    Very satisfying video. I remember I quit my hotwheels hobby because I couldn't restore the cars the right way. This brings me back. I remember the excitement of getting redline in the mail. Maybe some day I will buy more

    Nice restoration! The bench power supply makes electroplating a lot easier!
    I bought myself a couple Mustang convertible die cast cars. I have yet to do my first one , but I want to do a custom version - Carl Kolchak's car from the original Night Stalker series ..I like seeing the steps involved, along with links to sources..

    @squidgyquijabo2422 4 роки тому

    Great videos, man. I honestly like the old, original redline wheels with their imperfections a LOT more than the reproductions. The repros just look wrong. The cars always look beautiful with new paint, but those wonky wheels give the cars a look that makes me think of wearing converse with a business suit.

    I use a combination of two cans of paint to achieve a very close match to the Spectra flame and with this technique I can eliminate dents, rust, etc.

    when removing dents or bashed in roofs, use a pice of wood or some dense rubber to back the car it will give the metal some where to go with out stretching it. and the surrounding roof is supported at the same time. you will get more with less effort.

      I would guess it was since it wasn't available in yellow. At least not a Redlines.
