos e cara são demais cada detalhe e carinho que você tem. Você é incrível meu mano, continue assim.
Such talent! Beautiful work! Wish I knew all the stuff you use like the molding solution and metal bondo. It may be common to some people but not a novice like me.You are a craftsman & artist.
given how near brand new those screws look like they are, despite how both before and after are cool. i feel like this car was deliberately destroyed to be "restored". because how the front is solid metal and even snapped off says either it was thrown off a building or hit with a hammer.
@@2degucitasEven if they are deliberately broken to be restored for the video, it still shows you it could be done even if the old item you find is a bit banged up.
You pre-bent the chassis yourself, this is clearly visible after the sandblasting. The 2 cuts, one in front and one on the side, look too clean and are done on purpose, so you could bend the chassis afterwards. You, sir, are not fooling anyone.

You think people are stupid you did this damage to this car.
I'm blown away, first by the fantastic abandoned look, then by the awesome restoration. Must be a lot of fun doing this...

The car looked cool before the restoration. Would be great in a junkyard diorama.
I thought the same thing.. I actually thought the thumbnail was the finished project at first!
It probably came out of a junkyard diorama...
I don’t understand restoring it especially if it was relic’d from the factory. Just buy an old plsyed with diecast and restore it.
All they need is a little Trump sign and some tiny cylinder blocks and welcome to Tennessee boy's!
Aside from the challenge of restoration I felt that the junkyard car had much more character. Felt almost like a sacrilege to watch that masterclass diorama car getting restored.

Torsion bars have no affect on how the fender looks after a wreck

But everything is artificial rust and broke parts
Perfect!
No annoying intro, no talking, plenty of info, beautiful shots, masterful work.
Vous etes vraiment un tres grand geni , je te tire le chapaeu , grand salut pour vous monsieur.
That is the COOLEST car model EVER!!!! Such craftsmanship and attention to detail...
for those playing @ home the plates on car PLUM 69. Plum is color, Plum Crazy Purple. and of course 69' is year of car. good job bro, peace.
I love how I went from wrecked in a high-speed chase to straight showroom floor 💓💓💓
Man I would have kept it the way it was! It was perfect lol
11:23 adds: you cant fix that, buy some parts
The guy: hold my beer
The weathering you've undone here would make a thousand army painters roll in their miniature graves 🤣 looked amazing before AND after!! Great stuff
I’m getting a Dodge Dart soon
Incrível a riqueza de detalhes desse modelo. Painéis, motor, etc... Parece que sofreu um acidente de transito realmente!

The quality of that model is far above anything I ever had as a child!
Bom

Awesome looking good like the color plum crazy purple throw back to the 70s bringing all those colored back again
It’s cool the way it is, it looks real! When you restore these model cars they look unreal, like toys!!
Well, that's because they're fuckin' toys.
Plum crazy purple stole my heart man this thing turned out beautiful
Wow! The before pics are exactly how I think of an old Dodge Dart! Old, busted, and sitting in someone's back yard!
Kinda looked cool all broken
Magnifique restauration, cette voiture est littéralement revenue d'entre les morts.
I just wanted to see the actual collision happen that gave it so much character and realism
I liked the wreck better.
Plot twist: He's the one making the cars look junky before fixing them again.
That's like a real life crash

it is not a kit, its an 1/18 scale diecast modelcar...Highway 61 is the company, 2003 release year or newer maybe
Very cool, well done.
This is brilliant, thanks! It's funny how before the restoration it seemed like the model car was in a real accident, and then left to rust.

That must have been one 70's High Speed Chase this car was in! 😅🚀
I’ve never seen a model like this before 😍 amazing restoration
Take a lot of skill doing what he's doing thanks a lot for keeping our diecast cars alive
This has got to be the most detailed model I’ve ever seen, that engine block looks awesome, I love the fact that all the hoses and everything literally makes it look like someone took a shrink ray to this car
I mean, that’s the point of models right? To look realistic while being small
@@borbleborb4586 yes but that is really detailed its not every scale cars that the engine and transmission are all seperate pieces from the body.
I've never seen a diecast car kit put together with screws before either
idk why I just sat and watched this thing but im glad I did.
What was so odd about this is that the way it was found looked somewhat how someone would find a real car that had been crashed then abandoned.
Clearly, you don't frequent yard sales, Goodwill, antique shops, and large flea markets!
@@craigcaldwell9181 I do frequent antique stores... What does that have to do with this?
I was saying the damage looks kinda like a real car crash and abandonment. But it's a diecast car.
I like the wrecked model more. Looks more original. But don't get me wrong, still like the repaired model. Brilliant
Yo habria dejado el modelo sin restaurar y lo habria aprovechado para un diorama de un desierto o algo, el oxido que tenia era muy Bonito, y incluso el golpe parecia bastante realista
Even toys back then were made out of me-tal. That became a rare material today.

May have been used in a movie scene. With the right angles and camera perspective it looks convincing.
Ummm yeah the who is him. He distresses the vehicle then restores it. No great mystery there.
I sure he not only restores but also fucks the cars up before. All these cars look like perfect diorama - models before he starts.
My dad has a 63 impala he had painted plum crazy purple. It’s an awesome color. Also I love the restoration videos but please stop covering all the projects in the same dirt and mud.

Agreed there is enough fake crap already.
best part of the video is at 1.13 when some one flushes a toilet in the background
Took somebody a lot of work to distress that model to make it look the way it did in the beginning.
A bit of a set up.
