- Hot Wheels Evil Weevil Redline - This old 1971 Hot Wheels Spoilers Series Evil Weevil had a lot of problems when I received it…but I’ve tried to fix them and make some interesting choices, such as trying to create a rattle can candy apple red. I hope you like the results! #hotwheels #redline #evilweevil #vwbug

Great job of restoring this casting Jim love how it came out sir
Thank you Edward! It’s such a fun casting!
Great rescue - it would have been in my bin!
Compliments of the Season: it has been a pleasure watching!
Thanks so much Fraser! The best of the season to you, thanks for watching and I hope to have a lot more fun coming in 2024!
Nice restoration, details and paint job 👌 👍
Thanks 👍
Even the Master deals with Murphy's Law. Nice to see you patiently restoring and explaining and detailing the correct tool to use. Came out GREAT even with the sticker looking decals. 😆
Thanks GW, but I’m not so sure about that master comment - you don’t know how close I was to using duct tape and bailing wire to put this back together 🤣
Looks so much better then before great restoration
Thanks Mike!
Great restoration of this little car. You did a great job
Thanks so much Morten!
Thats a great looking casting!!! i love it ❤
Thank you very much!
metallic looks great on castings like these. :) love the colour! ^^ interesting little car... and great repair. ^^
It really is a funny and fun little casting! I wanted to add even more fun with the color 😊
oh my a VWBug build. awesome
Gotta love a Bug build - thanks!
That was an impressive transformation, Jim. There were obviously a lot of obstacles to overcome, but for me, it's great to see a damaged old casting put back into circulation. This was a showcase of your skills. Thanks for another year of really fun and entertaining videos. You make me want to do better in my own projects. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas from Switzerland. 🍁☕🎄
Thank you so very much Andrew! I can say the same for all of your wonderful videos - they amaze and inspire me…I hope during 2024 to attempt some of that difficult fine detail that you do with such style and grace. Merry Christmas my friend and a fantastic 2024 for you and Petra to enjoy!
Awesome restomod Jim 🌴👍👍😎🌴
Thanks David!
From a discarded toy to a highlight in the display case. Once again, thanks to your knowledge and skills and a huge amount of patience, you´ve managed to create a beautiful restoration. I wish you and all your loved ones a Merry Christmas.
Thank you so much Fritz! A very Merry Christmas to you and your family as well!
Thanks, but for me, Christmas has simply been canceled for the last quarter of a century. It doesn't make sense to me as a single person.
I pretty much buy only junkyard lots, so I’ve seen my share of this type of car…. the previously “restored“. And by restored, I mean destroyed 🤣. This one turned out great. Good job Jim!
Almost like destored lolol. Thanks Brian!
@@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms LOLzzzz
Great job especially from something that was in that condition. Cracked base and bent post. You really brought it back to being a great display piece 👍🏽😎
Thanks Armando!
Came out looking great. Nice work as always Jim.
Thanks Jody!
Great job Jim 👍🏻
Thanks Mark 👍
As always. Nice work!
Thanks so much!
What a journey! Jim, you really pulled it off. I have one or two castings that are darned near barn finds, and I'm waiting until I'm better at my craft before taking them on. At least the challenges you experienced were not of your own making, as mine often are. Thanks for sharing this. As always, very inspiring.
It was a challenging little casting...but dang it was fun (when it was done lol). Thanks so much Tom!
turned out beyond amazing love that color. merry Christmas to you and yours
Thanks Neil! Merry Christmas to you too!!
That thing went from rags to riches and it turned out looking great. A broken base is no match for you brother.
Thanks David! I’m pretty happy with how the base turned out, given how horribly wrong it could have gone lol. I’ve got JB Weld so broken bases watch out lol
It turned out great, brother.
Thanks Gary!
From ugly duckling to be a great Swan. Nicely done Cheers Michael
Thank you so much Michael!
👍 Do like it, Jim....
Feliz Natal, to you and yours....
🎅🌲🙏
Feliz Natal to you and your family as well my friend.
Much better Jim!! Outstanding job as always and another epic video!!! Thanks for the ride
Thanks Eddie!!
It looks very respectful to me. Great job.
Thank you!
Real beauty Jim!!!
Thanks so much Pete!
Very Nice turned out great, Merry Christmas. thanks for sharing
Thanks! Merry Christmas!
Amazing job😮
Thanks Dane!
It's a pretty cool casting, turned out really nice. I like this color, if you'd used silver under the red, it might've been too bright, but this is perfect. 😎👍
Thanks so much Dave! I agree that a silver base would have lightened the color too much, where the gold base left it a more rich, darker color.
Amazing resto Jim! 👊❤
Thanks Ricobobe!
I think it turned out great! I'm not big on the Hot Wheels gimmicks like this one, but I don't think you could have done anything more to improve it than you did right here. You actually made this look GOOD to me, and that's saying quite a bit. I was not a fan of the base or the double engine thing, but you made a believer out of me. It's that great paint job with the nifty decals and new redlines. It brought it all together for me.
Thanks Loston! I know exactly what you mean about the gimmicks…and likewise, I rarely like such a double engine casting…but there’s just something about this darn little VW that I’ve always liked. I’ve always been a sucker for a Bug, so that could be it. I’m really glad I could win you over on this little casting!
That's the saving grace for me, Jim. The fact that it's the VW "Bug." As a kid, I loved all the Herbie movies! lol@@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms
A "respectable state" .... indeed!
Thanks!
Looks awesome I love it
Thanks!
Looks great, I think all these should be lime or antifreeze, as that was the color of my childhood version, bit the red looked great. Washer fix was brilliant and the end result was fantastic. Thank you and Merry, Merry!
Thank so much Brian and Merry Christmas!
Amazing restomod Jim Silva it definitely turned out wonderful. Happy Holidays brother.
Thanks Brandon! I hope you have a very merry Christmas and I hope we all have a fantastic 2024!
Looks awesome, happy holidays
Thanks Ardy! Happy holidays to you too!
Turned out great Jim, and Merry Christmas!
Thanks Sean! Merry Christmas to you too!
That's lovely - I wanted one of these for a long time, and it cost me a stupid amount of money for a single car by the time it was here in the UK. I thought it was a modified version of the Custom Volkswagen but they are quite different
It is an interesting little casting! Thanks for watching!
A lot of the 70 and 71 cars had casting issues with the metal itself. I remember an ice-t crumbling in my hands about 10 minutes after getting it.
Oh yeah, the crumblers as they’re affectionately known as you said, would crumble away on you. I can only imagine how frustrating that must have been.
Turn out very sweet 😊❤ hope you had a Merry Christmas Jim, all the best for 2024 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Cheers 🍺🍻🍺🍻KC & CC 🇦🇺🇳🇿🤝🇺🇸🇺🇸😎✌👍🙏😊
Thanks so much KC & CC! I hope 2024 brings you good news, success in everything big and small, in both health and happiness!
Awesome job Jim! The evil weevil looks Awesome. Hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas

Great colour! Nice work Jim, as always.
Thanks so much! I was trying to get an interesting color and the results aren’t as candy apple as I hoped, but I still like it.
