Gabriel Choi saints row is a really good game with friends but seems a lot like GTA i like that you can use cheats to get money so that you don't have to grind if you only wanna fool around
Very cool! Had no idea that people restored Hot Wheels cars! The techniques and processes are interesting and well explained. I like the fact that more detailed videos on the techniques are available. Well done
i love these videos! your care for the cars is so authentic, and it's kind of soothing just watching and listening to you restore such old pieces of history!
Best one so far. Very nice work, love how the less aggressive methods seem to work as good or better than sanding it or using the harsh abrasives. That was surprising. Great job!
Не думал что наткнусь на такой давний, да ещё твой коммент здесь - ты пробовал сам ремонтировать/реставрировать машинки Hot Wheels? У меня есть прекрасные доноры для этого, но "ремонтировать" их сам всёравно опасаюсь - боюсь накосячить...Главная беда многих - искривлённая ось и колёса, а толковых пошаговых видео по их правке с разбором/без разбора (ещё и на русском) один чёрт нигде нет...
The point of this video was to address several people who were complaining that sanding the car was destroying the nickel plated surface... This video was as good as I could get without sanding and priming it... in more resent videos I do sand and prime... I try to address what my viewers bring up in the comments... thus this video is a result of comments left in my mustang video..were I sand the crap out of the model to get all the pits out. Unfortunately you don't get to choose what video TH-cam promotes... I would not have chosen this one as it only represents the best I could do not sanding the car. Many of my videos, like this one, are just experiments... showing different ways at going after an issue or tackling a viewers concern. Not every video ends with a perfect looking car.
Very succinct explanation Mr. baremetalHW. Nice... A+ Always enjoy my journeys with you. Almost 1.5 mil. views too. You deserve each & every one of them.
Just came across your channel a few days ago. I'm old enough to remember having the entire series one hot wheels set in 1969 as a four year old. How I wish I still had them. Thanks to your videos I am going to be looking for vintage hot wheels at the local collector show with a new eye towards restoring them myself.
Ha! My stepfather designed the 67 Camaro. Drew it on our formica dining room table one night. Very cool to see this restoration of this little Hot Wheels car - so much a part of life back then.
Somewhere down in my basement, “resides” all of my original Matchbox, Hot Wheels and Johnny Lightning cars (yep, I’m in my mid-60s, my late mother and father still had them….and now, once again, I have them). Many are pristine…and I know some of them sport the appropriate “battle scars of play hood”. I’m not really eBay savvy, nor do I care to be. I have marked that particular box as potentially valuable, should I pass before my wife, so that she doesn’t just throw it into a Goodwill bin. I do enjoy watching these childhood relics restored to “like new” condition, along with a couple of fingers of a high quality bourbon. Bravo-Zulu! Well,done….that purple came out so well!
Even me, a girly girl who loves watching makeup tutorials, shopping hauls and speed paintings is here enjoying this! Wonderful video!! Very educational and relaxing.
OMG! Really nice restoration! Hey! I´m doing dioramas. It would be great fun to make a joint thing building a diorama for your next restoration. Just let me know and I´ll give it a go.
50 years on I have started buying HW cars again. My first one I bought in 1970 or so was this model Camaro in a copper colour, then a T-Bird, and then a Barracuda. I wish I still had them.
I used to do this with 1/12'th scale cars, lambos, chevy etc. I used to change their colours monthly just 'cause I could, swap wheels & stuff, good fun.
not sure why, but it very relaxing to watch these videos. i am not into cars at all and i am not sure how i got here. it is quite an art and i can appreciate the time and talent it takes to get this good at restoring these cars
I have a question. I have hundreds of cars that only need slight repainting (especially the wheels.) Do I still need to remove all of the parts of the car?
Or, what i do is i mask off the rest of the car, dip a toothpick in the colour i want and paint in the tiny details. then after they are dry scrape away what you dont want then clear coat it.
Very interesting. I never grew up on hot wheels nor do I have a collection. But that was such an improvement and love the color purple. Do these miniature cars have shows like real cars? Just curious.
Yeah I just went to a show in Niagra falls a few weeks ago. Never see n so many hot wheels in one place before. I got the mystery machine in the package for a buck. Sweet deal.
I grew up with HotWheels. Job-wise I've never known what to do with myself. But I wish I stayed with it so that I could do something like this (at least be a gopher of whatever for when you need supplies or Chinese take out).
Thank you so much for your videos just found this channel I love Hot Wheels for a very long time and started to collect them again after 25 years of not collecting beautiful work
I dont know how I got to this channel but I did, farout, brings back some memories for sure, I had this car too, and many others you feature from the 70's
I did a real 69 Camaro SS back in 77, and the resto-mod job took 3 months. Every piece of trim, molding, etc. was removed, and the car was stripped down to the original paint/primer. The body was perfect, straight, and had no filler. Next was six coats of primer with a guide coat on top, and after a week of block sanding was sealed. next was a scuff pad and wipe before setting her in the booth for a day and half to acclimate and let any vapors off. For paint was 78 Corvette dark blue metallic lacquer, and four coats of it. This was followed by water-sanding to take off the glaze and open it up for the next step of two coats of clear with a teaspoon of blue pearl in it. Driving this car down Sunset Strip in LA was a blast at night.........seeing this done to HW cars was refreshing at the least.
Keith Lucas that's cool,the first car I bought and restored was a 72 camaro split bumper,and the paintjob was well......pretty much gone so I primed it with and black primer coat,gold base coat I think I did a metallic gold base coat and then I did a candy apple red paintjob over that and then wetsanded and buffed etc etc but I did the black interior with leather bucket seats and a brushed steel I got from another project I put in door panels and across the dash as decoration and a holley 650 4 barrel carb(I believe), I had on and then the edelbrock intake I took apart and put a k&n high performance filter and cleaned out the motor cause I felt that's all that really needed to be done other than the carb and stuff I did but as a teenager as soon as I got a offer to buy it and I saw the cash I went for it and I kinda wish I kept it but I'm kinda glad I didn't at the same time
cookcars1 That is true, but Mattel did make a mistake, my 67 Camaro Hot Wheels car was made in 1982 without vent Windows making it appear to be a 68. I guess they figured no one would notice so why spend money on vent windows.
ultimaetsolder milliampage and amps are no joke they will kill you more than likely voltage will and should be taken seriously like all electrical currents
I came across this vid quite by accident. It was amongst the recommended vids to the right of a vid I had been watching. I have no idea why it was recommended, but I watched the whole thing and quite enjoyed it.
booooo I liked the damaged blue look it was nice, can you make a custom hot wheel car with a damaged mat paint look, make it look like a car that's been thought a lot
Restored cars go for less than original cars of the same condition for sure.. I could probably get 25$-50$ for this car restored. I paid 5$ for it. A near mint original can go for several hundred.. I don't have a mint original... I have a 5$ car that I can sell for more than 5$.. I am rather sure that is not "worth Less"... People sell restored cars on ebay all the time and I am sure they are not doing it at a loss... www.ebay.com/itm/Hot-Wheels-Redline-1968-HK-Honey-Gold-Custom-Cougar-White-Int-Restored-/291981756179?hash=item43fb780713:g:wR0AAOSwo4pYXsef
I've been buying and selling Hot Wheels and Matchbox for 30+ years and have a few thousand in inventory. I can say without a doubt that blue Camaros are not selling for hundreds of dollars and if you can get $25-$50 for that resto then you should jump on it but I think you are way high on your estimate. Also considering the man-hours invested it really isn't worth doing for $25. Don't get me wrong you did a nice job but if you are in it for the money then you are going to lose big time.

Good video because it does not have the obnoxious background music/noise.
The video also has a good subject and good content.

Amazing re-build! Looks as good as the real 1968 Camaro as well!! *10/10 JOB*
Back in the late 70’s to early 80’s we would ArmorAll our vinyl tops and they would be very very shiny, so that look to me is actually pretty cool.
I’m restoring my Matchbox Ferrari F40 made from the 1988

I'd like to see more of what happens if the car is in the acid too long
sure... I can do a video on that...

these cars takes me back to my youth. I still have 4 car cases full of my old Hot Wheels.
Those prices in the book are probably Hong Kong Dollars.
Dash Kadam Nope... USD, I have actually seen some exceptionally rare Hot Wheels cars go for as much as 11k USD

Actually they can go for as much as 100k. Rear loader pink beach bomb prototype was sold for that price a few years ago.

I do t even own hot wheels anymore but have been watching several of these videos. Great work.
I find these restoration videos fascinating.
I tried this on my real car. It looks worse now.
Did you cut the wheels off?
How many toothbrushes did you need?
Drop it in acid
I have a question. I have hundreds of cars that only need slight repainting (especially the wheels.) Do I still need to remove all of the parts of the car?
Nanis Meelasla its best to. Easier to paint, you dont have to worry about getting it on any other parts
Or, what i do is i mask off the rest of the car, dip a toothpick in the colour i want and paint in the tiny details. then after they are dry scrape away what you dont want then clear coat it.
They cost a dollar at the store, just buy another. lol
+Stinky Crayons Most of them are not sold/sold with different paint

Very interesting. I never grew up on hot wheels nor do I have a collection. But that was such an improvement and love the color purple. Do these miniature cars have shows like real cars? Just curious.
Actually yes there are shows where people trade hot wheels cars
And there are shows for customized Hot Wheels.
Yeah I just went to a show in Niagra falls a few weeks ago. Never see n so many hot wheels in one place before. I got the mystery machine in the package for a buck. Sweet deal.

Is that a 1968 Camaro while this is a "1967 Matel inc Hongkong" Hotwheel?
Yes?
the 1967 is the company's trademark was registered. lots of products have this on it.
All My Toys I have one that says 67 but it doesn't have a vent window so it looks like a 68.

A real 1968 Camaro would have appeared in Chevy dealer showrooms in September of 1967.
cookcars1 That is true, but Mattel did make a mistake, my 67 Camaro Hot Wheels car was made in 1982 without vent Windows making it appear to be a 68. I guess they figured no one would notice so why spend money on vent windows.
I remember a white tow truck Larry's Tow. I really miss that hot wheel. Know where I could get a replacement? I've not seen one in decades.

There's enough amperage bit not nearly enough voltage to even hurt you when using a 12v battery charger. The acid is a bigger threat than the charger.
