Extreme Redline Restoration: Hot Wheels 1969 Heavy Chevy Camaro

- In this video I restore a car for my wife's co-worker Chuck. This poor 1969 Heavy Chevy Camaro is in really bad shape but I think I was able to get it back to a "near like new" condition.

I think if I'm the owner of a Matchbox or Hot Wheels car from my childhood, I would absolutely want to restore the one I owned as a child, and not go buy one from eBay... so really, the service you are doing for Chuck is far more important then just replacing an old car with a new one... There's no replacing sentimental value👍
I have a few I've held onto for quite some time now
And these restoration videos are a huge help
I wish I had some of my childhood redlines, I don’t really even know what happened to them.
Absolutely this. Pounds, shillings and pence can't buy sentimental value!
@BartJ583 Well When I was younger I had a car that I really loved and the reason it got beat up is BECAUSE I loved it so much, I brought it everywhere, The doors and hood were missing and the only time I got rid of it was when My parents got divorced and it was thrown out in the move. So maybe he just liked the car enough that it did get damaged, sometimes it just happens
I'm the youngest of three brothers, My pocket money, lunch money all went in the Toy shop directly over the road from school so along with hand me downs I had infinite "Sentimental," Cars that when i left home My Darling Mother donated to Charity!
WoW that one had been through the war. Im a watchmaker, that specializes in antique pocket watches. I fully understand the sentimental aspect of restoring. People will bring a 7 jewel watch that belonged to a grandparent to get it serviced. 7 jewel watches are just not economically worth repairing as the shafts for the gears are in metal and not jewel bearings so the holes get oblong. They have to be drilled out and bushings added. It can cost $500 for a badly worn watch. For that you could get a 21 jewel railroad watch. But that wouldnt have belonged to a family member.
I’m a sucker for watch servicing. Could you upload some videos about your work from time to time? Instant subscriber here if you do it.
So true
Do it
Hey dude. I am just so random Disney parks content creator with no interest in hot wheels what so ever, but I can’t stop watching your videos. You’re phenomenal and I appreciate all your content. It’s captivating.
Hey Its Disney Dan I heard about you from Defunctland
As a hot wheels collector I randomly watched Disney content from 2018 and now have small interest In it
I know it would be easier to just buy a $10 one from somewhere, but the fact that it was "resurrected from the dead" makes it all the more pleasurable. We are living in a throw away world, so I'm glad that there are people out there still reviving old treasures.
You get a thumbs up just for attempting this restore.
As a 21 year old it’s very hard to explain to my friends why I love this channel.
This might be the most badly damaged car youve restored/modded.
Maybe but the VW Bug was pretty beat up as well
The python was the worst.
Bye-focal was the worst
It may not be the most damaged one, but it's certainly right up there with the others.....Every single time I see them in this kind of shape, I'm almost surprised he's able to restore them so well.....and then I remember just how much experience he has doing this, and the surprise goes away.....He's talented and gifted at this! That much is certain!
He had to use CPR to get this thing restored
For as much "play" this car has been through, it came out great. Your friend hopefully realizes how much of a difference you made. I'm impressed, with your work.
I'm 60 and have many hot wheels and matchbox cars and appreciate your work. Cool.
You are a true craftsman. Beautiful work
Well done dude well done, Chuck will be very proud of you restoring his childhood Hot Wheels Car.
It is 625pm You do amazing work I have just started watching you and you have taught me a lot of things I still have a long way to go and I want you to know I appreciate it and for now I am going back to watch you do what you do so well Thankyou
BaremetalHW You’re often imitated but never duplicated. Of all the guys doing diecast restorations and customs, your channel still remains my favorite.
Dude, you never stop to impress me how professional your restaurations are.
Now that is awesome. The past has a way to influence what we can reform today. Restoration is all across UA-cam and this channel helps to how small things have big importance
Considering how bad that car was it came out absolutely fantastic. I like the you pointed out the need to balance the sanding vs living with some imperfections, and filling in what others that you can. I've watched some of your previous videos where some of the cars were over sanded as you mentioned. The approach used here is certainly preferable. A car that isn't as beat up would have much better results too. Overall I'm very impressed with your work. Keep it coming.
As always I find your videos informative and helpful. I'm still learning so much about doing these restorations. Your videos inspired me to give it a go and I'm enjoying it so much
Nice work!!!! From junker to jewel!!! Love watching your programs.
Great work man. Love that green shiny finish! Considering this thing will never be played with like that again, now it’ll last another 100 years! 😎👍🏽
Your work continues to amaze me. The cars take me down memory lane. Thank you.
I keep re-watching these episodes
I won't speak for everyone, but I would say the bigger the transformation the more people will watch.... I certainly did enjoy it. Thx
This type of video means so much more to me, when there is a sentimental backstory and the outcome is this nice.
This video is proof of your craft. I thought this junker was beyond saving and you made it look better than new.
Incredible work and a great video! These toys once provided hours of entertainment for a child. It's amazing to see them restored.
I'm getting ready to sell all of my red line hot wheels on ebay from my childhood. Watching these restoration videos makes me want to restore them and keep them. Lol. I'm torn 😫
My son and I fixed a t-bird up that I had as a child. The windshield had a big crack in it. I painted it with blue tint spray paint, hiding the crack. It wasn't a restoration to your level, but it looks pretty good with it's new wheels and paint. He plays with it all the time.
What a treat! To have the master restore a childhood Hot Wheels Red Line car for you. As usual, you did a great job with what you had to work with.
I have never been into cars or owned any hot wheels and I have no idea why UA-cam suggested your video to me but I am hooked.
There is something cathartic about what you do, I feel really good when I see a toy that has seen a *lot* of love get even more.
Please keep making these extreme restoration videos. Sure, it might be 10 bucks at the shop but it doesn't have a story like this car does!
Worth the effort just to keep a favourite childhood memory alive and kicking - fantastic job as always, despite the damage! 👍
Wow! I didn't think that turd would take a polish, but it polish it did! It looks great!
I find your skill and your videos absolutely amazing I could watch them all day thank you
Honestly I was so sad to go see all my Redline cars in bad shape because i didn't know they would have value, so i thought it was a loss but the fact you show how to restore them is great so my collection can show beauty with a story behind the makeup
That was not a restoration, it was a resuscitation! Very nice job!
That was a miraculous transformation! Brilliant work, just brilliant!
Cant stop watching these
The "before" picture looks like every car i have owned! Nice job!
the imperfections give the spectraflame depth and extra shimmer. Very nice work
Awesome video! I like how you explain all of the details of what you've done and how you do it! I've never tried to restore a Hot Wheels car but it looks like fun!
That was a masterpiece! I really enjoy the way you do your restorations! Congrats!
Another beautiful restoration! It was certainly worthy of the restoration- for the owner and the viewer. It wasn’t necessary for you to do, but it is appreciated by the rest of us.
Incredible job! I wasn't familiar with Redline restoration until I saw your videos.
This is without a doubt the most damaged car you’ve done, and like always, turns out incredible. I love your videos!
I don't restore or collect these cars, but your videos are really satisfying to watch.
You really brought that ride back from the brink. Great job, car looks wonderful.
You did a great job of restoring this car, and I really like how it turned out. The green is absolutely fabulous, and I am certain the original owner of the car is very proud of it now.
You do Awesome work. Enjoyed watching your video and it’s always nice to see redlines again 👍👍
I love this car, I love the paint color, and I love the restoration you did! Great video.
You did great considering what you started with. I would restore my old cars but my little brother inherited them, and he played "scrapyard" with hammers and rocks!
Astonishingly superb restoration!
Great work! I am sure this guy appreciates what you did as you saved this one bigtime!
Okay, if this was a childhood toy of mine that held sentimental value to me, then I would be absolutely thrilled with this.
Another fantastic and great job! I really enjoy your videos and all the effort you go to show us your hard work!
Love these videos keep them coming. Great job on the resto I'm sure Chuck was well pleased with the final result.
WOW! What you did made a big difference. Very cool! Keep up the good work. Thanks.
Great restoration...this is one of my favorite castings
Awesome resto. Fantastic result!
You did a great job considering what you started with . I watched a guy on youtube replace a broken piece ( dump truck ladder )with JB weld . That would have probably have worked on those pillars . But you did more than I would have on this car . Thanks for posting .
That is absolutely amazing, I think this is one of your better Restorations. That had the scale of damage.
Awesome skill. Thanks for posting.
I still have my Chrome 69 Heavy Chevy that came in my Hot Wheels club membership. The other club car that was available was the Chrome Cougar I think. Mine is not as bad as this one but the stickers came off quick with play back then and I smoothed out the wheels with all the skidding on the fireplace hearth. Thanks for these restos as they look great!!!
Awesome, love watching your videos!
You are the best painter. Great job. Thanks...
I love this restoration
Beautiful job all around
A valiant attempt. You're not so lucky as Marty in Australia who can use baking soda with the super glue to fix broken pillars and putty to fill in pits because of the translucent Spectraflame paint. I think you got this car as far as you could given its rough shape. I always enjoy your videos for your commentary as well as seeing the process and the result. Six hours is surely a labor of love.
thank you for commentating this restoration. it's nice to hear the reason certain steps are done.
Here we go again! A fresh episode, wonderful! Pre-view post! Gonna enjoy those 7:41 minutes, that's for sure. Thank you very much for uploading!
Awesome restoration,,,,this channel inspired me to start restoring models here in England,,,and it's so satisfying to get them looking good again,,this week I did a Matchbox 280 pre supercars wheels and happy with results,,,each week as you practice the results improve,,swishing all a super New Year,,,,
It has a really stunning final color! And you finally got me hooked enough to find some Hotwheels from about the '90's to mess with. Gonna pull them apart today and mess with 'em. :)
One of the best hot wheels restored by one of the best 👍
Brilliant restoration really impressed!
Your videos are so incredible and inspiring, I don’t have access to all the cars so I am left to modify some of my newer ones, but what you do is amazing the way you can breathe new life into these cars just incredible and hope you keep making amazing videos like this and have a very good day. :)
You do great work! Thanx for sharing!
FINALLY! a heavy chevy restoration video, been waiting for awhile, a lot of damage, looks amazing in the end keep up the work.
OMG !! You did a great work with this piece !! OMG when video started I thought it could be almost imposible, but you did it !! Awesome restoration !!

Looks top shelf for what you had to work with. Merry christmas and all the best in the new year.
Quite the transformation! Bet the owner will be thrilled
Nicely done. Looks great.
Green is my favorite spectra flame color. I love the way yours turned out!!
I had the Custom AMX and Mustang Boss Hoss in spectraflame green.
I enjoy all your videos. Just fun and amazed to watch even now I keep my eyes open when I go to flea markets or garage sales
It's amazing, great work as always
I think you did a very nice thing for this guy. Love the result. Green is by far my favorite color, so that's a bonus, here. Many thanks for sharing the project as usual.
I'm always impressed with your skill. I think this one turned out great and I hope the original owner loves it.
Great build and historic HotWheel.
