Today I work on an actual dirty, crusty, 1:18 Scale Hot Wheels Corvette. This thing lived in a box in someone's garage that had water damage. The whole thing reeked like cat pee, all the crust on that thing is the real deal, look at the interior its so gross.

If you don't mind, could a few of you have a look at the amazon link for the supply shop? Would you rather see the normal list of tools in the description or is the new store format more appealing? I appreciate your input! Have a great weekend!!
I like the ease of finding a product I would be looking for. I like this format.
I like it!
Very nice! Thank you!
You should do the T/A in a candy purple
You should paint the T/A in candy purple
Should do more 1/18 cars nobody else really does them.
I agree, they are way more satisfying than small hotwheels or matchboxes
Ill try work them in on a regular basis!
I've been restoring / modifying them for over 5 years now... Just don't film it or put it on TH-cam !!! Its a great hobby !!!
Right it's really hard to find dioramas in 1/18 they would have so much great detail i love 1/18 scale
I'm liking the bigger cars mate. But as always a fantastic job. Enjoy your weekend
Not very many people get out of their comfort zone but they don’t understand it just makes you better when you do! Thanks for the new!
The Trans Am should be a replica of Smokey and the Bandit.
Ae86 Hachi finally, someone said it! I'm beginning to wonder if any of the umpteen people suggesting that have ever even seen the movie!
I got off work, stopped to pick up dinner. Came home to set down and eat. BOOM!! Here's part 2 of the 1:18 scale corvette. It turned out PIMP! Can't wait to see what you do with the Merc, and the Trans Am! Whoever wins this vette is one lucky dude, or dudette. Have a great weekend! As always, thank you for the kickass content.
Outstanding! You seriously need to do more 1:18 scale!
Just a suggestion for you, as a bowler we have foam sanding pads for our bowling balls. Super nice for nooks and crannies. Just search bowling abralon pad and they'll pop up anywhere. Might work nice for these projects!
I only build collect and repair 1/18th scale cars . I have watched you because I want to learn more on diecast prep , repair and paint. I built plastic kits for 50 yrs then then I switched to diecast. I have never used an air brush but have had good luck with rattle cans. Because of builders like you I have purchased an airbrush and will soon hopefully gather courage to use it. lol. That Hotwheels Merc originally came with a nice surf board that clicks in place in the back and sticks out the window. I buy a lot of wrecked and broken cars for repair or just parts box. I collect new and used cars that are supposedly mint but you'd be surprised how bad the paint and glass is on a lot of low and higher dollar cars from most of the companies. I've never seen them as bad as that Vette or the Merc. Super job . Looks great. Good call on leaving off the decals.
I'll admit I was skeptical at first but you really nailed it. I used to own a 1973 Firebird so I'm very interested in seeing what you do with it. A restoration would be great. Subbed today.
David P I have a diecast one exactly like he showed, but perfect condition in-box on my dresser that I got from my grandpa.
@@Genesis385 A Firebird? What year?
David P as far as the production year of the model, I’m not sure. But it’s a ‘73 super duty 455
@@Genesis385 There were only 252 super duty 455's made in 1973. Very rare car. Treasure that diecast!
D.R. Dude! 🤯
She is an absolute Beauty!
Instead of watching it on my phone, I watched it on the big screen.
My favourite one to date.😁
I did the same thing. I had to screen mirror from my phone to my TV because I wanted to see this thing close up. No way a 6.5"screen was going to be able to show me what I wanted to see.
@@sped6954
Yes my phone would not have given this car justice. 😀
Well worth the wait! Looking snazzy! Assembly was a lot more involved than I thought it would have been.
Hey you definitely know what your doing, this is only a suggestion. I soak my wet dry sandpaper overnight. It makes it soft and no chance for an edge burn. I love your channel!!!! Keep up the great work!
I was thrilled to see you do a 1/18 scale diecast. I collect these 1/18 scale cars but only cars I’ve actually owned over the years. It’s difficult because many models never found there way to the diecast market. The 1/18 scale can be very easily customized to match a vehicle you owned or wanted! For example the 1962 Chevrolet diecast usually has the 409 engine, mine was a 327. So I found a 327 1/18 scale engine online and swapped it out. With 1/18 scale you can easily make the interiors the way they were on your own car. The dash is big enough for custom instrumentation as well. With patience ignition wires and battery wires can be added to the engine. I also had a 1965 GTO; mine had a vinyl top, my diecast car has a painted top. I’m trying to figure out a way to get a vinyl look on the top. I considered trying the Redline shop black vinyl look paint but the grain pattern is too small, it looks good on 1/64. Older 1/18 models have opening trunk (Boot) lids and trunk (Boot) interiors. 1/18 is also pretty easy to electrify, I’ve never done one but with the tiny LEDS and micro switches we have today it should be easy. I really appreciated watching you tear down the Corvette. I’ve opened up many cars in this scale but never figured out how to remove the melt-weld-rivet parts. I’ve also tried using styrene pieces to make drive-shafts and exhaust pipes. Most 1/18 scale diecast, especially newer ones have less detail on the undercarriage. Your method of touching up the chrome was great; I wonder if that would work on new styrene pieces? If you try and buy any 1/18 online shoot for older models from the 90’s. If the trunk (Boot) opens it’ll have much more detail. In my opinion the newer Burago and Maisto have a little less detail. There are other brands with more detail but they can get pricey. The Burago and Maisto usually sold in “Club” stores around the holidays for $19.95 There are also many 1/18 scale odds-n-ends online for making dioramas or adding accessories. I’d bet with a 3D printer you could add an 8 track tape deck to the dash. Sorry this is so long, but I’ve been watching TH-cam for some time waiting to see a guy with YOUR expertise do a 1/18 scale car. This is GREAT keep doing these; I’d say you’ll get many more subscribers. Best of luck. P.S. I don’t see the Scotch-Brite rotary tool polishing brushes on the Amazon links.
That Woody Merc has Jimmy Pimp ride written all over it! That paint is absolutely beautiful after the wet sand and buff so glad you put that extra effort into it because it is killer!
That paint is popping!!! That wet sanded and polished out like a mirror. Great job!!!👍👍👍
Its all in the wrist buddy!
1-18 scale is pimp. Also that paintjob is amazing. At the end, on the rotisserie, it looked like one of those shiny showroom cars.
The Quicksilver gives it a bit of a brushed aluminum or stainless look, I think it looks pretty good. If you hadn't already put it all together I'd suggest doing all the chrome in the Quicksilver.
What a beautiful result! That colour is simply awesome. Somewhere, out in the boondocks, is a 1/18 scale barn full of crusty cars, full of dead spiders and mouse crap, with your name on. And you can bring 'em back from the dead. Have a good weekend.
Thanks Brian, I wish i had more.
Almost spit my drink out with the Seinfeld reference “George is getting angry” hahaha. Great job as always- that finish was fantastic!
Yep, I'm delighted. Please do more 1/18 resurrections!
i like this! am often looking at matchbox restorations and these bigger ones seems to offer so many more opportunities. leather interior, additional details in the engine bay, custom painted rims... exhaust pipes drilled open or a Map on the passenger Seat... don't be afraid to go beyond "restoration".
and yes. The paint is awesome. Sekseh!!!
The 1/18 are impressive.. Much better detail than the smaller models.. Excellent work you have done...Look forward to the Trans-Am restoration..
I want this so bad, paint is gorgeous man. Best restore channel out there.
I have been watching your Channel since 2018 and in all your videos are so informative and helpful. I used to build plastic models of cars. never used the airbrush before I'd use can aerosol spray. I detail engines and the interior of cars so I'm good with the inside. This is part of the first message I left you which included my phone number. I am a US Marine veteran and this helps me to relax that's why I collect these 1:18 Scale model cars. I do have nine other model cars that I call my superhero cars and they are Batman the Knight Rider car Batwoman Catwoman Superwoman Iron Man I like to build sort of a background scene for these 1:24 scale superhero cars because they come with the action figure.
For the T/A. The hot color for that year was White with Blue trim. Also Gold with black trim. I'm sure your choice will be amazing. Nice job with Vette.
I just got into 1:18 collecting myself. So far, 1 Autoworld Ecto 1, 1 Autoworld white 1970 Dodge Challenger 383 R/T, 1 Greenlight 1970 Vanishing Point Dodge Challenger 440 Magnum, 1 Autoworld 1968 Yellow Dodge Charger R/T, 1 Autoworld 1969 Dodge Charger R/T General Lee, 1 Autoworld 1970 Gold Dodge Charger R/T 50th Anniversary Edition, 1 Autoworld 2008 Orange Dodge Challenger Concept, 1 Red Spirit GT resin 2018 Dodge Challenger Demon #265, 1 Hot Wheels Elite K.I.T.T., 1 ERTL 1969 Turquoise Dodge Charger R/T and 1 Hotwheels Blue 1969 Dodge Charger R/T.
Anyhow, great job on that restoration! Looks perfect! You got a sub for your fine work, and to help get that printer you want!
Great great, paintjob..in memory of my late friend John Trippi, who died in a car crash but owned a 1973 "Candy Apple" Red Convertable Corvette, done by Brooklyn's Zaino Brothers..(Ironic car crash was in a rental in Florida 1988)
Excellent job on the rebuild i like how you went with a candy red looks better than the original color red. It took me back to when i had a '69 Stingray wished i still owned it, looked like the lighter red color before you painted it and it had side pipes. Love your video's you're a genius on these rebuilds. Takes me to another world with no worries keep em coming.
Another awesome rescue!!! Looks amazing and I love these bigger vehicles. I watch all your videos, but I haven’t commented for ages. I just wanna day thank you because your videos have helped me so much with the metalwork restorations I do, not vehicles, but the hints and tips you give have genuinely given me the confidence to work on metal, so thank you. I just got myself a sand blasting cabinet and so that will definitely help. Thank you so much and keep up the awesome work and brilliant humour and banter. 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Man you should do a 50/50 paint job on the firebird with the door jams the stock color let it look like that mid 90s survivor with ten repainted over the year that all of us Motörhead’s remember from high school
You are the best restoration guy on TH-cam hands down excellent job
You are the only kid on the block with a killer paint job on their Corvette... sweet red
Incredible paint job - good work! The side pipes came out great, too.
Model is a little odd for people that obsessed over Corvettes around the time of the "Silver Anniversary" when they were in HS (not naming names). Backup lights are right for a '69 ('68 had them under the bumperettes next to the license plate) but door handles are from a '68 (the pushbutton was dropped for '69 and what had been just the hand hold became the latch). The side-marker lights are also missing (not required in '68, required in '69). On the regular Hot Wheels you can't really see that stuff but on a 1/18th scale ...
Did I mention that the paint was incredible? And yes, looking forward to the '70 T/A even though I don't like T/As. :)
I have been waiting patiently all day for this video and now I am going to have to stay up late to watch it 😌
It's OK, it's only 20 minutes long.
I like your hotwheels resurrection videos. The large cars are fun too!
Man, the result is simply amazing. The paint job looks perfect. Wouldn't mind putting this baby on display in my house. BTW I'm thinking that these big cars would be perfect candidates for LED upgrades.
Happy to to see your doing 1/18 scale. The paint job on this really made this car. Please do more! I don't think white or silver decals would improve the car. Thanks
YESSSSSS! On the lace candied Woody! 😍
Oh buddy that came out fantastic! Wet sanding did the trick man.. Looking forward to some 1/18 work from you.. That is BOSS bub! Enjoy your weekend Austin.
You knock that Chevy Corvette Stingray out of the park that came out looking so good👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 that model came out so 🔥!
I love your work mate. I find if I add some dish washing soap in the water when you wet sand paint or clear coat, it makes your paper last and the cutting the orange peel from top coat will look better and be easier. Regards from Australia..
Malotow liquid chrome pen. Best chrome touchup I've ever used on my 1/18 models!
Mmmmmazing paint color and really liking these larger scale builds. Can' t wait to see the Merc!
That is probably one of the most beautiful reds I've ever seen on a car, real or model. The hard work and extra time you spent on the paint really paid off!
That's incredible! Wow! What a tranformation! Great job!😎👍
I've been collecting 1/18 since 96, at one point I had 1500 cars. That didn't include 21st century toys stuff vehicles and aircraft that I also collected. A couple of nasty divorces and lost 99% of my collection dwindling down my 1/18 die-cast collection to 25 cars. Still remember it like it was yesterday, had lots of cars worth some serious coin now. Had a yellow version of this car. Had this red one as well but used it for parts (engine, wheels, and drive train) which I put into a Maisto Chevelle. I have a little over 500 18th scale now. Also have a teal blue version of that woody along with a blue version of that TA.
You did an excellent job,despite the decal issue.Paint job is fabulous!Do the T/A next if you can I want to see how it turns out!
I got a lot of satisfaction from you polishing this car.
Even Jimmy's impressed you really outdid yourself this time
1972 Trans Am! Could repaint in Dark Green Poly please ? Corvette came out wonderfully! Like the red. 🤩Watch out for the fuzz!🚓🚓👍🏻👍🏻
Trans Am. Black and gold trim. Gold trims. Like the bandit. Kick ass!
Beautiful paint. You got me all nervous with the super glue.
Me too. I kept thinking the loose fingertips of one of his gloves was going to grab on to a tiny dot of glue and spread it all over a panel before he even realized that it was happening. A couple times I thought he was going to pull his finger away and have that all too familiar sight of a filament of super glue trailing behind. Damn I hate when that happens!
Totally beautiful job , Austin, looks fantastic!
Another fantastic paint job! You have finishes down to a science.
Diecast Resurrection , just a quick tip, try to throw on some wax and grease remover before you apply the polish, it’ll turn out without the waves and and blurry spots
By far, your best build to date!! As much as I enjoy the smaller cars getting redone, there is just more to look at (details) on the larger ones!
I'm glad you showed people how to sand and polish! Looks great! 👍👍
Part 2 didn't disappoint. The Vette came out wicked cool. Now I'm dying to see that sweet 73 455 SD Trans Am get brought back. If you are looking for a rare factory way to build her, Brewster green is the rarest. A sick candy green would look truly wicked too. Keep up the stellar work and I'll catch ya on your next video. Btw enjoy your camping this weekend.
Full on resto and paint looks fantastic!! Cannot wait to see that super duty trans - am
my cousins and I all shared a VW bug about this size back in the70s. It's likely full of sand and shit but if I can beat it out of one of them, I'll send it in for you to mess with. This was gorgeous
That paint is beautiful! You never fail to amaze. Can’t wait till you get to the rest is the 1/16’s. Have fun camping.
Thanks Ed! I'm looking forward to them as well :D
Hi in 1/18 scale this is your masterpiece!!👍👍👍👍👍, I love this scale because there are so many details. I'm excited to see the results of the other both cars you showed, especially the TRANS AM Superduty because I'm a fan of that style.
Best wishes and greetings!
That was one hell of paint job, just amazing!!
I've got a tip on your chrome parts, use oven cleaner to get the chrome off, then redo the part with a Molotow chrome pen. Easier and with fantastic result.
Awesome job the paint looks slick 👍
You excelled yourself with this car. Top work.
Excellent job! Love the paint!
Wow. What a gorgeous car. That interior was trash and ended up so nice. The paint is spectacular! Great job!!!
Paint turned out great, worth the effort 👍😎
Try using a $300 laser printer and White Laser Decal Paper to make your decals with white backgrounds. No need to buy a $2500 printer unless you want to custom make resin parts for the hot wheels.
Stunning! One of the many things that sets your work above the other channels is the paint jobs, they're always glass smooth! Schweeeet!
Totally awesome. I would've done just one more thing and detailed the grill with some black....and maybe inside the Rally Wheels. But overall, it's 100% better than new !
Perfect . I'm think smokey and the bandit with the trans-am
What a good restoration, an excellent job. Congratulations
I'll admit, I had my doubts. However that paint job is damn near immaculate. Very well done!
Thanks man, that was my first 1:18 scale paint job. I’m getting it figured out now. 👍👍
Awesome restoration , Sir !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have out done yourself with this one.... wow!!!!
I've always liked old classic cars, mainly because my dad and brother's influence. However I've never really been too interested in them, and I don't know much about em. Now that I've been watching yours and other people's videos, when I see a cool lookin classic car on the road, I think to myself, "Look at the details on that thing" lol.
Corvette came out awesome, very nice work.
Awesome job, simply awesome. Thanks.
That paint job though. Flawless!
I love channels where I can hit like before the video even starts because I know it's never bad. You rock dude.
Enjoyed that a lot. Looking forward to the others👍👍👍
The finished product is definitely nice. Your painting skills are above all. Try spritzing it with some detailer. I tried that on a plastic model car, that I cleared with Tamiya clear, from the can, then I kind of buffed it out and it really brought out the shine after that.
For a minute, I had thought maybe you'd do a whole Corvette Summer conversion yourself. Would take a lot of work, but that sparkle paint job on the original is sweet..something you definitely could do.
This looks great... great paint job
Again, another amazing job. You never disappoint and from what you started with is a spectacular finish.
Oh, I’m home and at the right place any the right time. Back from business baby... and I can’t wait to see this cherry 🍒 pie rock my world. Yaaass!!!!!!
and that my friends.....is how it's done....nice job Sir
That paint is superb!
What a fantastic restoration. Love the paint job. Also, loved that mobile home /camper thing in the background.
Totally awesome restoration job.
Awsome work keep it up me and my granddaughter love your channel
Love the random movie quotes . That turned out beautiful ,I used to work with a guy who had a convertible 69 red with a small sunset painted on the back deck was ,the car was pure eye candy.
Flawless paint job really shows off the curves. This restoration has really raised the bar. Awesome work, as usual.
Excellent!!!
Maybe the t top and windshield frame should have been painted chrome also?
Sweeeet! Hyped up for the Trans Am and Merc now! This would be top 3 of your best paint jobs yet, love the colour and genius idea to paint the pipes and front bumper in quicksilver.
Kind of a weird coincidence you talking about getting a white decal printer, Wheels and Thangs posted a video earlier in the week showing the one he just picked up second hand.
Can't wait to see the Merc and the TA. This Vette is Epic.....
Another great build paint looks tight bruh!!! Cant wait for the bext build
