Good idea for free time
This is the 1st hotwheel restore I watched ever, liked it, thinking about making it another hobby of mine. Good work.
The wheels remind me of sticking a dvd player in a classic just don't mix
Agreed 👍 now it looks like just another modern recast😪
I need to know the rest of the red wine story
I love watching these older videos and seeing how much you’ve progressed since this.
I love it. Your funny, extremely creative and really talented. Great job! Can't wait to see what the future holds!
Stumbled onto this channel and I love it
I have spent my entire Saturday watching your vids, Thanks!
Turned out beautiful! Maybe a little polishing compound might smooth out some of the “orange peel” imperfections, after letting that paint harden and cure for a few more days. But overall, it turned out gorgeous. Great color. I saw a customized Hot Wheels Van at a modeling show once with those old style, tinted porthole bubble windows that were popular in the late ‘70’s, during the Van Craze...it was all drilled out, and the guy used a thin, tinted plastic sheet that he heated with a hair dryer to form those bubble portholes, then used a silver chrome paint pen to reproduce the trim ring around the “glass.” That turned out pretty nice.
There’s so many great ideas out there for customizing these little gems. The possibilities are endless.
I'm here for the retro trip down memory lane. 👍
I entirely love the way you dare deviate from the original. Very creative, thank you!
Thank you! Finally! Nobody would watch the resto on a 74’ work van in basic white. Lol. Some of these guys would...
Always glad to see these little cars get a new look on life. That little van is adorable
Right! Same here Jen

@@easyontheeyes78 I'm 31 but I love all old cars give me an old car over anything new any day lol
@@easyontheeyes78 do you have a favorite car?
@@acmll2890 OMG yes! My favorite car in the world is the Ford Taurus station wagon from 1986-1995. Last year I owned a 1991 and a 1992 until July 26th, 2021 when my 1992 died. I cried in front of 5 people. I still have my 1991 though.
When your laying down that paint. Polish the body till it's a mirror finish then apply 2/3 very light coats of spectra flame paint this should help with getting the look your aiming to get. Keep up the good work bro
Who else has a collection of hot wheels leave a like😙
I have 542 hot wheels in boxes 👍
I had a great time with a Hot Wheels van very similar to that. It was awesome.

I had 3 of these when I was a kid. They were always my favorites
Nice looking van and I enjoy your sense of humour 🙂
Just watching a grown man playing with a toy car very cool.
Nice job, looks great, just flashed back to see some of your earlier work, good then, even better now
I was pumped to see it zinc coated and spectra flamed. Then I seen it was a way earlier piece. Came out nice all the same. Good job. Keep up the good work. Your show is good.
I don't know why but it's very soothing for my eyes to watch this video
There is truly a TH-cam channel for everything. Don't even care for hot wheels but I like painting and restoration, so this is fun to watch
Watch a newer video of mine, they are so much better than that video!
thank you for the inspiration, taking my full size car career to 1/64 in retirement. Can't wait to experiment, love your video!
I watched the video in 12:00 2019 happy new year🙂
Why
Pls subcribe my channel
im watching this a day before 2020
Looks fantastic
Wow nice paint. I’m a 70’s kid and love custom vans
I have more of them to do! I want to find a shorty van as well and put some cragers on it lol
@@DiecastResurrection I'm 54 and wanted a mid 70's Chevy Van with Cragers, side pipes, and Chevy Bowtie porthole windows. Even though I had a job at 16 and was going to buy it, my parents refused. They new I would have girls in it and partying. Listening to Van Halen and Kiss.
Cool collour. Good idea with biger wheels
Sweet build-up of that!!!
Pls subcribe my channel
That reminds me of the old Scooby Do Van!!!!!
Sweeeet ride👍Next up custom '66 Batmobile (Blue glass) Spectraflame pink and Redline Wheels, you know you wanna 😊
XD

Lol
All’inizio credevo che il risultato finale sarebbe stato tutt’altro che bello per via del colore; poi a fine video ho visto l’auto completa e devo dire che sono rimasta veramente sbalordita.
Complimenti, ottimo lavoro! ❤️
Super cool😊❤
Great job I did the same van in a girly pink ! ,I like how you shaved of the metal plates on the back axle good idea gonna try that myself next time 👍👍
Yea you get a whole different colour when you spray the specta-flame on thick like an enamel. I wasn’t expecting that look but it looked pretty sweet!
Yeah right before he started cutting, he stated that he wasn't sure if the base would be strong enough to handle those plates being gone. But it isn't like they're going to get smashed into each other anymore, or played with anymore, so it was a good gamble. I'm sure that even if it wasn't strong enough, he probably could have fashioned something out of JB Weld putty epoxy to reinforce the base. As long as the parts and your hands, or gloves, are clean. The possibilities with that stuff are pretty much endless.
I think doing the interior in white was a real good call with the pink body.
Nice van ...
Crazy pink color w/white interior is a nice touch !!
very good job. like the color and the interior details.
I would watch a tv show just about you customise old hot wheels
awesome! I cant wait to start customizing cars! this video really helped
Viejo que paciencia pero queda muy bien, felicitaciones
I had no clue people actually restore hot wheels and how to do it. I wish I held onto this one car I had all through out my childhood I brung with me for a while that way I could restore it. Very cool video definitely looking into doing something like this
The oldies are goodies!
Dam that van came out gorgeous... You truly are an artist....
Looks really good, great color choice.
I wish you made the van to a mystery machine lol that would be so cool
Hi, for the paint on the windshield, you could use Brake fluid DOT4 to remove this paint. NIce custom!!
Seen this done several times. Works well.
Yup, what they said, dot 4 brake fluid is your friend! Not dot 5 as it is silicone based and won't touch paint.
Dot 3 works well too. I've used it for years. Never had it damage plastic or rubber.
Really sweet dude. Thanks for sharing
Awesome job buddy that color is wicked great job thanks for sharing buddy 👍👍
I'm a kid and I love your channel!
that van looks badass sweett!!! nice color!!!
mean terrible machine!!!!! your colors were out of this world great customizing!!!!! good job
What a mechanic!!
Grew up in the early 80's. This was the day of a used muscle car from the 60's and 70's for a couple thousand dollars. I've rounded up my posse's vehicles in hot wheels. I've disassembled them and painted em in the appropriate colors. I know. Kind of geeky but it's fiun to reminisce.
Scooby Doo, Shaggy, and the gang, would be proud. LOL. Cool!
Here’s a tip... use two bottles of thinner. One for silver and metallics, the second for none metallics. Same principle for brushes. Sweet ride!!
Wow amazing work! 🫡🙌🙌🙌
Believe me my friend your ready for redline cars, I love your videos the best. Keep them coming.
I liked everything but changing the wheels to newer ones great job
you did it again..nice job..
Io lo facevo a 10 anni.
Tu sei un professionista
Beautiful job!
You are an artist!👍😉
Wow it is just amazing
Looks nice!!
Great job. To be honest I was hoping it would be a custom mystery machine . That would still be cool to see.
Those mainlines look cool though a set of steely's would look crisp as well. Noish finish and the metalflake first coat was a stellar move
Freaking sweet! Nice candy paint job!
I’m just gonna bop that like and subscribe button. Thanks for the tips, even known you didn’t directly point them out, still the glue hack will work for me, and have you done a video on how to get the chassis back on to the frame? Me n my dad did a custom four runner, lift kit, it worked pretty well but theres still issues. I’m trying to find a more efficient lift kit for hot wheels, this one was full customize, ain’t given shits about the truck is why we did it hehe
Alclad II my friend, you can drop a super good super smooth chrome finish then lay the Spectra over it, about as close as it gets without the special hot wheels process lol. Great video! THe super gloss black from Alclad will fill in a lot of minor imperfections for sure especially if you use their grey base primer first. Have to test it out not sure how those Lacquers will play with Spectra but is a nice system to try. AK makes a wicked chrome as well.
Miss you bud, how everything's ok over there in the prairies.
you might try the Molotow Chrome pen as a chrome base. It is by far the best faux chrome I have found and works great on model cars. it can also be thinned and sprayed through an airbrush with great results.
Congrats on your success switching gears from army rations to this!! Cheers!
Thanks you guys! I couldn't do the grind over there anymore, too many people were doing it.
Great job! Sorry I didn't see it earlier.
Wow that thing lots hot buddy!!
Your videos are entertaining to watch and you do pretty nice cars, keep up the good work. The van needs some graphics pin striping or something else to break up side of the van.
I was just scrolling through my recommended and as soon as i saw this my first thought was “holy shit thats fuckin wicked”
Super cool!
Pretty cool! Keep it up
This is the reason I'm not getting sleep
It looks like you ran in to a egg 4:03
ps good job on the van
Bad ass Van ! 👍
Damn right!
nice! the white interior looks really good with the pink spectraflame. the bigger rear wheels give a nice rake, too. can't wait to see more stuff from you! looks like you're gonna be up there with baremetalHW and WheelsNThangs soon, as far as best hot wheels resto/custom channels go.
Well I’m going to try offer the best restorations I can! Hopefully things go well.
you're definitely on the right track!
nonotnyet ...I also watch Marty’s Matchbox Makeovers, he’s an Australian guy that restores vintage Matchbox cars & trucks if anyone’s interested in those little car projects. He’s a very funny, quirky bloke, and usually always has a joke or two while filming, and includes post-video outtakes of his flubs while he’s rescuing a nice old vintage Matchbox diecast. Check him out on TH-cam if interested...
I watch all Marty’s videos as well, I gotta say.. I like them throughly.. but that music is slowly making me go insane lol.
i never really noticed the music before. i like that he sticks with only early lesney matchbox cars. it's a nice change of pace from hot wheels, and he has a nice dry sense of humour.
Helps to see the real world of custom work. I will be better equipped to try stuff! More fun than a barrel of monkeys!
Your videos are fascinating
Nicely done ✅
Omg I actually have this van,
Just found this channel,Great work..The white interior was a nice touch
Looks great
Beautiful!
Wow amazing video
Good fun! thank you
Love it nice job
Amazing video
You should be able to adjust your automatic center punch so that it doesn't take as hard of a push to make it fire. It won't hit as hard, but you will have more control and can push down on it a few times. I believe you should just be able to unscrew the back cap a bit to get that adjustment. Give it a try on a test surface.
BaremetalHW is a tough act to follow I think but I enjoyed the couple videos of yours. Looking forward to seeing more of vids.
Thanks for the tip, I tried it today on the next project and it was better! :D
wow amazing..i like this colour
Very good 👍👌😊
Nice cute van + nice channel= sup
Back in the early 70's I on the sidewalk in front of my house playing with all of my Hot Wheels about 15 of them when this Mexican kid came along and asked if he could see my Hot Wheels.
I said sure but I have to run in and use the bathroom but when I returned the Mexican kid and my Hot Wheels were gone.
I learned a valuable lesson that day...
the next I have to take a leak I'm taking my Hot Wheels in the house with me.
Put baking soda on the super glue to make it hard as metal.
Yea I’ve seen that on Marty’s videos, haven’t tried it out yet though. Thanks for the tip.
Baking soda has flour in it. be sure to use pure bicarbonate soda.
Vvv I'm
I seriously doubt that makes the super glue any stronger.
Nice
I like the color 😍
Nice, soaking plastic parts in brake fluid also gently removes paint, good for clear parts, no scratching.
I am impressed
