    I checked out the other channel you mentioned. That guy's work is incredible. The amount of detail he puts into his customs is amazing. I would love to see a build-off between you and Sharon.

      Lol That sounds like fun... as far as customs go I think he would win hands down... He has an eye for detail I don't think I could match at my current skills.

      baremetalHW you do really good restorations and customs, you get the spectraflame so close to the original I bet not many people can do that like you can, don’t matter if you do good detailing or not. It’s based on if your satisfied with the final look.

    I use a 50/50 lime away/water solution for 4 minutes and then brass brush the base. It’s worked like a charm for me every time.

    WOW!! I know Sharon really well. He does indeed build the most astonishing customs and dioramas. I purchased a couple of his amazing works and they are just mind blowing!!! The detail in his work defies belief and they are just beautiful 'in hand' I nailed two rat rods of his. One was a piece he already had, a '34 Ford coupe and the other was a piece I commissioned from him that is a rat tow truck. I must add though that he is not always taking on commissions, nor is he so ready to sell his work. I just got lucky. His are works of art and as such, they do take time to create. Thanks for featuring Sharon Sir. His pieces are hand painted and the parts and fittings he uses are built from often found objects as Israel has very limited supplies of anything generally.
    Thanks for the great video as usual, I'll be applying oxidation removal asap to my customs.
    Cheers from Oz and all the best for the season

    These videos rule. Between yourself and RaceGrooves I am re-hooked on collecting Hot Wheels + Matchbox cars for the first time in forty years. Now appreciating them from the standpoint of an artist in regards to their presentation of design + form. Excavating in dad's basement over Xmas looking for our bin of survivors from childhood (he says they're there) and no trip to a store is complete without glancing at the toy selections. Have already picked up a few nice goodies to keep gleaming and fascinated by the prospect of "restoring" a few as an artistic challenge. Keep the great work!
