"You don't want the truck to look like the empty bed is weighing it down"
My man, you have never been to North Carolina, then
Lol...
Trucks with the front jacked up and the bed low looks stupid no matter what state you're in. Trust me every time we see one we all laugh and make fun of it. But I guess some people can only afford to lift half their truck.
that's the Florida squat
Gunner Ginn (
I was thinking the same thing LOL
I love 3am car restorations!
DisllexiaReuls BMHW gonna rock ya!
ikr? this one's clever as hell, too. I love it.
Me too
Currently at my night job. 3:19 am watching this lol
6am
MY MAAANNNN😂😂 He really just said to not squat it😂, this is already my fav yt
I love this guy, he's letting kids know squated trucks are bad
Great job ...I wonder if a spring from a ball point pen would fit on the upright part of the clip making it look like shocks ?
Justin Clark probably will look a bit oversized on these types of cars. but it is doable in terms of possibility.
Jörgen Börg yeah your right mate ....keep these videos coming enjoy them
I think you could have easily wound some red or blue coated wire around the paperclip to make shocks.
I feel the pen spring idea would work, might have to see which pens have a smaller spring, I’m gonna try this.
*Given the size relative to actual coils on a lifted truck, I think pen springs would be a great representation. I would look for those pens companies use to advertise. The cheapest, most mass-produced ones you can find. Nice and thin springs.*
You have literally become the Michaelangelo of custom hot wheels.
The wire straighter literally blew my mind. Like how did i not think of that?
idk man
Thank you for sharing these techniques and tips on lifting 1/64 diecast cars! Great tip on straightening the paperclip wire. It would be neat to see this with the suspension springs and colored covers to make them look real.
You could use springs from a pen
For a bit of realism you can cover your drop down wires with ballpoint pen Springs to look like actual suspension Springs. Just subscribed love watching a good Craftsman.
Excellent tutorial. I had started bending paperclips to raise a 83 Silverado. Your method fixed a dead end I ran into, thank you.👍👍
nice tip on the piece of steel with a small hole and drill for straightening metal wire!
Thank you so much! I just took an old Ford panel van and turn it into a monster truck! I tried using the spring mechanism that you showed in the tutorial, but I was having a really hard time getting into work. It was just too stiff. So instead I took a single paper clip boil it in the center, and then used it as a single spring. It was much softer! Thank you so much again for the video man!
I never knew staples could be used this creatively. And it seems to work pretty well. Thanks for showing this method.
WOW!!! We love this one!
Clever straightening technique. Absolutely brilliant paperclip suspension!!
Your how to videos are absolutely magnificent they only hail in comparison to your talent! Please keep it up as all of us in the diecast Community certainly appreciate what you bring to the table.
That was marvellous! Pure knowledge and experience! Thank you! The so tiny suspension that actually works - AWESOME! Definitely want to try it.
Just caught your suspension upgrade..all I can say is AWESOME! I enjoy catchinng your videos..great job!!
Here's a question: Have you ever considered making customs to sell? Because some of your customs would be worth buying.
I sell pictures of my privates online. I make quite a bit of money off of it too.
Yeah we always want to laugh
Oooooh! Ouch.
@@noveske.2236 and you get space to make new models
"Hello everyone and welcome back" Such beautiful words to hear xx
I have already done something like that twice when I was 13-14... good times!!
I didn't know I needed this truck project. Yet, you impressed me.
This is, by far, the craziest thing I've ever seen in my life, regarding car miniatures. And, also, the coolest idea.
Congratulations, sir.
Best video to watch while high
Same. Lol.
Great job on the geometry and set up of this suspension lift. And something I just noticed because I just learned this week on a trip to the scrap yard, you are displaying your cars on a hard drive disk. .....I grabbed a stack of them because they were shiny. Lol.
Really cool design. Not only does it work but it looks correct to real life lift kits. Would like to see this used on a Mad Max sometime.
"In essence, the axles will *spring* to life", oh you!
Hey baremetalHW I've been watching your videos for about 3 weeks now, and I've become quite amazed at what you do, I myself am a younger HW collector, and has recently found a 50 Years Impala tampo error! its crooked! anyways I love your content and have started to custom myself! I also especially love your redline Restorations
SOOO HELPFUL!!! I'm currently using this method to lift a fully custom car I'm building. Thanks man!!!
I typically don't care for lifted trucks, but that looks really good!
This was exactly what my son needed he loves making custom cars and this video helped him so much! Thank you
That truck is lifted, bare your so gifted, I like the way you got that truck so high.
2:05 that was so cool
Hol' up-
that is genious. so simple with basic tools and yet has a nice look. only need some extra addons to look like it's reallife lifted😀
Right? You can paint the suspension black or whatever and it will look awesome.
Börk
Amazing. Those Datsun trucks were a favorite of my grandad.
Looks like a lot of fun! I have a LOT of trucks in my collection. Gonna have to give it a shot. Thanks for sharing 😎👍🏽
Classy and simple. Thank you again for another stellar video
Wow, i never thought of this technique to bend symmetrical. Thanks. Nice work. Really cool technique.
2am and binging on HotWheels restorations! God I love youtube!
Wow! Simply amazed! Very neat and cheap way to make a lifted hot wheels
This channel is amazing. You are amazing. You are doing things I wished I could do when I was little, but forgot as I grew up. You are living da dream, man!
Thanks for the video, I have made my first lifted car with working suspension based on this design and it works great! It's a HW Porsche 356A. Keep up the good work.
Simple, but brilliant. Love it!
Dude what a mechanism! think I will give it a go
The suspension looks awesome thanks for sharing
That is the most clever build that I have ever seen...Well done!
Wow! Simple and awesome! Great job!
Super cool video, sir. That is about the most simple explanation and demonstration of a 4 link suspension lift.
Man, how do you not fall asleep doing this. Watching this is so relaxing...
aaaand Hot Wheels should hire you to design some models for them.
Dude I knew you were skilled but this a whole different level! Great job!
That's really awesome! I'll try that in some of my trucks I intend to customize!
This video was quite uplifting. Thanks for it! :D
It was really a pleasure to watch this. 👍🏾
Dual rear exaust would have made it perfect! Love your collection
That is really creative, and it looks and works great! Fantastic job!
I've seen a lot of your videos and I absolutely love all the cool stuff you do, this has to be one of my favorites so far, that is such a cool idea!!!!
Saw this 5 years ago and just did it.. worked out great.
Pretty fun project. I lifted a VW bug using your method … LOL.
Super cool bud! Thanks for sharing 👍👍
Fantastic video, i have tried so many methods and failed but this one is genius and easy to master after a couple of tries, thank you for sharing this method, George
You are awesome man love your videos some nice tips and tricks on mods and restos thanks for passing on the knowledge
Wow, alot of engineering went into that. Great job!
Your video made my LUV project look better then what I was doing. My first try made for a neat 50th anne ranchero w/ purple lift kit. And 2nd try a cool 35 ford truck. Thanks.
This is just the video I was looking for. Will try it myself. Thanks
Dude you are bad ass!!! I don't even know what to say lol!!! Great job on everything!!!
Ingenious!!!! Well done!
Dooope, used to have a 73 datsun 620, best first car ever. Sadly sold out a few months ago, good little trucks though. Million good memories in that thing
😮😮😮 dude that was awesome, thanks for sharing 😃
Absolutely brilliant 10/10 fantastic job amazingly so cool from Tasmania Australia Awesome job mate
Man thats clever! Im going to do this to an old hot wheels chevy Silverado im going to restore! Awesome thanks for the tip!
By far one of your best videos brother.
So simple,
Yet so amazing 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
You make it look so easy.............but you're a real crafsman! New sub.
Amazing to see it works....Ill try it for sure
This was an awsome idea ...thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for this video i lifted a mazda repu the same way
Wow! You are so talented and make it look so easy!
so cool love the result
Thanks for the setup i had put it on a truck with a lift so there's was more steps for me but I managed to put better lookin suspension on it in the end that actually works
I like being creative, recently had an interest in watching TH-cam videos, the video is interesting, its actually a working suspension and is easy to do. Thank you for the video
That truck looks great! Man I wish I had your touch!
Dude, u are insane and love your work ❗I'm a car modeler and some of my builds according to others, are off of the hook. I come up with some of my wild builds in the weirdest places. Isn't funny how you can be at a party or with a bunch of friends or even driving and not paying any attention what's so ever, cause your thoughts on how to make it work go thru your mind 😂 Nice work man 😍
than u so much bud !!
Super neat! Love it!
I tried this.....and needles the say I failed Miserably 😂 this guy is a boss at custom hot wheels!
Cool, turned out great
This is nicely done, I have a truck that’s perfect to try this out on ASAP
That’s a great customizing trick. I might try this with colored paper clips. It would look like the suspension is powder coated. Chrome is cool too.
You're a wizard.. thank you sir!!
Very cool! Quite the skill you have with these.
I totally love this idea man. I would love to try this with the dragster bug. The red one or blue one. I’m going to a flea market soon and hope to do this with some oldies. Thanks for the idea! Love ur vids.
I am Alex we need oh my girl. Girl group
I am Alex I
I am Alex I love hunting for older cars at flea markets and thrift stores!
Reimagined Hot Wheels me too!
Don't oldies are rare
That's so cool i like it 👍
Amazing! :) Very clever to boot!
Thanks for the great idea, i had make 1 as my first customize project
best technique I've seen so far
Great work!
How far you bend the V would be caster adjustment on a real car. Neat suspension idea, kind of a modified leaf spring set up. I was thinking the caster changing under load would be weird, but it really isn't. Looks great.
That’s pretty ingenious, really!
Thank you BaremetalHW for this great video, made some great trucks with this. Things I've learned on my own, electrical square pliers can be used to straiten with drill squeeze gently and run across. The wind up spring from the pull back cars makes great springs when straitened out. Some trucks like the sandblaster that don't have a flat chassis....make it flat dremel, donor plastic epoxy.
this looks very cool. I;m gonna try this out myself
I am going to try this. It is just so cool!
Your handy work is Awesome! You make it look professional and super easy. I know when I try it tomorrow imma have a battle on my hands.😅
