While not the intent with this build, but with the effect of from the CD coating and the pre-painted clear wheels you had the beginnings of a strong vaporwave (or perhaps even cyberpunk) aesthetic that would be interesting to see explored.
My dad and uncle had redlines and there still at my grandpas house and I really wish I could play with and restore Them but poor grandpa is old and he isn’t able to get them from upstairs and send them. My dad wished he could see them again too. You are my Favorite creative youtuber and I look at you as my favorite guide. I am so happy we ACTUALLY met, Thank you so much Zack.
I am happy you are back. Thank you for putting the time and effort into doing this as a hobby. I have taken this up as a hobby when I was first introduced to your channel. This has helped me with my mental wellbeing, especially over the past year.
Woooah - sum it up. You can: paint parts using brushes, aerograph, poweder coat, you can etch, use electrolysis, plate parts, and apply metallic paint. You can make stickers, laser etch, and wet transfer. You can 3D print parts from resin, cast from metals and plastic, and uh, cut from CDs. You have full paint booth, nice surface to work with and decent camera setup. You're narrating your videos with calm, rich voice, explaining step by step, and building library of how-to videos while sharing your project cars, or other way around, while showing off your projects you're teaching the community how things are done, while also mentioning don'ts, pitfalls and failures. The last part never changed, but you've come long way from start of your channel.
My favorite thing about Aircraft® brand paint stripper is the big warning on the label: NOT FOR USE ON AIRCRAFT. The car came out amazing, particularly given what a state it was in at the start, but I think you're right that the wheels are too big. In the comparison shot, the restored one looks like it's in some kind of spurious "off-road" mode like they always used to give supercars in TV shows in the '80s and '90s. :)
For applying the transfer paper to the metal, using a tool called a brayer lets you apply pressure evenly. Just something I came across some years ago for similar applications, thanks for the videos!
Man you're amazing. You've taken things that like 95% of people would throw in the trash and turned them into something 100% of people would love to own. Even if you don't like toys or cars you can appreciate the amount of skill and effort it self and makes the item worthy of a place in any home.
This is an incredible resto-mod. The stance and colors used for this car redefine its character completely in a revamped, wicked-beastly cool way. Fabulous job and amazing creativity!
Go dig up the Frist Museum page on the prototype - I'm sure the windshield/door has a *little* curve to it ... but watch the video. It's pretty damn close to flat!
For a while there, I was watching a LOT of diecast channels. Now it's just you - others went insane or just stopped. I like your production style and I like your modeling technique. Glad to see you back in the game!
I will have to say, I really enjoy your videos. You are always improving your skills, like the photo etch. You have inspired me in a lot a ways in hobby world. Thanks for taking the time to share what you have learned on the way.
Boss that Windshield outta a CD disc is AWESOME looking and a great use of a repurposed material.. You really are Great at what you do. I'm just starting on my first car and I love watching you.
You sir, are the Mr Wizard of matchbox car building. Turned out quite nice, using cd plastic is inspired, especially that incredible rainbow finish it leaves. The tires look amazing, and the gunmetal is a great choice for body color. Great video all around.
It's always so good to watch your work, it is awesome! CD windshield looks marvelous, in line with 80-s and "outrun aesthetics", just as those bigger wheels. I am not doing any restorations myself, but I think that you did right this these decisions. Thank you for all you hard work and I am so glad you returned! =)
And I meant a real mustang not a toy car. But I'm going to say you're painted version is way better than the one on the right you did an awesome job and I am so happy that your back making videos.
“I need more practice scratch-building CD windshields.” There’s a phrase your 10-year old mind would have never conceived! Haha! That freakin Moonwalker 3D comic tho!! 😮😮 Awesome! That’s something my 19-yr old self would have gone nuts for back in 88 had my 19-yr old self been paying more attention to life. 😂🤷♂️
1:27 Thank you for showing me this!!! I remember seeing this scene in a movie as a kid, but didn't know what it was called or have seen it since. It's one of those bothersome memories that had no answer. Thank you
Hey BM, always enjoy your videos, I gotta make some constructive criticism about the tyres, the ones you printed were far too tall in the sidewall and lacked a very necessary vintage sidewall profile, Modern radials are more flat sides and square to the tread while classic vintage tyres with a racing style to them have the sidewall bow out then taper back inwards to the tread and rim, also that period a small guide ring was moulded into the tyre to help guide a thin white line so popular in Europe back then, tyre profile is VEEEEERY important to keeping things period correct and stand out a LOT to a car guy like me, anyway just my opinion
I never knew a toy version of the futuristic, concept sports car that Michael Jackson transforms into from _Moonwalker_ existed. You learn something new everyday. Well, great job with your restoration!
Wow Zack, this is a beautiful car! Super job! I can’t complain about any of the elements, I like them all: the tires and hubs, the windshield, the paint, the satin finish. - so cool.
I love the job you did on the car the cd windshield is a great touch it made the car pop as well as the wheels and I love the paint job everything Blended together really well it looks like a masterpiece perfect for displaying in a case look forward to seeing what other diecast cars you restore.
I agree with trying to minimize gaps in the wheel well but for this car the smaller wheels in the back REALLY do something for me, not sure why but for this particular model the smaller wheels are a must. As always great work and thank you for sharing.
I love how that windshield turned out! I was originally expecting you to copy the first windshield and print out a new one that would have been slightly bigger, and just trim it down.
Very cool build. The windshield is a brilliant idea.....the wheels look great....the tires are way too big. But easy fix for you. Great restoration over all
I miss this channel man used to love when I saw a new upload
hope nothing bad happened
@Dm3qXY me too, think I read on reddit life just got in the way
You should really do a video where you take a modern car and make it look like a classic redline!
would love to see that tbh
@@fordguyjames same here

Amazing restoration, and what a surprise to see my logo being etched! That made me chuckle.
Hopefully you will get some more subscribers
That gunmetal grey paint job was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!
While not the intent with this build, but with the effect of from the CD coating and the pre-painted clear wheels you had the beginnings of a strong vaporwave (or perhaps even cyberpunk) aesthetic that would be interesting to see explored.
Yup, I had the same thought when I saw that iridescent effect and I think that sort of aesthetic would really match this car.
Yeah
Ayyyyy. Casey putsch is making a real life replica of this car. Except with a V12. Btw I love your content
You beat me to it lol
This went a lot faster than Casey's, haha!
Casey is one of my favorite youtubers! Cant wait to see the genius garage lykan
Thinking the same thing.
Damn, you beat me as well. I respectfully admit defeat lol.
I miss this channel. Please come back :(

The back wheel looks fine the front might need to be a little smaller.
I agree, and even just a little smaller would be still fine.
agreed
"Smaller" might be the answer but clear side elevation images of the prototype would probably help a lot. Dunno if such a thing exists, though!
Altering this URL to prevent filtering but ... fristartmuseum org 1970-lancia-stratos-hf-zero has a nice side elevation of the car.
@@plaws0 what do you mean by "side elevation"?
The CD plastic windshield is something that I would never think of. Its awesome how innovative and passionate about this hobby you are.
Id love a tutorial on your cd technique! Id love to make windscreens and lenses for my scale models.
It looks pretty darn cool to me, and I like the cd windshield idea very cool.
You remind me of something my grandfather used to always say. "There's always a way if you're interested"!
13:03 You, sir, are one of the most classiest TH-camrs I know.

Look great, maybe a smaller front wheel.
havent watched in a while and im very impressed at how your techniques have evolved over the years

Easily the coolest custom I've ever seen
It's a thriller of a car (thanks for the '80s flashback!)
Regular uploads are back! YES!!!
The CD windshield is neat but I feel like it needs some kind of curve instead of being flat.
I originally put a curve in using the heat gun.... the problem is that the plastic becomes super brittle....
@@baremetalHW You could try with some polycarbonate sheet. I've used that to make a few cockpits and it's quite easy to work with.
Go dig up the Frist Museum page on the prototype - I'm sure the windshield/door has a *little* curve to it ... but watch the video. It's pretty damn close to flat!
@@baremetalHW Would boiling water be hot enough to allow it to be shaped?
@@toypolloi I'm reasonably sure that a CD is polycarbonate, no?
Please consider coming back

What a beautiful build and what a beautiful selection of color. You are right, the wheels on the front need to be resized and made a little smaller.
That CD windshield is amazing, this build is stunning
This is great! Been watching Casey build one, had never seen a diecast. Thanks for sharing this with us and showing me something unique!
Man I just LOVE how this guy does WHATEVER he wants. So friggin awesome man
I realized while watching this that the video we all need is a collection reveal. I want, NEED, to see your stash.
I will have to say, I really enjoy your videos. You are always improving your skills, like the photo etch. You have inspired me in a lot a ways in hobby world. Thanks for taking the time to share what you have learned on the way.
*WHEELS ARE PERFECT, FRONT AND REAR!* ...not mentioning the painting, great job! 👏👏👏
This looks awesome, his skills have improved since I last saw his videos.
I love that you're back and keep going above and beyond with your cars! The result is awesome!
man i could listen to this guy talk for hours on end and not get bored
Boss that Windshield outta a CD disc is AWESOME looking and a great use of a repurposed material.. You really are Great at what you do. I'm just starting on my first car and I love watching you.
Love this! The tweaks you added, like the windscreen... brilliant.
This car is a legend in car history.
Love your reconditioning of toys.
I loved your approach to advertising subscribing through an etching tutorial, the best way I've come across yet!
Love it! so glad you are back. best videos to watch while eating a snack.
one of the few youtube channels i watch on normal speed thanks for making these videos
Lol... that's great because I can talk at a hundred miles an hour and go to a lot of trouble to slow down so people can understand me.
A new Baremetal HW video!!!
I see.... I click....
Love the way a small history of the car is included in the video....
I watched all your videos like a year ago and i must say you pumped up your restoration game by a lot! this is awesome!
That is VERY good looking. Outstanding job on this one!
You sir, are the Mr Wizard of matchbox car building. Turned out quite nice, using cd plastic is inspired, especially that incredible rainbow finish it leaves. The tires look amazing, and the gunmetal is a great choice for body color. Great video all around.

That CD windshield would have looked amazing on this with the body color.
It looks great. The CD plastic is in the thick side but it actually looks fine. Great paint job!
Awesome car. Once again, it's great to have you back.
Wow, what a stunning car. Your restoration really brought it back to life, amazing work!
Wow, very interesting build especially with all the extra processes.....well done!
that photo etching is pretty cool. Stuff I never thought was quite that easy. I'll definitely keep it in mind as an option in future projects.
Excellent video. Always top quality in your videos and always in depth. They are chill and fun to watch. Keep on going.
Glad to see you back at it! You really show some cool tricks that I will eventually try with my own remakes.
And I meant a real mustang not a toy car. But I'm going to say you're painted version is way better than the one on the right you did an awesome job and I am so happy that your back making videos.
Long live the king. Incredible work on display here....
I love the gunmetal silver look and the bigger wheels give the car a much improved appearance.
I love your videos you hadn't uploaded in a while but one of ur newer vids got in my recommended great to see your back
The gun metal grey looks so awesome ! Great to have a new video after a long day at work !

I never knew a toy version of the futuristic, concept sports car that Michael Jackson transforms into from _Moonwalker_ existed. You learn something new everyday. Well, great job with your restoration!
This looks so cool! I would love a 68 fastback mustang painted just like it.
Oh man, I've missed these videos, so great to have you back! :)
Outstanding! Nice to have you back! What a cool car!

This video helped me understand why the rear engine stratos is a terrifying car to drive
Amazing car, dig it. Also love the 3D effect. Perfect car to ride the vapor of cyberspace.

Much better powder coat! I like the car the way you did it. That windshield is cool!
Thanks for this video. Loved the 3D and comic book backstory.
Oh my gosh this is awesome. I love seeing you go for as detailed as possible type projects sometimes.
Original wheels look alittle more true to life. But you did an amazing job!👍

neer seen this casting before but you killed it with the paint scheme and recreated parts. amazing job
Looks amazing. I love the stance the tires gave it.
Insane amount of work. The cd effect works so well with this car specifically
You're a wizard!! Excellent work.
A really beautiful car. The gun metal colour is spot on. Amd the windshield with the effects looks really awesome. So great work Sir.
Awesome final result. Thanks for the quick photo-etch primer.
This is otherworldly! Amazing skills and outstanding effect!
Very cool build. The windshield is a brilliant idea.....the wheels look great....the tires are way too big. But easy fix for you. Great restoration over all
it's actually a great job. I also miss your videos dude. Keep up the good work.
Love your videos. Very informative. You asked about the tires, honestly I think they a little big but it is amazing how you do the work. Thanks.
Lol.. I agree... but easy to fix..
This is honestly my favorite video you’ve put out yet!
Finally someone who explains. what he does. in a restore video. (sorry for bad spelling i am dutch)
Always great to see new tips and tricks But I still love watching you restore a good old Redline. Cheers baremetal.
All is looking well, I'd would prefer proportional wheels...otherwise the restoration looks fab!
