I do enjoy you explaining what you're doing verbally. You should return to that style video. Still enjoyed. As always, great work!
Thanks, I just didn't feel like talking in this one :)
@@WheelsNThangs just curious here but what's the going rates on restorations on Hotwheels or Matchbox and Ertle vehicles?
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
Thank you! Get back to it, I'm sure you do fine!
Great video of a awesome Hot Wheels but I missed the talking
Thank you, I'll speak in most of them!
Nice job. It's amazing how well they look to the eye, but the camera shows everything.
Thanks, I completely agree!
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..
Thanks! I agree, power supply makes a world of difference. Love to see it when you're done!
Great job bringing one back from the dead. That was terribly pitted. Always enjoy your videos.
Thanks Weston!
Great 👍🏻 job.....looks brand new.....I love the original redlines.
Thank you!
Nice to see a redline car, honestly though I like watching pretty much any restoration.
Thanks, me too!
Dang, that paint is shiny 😎😎😎
Love love love your work. Another great restoration. You are one of the great OG's of this hobby. Happy Easter and enjoy your day.
Happy Easter, hope you enjoyed it as well!
nice job, takes me back to the beginning of your channel.
Thank you!
I'm working on one of these right now, nice project!!
Thanks TR
Nice job👍 I just did a US base customer mustang that had similar issues to yours, I used Bondo and primer then based it in molotow chrome before spectraflame, works pretty good 👍
Thank you! Pretty good idea. I checked into Molotow but it was pretty pricey for a small bottle. Love the pens.
You did a great job, that thing looks great. It would look great as a Bullitt Mustang if you've got a second one to do a custom on.
Thank you!
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.
Thanks, I agree!
Nice restoration and paint job 👌
Thank you!
Very nice job, just found your channel,👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻☮️
Big fan of narration! Took a minute to realize there was none and my computer was working correctly!
Ha!
Nice work 👍
Great color, looks sick....mustangs are my favorite:)
Thank you!
Nice job, looks great
Hey man very good one love the Ford's keep them coming 😉👊👊👊👍
Thank you!
Looks really good
Thank you!
Great job on this recondition ty 4 sharing
Looks really good!
Thank you!
Great job and I enjoy your videos
Thank you!
@@WheelsNThangs you're welcome
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.
Nice!
Came out nice for the state it was in. Great resto as alway! 🤙✌
Thank you!
Hell yes something new cant wait
Great restoration! I am not a huge fan on the silent treatment but was Ok for a change!
Keep up the awesome work!
Thank you!
I prefer no talking
Eastwood Unforgiven / I can respect that too! To each his or her own! :-)
Interesting video thanks for sharing
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.
Happy Easter ThangsFamily!
Scared the crap outta me when you spoke at the end...Sheesh😉
Car looks great...I personally like your videos better when you speak.
Keep taking care.😁
LMAO! Happy Easter to you as well Mr. Tim!

Esto se llama amor por estos hermosos carritos.
The Custom Mustang is my favorite of the sweet 16 and considering how trashed she was at the beginning, she looks amazing. Excellent job 🍻
Thank you!
Great job
Thank you!
What was used to paint the tail light?? That looks incredibly useful
You did a very nice job. What is the name of the vice that you use?
What size center drill did you use to drill out the rivet?
I see you still have green paint on your thumbnail from the last car you refurbished. LOL
Love the videos! :-)
LOL.. Yeah, started this one right after I finished the green Matchbox :)
Hi I have a Ferrari 250 California and I was wondering if it’s rare or how much cost and any
info
I'm not sure :(
Thank you for responding so quickly
Thanks for the video! I have some learning to do, so please bear with me. What kind of acid did you use and for how long was each part immersed? A new subscriber.
Instead of filler/primer etc, why not use thin clear resin applied with a tiny, tiny brush, then carefully sanded and buffed down
Nice work! What kind of paint pen is that you used for the tail lights?
Thank you! Actually it was just a thin sharpie :)
Thanks for answering!
I got my brightness full and the video is still dark. Anyways great job on the car.
Thanks! Hmm.. I always film with very low exposure but it looks great on all my devices but I'll check.
Good looking car, it’s been a while since I watched one of your vids, was wondering if this guy is going to talk. I must say it is easier to listen than to read text at the bottom especially when a guy is focusing on the action in the center of the screen.
I have one of those, it is yellow, but I can see the shinier gold color where the paint is chipped. Do you think it was painted over at some point?
I would guess it was since it wasn't available in yellow. At least not a Redlines.
Looks great, the dents in the door don't bother me at all. Gives it a little character, maybe?
Thank you!
JOHN WICK enters the chat...
Esplêndido👏👏👏👏😉
Where's your beautiful voice? It's was better than those ASMR stuff
Ha! I'll talk in the next one.
Hope everything is ok? You seemed a bit upset, you good? Any way my birthday is coming up april 16 Thursday you think you can make a video" with voice" for this week ??? Would be a great birthday gift....god bless big bro...
I'm fine just can't wait for COVID thing to be somewhat over with. I will try to get another one out this week. Thank you again and if I don't get a chance to tell you, Happy Birthday!
@@WheelsNThangs THANK YOU SO MUCH, that means a lot coming from you , my favorite you tuber, and god bless you and the family...
I have a question. I have a 1959 Cadillac convertible olive green color, with what appears to be water marks on the hood and the trunk in the paint of the king of hearts heads , have you ever seen that
Hmm..I haven't maybe a flaw in the painting?
WheelsNThangs No definitely not a floor in the paint , definite clear picture, looks like the head from a deck of cards , Thank you anyway
🔥❤
Helooo? Is this thing working?
Hellooo
Miss your commentary
It will be back in the next one!
Thought there was something wrong with my Audio or that YT was Fucking Up again...
Ha!
@@WheelsNThangs More often that not, it's Usually YT. Constantly Changing stuff and sometimes even locking me out. Right now the Stop Auto Play Add-on no longer works, so YT will Auto play the Next Video even if I am Not Subscribed to that particular Channel. I have to actually turn it OFF Manually at the start of each Video because It Refuses to Remember the Setting of being turned/set to OFF.
@@ravenlorans Hmm. So far I haven't ran into that but I don't seem to get notifications of new videos :(
@@WheelsNThangs They also love not remembering I watch a video. Red Line at bottom of video letting you know you watched it and how much of it... It don't do that on all my videos and therefor the Channels I Watch are not getting My Views of their Video's added their View Counts.
👍🏽🐒🇺🇸
Not a fan of silent videos. I hope this is not the new trend.
It's not
is it me or is it so boring that he ain't talking
