Hello Fam, I like this video even though its not a crazy build. I had a nice day of chillin and fixing up the body work on that thing. I'm looking forward to working on the next project. Hope you show your support and leave a live for your ol' dad here. Have a great day! 🍺🍺👍👍👌
Hey how’s it going? Been watinching the channel for about a year now. I love the content. I was wondering though if I could make a suggestion for a build. Since you did the hoonicorn could you maybe do the hoonitruck? Hope to see it someday. Keep up the great work.
@diecast resurrection I'm not certain why you did not plate the base at the same time as the body? they both would have been plated well from new. of course the level of polish is not as necessary as the body bc there is no paint used. also using cleaned-up orig wheels are better looking than the repros. like the work tho. thx
I'm 34 and exclusively collect redlines. I inherited a large collection from my father many many years ago and have been addicted since. I used to be able to find them for reasonable prices but in the last 5 or 6 years the prices gave skyrocketed! Even banged up cars cost $25-$75 depending on the model. I love watching your retso videos. You seem super down to earth and genuine. Keep doing what you do!
You showed much discipline and restraint lol.. I would have been so attempted to paint tail lights and headlights and detail it out... awesome restoration my friend!
Your Lola looks awesome. I restored my Lola from childhood don't remember what happened to it. it lived a tough life apparently. I don't have a zinc setup but I got the tone off by dipping it in lime-away.
This Lola came out very nice original looking. Great job. Although these are hard to find, check this out, Hot Wheels got the demensions wrong in reference to the wheels. A `66 Lola T70 (like all Lolas) are low to the ground (or Track). So only about a ¼ of the tire is below the chasis. Hot Wheels has a whole ½ a tire clearance. Here the trick (and I don´t know why) if you reverse the chasis (upside down and forward to back) Yeah it sounds crazy but it lowers the wheels to the ¼ of the tire clearance to the road. Looks great. (Note: needs some tweeking). Another way to lower the wheels on this Lola is since the wheels are on independent axles, you can put a shim between the axles and the chasis. That will lower the wheels closer to the road.
Just some ideas for your uploads. Muscle car Mondays ( Any type of muscle car weather it’s vintage or modern) Wacky build/restoration Wednesdays (random weird vehicles you build or restore) Freestyle Fridays ( you build what ever but have custom paint jobs where you just go with the flow or maybe even take ideas from fans.
Excellent restoration job! Really spot on and the little fella looks absolutely stunning. The Lola GT70 first appeared in the Grand Prix series in 1969 in which was my all-time favorite Hot Wheels car; the Splittin' Image. This was also the time when Mattel started outsourcing the production of Hot Wheels to a Hong Kong factory.
Just went through my vintage Hot Wheels collection for a car to restore, they’re all too nice they don’t need it lol a few scratches here and there but all original and pretty good
The nail polish seems like little sister revenge to me. My hubby (who I've known for 54 years) shaved his sister's Barbies heads so in revenge we painted all of cars in pastel cheapo 70s paint. And the restore came out EXCELLENT!
How about a custom 69 chevelle street drag car. Have it tubbed out? But you make it that way? Cut the base out and everything to fit the tires. I love your show btw... it's got me into trying this kind of stuff out. I've always collected hotwheels but never customized any. Ty for showing everyone how this is done.
Just a suggestion. They make little brass bristle brushes for cleaning soles of shoes. I wonder if it would work well for what you’re doing. Seem like they would be the perfect size.
I'm really liking the addition of the Coat Counter, but for us noobs (me) could you add an note on the screen about time between the coats? I know it varies between kinds paints, and I've already goofed up more than once. I'd be very grateful! Thanks!
Your skills are incredible and that Zinc set up is genius! I think it'd be cool to see you create your own custom redline with a brand new out of box regular hot wheels!
Do the 1982 Dodge Rampage! It’s a fwd car AND a pick up truck at the same time. The back has a cool little bike molded in the back too. I personally would like to see some “black wall” wheels on it.
These were the cars of my childhood. Nice to see one back in the flash. Do you hit the panel lines and around the headlights with a dental tool to re-establish the lines?
Enjoy the vids,the customs are cool but I'm kinda partial to the Redlines,probably because they're my era. Look's like your little lady found your chocolate stash!!
Check the inside of CarWashKaren's rag for some matching paint. Don't huff paint, kids. Don't turn out like CarWashKaren. I look forward to the intervention episode.
What would be cool is if you got 4 or 5 of the same redline cars and do a step by step on each car so the first would be like before you start to restore it and stop on each step so you have a visual of each step as a showcase so from step 1 to finish
Dude, are you Bob and Doug's youngest brother? I imagine you wearing a striped toque and red lumberjack tuxedo, surrounded by Elsinore beer bottles, while working!
Just curious, would it be possible to lay a coat of primer down to fill in all the imperfections, the go over the model with Alclad gloss black, then chrome? Might prove easier to remove all those micro scratches, you could then go over the chrome with any color clear to get the same effect. Just a thought I never tried with a die cast but the method is sound unless that would de-value the car somehow. Great videos totally digging these resto's.

You should do a video on how to alter cars to make them faster
Still a sweet build. the finish is mint!

Looking to restore a hotwheels from the early 80s. Any suggestions?
Smexy. Redlines are what brought me to the channel. Thanks.
This old boy really enjoys and appreciates the Redline restorations.
Nice job. Keep up the great work!
I don't care what you do, wagon Wednesday or whatever, I'm just glad your back!!!!
"Why do they call him two scoops? Because he likes raisins" lol i died laughing
Awesome you haven't lost your touch on redlines!!

Who allso, likes it when he makes long videos🖥️💻📱😁
“Cause he likes raisins!!” 🤣🤣🤣 Car is gorgeous! Raisin joke was hilarious!!!
Restomods are cool but nothing wrong with a classic restoration either. Thanks for sharing.
Nice to see you going old school again.car looks great 👍
Would be cool to see some funky futuristic customs.
That's blue is beautiful.
Enjoyed the video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Love the spectra flame look on these old redlines
So satisfying seeing the bodywork coming out mirrorlike.
Outstanding restoration Austin on the Lola ....., looking forwards to seeing Jimmy 2 Scoops ice-cream truck.... Great job 👏 👍 👌
Big transformation!! Super Nice.
But that poor girl,either she is a marsian,a zombie or just love avocados
I like the Redline Restos. Like the Wish they made this a Redline, even better. Be safe out there people.
I left a “like “ could not find the live button 😜.Great resurrection and love and love this channel.
Love the red lines, especially the sweet 16…
Love your redlines. Your patience and attention to detail are top notch
Love when you do redlines !!!!! came out fantastic !!!
Can you do a Mopar week
Yes I can
Ole 2 scoops!!! 😆 Austin that was a great build.
Redline justice - awesome
You ought to have a "Weird Week", where you fixerupper some of the really weird vehicles Hot Wheels have released.
A whole week of three-wheelers and cars with 'weird wheels' would be fun too. Maybe a week of movie/TV tie-in cars?
That turned out so kool, that paint is on point.
Cool.
I do prefer the restorations to be period correct. Thanks for saving a part of my childhood
Awsome!!! As always. Love your narration. You actually sound like my neighbor. Redlines my fav!!!! Thanks!!!!
My God .....it's full of stars.
Thank God!!!! I love all the original ideas that are produced by you Austin but there ain’t nothing like a red line resto!!!! Refreshing!
Amazing work, PERFECT !!!
Nice restoration, details and paint job 👍👍
Thanks once again from South Africa, that really turned out great…looking forward to the next one. Stay safe babe
You showed much discipline and restraint lol.. I would have been so attempted to paint tail lights and headlights and detail it out... awesome restoration my friend!

All that work for a nice ride
Awesome restoration!
You should try some of your candy paint over zinc plating just to see what kind of effects you get a chrome looking blue would look pretty awesome
Two scoops, one Jimmy 😁
BEAUTIFUL ‼️👍👍
Looks brand new...cool
Great job! I had that model as a kid and it was my favorite, wicked fast.
amazing resto wish the oldies had more detail but hey that's how they were purist or not this looks cool

BEAUTIMUS!!!
Very nice work. That is definitely some work to get the casting polished.
UR WORK IS AMAZING
This is my comment to appease the great algorithm
Great video and yet another beautiful job! Nice to see a Redline again for a change.
Dang son, your patience is amazing. Wow, I love to watch your vids.

Just started watching, i think you should make a zombie out of the zamac bikini girl… by the way the completed car looks great!
Just a suggestion. They make little brass bristle brushes for cleaning soles of shoes. I wonder if it would work well for what you’re doing. Seem like they would be the perfect size.
Love your videos!!! Brum brum brum!!!
Beautiful resto. Love the color.
I'm really liking the addition of the Coat Counter, but for us noobs (me) could you add an note on the screen about time between the coats? I know it varies between kinds paints, and I've already goofed up more than once. I'd be very grateful! Thanks!
Awesome work bro,nice
That turned out beautiful!!!!!! How about a Willy's wednesday. That could be cool.

Another one rescued :)
Very nice 👍🏻🔥🤘🏻
Beautiful restoration! Love the paint!

Always enjoy your commentary. When you use that dental pick, how about some make believe dentist chitchat? 😁
Keren videonya..restoration hotwheel cool video tutorial
Wondering what would be the next one on deck. This will be cool - I needed a little Diecast Resurrection for my Wednesday.... Thanks!
Hl mate you should make a coffee van anyway can't wait to see the ice cream truck
Dude, are you Bob and Doug's youngest brother?
I imagine you wearing a striped toque and red lumberjack tuxedo, surrounded by Elsinore beer bottles, while working!
Wow amazing restoration. Wow just shows what some love for what you do shows. Great job
Love how this turned out! :)
Awesome
Nice.
Need to put Redline wheels on the Ice Cream truck.
Just curious, would it be possible to lay a coat of primer down to fill in all the imperfections, the go over the model with Alclad gloss black, then chrome?
