I like your enthusiasm and character! I used to dabble a little bit with the process but not for a while and you are making me want to do some custom hot wheels! I appreciate any feedback from my comments! Thanks
that is such a great car. it really shows the generation it was made in. a toy with the iron cross and a stormtroopers stahlhelm. it would never be made today, someone might get offended. it looks awesome, thanks for showing it
Thanks! Nostalgia at its best. The Red Baron was the first Hot Wheels car I ever bought with my own money. She was always special to me. Unfortunately lost to time. It was awesome to see one that looks so close to what I remember. Love your narration... "Don't look at the hole in the glove!" Thanks again.
OK. 1- I had no idea I was interested in hot wheels restorations...like, at all. Yet here I am at 3:41am and several videos into your channel and enjoying every one. I find them very calming and relaxing. Great work. I love the attention to detail and the effort put in. I hate people that half-ass work and you do good work. 2. I have enjoyed watching the evolution of your skills, your techniques, and your tools from your early videos to now. I enjoy learning with you as much as I enjoy watching someone take their time and do good work. 3. Great video work too. An unheralded skill that I bet takes a lot of time and effort that no one sees. 4. The one thing that does really bother me though is that you never seem to straighten the axles. Why is that? 5. I also saw another guy that fixes matchbox cars use a combination of the liquid superglue and baking powder to make a kind of instant epoxy type glue that seemed to help him with quite a few restorations. Have you tried this?
Once again a very nice restauration of a redliner. Excellent job and a professional video ! I would like to see the Corvette in red as Prince sung " Little red corvette". Nice greetings from Hamburg/ Germany!
It’s amazing how much y’all put into restoring these cars. I’m a professionally trained Auto Detail Technician, And work on a lot of Show cars , exotics, and antiques. In a way, it’s similar. I also had some 300 of these as a kid. 👍🙂‼️
Great restoration,,,,only ever saw one of these here in England in the early 70s,,,, Im In my 50s and just started restoring models again,,,just doing a 1970s Matchbox Javelin,,,wishing everyone a great Sunday,,,
As I have said before red with redlines always looks awesome. The re-plating really shows a difference. Another fantastic restore, and congrats on hitting 5k, that happened quick!👍😉
Quite and involved process, but you came through everything brilliantly. What a beautiful job on this classic Hot Wheels model! All the best for your future work.
Thank you, the Red Baron restore is beautiful, but it's awesome you talk to your viewers while doing the work. You've a new suciber No I can't spell. Good Job keep it up.
Your videos are fantastic! I would love to see some more customs in addition to the restorations. As for the Vette, while the hot pink would be great, I'd love to see an orange or a banana yellow
Yeah. He tried that on the Deora. It came out alright, but not what any of us expected. He did another car called Tribaby in green and it was closer to antifreeze than the antifreeze. I never cared for the car, but the repaint was excellent.
Just like a big kid playing with his Hot Wheels. That was a really cool job you did on that car. What other color should there be on a Corvette besides red?
Spectra Gold for the Vette... man that Baron looks great. Sweet Restore. You use the most aggressive paint remover I've seen among the other restorers. Nice.
Any chance this Baron could get his iron cross decorations restored via waterslide decals in the future? If I had one to restore, I'd be so tempted to paint the machine gun barrels black... ;-)
Looks great. I have one that needs restoration too. Question...didn't the spike helmet cars have a black iron cross on the side of the helmet and painted in grill (in the negative parts of the cross)?
Awesome video once again, I looked at it and will never be the same might need therapy. My vote for the vette would be silver. But what ever you decide it will be amazing! Thanks for your videos
That's an original, with the big spike on the helmet. Your repro has the smaller 'safer' spike. Glad you stuck with the original. It turned out absolutely beautiful. I'd like to see that new Spectraflame pink on that 'Vette - I don't believe I've seen one in that colour, to be honest. Great work!
Great job on the resto of the Baron! As far as the vette is concerned, I'd say since its already green....how bout spectraflame green? Maybe a darker shade of green to match the color already present? Also, you could give it a little extra oomph by painting the roof black to simulate a ragtop! Just my 2 cents ;)
I love this restoration, the Red Baron is one of my favorites. You almost had me worried when you showed the other helmet with the short point, haha. Also, no iron cross re-applied? Looking forward to the next one. The pink sounds cool, or maybe a magenta or yellow. I'm sure what ever you pick it will be amazing.
Not that this is my favorite car, that distinction is a three-way tie between Deora, Twin Mill, and Vairy 8, but so far and from the cars I've seen of yours so far, this is my favorite work. I've still got a lot of videos to watch.
I really look forward to your videos, it makes me smile the min I see you have one up and ready. Did you have a good Thanksgiving? I hope so..I am going to toss in a blue vote for next car, nobody really does a nice deep blue and I would love to see one in a royal blue shade. Thank you for making vids and you totally know how to entertain..have a Merry Christmas!
ATTENTION PEOPLE OF EARTH.. I HAVE PAINTED THE CORVETTE!!...
🤔 I have a strong feeling you chose pink🤣👍
I'm hoping pink....
Dammit Gary.. SSSSHhhH!
And what if Im not from planet earth?
I love it when you make the truck deliver tires!!!
This video was great. It brought back memories because my brother had that Red Baron car. Thank you.
One of my favorite Hotwheels as a kid.
Best restoration ever! Start to finish . So now the Red Baron can fly once again!
Wow. The Red Baron was the gold standard of Hot Wheels. Back in first grade, if you possessed the Red Baron, you were definitely hot shit.
I like your enthusiasm and character! I used to dabble a little bit with the process but not for a while and you are making me want to do some custom hot wheels! I appreciate any feedback from my comments! Thanks
Wade man, you have been binge watching! Thanks for checking in out, Its satisfying getting a car done and starting a new one. I hope you get in to it!
that is such a great car. it really shows the generation it was made in. a toy with the iron cross and a stormtroopers stahlhelm. it would never be made today, someone might get offended. it looks awesome, thanks for showing it
Imagine someone building that as a real car.
Mannnnn does this car bring back a lot of memories, I had this Hot Wheels as a kid! Would love to see a full size one....lol
Thanks! Nostalgia at its best. The Red Baron was the first Hot Wheels car I ever bought with my own money. She was always special to me. Unfortunately lost to time. It was awesome to see one that looks so close to what I remember. Love your narration... "Don't look at the hole in the glove!"
Thanks again.
One of the most iconic Hot Wheels cars, yet this is the first one I've seen restored ! Excellent job. Antifreeze on the Corvette -it's winter !

I like the way you polished that hood up so nice.
Great video! Never owned a worthwhile collection that I know of, but found this restoration fascinating!! Well done!
*man sized drill bit* TRIGGERED!
Once again a very nice restauration of a redliner. Excellent job and a professional video !

Nice restoration. Love the truck delivering the wheels!
As a kid growing up in the late 70s. This was the premier hot wheel to have!!😀😀👍👍
Yea they are sweeeet!
Another awesome video. Good to see the zinc plating dialed in. Amazing helmet. Can't wait for the Vette!
Thanks Pedro, working on the Vette today :D
Very nice!
I love the wheel delivery service. The red barron looks great
Great restoration,,,,only ever saw one of these here in England in the early 70s,,,, Im In my 50s and just started restoring models again,,,just doing a 1970s Matchbox Javelin,,,wishing everyone a great Sunday,,,
Thanks for watching my friend!
Diecast Resurrection ,,,, Thanx,,have a great week,,,
This channel is brilliant! I never thought resurrecting old Hot Wheels could be soooo fun.
Awesome job on the Red Baron. Also, I like how to clean up the base.
Great work as always.
As I have said before red with redlines always looks awesome. The re-plating really shows a difference. Another fantastic restore, and congrats on hitting 5k, that happened quick!👍😉
That escalated quickly! Thanks for tuning in Gary you are solid.
That brought memories of those crazy 60s hot rods. It came out great!
Your commentary on. This video was hilarious 😂. Loved the car too!!
Quite and involved process, but you came through everything brilliantly. What a beautiful job on this classic Hot Wheels model! All the best for your future work.
Thank you, the Red Baron restore is beautiful, but it's awesome you talk to your viewers while doing the work. You've a new suciber No I can't spell. Good Job keep it up.
Hot pink for the Corvette would be real nice I think. That Red Baron looks amazing. Good job.
Great job on that Red Baron!!! 👌🏻 I will love to see purple on that corvette 😁
Dude, you crack me up. I'm addicted to watching these restoration videos and yours are by far the most entertaining. Cheers!
Great vid. I think the Corvette would look pretty nice in black, but not so easy to get a good finish!
Oh, in all the excitement of the corvette color choice, I forgot to tell you--great job on the Red Baron. It looks fantastic!
Sounds like if Peter Venkman did hotwheels restorations 😁 double awesome! Great resto sir!
The Red Baron looks just awesome!! On the Corvette, the hot pink would look amazing in my opinion!
You really out did your self on this one, it looks SUPER!
Love the Red Baron. Great job. I think either black or blue would look good on the corvette.
Your videos are fantastic! I would love to see some more customs in addition to the restorations. As for the Vette, while the hot pink would be great, I'd love to see an orange or a banana yellow
Never a good thing when you've got a crusty helmet.
Gotta polish it til it shines!
You can get a cream to fix that.
Just give it a good rub
I feel like if you have a crusty helmet you need to see a doctor
You guys are hilarious.
The Red Baron is one really cool car.
Love your videos! They always put a smile on my face.
Man, that red Spectra Flame turned out great!
I enjoyed the video and your commentary.
Antifreeze would look good on the Vette, great job on the Baron!
I second the antifreeze! That would look neat!
hard to get that perfect, hed probably be reluctant to do it.
Yeah. He tried that on the Deora. It came out alright, but not what any of us expected. He did another car called Tribaby in green and it was closer to antifreeze than the antifreeze. I never cared for the car, but the repaint was excellent.
The Barron came out great
Great restoration on the Red Baron . Looks awesome 👍
On the Corvette , maybe a turquoise colour ☺
Really glad you did the assembly on front of my face. I never see the ones done behind it.
Red Baron and Paddywagon were my favorite, I have them both in original packaging [ bought in the last few years at swap meets ].
Magenta !!!
Nice job on upping your zinc system !
Turned out great nice work
Your videos are amazing, please keep them coming.
Get your paint choices in!! When I'm ready to paint the Vette ima come back here and tally the votes!
Woodgrain with a narrow red stripe. Impossible? YOU CAN DO IT!
The paint will be cool in spectra Gold every redline looks cool in that color men 👌
Sky Blue!!!
hot pink .
I like that same dark green or a solid yellow color.
Always wanted one of those little cars
Great work, you brought it back to life! As for the Vette, the metallics are getting pretty old. A nice classic solid Coca-Cola red would look great!
Spectra flame blue with white ghost flames.
Just like a big kid playing with his Hot Wheels. That was a really cool job you did on that car. What other color should there be on a Corvette besides red?
Spectra Gold for the Vette... man that Baron looks great. Sweet Restore. You use the most aggressive paint remover I've seen among the other restorers. Nice.
Gold
That punch on the second spot was perfect
Any chance this Baron could get his iron cross decorations restored via waterslide decals in the future?
If I had one to restore, I'd be so tempted to paint the machine gun barrels black... ;-)
Great looking restore!
Looks great. I have one that needs restoration too. Question...didn't the spike helmet cars have a black iron cross on the side of the helmet and painted in grill (in the negative parts of the cross)?
Awesome video once again, I looked at it and will never be the same might need therapy. My vote for the vette would be silver. But what ever you decide it will be amazing! Thanks for your videos
I think i need therapy as well. Maybe we could get a discount if we both go to the same place.
Dude, your videos are top notch . You, baremetalhw, and WheelsnThangs are the leaders in die cast restorations. Keep up the fantastic work!
Dont forget Marty!
It would be awesome pink
Your videos are brilliant.
I have to say your paint jobs are nice
That's an original, with the big spike on the helmet. Your repro has the smaller 'safer' spike. Glad you stuck with the original. It turned out absolutely beautiful. I'd like to see that new Spectraflame pink on that 'Vette - I don't believe I've seen one in that colour, to be honest. Great work!
I totally forgot about those little cars....until now!!!
Great job on the resto of the Baron! As far as the vette is concerned, I'd say since its already green....how bout spectraflame green? Maybe a darker shade of green to match the color already present? Also, you could give it a little extra oomph by painting the roof black to simulate a ragtop! Just my 2 cents ;)
Super restonracher cooll
😊
Looks great!
Fantastic video!!!.....worthy to watch with a 25 yr old whisky!!!....
You're goddamn right Karl! Cheers!
My favorite Hot Wheel!!! Awesome!!!
Don't look at the hole! I couldn't take my eyes off when you said that! Great Job.
Great job!
Awesome work! Just found your channel ... Subscribed!!! Thanks!
Well done.
Great job I had one as a kid...... My vote for the vette would be spectra flame green or root beer brown....
That’s a very nice!
Beautiful entry😂and verry nice job👌
Peace ✌️
A bright lightning blue!
Nice red baron restoration, congrats, for corvette i suggest hot pink, there a cream pink very rare. I will use gold for mine, regards
I have a bunch of old hot wheels cars u do a good job
The Red Baron is a
Great Job....
If, just in case, nobody's told you that they Love You.
I'm not startin nothin.........
Luv Y'all
I love this restoration, the Red Baron is one of my favorites. You almost had me worried when you showed the other helmet with the short point, haha. Also, no iron cross re-applied? Looking forward to the next one. The pink sounds cool, or maybe a magenta or yellow. I'm sure what ever you pick it will be amazing.
The Short Point on the Helmut Was Because of Wimpy Mothers !
Not that this is my favorite car, that distinction is a three-way tie between Deora, Twin Mill, and Vairy 8, but so far and from the cars I've seen of yours so far, this is my favorite work. I've still got a lot of videos to watch.
Your work is awesome,
I think it would be better to attach the negative lead to the zinc. Negative ions always travel to the positive.
Another awesome restoration!
FACTORY restoration for the Corvette please!
I really look forward to your videos, it makes me smile the min I see you have one up and ready. Did you have a good Thanksgiving? I hope so..I am going to toss in a blue vote for next car, nobody really does a nice deep blue and I would love to see one in a royal blue shade. Thank you for making vids and you totally know how to entertain..have a Merry Christmas!
The corvette would look really nice blue. Metal flake silver base with spectra blue and clear coat and some silver pin stripe.
Yay a new Video for breakfast :D 6am here greetings from germany :)
Hopefully it didn't make your food taste bad!
i like spectraflame blue
After you mentioned it....I couldn't stop looking at the hole in the glove!
super cool video, big like.
Very nice👍👍👍...love watching your videos. Yellow
Thanks Tony!
Blue. Nice job on this one!
Great job on the baron! It's got to be a blue on the corvette :)
