Wide whitewalls are a 1950s vibe. A 70s vibe would be blackwalls with painted manufacturer lettering, e.g., Goodyear or Firestone, or even hotter, red line tires a la Pontiac GTO. I know. I was alive in the 50s and onward. :)
Love how that turned out. Needs a custom Tampo to go fully cheesy 70s. You jogged something in my memory of having one of these Jackers. I totally forgot.
Holy hayseed and happy day!! Pfff I love that color, and the pearlescent paints (tho they are fiddly for me through the air brush) are a beautiful and an excellent choice! Bonus, that it is quite the perk it hides a lot of work/sanding/polishing that didn’t have to be done. Whew!! I actually enjoy this model, pretty unique! Also I’m glad you decided to slap some paint on the inner details. It’s the little things. 😉 Nice restore/custom, also also love the white walls. Totally “retro” cool (haha read, I feel old) Chipper cheerios and take care! 😎🤩
An! Hope you're doing well my friend! You should tty the Createx if you haven't already done so, it's super easy to shoot. I'll be 48 next year and I refuse to accept I'm old :)
The Purple Nurple!!! Needs a matching Corvette Version! Maybe graphics? Some lettering or a logo? I hope you’re banking a lot of episodes to release during the holidays.
I had to comment again, that engine came out SO SICK!! That paint detail with the color you chose for Base & silver lugz, AMAZING 🤩I was also thinking 🤔 can u make windows on the sides? Can something like that be done?
THIS IS MY THIRD TIME THAT I'VE SUBSCRIBED. ON THREE DIFFERENT PHONES ..THIS IS THE SAME GUY WE USED TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT PUTTING LEAD IN THE RACING CARS... I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER? BUT I GOT A NEW PHONE SO I HAD TO SUBSCRIBE AGAIN I'M GLAD YOU'RE STILL HARD AT WORK 🙏LOVE YOUR CHANNEL 💚🤍❤️
The best and highest compliment you can give a toy
"It's been well played with"
WOW!! You've did a great job. You make this old HotWheels be born again with your talents, skills, creativity!! Masterpice and great work, mate!
This was a nice treat coming home from work. The color and the whitewalls were the right call.
Glad you enjoyed it

Good point.
Brother I keep watching this video and this van turned out great. Thank you for the inspiration. Fantastic job my friend.

Yeah, the sides are a bit plain.
Hey MrThangs
I bet she loved the car and happy with the interior details.
Take care🙂

nice restoration, details and paint job 👍👍
Thanks 👍

Ha! Purple Nurple, love it!
I also thought that this casting could benefit from some graphics on the side or roof - a logo, a racing stripe or something.
I had this one looks about the same well used bought new.
Plum Crazy Purple and white Wall wheels nice 👌 👍
Thank you!
I think I saw the vise either online, or at Harbor Freight. I'll have to get one. I usually drop my cars as I try to drill them.
Much better!! Thanks for sharing!!
great restoration.
Many thanks!
The bearings on that Dremel are about to give up the ghost!
They are actually fine, it must be how it comes across on the video.
@@WheelsNThangs ah, I see, all I know is, I had one that sounded like it sounds on this end, and it ended up The End... lol
You did a really nice job on this. 👍🏻 looks great, love the color and wheels & tires.
Thanks a bunch!
Looks Great Brother...
Thanks 👍
I absolutely love it
Thank you!
Nice! Good work!
Thank you! Cheers!
Well done.🙂
Thanks!
I wonder if this inspired GM to later build the later Lumina, Transport, and Silloute.( The Oldsmobile version) 😎
Ha! Maybe!
It’s nice. I actually like that casting. 😊👍👍. Don’t answer this comment. Almost everything is more important. 😉😊
Hehe. I've got some time this morning, had to stay home for a new roof on the house. Too loud to do any work :)
@@WheelsNThangs good luck with the roof! I had one done last year as part of my solar panel project. It’s amazing how fast they can do it.
@@aceadman Thanks, they were done in a day. 10 hour day but they got it!
We like it

That thing is sweet
Thank you!
Can u tell me where I can get the crimp ends
Enjoyed the video. Nice paint job. What were those things you put on the axle?
They are called crimp tubes.
@@WheelsNThangs Where do you get them?
See, I’d call it a Vanborghini.
Hehe
