Hot Wheels Redline Buzz Off Restoration - 1970s

- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- Hot Wheels Buzz Off Redline Restoration - Going through some old Hot Wheels castings, I saw this old Buzz Off casting and figured it was a good time to restore it. I also experimented a little more with the Hot Swap bearings and finally got them to work properly for me…with a little adjustment. I hope you like the results! #hotwheels #redline #restoration

Awesome, awesome, awesome restoration. Those deep dish wheels look cool. Glad you saved it.
Thanks so much Rudy! I was REALLY happy with how it turned out!
Awesome job on this restoration project. Thanks for the tip on drilling out the holes in the bearings 👍🏽😎
Thanks Armando!
A very unique casting, great job restoring it. The De Ja Blue really suit this casting well too.
Thanks John! Gotta love that De Ja Blue!
That is definitely one you do not see every day, it is looking fantastic now. Great job brother
Thanks David!
"WrongWay Jim" strikes again! ;) lol! I think we all can relate. I put a waterslide decal on upside down once, and it was stuck-fast that way. lol It happens, man! Sometimes things are a struggle--up hill both ways--day late & a dollar short, and we're lucky that we get it accomplished at all! You always come up aces, Jim, so don't sweat it! This turned out looking great! Such a radical improvement! Love it!
Thanks so much Loston! It gets really tough with little, tiny decals like on an upcoming Bone Shaker build you'll be seeing in about two weeks. I made decals for the taillights, and if they don't come off the backing while soaking, they stick to my finger and it's anyone's guess what direction anything is going lol
Nice save on that backwards decal. Really great restoration on this one!
LOL it was a really lucky save at that LOL Thanks!
I'm a 77 baby but I eemember having one of these as a kid. it's a cool looking casting. you did a great job on the resto
'77 baby -- damn kid lololol Hell, I was cruising around in my '65 El Camino when you were pooping your diapers lololol Thanks Neil!
@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms ya I'm jealous you guys had all the cool cars could work at a gas station and still own a house then it went to hell. I may only soon to be 47 but my body feels much older lol
I do like the result and that is a roller. Great restoration. Love the blue! Thank you
Thanks Brian!
Turned out beautiful Jim, love that color blue. Thanks for sharing, take care and stay safe my friend.
Thanks Gary!
Never seen the Buzz Off before, but it's not hard to stump me! And, as a man who has put decals on backwards and NOT caught it, I applaud your save on this one!😀 Really nice restoration, Jim. Enjoy your weekend. 🍁☕👍
LOLOL I don't deserve too much applause for catching the decal being backwards - the ONLY reason I caught it is because it wouldn't fit. If it had, I would have happily applied it and clearcoated right over it lol Thanks Andrew!
I remember this casting, nice restoration, my brother.
Thanks Gary!
Love Deja Blue! Great little restoration Jim!
Thanks Ron!
Nice restoration. Came out looking great. Nice work
Thanks Jody!
Nice restoration, details and paint job 👌 👍
Thanks Joe!
Great job Jim love how you laugh at yourself when things don't go right I do the same but with a few expletives lol
LOL Thanks! That's why I do voiceovers on my videos. I can still laugh at what's happening and no one hears all of the actual swearing that was happening as I was doing the work lol
Very nice restoration there Jim keep up the good work stay safe and healthy out there and God bless my friend
Thanks so much JC! Hope you have a fantastic week!
Incredible resto! Looks like new. I´m amazed.
Thanks so much Fritz!
Outstanding job as always Jim!!! Thanks for the ride!!
Thanks for coming along for the ride Eddie!
I really like the style of this casting. The finished car looks great.
Thanks Ian!
Super restorasion top😊
Thank you!
WOW! That is such a nice job! It looks better than new!
Thanks Mark!
Awesome. Nice save on the decal. You did such a nice job on it. It actually makes me want to restore the one I have.
Alan from Maine
Thanks Alan! You should restore the one you have - it's a really fun restoration to do!
Great job Jim 👍🏻
Thanks Mark!
@@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms you're welcome 😊
Like it, Jim.
Don't know, if I've ever seen that cast. 👍
Thanks Uri!
Cool car,and some crazy lines on it. Turned out great
Thanks Morten - it really is an interesting casting!
Yes, when restoring diecast cars the wheels must roll even if they never see a Hot Wheels track ever again! It's the principle!😊
I'm really glad I got the Hot Swap bearings to roll on this one - it does make it so much better!
This is really good 🤩 good job jim
Thanks Noey!😊
Very nice Jim
Thanks Michael!
Really good work like the paint
Thanks so much -- I love that Testors paint - it lays down nicely and the color is tough to beat
Great restoration...what a "comeback" with the decal stickers 😅...if I'm not mistaken, the original name of this casting was called the "Tri Baby", designed by Hot Wheels Legendary Designer Larry Wood...this restoration is worthy of anyone's display, and I think Larry himself would be proud 😉 😊.
Thanks! I was lucky the decals worked out the way they did lol. That's correct, the casting was originally released as the Tri Baby and later renamed to Buzz Off (which seems like a really odd renaming to me lol)
Love seeing your restorations! Great job. Im ready for another Gaslands build. Making the purists cringe using a redline as a starter casting would be AWESOME!
Thanks Aaron! I’ve been thinking the same thing - I need to do a Gaslands build in the not too distant future. Got a few other things on the bench before it though lol
Turned out great, Jim! I did one of these several months back and noticed the same concerns with the decals. Like you, I ended up using the Micro Sol to get that hood decal to suck down…was nervous the whole way 😂. My resto ended up as the example picture on Vince’s site, so I guess it turned out pretty good 😁. Onward and Upward, brother! Thanks for sharing your skills and knowledge.
LOL I completely relate to the "nervous the whole way" about that hood decal. Without Micro Sol to the rescue, it wouldn't have been pretty...and there is that waiting and fingers crossed period where you're just hoping it all works out lol Thanks for watching!
That’s so awesome!!! I have one of that casting in gold chrome that says gold bug on it, cool car and great restoration, Mr. Jim!
Thanks Charles!
Great job
Thanks!
Very nice job Jim that was such a great restore,I believe I have this one too to restore.
Thanks Scott! It's a fun restore to work on - I'm sure you'll have a good time doing yours!
nice. love the deep blue. :) at first I thought you did the one for the front onto the back... but puttign it on backwards happens to the best of us. :) at least you caught it in time. ^^
Lol if the decal had been shaped just a little differently, I never would have noticed the error lol. Thanks! I love the blue too!
Noice restore. Cheers Graham
Thanks Graham!
Fantastic Jim. You are my inspiration for doing Hotwheels customs and restorations. Thanks for all your content!
Are you doing a candy car for the next Diecast Resurection Super Ginormous Buildoff? I am. Keep your eyes peeled for the Jolly Ranchero!
bugs
Thanks so much Bruce! I'm not doing a candy build for this round of the buildoff...but hopefully I'll do the next one (I did the first one but this round just didn't work out). I'll watch for your build!
New subscriber here. Very nice job, I look forward to watching your previous restorations and future ones
Thanks and welcome to the channel!
Great restoration, Jim. I have had a similar problem with the quick swap bearings. I have a build coming up later this year and I am planning to drill out the bearings. Thanks for the info.
Thanks Skip! Those bearings have been my nemesis on so many builds...and I finally figured it out lol. I'm going to do a short tip video about it soon.
I like the casting with the way the bonnet opens. That blue was an excellent choice. Like the 6-wheeler in your channel banner. Oh no, your goat is having an identity crissis! 😆
Hope you have a nice weekend, my friend!
Oh Dave...that poor goat lol You wouldn't believe the sounds he was making yesterday when I was doing the voiceover for the Four Horsemen build at the end of the month (and no...a horse would have been too obvious lol) Thanks so much! Have a great week!
@@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms 😁Thanks!
Nice Upload Jim....thanks again for your channel. PS- you have strong hands =P AlltheBest- Eddy
I hope I'm not barking up the wrong goat, but it seems to me the pinstripe decals have a much thicker line than the unrestored pinstripes. That is not saying it doesn't look better than when you started, rather...than what you started with. It cleary looks better thanks to your efforts. I just prefer the narrower or finer pinstripes. Great video as always! Glad you get my goat at the end of all them! Have fun with your toys!
Thanks David! It's a fine line between the two pinstripes (lololol...sorry, couldn't resist)
I second the deep dish. To be fair I prefer a Sicilian pie too 😀
🤣🤣🤣🤣
👍 Thx 🇧🇪.
Thanks Rudi!
More content quicker, a mutual friend in SLO told me about your channel and now I gotta support so I'm slowly watching through your library but need more
Thanks JM! I need to strike a careful balance between publishing more content and making people sick of watching my videos. I'm joking...but not really. I've spent as much time during the past six months or so learning and experimenting with the "behind the scenes" of the channel as much as I have doing little cars. Fortunately, I enjoy both. Thanks for watching!
Like my Drill Sargent in the Marine Corps used to say, freaking outstanding work 😂 I said "freaking" but he used a different word and I'm going to keep this comment clean. 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣 thanks so much Fernando!

Thanks for watching Kenny!
Hey Jim. What size tap and die set are you using?
Generally I just buy drill and tap sets from Amazon - 1-72 for the older, small post Hot Wheels and 2-56 for most other castings.
That restore came out so very well......I'd give up my front seat in hell to have that car. Come to think...I'd pay good money to secure your service-
Thanks Eddy! I'm pretty darn pleased myself with how it turned out!
