Awesome video, and both came out just jazzy! That pink does look nice, for pink. Can’t blame your grandson for good taste! Hehehehehe. I am a little bummed that the black paint didn’t turn out the way I think you imagined it would, but I can’t argue it paved the way for better. 🙂👍 Happy day!
Both look great.🙂 I sincerely like how you are so understanding when your grandson messes up some of your cars, before you film them. 🙂 I know that the majority of your projects are for him, I just think that you are a good grandpa. Take care.
@@WheelsNThangs You are so welcome. Awww😔 I am betting that you do not regret having them live with you guys at all. Hopefully many more "continued" grandfather/son adventures to come... And "new" granddaughter ones.😁 Take care 🙂 Edit: Perhaps get him into your shop and let him tinker/paint (rattle or brushed) a custom, for grandpa's collection.
@@Tim-57 I'm sure he will be over here pretty often as they aren't moving too far. It's bitter sweet I guess. It was bound to happen one day, I'm grateful they've been here this long.
Hi there great video. Boy I am loving the hot pink car. I have noticed that other Redline restorers don't use the glue on posts under the cars but what they do is drill out the posts and put in a .05mm screw and posts and paint the head to match the body colour. Thanks for the video. I am learning more and more about restoring Hotwheels.
A great couple of restorations. I woukd've loved to see one in the black . I think it would've been really smart. 👍...... Kids eh ..... mind you I think back to when I was a kid and the Matchbox cars l destroyed or lost bits too ..... l collect them now and being an adult, realising the value of these little cars even when customised 😊
I was really hoping the black would have worked. I may try it again. I destroyed so many cars when I was a little one, wish I would have kept them! I remember setting a few on fire and getting a good whooping too!
Excellent restorations. I did my Sugar Caddy in that hot pink. Made it look like a Superfly pimpmobile. The hot heap is one of the last of my sweet 16 collection I gotta get.
I'm NOT a Hot Heap fan but really nice work and what do you think of the cars featured in the Hot Wheels Drag Race app. In that mobile game the HW Poppa Wheelie is the one I feel is the WORST behind Scorpedo and Rig Heat.
I liked how you gave some background about the models, I found that interesting. Also, I enjoyed the video regardless of how much actually needed to be done
I have an orange Heap that's still completely original and almost perfect. I've got some other red lines, that I've been seriously thinking about trying to restore myself. One is the Hood, one is the Sugar Caddy that has a broken window, if you notice on the casting the window is actually the whole roof on the thing, I wonder if they even make a replacement for it, and I've also got an enamel Rolls Royce Silver Shadow in of course silver enamel that I'd like to do. Recommendations?
I'll correct myself. It wasn't necessarily Hong Kong cars, it wad the D casings. Apparently the windshields stuck to the molds. Either way they still look great! I've got 2 more cars to get to finish my sweet 16 collection. Unfortunately the 2 I need seem to demand the highest prices. The mustang and the Tbird.
The Hot Heap casting is based on the award winning hot rod, most recently owned by Gas Monkey Garage's Richard Rawlings, "Tognotti's 'T' "built by Don Tognotti. It's not just any old Model T bucket. If I recall right, it's the first hot rod car to use a Jaguar rear end, and first to chrome all those underside parts. It's a show car, perhaps a trailer queen, but either first or among the first built for that purpose. Certainly the standard for the earliest show cars to be judged against. I keep putting that story in public comments. Wished more people would remember Tognotti especially for his innovations and not his very sad life story's end.
Wheels N thangs restoration and custom looks very professional you always upgrade your equpments nicely and carefully done everything.. better than all other...
I love hot pink, and yes, it goes well with the white interior, although, I think you should kept the green instead. There's a ton of blue models out there, I think.
Although I am slightly irritated that you sacrificed a couple of cars that didn't need restored, I gotta say they turned out very nice! I just wish you would've found a couple that actually needed restoring.
great cars. they are meant to be played with his memories of that car will be priceless to him. i remember playing with all of my cars. i loved every minute of it
Sorry about my rude manners, I should comment about your cars. I like the pink car myself, never had a pink Hot Wheels before. The blue one's nice too.
I want to say, "No, what voices...What makes you think there are voices?" Just to get you paranoid. Clearly there are voices. It sounded like a video was being played in the background, perhaps editing one while recording another. One the other could be TV or speakerphone conversation in the background. For the OCD crowd out there, feel free to play it over to figure it out by playing things over and over. I'll watch this video over when I restore a Hot Heap myself. Great Restorations! Thanks for the Tutorial!
Great to see a video with two cars. It's 2 times the pleasure
Thank you!

Hi there great video. Boy I am loving the hot pink car.

match the body colour.
Thanks for the video. I am learning more and more about restoring Hotwheels.
Thank you! I normally use screws and use that in most of my videos. I'm not sure why they paint them, original Redlines did not have painted rivets.
Very interesting. Looks like a T-Bucket.
Outstanding color. Awesome Custom ❤️❤️❤️
It does look like a T-Bucket! Thank you!
Thanks for the shout out
No problem DSC!

They look really good! Personally I think i would've just wheel swapped them, and be done with it, keep it original. Still, nice looking resto :)
Thank you!
Those are really good looking. I could see them cruising around in California.
Thanks you, I could for sure see that!
Excellent restorations. I did my Sugar Caddy in that hot pink. Made it look like a Superfly pimpmobile. The hot heap is one of the last of my sweet 16 collection I gotta get.
Thank you! The HH can be had pretty cheap luckily.
Some hot heaps have the tilt windshield and some are straight that windshield came that way great video man they look great.
Thank you! I noticed a few seemed tilted but it seems to be hit or miss and only on HK cars.
I'm NOT a Hot Heap fan but really nice work and what do you think of the cars featured in the Hot Wheels Drag Race app. In that mobile game the HW Poppa Wheelie is the one I feel is the WORST behind Scorpedo and Rig Heat.
Hmm. Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of this casting and a few others I have coming up but they are all part of the original 16 so..
Beautiful Beautiful Restoration 👍
Thank you!
Nice. And well, at least the pink one did some sweet jumps!
:)
Another awesome restoration,well done and thank you for taking the trouble to share it with us.
Thank you!
Te quedo chulisimo
Some day I’ll get to my Hot Heaps, Great job on both of them!
That car looks awesome with the restoration! Love the video like always!
Thank you!
Look good thanks for sharing
Thank you!
Those turned out great. Good work!
Thank you!
Really appreciate the uk amazon links johnny, great video as always
Thank you!
I liked how you gave some background about the models, I found that interesting. Also, I enjoyed the video regardless of how much actually needed to be done
Thank you, I really appreciate it. I'm trying to throw in a little background to each one of them.
haha glad you changed your channel name back it was so hard to find your channel searching up WNT
Same here, Everytime WNT would show in my feed I would say wtf is wnt and I would remove it from my recommendation lol missed a few videos doing that.
When ever I search up wnt on TH-cam woman's football or as the American say soccer video would pop up.
:)
Glad I switched it back then! If you hit the bell you should be notified of any new vids.
Great video, 2 for 1 special, looking forward to the next restoration!
Thank you!
Amazing!!!!! Love the hot pink
Thank you!
Hot pink looks good.
Thank you!

Recommendations?
I looked, and there is a new roof/windshield available for the Sugar Caddy
Yeah, I was going to say you could probably find that one pretty easy. I did my RR in purple but I may re-restore it in another color.
I need to get me some Hot Heaps! Hot pink is cool.
Agreed, love the pink!
I think those bent windshields were factory from Hong Kong. An imperfection from the factory they just kept. Nice restos!
Hmm. Never knew. It's straight now! lol
I'll correct myself. It wasn't necessarily Hong Kong cars, it wad the D casings. Apparently the windshields stuck to the molds. Either way they still look great! I've got 2 more cars to get to finish my sweet 16 collection. Unfortunately the 2 I need seem to demand the highest prices. The mustang and the Tbird.
@@chad3625 Great info! The Mustang isn't a cheap one to obtain!
Woot, two for one !!! Great video!

Great info! I was going to get into some of that but couldn't find a place to squeeze it in.

I didn’t know about the variations, good bit of info! They turned out great!👍🏼
Thank you!
I was like whos this guy? Lol! 👍
*Dat Pink* 😍😍😍
Anyone who is a die hard fan restoration of hot wheels or nascar should check this guy out
👍👍
Always a treat watching your videos kind sir, thank you
Thank you!

Probably right :)
awesome!!!! love this series !!!!!
Thank you!
Nice!! Luv watching these videos
Thank you!
Yeah baby! 👍🏻🚨
Hey from northern Illinois......12/27/23*good video 🎥🎉🎄🎧
Great Video as always Brother...
Thank you!
Although I am slightly irritated that you sacrificed a couple of cars that didn't need restored, I gotta say they turned out very nice! I just wish you would've found a couple that actually needed restoring.
Another Sweet 16 done and dusted, looking great👍What's next on the line up?🤔
It's up! I should have seen this comment earlier and made you guess :)
I had a lime green one when I was a kid, it was one of my faves. I like how the front of the car looks like a face with a big smile...XD
Oh man it does!
I have one of these in great shape! Only problem.... its missing a bearing... any suggestions?
Great restoration of the Hot Heaps, what brand of air brush recommend?
Here are the two models I use. amzn.to/3Z9qkuy and amzn.to/3VGQ0M7
@@WheelsNThangs thank you both of the air brushes look great.
Good mornem
Thanks!
Great video! Did you 3D print those air brush holders??
Thank you! Nah, it's from Harbor Freight :)
Great restoration. Could you post where you get the spectra flame airbrush paint.
redlineshop.com
Do one with color matched wheels!
That would be interesting!
great cars. they are meant to be played with his memories of that car will be priceless to him. i remember playing with all of my cars. i loved every minute of it
I totally agree! Thank you for watching the vid!
I think that these old cars look awesome in hot pink and I'm not even a fan of pink. 😀
Thank you!
Very nice job. What is the acid you use?
This exact product. Mixed 50/50 with water amzn.to/2XCl1Ui
Lmao sweet jumps ha ha ha I love this channel
Thank you!
4:18 PulpMx podcast?
Ha! Great ear. I think it may have been the Pulp Moto 60 show on this one.
Well I didn't get to hear enough to discern
thejunkman I’m shocked you knew it was Pulp!
Sorry about my rude manners, I should comment about your cars. I like the pink car myself, never had a pink Hot Wheels before. The blue one's nice too.
Both cars were way to nice to sacrafice for restoration.
Stripping the paint was painful to watch.I couldn’t do this.
"No sellers are currently delivering this items to Sweden." :-(
:(
Lol, your grandson hooned it.
For sure!
Why do I hear voices? Does anybody else?

Podcast playing on my phone in the one shot.
Thank you as always David!
Kids, go figure
Yep!
this was a bit painful to watch, oh well there is more original cars out there i guess
These are cheap and a dime a dozen.
@@WheelsNThangs it did look good when you where done with it too, as always man :)
