    Your honesty is the only way we know of "the drop". This restoration is a masterpiece!

    This is quite possibly THE BEST channel on TH-cam BAR NONE! Even with the guest appearance of 'Jimmy' I give it two thumbs up!

      Wow that's quite the statement! Did you know there is channels where ladies just try on undergarments? lol

    I think my favorite thing about your videos is the commentary. I love the content, but your commentary is very entertaining. It’s fun to watch Jimmy’s appearances too 😂

    Even now, this is still my favourite video ! Just love the colour and the classic hot wheels number on the side. Spot on.

    You spend so much time on the surface prep and it shows in the finished cars. Yours look way better than other restorer's cars.

    Another nice restoration, well done. Putting those manufacturer decals on the car brought back memories. When I was a mere lad we covered our cars with those. Whatever was under the hood had a decal on the car. Isky Cam, Mallory Ignition, Eledebok manifold, Holly Carb etc. etc. etc. One day I was pulled over by my friendly neighborhood police officer and he sat me down and said, "Y' know, you may as well put a shopping list for thieves on your car. All those stickers are a dead giveaway to what you have under the hood. Would you put a sign on your house telling the world you have a brand new television inside?" His point was well taken and I removed all my decals. Yes I grew up in the 60's the Beach Boys and the Super-car era.

    I look forward to your videos and commentary. I never knew how entertaining hot wheels restoration could be. I’ll say you, and ghostjerker have inspired me and my kids in a new hobby!

    @MrVolvobloke 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Now THATS how I remember hot wheels from my childhood ! Blown engine racing decals and a stick on number. My friend had a mustang in this colour and it was the fastest thing down our matchbox tracks we owned at that time. This channel stated off brilliantly and just gets better. Thanks for posting.

    • @A100-y2c
      @A100-y2c 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I had the Mustang Boss Hoss in that color also.

  • @KustomRides
    @KustomRides 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Honestly, the car is beautiful. And having the decal mishap, it gives it character!!

  • @dmelzinga
    @dmelzinga 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Beautiful results. Love that aqua color scheme with the stripes.

  • @kenwinston2245
    @kenwinston2245 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Sweet color 😃 saw a fellow put a tiny piece of foam weatherstripping between the rear wheels to keep it from rolling while on display , easily removed. Jimmy is one lucky boy, just look at all his cars he gets to cruise!

    • @DiecastResurrection

    Sorry to hear about your drill press. Never rely on Santa for anything - I asked him for a jet pack in 1967, 1968, and 1969. I'm still waiting. Another beautiful restoration! Happy new year!

  • @AleCatGarage
    @AleCatGarage 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    This Teal is my favorite color yet! The stickers pulls it all together. I LOVE it, great job. I can't see the results of the drop but what self respecting real life drag car doesn't have some wall scrapes anyway. It adds character. Thanks again my man!

    • @DiecastResurrection
      @DiecastResurrection  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks my thoughts exactly, those cars always have scrapes and scratches etc.. I almost repainted it and thought it would be such a waste of decals and supplies.

    • @DiecastResurrection
      @DiecastResurrection  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I seems like now that I have a pretty good subscriber base and some videos out there. I don't have to explain everything so much. When I started out everyone had some many questions.. Now I can just leave it out and they will see what they were asking in another video. I think the more I do the more crazy they will get and they less of a tutorial itll have to be.

  • @tonyneises5195
    @tonyneises5195 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Really Sweet, the high polish gives it an almost Candy look/appearance. I think that one is now my favy. Really cool looking love the decals. Great vid. Your commentary is the best, Props to the 'Dude'.

    • @DiecastResurrection
      @DiecastResurrection  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Tony, cause I trust you... should I decal up the Heavy Chevy in a similar fashion?

    • @tonyneises5195
      @tonyneises5195 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@DiecastResurrection I think the decals are very appropriate for those style of cars. The new Nitty Gritty Kitty looks totally BA with the decals and the stripes, it totally fits with the Blown engine and open engine compartment. Can't wait to see your next project. Remember you're "The Dude" so I am cool with whatever you do man!

    Another great job dude! That color looks amazing. I always enjoy watching you customize/restore cougars, my dad was a collector of 1967-1970 cougars so I grew up riding around in them. I really wish there was a way I could purchase one of your cougars from you. DEFINITELY LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR NEXT VIDEO

    • @DiecastResurrection

      I might sell some in the future who knows, I don't have any real attachments to them. Id be more likely to trade for a few junker cars of equal coolness.

    You totally pulled a Bob Ross there with those stripes. I thought the car looked perfect just in paint and was aghast when the stickers started going on. Then you pulled it all together so nicely and made another gorgeous piece of art!
    Also, a "Jimmy's head" needs to be a new unit of measure in the hobby. "So, you want to put a little paint in the plastic cup here, not too much, about 1 Jimmy's head."
