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.
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.
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.
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 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
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?
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!!
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.
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

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

Restomods are cool but nothing wrong with a classic restoration either. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks once again from South Africa, that really turned out great…looking forward to the next one. Stay safe babe
Awsome!!! As always. Love your narration. You actually sound like my neighbor. Redlines my fav!!!! Thanks!!!!
Love the red lines, especially the sweet 16…
Cool.
I do prefer the restorations to be period correct. Thanks for saving a part of my childhood
I like the Redline Restos. Like the Wish they made this a Redline, even better. Be safe out there people.
Enjoyed the video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Dang son, your patience is amazing. Wow, I love to watch your vids.
The wire wheely, otherwise known as cheek poker 9000,(Derek from Vice Grip Garage)
Love your redlines. Your patience and attention to detail are top notch
Love the spectra flame look on these old redlines
Redline justice - awesome
Nice restoration, details and paint job 👍👍
That turned out so kool, that paint is on point.
So satisfying seeing the bodywork coming out mirrorlike.
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.
Love when you do redlines !!!!! came out fantastic !!!
Two scoops, one Jimmy 😁
BEAUTIFUL ‼️👍👍
Would be cool to see some funky futuristic customs.
Great job! I had that model as a kid and it was my favorite, wicked fast.

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
Looks brand new...cool
BEAUTIMUS!!!
Great video and yet another beautiful job! Nice to see a Redline again for a change.
That's blue is beautiful.
Very nice work. That is definitely some work to get the casting polished.

I remember having this one. Awesome restoration!
This Lola came out very nice original looking. Great job.

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.
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?
Beautiful resto. Love the color.
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

Love your videos!!! Brum brum brum!!!
Always enjoy your commentary. When you use that dental pick, how about some make believe dentist chitchat? 😁
Awesome
Wow amazing restoration. Wow just shows what some love for what you do shows. Great job
Another one rescued :)
Nice.
Beautiful restoration! Love the paint!
Wondering what would be the next one on deck. This will be cool - I needed a little Diecast Resurrection for my Wednesday.... Thanks!
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.
Awesome work bro,nice
Very nice 👍🏻🔥🤘🏻

Love how this turned out! :)
Dude she is Mrs Goblin!
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 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)

How would one go about sending in a car?
Its a little tricky right now cause the po box is down ask me again in a month or so ok?
Nice

Do you use normal/standard needle files or do you use diamond files.
I like the normal ones.
How about tuner Tuesdays?
Soooo close to 100k subs

What do you do after you fixed, mod and paint theses awesome toy cars? Do you put them on a shelf or something?
That turned out beautiful!!!!!! How about a Willy's wednesday. That could be cool.
What about the engine bay? Doesnt the zinc get all up in there?
