I didn't know there were such a market for these cars, but seeing how much attention the restoration process gets, there has to be. Too bad I gave away all my toy cars, but maybe they'll eventually find their way into the hands of a caring collector or restorator.
Imagine the kid who owned this painted it pink and played with it on a driveway living floor or a racetrack playset. I can imagine the kid having paint all over him/her and their parents yelling at them for getting into the paint.
Why would somebody dislike this? I'll assume some dislikes were not on purpose, missclicks while hitting the like button. This is the work of an artist and expert craftsman, bringing back something more than one took for garbage or worthless. It doesn't matter if is "just a toy" : the time put on this, meticulous attention to detail, extreme dedication and perseverance turns these restorations in something akin to what you see in museums around the world. Say what you will, this man and his toy cars are on another league.
This was a car that played with as a kid. (Yep, I'm an old guy.) Mine was green. This episode was a real trip down memory lane. I'm so glad you did this one, and did such a nice job. I really like this channel. I'm so glad you do and show this work.
I love how you can almost never tell what’s a joke with him or not. It gives me a good chuckle whenever he says something like “it’ll ping across the room and never be seen again”
It makes my sad that these little wheels of childhood was treated with such disrespect, but after the restoration Im happy to say that you continue to make the everlasting memories of our childhood 😊😊😊
Man... That feeling when you get something you never knew you needed your whole life. TH-cam really seems to learn my search algorithm, it knows what I want to see before I do.
With nearly 1.5 million views I'd say he probably paid TH-cam to show up on everyone's feed. Seems like stupid things like this and playing video games makes more money than actual intelligence like Mr Carlson's lab, Joe Pieczynski or NurdRage. Brings to mind the movie Idiocracy, yes this world is getting that stupid...
I have used a body filler on real cars that was called “all metal”. This was a bit of a misnomer as it was simply not all metal but a mixture of aluminum powder and a paste. However when properly mixed with the Hardner the results looked like a bare piece of metal instead of pink putty. I only used it in very small helpings to fix minor imperfections and this may help you to fill Some of the dimples in the cars body.
or just use normal bondo and then paint it silver base-coat before spectra paint. This is what we do in the model building world since the cars are made of plastic, not metal
Evil Ash bondo on classic cars is very scary, NEVER use it! My buddy paid 9000 dollars for a 1971 ford torino that was a gt body but swapped with a 460. After he sandblasted it he found out that 68 percent of the rockers were repaired with bondo and so was the front left and both rear fender wells. Cost him 15k more just to redo the body!
jacob stebbing bondo is a name brand its like calling cotton swabs, q-tips. its called body filler and used in all automotive repair industries wether you think its evil or not. unless you are hanging all new sheet metal you will never metal straighten every project that comes through your bays.
Your vidieos have every thing, a cool calm voice, and just things that are nessesay to explain every thing we kneed to know. I love the images and vids. It is a very relaxing Vidio to watch. Thanks.
Okay, I have no idea how did I ended up here, but I have to say that I'm amazed with your job. You pay attention to all the details and try to explain the reasons you are doing something. Simply amazing! Keep up the good work!
I applaud him. I wish I had the desire or inclination to do things like this. Not even for TH-cam but just a true desire to do things like this or paint.
I always find it fun seeing what oher people restor. It can be amazing what you can rocover with the right motovation & tools. I like to collect & restor vintage computers.
I have a box of hot wheels passed down from my dad and his brothers, they were from the 60s/70s I added a lot of ones from the 90s/2000s when I was a kid. Haven't looked at them in years but I used to love those toys before I started playing Grand Theft Auto ironically. I have a ton of old cars just like that I never thought anyone would want to restore them. I'm inspired now I wanna open that box again
Fantastic job, really well executed! ...turning what most people consider junk into something worthwhile...it's all about the challenge and the end result....regardless of the size of the vehicle!!
This particular vintage HW car is probably one of the more difficult models to find, it's hard to get anyone to part with an original completely mint "Bye-Focal" for less than $1,000!
My apologies, sir, but as much as I would love to take you up on your offer, I'm afraid I don't have the money to afford the hobby of collecting rare and expensive HW cars, I'm a budget collector and can only buy what I can afford. Thank you, though. However, I'm sure there's someone else here who might be interested in your original "Bye-Focal", you'll find a buyer, I guarantee that.
This is the most underrated channel, I love you're videos and would like to start restoring older hot wheels and matchbox as well 👍edit: spelling error "chammel"
I'm actually curious to know what you'd charge to restore/touch-up a car or two for someone! My grandmother passed away at the beginning of July and she collected a TON of Barbies, Hot Wheels and other such toys. Some of the Hot Wheels are ones that I grew up playing with and as such they were given to me after she passed, but since I was an idiot kid I wasn't exactly gentle with them XD
I reckon not considering the money he has to spend on supplies to restore a car. Paint, new wheels, possibly decals, windshields and other supplies, it all costs. Then he would have to mail it back to the owner, more money. I seriously doubt that he makes much money off of TH-cam.
I think this kind of restoration is priceless. Given a fair hourly rate , just the several hours of sanding and online part purchasing . A restore like this can be easily in the order of hundreds.
Alan Ray Locklear Why not pick up some cheap job lot of die cast cars on EBay and, following the examples on this channel, learn to restore them yourself? You may think you don’t have the patience or the skill but it’s all practice, practice, practice. I use rattle cans/auto body aerosols to repaint my cars and it’s a sometimes tedious process. I have stripped new paint from a model up to three times because it’s not right. However, I stand by my work and I enjoy the time I invest in the models and seeing them as they might have appeared coming out of the factory. I have also moved into reproduction boxes to accompany them. I’ve even bought a 3D printer to learn how to make parts that are currently unavailable from reproduction suppliers. I am learning new techniques and honing my skills. As a result, I know if I sold a model, I would get a return on the materials used and a little profit but not on the time I have spent in the labour. It’s a channel like this one that gives the rest of us inspiration to reach for a new goal. AFAIK, baremeralHW doesn’t restore Redlines as a business. You may try sending your Redlines and asking if thy can be restored in a video but you’d be relinquishing them to the channel and knowing that they were restored. Hence my suggestion to do it yourself. Good luck. It’s a great feeling to look at something you’ve restored yourself.
I have a redline mclaren that needs a paint restoration. It was my dads and gave it to me. If i gave it to you to restore , how much would it cost Update i found a Mustang Boss Hoss that is missing a wheel and hood and a Classic Nomad that is missing a wheel cap and needs new paint. Both are redlines
You did a fantastic job with that poor bye-focal. The details on those older matchbox cars have always impressed me something hot wheels never really got into and sadly something matchbox slowly navigated away from.
My first thought when you pulled up the interior was, "Ha look at the garbage and cigarette butts the previous owner left ins...... oh right. Whoops toy car." Awesome video. Thanks for posting.
Just met this guy at the bar.. he can't finish a shot but glad to see he can finish a car. Cheers Zack! 🍻

Im seriously wondering why this is on my recommended list...
I sighed as I made it to the end

THE ALGORITHM!!
A toy car worth hundreds of dollars.
6:51 "If done right it wll fire across the room never be found again"
LOL! 😂😂😂😂😂😅
I've had that happen a few times too.
The fact is if a bit can come off it sooner or later will and will vanish until being found by the roomba 5 years later
I didn't know there were such a market for these cars, but seeing how much attention the restoration process gets, there has to be. Too bad I gave away all my toy cars, but maybe they'll eventually find their way into the hands of a caring collector or restorator.
That's what they all say
Mine all went to a 5 year old. They all got eaten or shoved up his nose.
Never to be seen again.
"If done right the wheel would fly across the room and never be found again " 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂

Brought back to the days when Hot Wheels were the most bad ass toy/collectable on the planet. Great job, brother. ✌🏼
I'm impressed with the level of respect and care you put in each car.
Man, if I could go back to my childhood house in the 70's with a metal detector. No telling how many Hotwheels lying around that yard?
How'd they get buried
Idk how your videos got recommended but im not complaining, this is cool.
Looks great! Really awesome how far you were able to bring this one back from the dead!
I love how you can almost never tell what’s a joke with him or not. It gives me a good chuckle whenever he says something like “it’ll ping across the room and never be seen again”
You brought this one back from the dead. Nicely done!
Stunning paint color and love you kept it true to the original owners vision .........always enjoy your videos , thank you for sharing !
You sir are a master of your craft! That was amazing
Wow! From trash to cash! lol
Yeah, I know you won't sell it, but, it's just to show from what it was to what it is. REALLY good!
