- In this video I restore a car for my wife's co-worker Chuck. This poor 1969 Heavy Chevy Camaro is in really bad shape but I think I was able to get it back to a "near like new" condition.

I think if I'm the owner of a Matchbox or Hot Wheels car from my childhood, I would absolutely want to restore the one I owned as a child, and not go buy one from eBay... so really, the service you are doing for Chuck is far more important then just replacing an old car with a new one... There's no replacing sentimental value👍
I have a few I've held onto for quite some time now
And these restoration videos are a huge help
I wish I had some of my childhood redlines, I don’t really even know what happened to them.
Absolutely this. Pounds, shillings and pence can't buy sentimental value!
@BartJ583 Well When I was younger I had a car that I really loved and the reason it got beat up is BECAUSE I loved it so much, I brought it everywhere, The doors and hood were missing and the only time I got rid of it was when My parents got divorced and it was thrown out in the move. So maybe he just liked the car enough that it did get damaged, sometimes it just happens
I'm the youngest of three brothers, My pocket money, lunch money all went in the Toy shop directly over the road from school so along with hand me downs I had infinite "Sentimental," Cars that when i left home My Darling Mother donated to Charity!
This might be the most badly damaged car youve restored/modded.
Maybe but the VW Bug was pretty beat up as well
The python was the worst.
Bye-focal was the worst
It may not be the most damaged one, but it's certainly right up there with the others.....Every single time I see them in this kind of shape, I'm almost surprised he's able to restore them so well.....and then I remember just how much experience he has doing this, and the surprise goes away.....He's talented and gifted at this! That much is certain!
He had to use CPR to get this thing restored
As a 21 year old it’s very hard to explain to my friends why I love this channel.
WoW that one had been through the war. Im a watchmaker, that specializes in antique pocket watches. I fully understand the sentimental aspect of restoring. People will bring a 7 jewel watch that belonged to a grandparent to get it serviced. 7 jewel watches are just not economically worth repairing as the shafts for the gears are in metal and not jewel bearings so the holes get oblong. They have to be drilled out and bushings added. It can cost $500 for a badly worn watch. For that you could get a 21 jewel railroad watch. But that wouldnt have belonged to a family member.
I’m a sucker for watch servicing. Could you upload some videos about your work from time to time? Instant subscriber here if you do it.
So true
Do it
You get a thumbs up just for attempting this restore.
I know it would be easier to just buy a $10 one from somewhere, but the fact that it was "resurrected from the dead" makes it all the more pleasurable. We are living in a throw away world, so I'm glad that there are people out there still reviving old treasures.
Hey dude. I am just so random Disney parks content creator with no interest in hot wheels what so ever, but I can’t stop watching your videos. You’re phenomenal and I appreciate all your content. It’s captivating.
Hey Its Disney Dan I heard about you from Defunctland
As a hot wheels collector I randomly watched Disney content from 2018 and now have small interest In it
You are a true craftsman. Beautiful work
Nice work!!!! From junker to jewel!!! Love watching your programs.
For as much "play" this car has been through, it came out great. Your friend hopefully realizes how much of a difference you made. I'm impressed, with your work.
I'm 60 and have many hot wheels and matchbox cars and appreciate your work. Cool.
Well done dude well done, Chuck will be very proud of you restoring his childhood Hot Wheels Car.
Considering how bad that car was it came out absolutely fantastic. I like the you pointed out the need to balance the sanding vs living with some imperfections, and filling in what others that you can. I've watched some of your previous videos where some of the cars were over sanded as you mentioned. The approach used here is certainly preferable. A car that isn't as beat up would have much better results too. Overall I'm very impressed with your work. Keep it coming.
Dude, you never stop to impress me how professional your restaurations are.
It is 625pm You do amazing work I have just started watching you and you have taught me a lot of things I still have a long way to go and I want you to know I appreciate it and for now I am going back to watch you do what you do so well Thankyou
As always I find your videos informative and helpful. I'm still learning so much about doing these restorations. Your videos inspired me to give it a go and I'm enjoying it so much
This type of video means so much more to me, when there is a sentimental backstory and the outcome is this nice.
BaremetalHW You’re often imitated but never duplicated. Of all the guys doing diecast restorations and customs, your channel still remains my favorite.
This video is proof of your craft. I thought this junker was beyond saving and you made it look better than new.
My son and I fixed a t-bird up that I had as a child. The windshield had a big crack in it. I painted it with blue tint spray paint, hiding the crack. It wasn't a restoration to your level, but it looks pretty good with it's new wheels and paint. He plays with it all the time.
Great work man. Love that green shiny finish! Considering this thing will never be played with like that again, now it’ll last another 100 years! 😎👍🏽
I'm getting ready to sell all of my red line hot wheels on ebay from my childhood. Watching these restoration videos makes me want to restore them and keep them. Lol. I'm torn 😫
I keep re-watching these episodes
Your work continues to amaze me. The cars take me down memory lane. Thank you.
Now that is awesome. The past has a way to influence what we can reform today. Restoration is all across TH-cam and this channel helps to how small things have big importance
I won't speak for everyone, but I would say the bigger the transformation the more people will watch.... I certainly did enjoy it. Thx
Wow! I didn't think that turd would take a polish, but it polish it did! It looks great!
That was not a restoration, it was a resuscitation! Very nice job!
Honestly I was so sad to go see all my Redline cars in bad shape because i didn't know they would have value, so i thought it was a loss but the fact you show how to restore them is great so my collection can show beauty with a story behind the makeup
I have never been into cars or owned any hot wheels and I have no idea why TH-cam suggested your video to me but I am hooked.
There is something cathartic about what you do, I feel really good when I see a toy that has seen a *lot* of love get even more.
Please keep making these extreme restoration videos. Sure, it might be 10 bucks at the shop but it doesn't have a story like this car does!
You did great considering what you started with. I would restore my old cars but my little brother inherited them, and he played "scrapyard" with hammers and rocks!
What a treat! To have the master restore a childhood Hot Wheels Red Line car for you. As usual, you did a great job with what you had to work with.
the imperfections give the spectraflame depth and extra shimmer. Very nice work
The "before" picture looks like every car i have owned! Nice job!
I still have my Chrome 69 Heavy Chevy that came in my Hot Wheels club membership. The other club car that was available was the Chrome Cougar I think. Mine is not as bad as this one but the stickers came off quick with play back then and I smoothed out the wheels with all the skidding on the fireplace hearth. Thanks for these restos as they look great!!!
Pretty sure it's been stepped on😆😆I lost it when you said that.
Worth the effort just to keep a favourite childhood memory alive and kicking - fantastic job as always, despite the damage! 👍
Quite the transformation! Bet the owner will be thrilled
Cant stop watching these
Electroplating, electropolishing... you are raising the bar compared to other restorers on TH-cam. Congratulations, your end product seems to be of higher quality.
This is without a doubt the most damaged car you’ve done, and like always, turns out incredible. I love your videos!
I find your skill and your videos absolutely amazing I could watch them all day thank you
A valiant attempt. You're not so lucky as Marty in Australia who can use baking soda with the super glue to fix broken pillars and putty to fill in pits because of the translucent Spectraflame paint. I think you got this car as far as you could given its rough shape. I always enjoy your videos for your commentary as well as seeing the process and the result. Six hours is surely a labor of love.
I don't restore or collect these cars, but your videos are really satisfying to watch.
Incredible work and a great video! These toys once provided hours of entertainment for a child. It's amazing to see them restored.
Okay, if this was a childhood toy of mine that held sentimental value to me, then I would be absolutely thrilled with this.
You really brought that ride back from the brink. Great job, car looks wonderful.
Wow, you out did yourself one that one. The Mean Green Machine turned out nice!!
Here we go again! A fresh episode, wonderful! Pre-view post! Gonna enjoy those 7:41 minutes, that's for sure. Thank you very much for uploading!
I love this car, I love the paint color, and I love the restoration you did! Great video.
It has a really stunning final color! And you finally got me hooked enough to find some Hotwheels from about the '90's to mess with. Gonna pull them apart today and mess with 'em. :)
Amazing work. Completely transformed from how bad it looked initially!
You do Awesome work. Enjoyed watching your video and it’s always nice to see redlines again 👍👍
Another beautiful restoration! It was certainly worthy of the restoration- for the owner and the viewer. It wasn’t necessary for you to do, but it is appreciated by the rest of us.
thank you for commentating this restoration. it's nice to hear the reason certain steps are done.
FINALLY! a heavy chevy restoration video, been waiting for awhile, a lot of damage, looks amazing in the end keep up the work.
Great build and historic HotWheel.
You are the best painter. Great job. Thanks...
That is absolutely amazing, I think this is one of your better Restorations. That had the scale of damage.
You did a great job of restoring this car, and I really like how it turned out. The green is absolutely fabulous, and I am certain the original owner of the car is very proud of it now.
Wow, that was beat up! a heavy resto indeed. Looks like new again though! Very nice job!
You did a great job considering what you started with . I watched a guy on youtube replace a broken piece ( dump truck ladder )with JB weld . That would have probably have worked on those pillars . But you did more than I would have on this car . Thanks for posting .
You brought that one back from the dead!
I guess Mattel must have though Chevrolet would continue the 68 body style when they released it. Nice job bringing that one back from the grave.
That was a miraculous transformation! Brilliant work, just brilliant!
Astonishingly superb restoration!
That wasn’t a restoration. That was a resurrection and a miracle!
Sid from Toy Story is real.
About 11 years ago I found a red line one of these at an antique store. I knew enough Hot Wheel history to know it was valuable. Paid 40 bucks for it. I keep it in a safe. I still wish I could find the one with the light red paint job that was popular in the early 80s. Had one in childhood but destroyed it Beyond repair. I think I still have parts of it ----in a ziplock bag--- with some other junk. lol
Amazing restoration. Hard to believe it’s the same car.
Great restoration...this is one of my favorite castings
Good job. I'm sure the guy is happy to have his old car back.
Nice job. That one was a real turd at the beginning. You did a great job bringing it back to life.
Just got my first bag of hotwheels to begin practicing on! Pretty excited!
Holy hell. This one was *ABSOLUTELY TRASHED*
The before and after was *so satisfying*
I think you did a very nice thing for this guy. Love the result. Green is by far my favorite color, so that's a bonus, here. Many thanks for sharing the project as usual.
That was a masterpiece! I really enjoy the way you do your restorations! Congrats!
Awesome resto. Fantastic result!
Incredible job! I wasn't familiar with Redline restoration until I saw your videos.
Green is my favorite spectra flame color. I love the way yours turned out!!
I had the Custom AMX and Mustang Boss Hoss in spectraflame green.
I like seeing the really rough cars get restored.
Awesome green. Came out really nice.
This is one of my top 5 favorite hot wheels castings
Great work! I am sure this guy appreciates what you did as you saved this one bigtime!
nice job considering what you had to work with. . fun to watch and a way to learn from the viewer , thank you
Great video , a lot of work , car came out awesome . Keep them coming . Mike Espo....
I think when you find a hot wheels in that bad of shape and restore them shows how much talent you have for this type of stuff or else the car may have been thrown away.
dude idk anything about cars but this was still so satisfying to watch
WOW! What you did made a big difference. Very cool! Keep up the good work. Thanks.
Wow, that restoration was amazing!
Awesome, love watching your videos!
Love these videos keep them coming. Great job on the resto I'm sure Chuck was well pleased with the final result.
baremetalHW .... Man you are truly an artist in every sense of the word .... Great job
OMG !! You did a great work with this piece !! OMG when video started I thought it could be almost imposible, but you did it !! Awesome restoration !!
Damn... you weren't kidding when you said extreme restoration, that car was beat up more than the pink 71 Bye-Focal.
I used to watch every video you posted then TH-cam stopped showing you in my recommendations ☹️. Happy to see you have a sponsor now !!! Hopefully TH-cam gets back to showing me your videos on my "feed"
Have you ever considered soldering those pits? Solder should be easy to file and sand flush, easy to completely remove and start over, but still be metal, and look the part. So the plating process would work on it.
I'm hardly a professional, of course.
And congratulations on the sponsorship, again. You deserve it.
I love this restoration
Beautiful job all around
Brilliant restoration really impressed!
My brother had a couple of theses and watching you restore this and the Mustang is great nice job.
You’re a good man to restore this car.
