  • In this video I explore using metal paint undercoats as a way to clean up metal discoloration and corrosion on old hot wheels.

    This was my cousin's favorite Hot Wheels car when we were kids. Years later he built a real TBIRD as his Hot Rod. Really awesome car. Man I miss those days, that is why I am trying to collect and restore some Hot Wheels, the problem I run into is that we have hoarders in our area, and you can't find certain models anywhere. Even new ones are picked through, and at the shows they command prices 3 to 4 times the "book l" value or the worth of the model.

    Beautiful result. Seriously, I really admire these cars (got a collection which I rarely even touch), and it's truly pleasurable to see on them brought back to their glory.

    I didn't know there was a Hot Wheels version of this car! I had a real one with a 429 Thunderjet and it was awesome. Most powerful Thunderbird Ford ever made. Lost it due to divorce, bummer. Wish I had this HW car..... thanks for the enlightenment, and the video!

    I'm not usually a fan of orange paint, but that car was/is unbelievably beautiful. Love it.

    Spectraflame, sparkles, different layers of varnish giving depth. All Brill work. Can't get enough of combinations with spectraflame coatings 👍

    I have learned so much watching your videos. I am a kid of the 60's, and got my first HW when they came out in 68. Thankfully, my mom saved my collection. To this day I still buy any redline cars I come across, when the price is reasonable. I appreciate, and look forward to your next video.

    Couldn't care less about "Hot Wheels" cars. What I do care about is the restoration process. Your attention to detail makes all of your videos worth watching. I have restored several "real cars" (mostly British classic) over the past few years and, as such, I truly appreciate your attention to detail. Keep up the good work!!!

    Great tips. I used all primer and putty products years ago on model kits. It's great to see they can be used on Hot Wheels.

    While not a factory look, that Spectraflame over the metallic silver is brilliant, a great look for a custom.

    As a modeler and detailer on hiatus I find your videos fascinating and am finding inspiration to eventually return to my hobby.
