As soon as the paint was removed, I was waiting for you to say “and as you can see, there’s a lot of oxidation on the body of this car.” I think I’ve been watching these videos too much
We homeschool our 10-year-old son, and your program has become our favorite lunchtime diversion! Thanks for having such a wonderful, family-friendly program!
I'm not sure if you realize just how many people look up to you for tips, advice, and inspiration. Many of us have watched your entire compilation of videos several times over, absorbing every line, every word as we strive to expand our library of knowledge and improve our skills. You've come a long way, and we thank you for sticking with it for so long.
100% better than what you started with! Awesome work man, I really enjoy your videos and actually prefer your channel over anyone else's. Love these old redlines, keep the vids coming!
Love the redline wheel carousel and really enjoyed this restoration. I find the restorations very satisfying to watch. You always do so much, but never =too= much. Nice work as always and thanks for sharing this.
I actually sent Him a pair of these Redline Hot Wheel Single Car Display's, the Lower Desk Stand (Lazy Susan) and a Standing Display. Since he liked both ive decided to list them on eBay. they are 3D Printed in 3 Colors and assembled.
Sean's Custom Hot Wheels , on eBay if you search Single Car Redline Display they will come up. If I posted a link it would only last the duration of the listing.
that rotating stand is awesome! Also, I havent had very good luck with frog tape. Seems like no matter what it still bleeds. I use 3M automotive paint tape from Napa or any auto parts store. Even comes in different widths, i think from half into the 3 inches
I will say it again. There are artisans all over youtube but you are a true master at your craft. As an adult that grew up with Hot Wheels I am very impressed at how you can save these cars. Great job.
Zinc plating? I'll recommend going the acidic pathway. Anhydrous zinc chloride, boric acid and potassium chloride maybe. Or you go the alkaline route which works way better but involves creating zinc-cyanide complexes. I personally wouldn't go that route, i'm a chemist myself and i wouldn't deal with cyanide in a non-lab environment. P.S. i'm lucky being born with the ability to smell hydrogen cyanide, so i wouldn't need a detector :)
Classy finish with the orange again Sir and thank you for an effortless restore that yields your usual wonderful lustrous result. A nice add to your orange sweet 16...it will be great to eventually see your complete orange sw 16 Thank you again for the tips and I can't wait to see the new zinc plating process
My 68 tbird came factory with the vinyl top. You did it right by not painting the front pillars as they never had vinyl on them. I restored a few dozen of my old matchbox cars as well as painted and detailed the interiors and engines of they came with an open hood. I used them for my xmas town model. I can send some pictures so you can see the absolute detail on the cars and town.
I was so excited when I saw the thumbnail for this video because this is one of my favourite cars! I found one of these many years ago in a Salvation army store but the hood was missing. Even with that problem I've hung on to it because it's kind of cool just being able to see the engine. Thanks for your great videos.
After seeing the bare body I had pretty low expectations - once again, you made it into something amazing. About to attempt my own restoration based on this channel - thanks for the inspiration!
Have you tried dipping the windshield pieces in Future Floor Wax (aka Pledge with Future Shine) after you clean and polish? You just need to pour some in a small container, dip the part totally, then pull it out, letting it rest to dry on a paper towel. If you mess up, it comes off with ammonia. It really helps hide blemishes in the clear plastic. Airplane modelers do this. Glad I stumbled on your stuff - nice work!
Use 3M tape. Green or yellow are the best. When you remove the tape, pull it back against itself slowly instead of pulling it off at a 90 degree angle. This helps tremendously in preventing the paint from peeling off. Pulling it off right after the final coat also helps from getting a sharp edge, as it allows the paint to slightly roll past the tape line. I do this all the time when I two-tone cars in my body shop... Great video again!
That Paintjob and restoration is sexy, and fresh as always. Always love your restorations, as you explain your step by step process in doing so. I find it satisfactory to see old HW being revamped into it's original or newer glory. Keep up the good work bro!
Wow! When you first mentioned orange, I thought like my teenage daughter and mentally went “eew!” However, once complete, in orange, that T-bird was sharp! I was somewhat confused with your discussion on wheels (original versus reproductions), as I thought they were all “reproductions”.....so I will do some research. Anyway, once again, even with the metal discoloration that you pointed out, I found it yet another beautifully-completed model!
Would love to see a video showing off your collection of restored cars as of 2019! Love your work, keep gifting us with more of your restorations and techniques c:
Word, a new video. The car turned out great, like always. I love that spectra flame orange, it looks awesome on the car. Can't wait to see the video on zinc plating and the final product. Keep up the awesome work!!
That orange turned out really nice on the trunk! For the vinyl roof you should use a semigloss black instead, the black you used would look great on a realistic custom car but since yours in good old Hot Wheels it will look better with the same/similar semigloss black that was previously on it.
Amazing how that roof turned out. You mentioned your goal of doing a sweet 16 set in orange--hope that's something you do a video on. Would love to see that.
Great job and very informative as always. Thank you. Please consider doing something with the 66 Batmobile. I would like to see you customize it with opening hood, trunk and doors. Make it more accurate to the original or add lights.
It’s so cool that you are soon going to be able to zinc plate your cars! They will really be next level! Are you going to redo your previously painted cars that needed it?
I used to have an auto body shop. We only used 3M masking tape. It stuck well and came off clean. On one vehicle I tried a cheaper brand and spent 3 days cleaning the glue residue from off the car. I went back to 3M and never left. Be careful of cheap tape, it will cost you in the long run.
You can also try using FineLine underneath you masking tape as itll help with making your lines straight....more so for stripes etc. Also helps seal the line so you get no seepage from the paint into bend or cracks
baremetalHW If at all possible, could you let them know that I'd be interested in commissioning them in the future? If not that's fine, I don't want to take up their time if they're busy with other things.
Man I always love it when a new video pops up from you, I really enjoy you videos. I wish you put more videos out but I understand how much work and time goes into each video quality over quantity. Keep up the great work!!!
As soon as the paint was removed, I was waiting for you to say “and as you can see, there’s a lot of oxidation on the body of this car.” I think I’ve been watching these videos too much
I love the 3D printed base for the lazy susan! Also great work as alway
I don't typically comment, but this restoration was really cool! That top over the pitted paint looked great! Well done!
We homeschool our 10-year-old son, and your program has become our favorite lunchtime diversion! Thanks for having such a wonderful, family-friendly program!
I find your videos relaxing and informative.
Me too, I almost fell asleep after watching the restoration, it's very satisfying too.

Oh, man, you don't know how excited I am to see a new video. I bet I've watched all your restoration videos five or six times during the last week.
PacMan Dreaming I find his videos relaxing too, and I have watched them a couple of times
Every time I watch these, it makes me want to get out my old hot wheels &© matchbox cars, and try to restore them. Great work, as always
Love it! Looks so good. My favorite quote...."...but I was busy."
I like your new lazy susan!
Whats a lazy susan?..its this some kinda slang term?
Its the rotating table that he displays them on, Any table that has a turn table on it is called a lazy susan. Many out door settings have them.
I actually sent Him a pair of these Redline Hot Wheel Single Car Display's, the Lower Desk Stand (Lazy Susan) and a Standing Display. Since he liked both ive decided to list them on eBay. they are 3D Printed in 3 Colors and assembled.
Retro Redlines link?
Sean's Custom Hot Wheels , on eBay if you search Single Car Redline Display they will come up. If I posted a link it would only last the duration of the listing.
This by far is my favorite one. Love the end result! The vinyl top is what does it for me.

You are the man, Bare 👍🏼 To the metal. Nice job again! Thanks for showing your way. Much appreciated ☝️🙂
It turned out beautiful 👏
Looking forward to the zinc playing video.
As always, a great result!
Love the 3D printed rotator stand at the end.
Loving the matte finish roof...nice contrast to the car

Love your work, keep gifting us with more of your restorations and techniques c:
A tape tip is to put the tape on your shirt so it won’t stick so much and not leave any residue.
Bravo! 2 thumbs up from me. Love the end result! 👌🏽
👍🏽👍🏽
Looks awesome. Orange and black really pop.
Real excited about the electroplating, good luck with figuring it out.
i like the ultra black matte, awesome contrast! but a great build and cant wait to see the zinc plating adventures!
Love that orange colour, really suits this model, nice job 👍
Word, a new video. The car turned out great, like always. I love that spectra flame orange, it looks awesome on the car. Can't wait to see the video on zinc plating and the final product. Keep up the awesome work!!
love that 3d Printed Wheel for your turntable!!
That orange color definitely came out great
You do the most coolest things to Hot Wheels ever
That looks absolutely amazing.
The car came out great
Even with the slight blemishes the car look great!
That black paint covered the imperfections very well
That orange turned out really nice on the trunk! For the vinyl roof you should use a semigloss black instead, the black you used would look great on a realistic custom car but since yours in good old Hot Wheels it will look better with the same/similar semigloss black that was previously on it.
It came out beautiful once again!! The burnt orange was a great choice!!
i never get tired of your videos. A+. Big fan here!!!
Considering what you had to work with, you did a good job.
Nice restoration, that model of T-Bird is something I've always liked. Wish I could find it w/ the 50th set
Amazing how that roof turned out. You mentioned your goal of doing a sweet 16 set in orange--hope that's something you do a video on. Would love to see that.
Definitely enjoyed this video! T-Bird came out great!
Wow, that’s an amazing restoration!!! Love those new red wheels!!
Gorgeous paint color!
Looks great, loving the orange! I have a fresh bottle that is dying to be cracked open.
I think you will really like it! Especially on those Dukes of Hazzard cars you did.
Another brilliant build......!!
Looks amazing I love the blacktop and it really hid the oxidation thanks for sharing
Not about the car but still deserves a shout out, the now tear table looks great 👍
great video my dude i like the way the paint turned out with the wool
very much looking forward to the zinc plating episode
The orange is coming out very nice!
That copper orange is beautiful
Great job and very informative as always. Thank you.
Please consider doing something with the 66 Batmobile. I would like to see you customize it with opening hood, trunk and doors. Make it more accurate to the original or add lights.
I love the car's final results!
As always fantastic and relaxing to watch.
Great new turntable for your cars
Very cool rotating stand.
It’s so cool that you are soon going to be able to zinc plate your cars! They will really be next level! Are you going to redo your previously painted cars that needed it?
Yes
Beautiful paint, i never liked the look of reproduction wheels but i understand the reason behind it. it turned out nice.
I’ve watched every single video, and you’re still making amazing videos and getting better every time! Great job as always
Fantastic work, you're good at what you do.
Nice work. Love the colour.
I used to have an auto body shop. We only used 3M masking tape. It stuck well and came off clean. On one vehicle I tried a cheaper brand and spent 3 days cleaning the glue residue from off the car. I went back to 3M and never left. Be careful of cheap tape, it will cost you in the long run.
3m all day. I suggested he could try also using FineLine tape underneath the masking tape for line, stripes etc
Everything i like using from sand paper to tape to compounds and polishes is 3m.
I swear by their Finesse-It II polish. Best shit in the world
You can also try using FineLine underneath you masking tape as itll help with making your lines straight....more so for stripes etc. Also helps seal the line so you get no seepage from the paint into bend or cracks
Once you perfect the plating method your restorations will be flawless.
Looks beautiful! You've inspired me to start my own restoration/custom videos 😄
cool.. already subed to your channel :-)
Nice 3d printed turn table 👌
I have the same green truck in 2:46
Great results as usual.
Wow. Great restoration as always!
It's really nice. I also like the new turn table
Great Job on the restoration! I love the new display stand. #3dprinttheworld
Great job! Would be proud to display in my sweet 16 collection!!
That looks good. Plating? Cool .
Nice Redline turntable.
Good video. Also, where'd you get that spinning base? I've never seen it before.
A subscriber made it for me...
baremetalHW If at all possible, could you let them know that I'd be interested in commissioning them in the future? If not that's fine, I don't want to take up their time if they're busy with other things.
baremetalHW it looks really good!
Man I always love it when a new video pops up from you, I really enjoy you videos. I wish you put more videos out but I understand how much work and time goes into each video quality over quantity. Keep up the great work!!!
Very Goood!!! Saludos desde México!!! 🇲🇽
I would love to see a micro machines restoration!
Looks great as always...
Very excited for plating in future!
Looks really nice
I have one of those (US) and thankfully hardly any pitting. Prob one of my fav cars when I was a kid, hand me down from my brother.
That new wheel-shaped lazy suzan is a nice job! You should integrate 3d printing into your videos
Right... I have several videos where I use 3d printers...
Awesome job. Always love your videos
Hello, I'm a great follower of your channel and I'm inspired by your work, thanks for existing
as always awesome results
