    Fascinating, I never even considered restoring 64th scale cars. Now here I am binge watching.

    As always, utterly hypnotic and fascinating! A big part of it is your calm narration and no music, these videos are perfect.

    I had hundreds of cars in the 70s, I smashed them all. (I had no adult supervision). I'll bet some would be valuable today.

      Hey you used them for what they were intended for... if everyone had kept them in perfect condition they would be worth nothing.

      JDHOLTZ34 yea i wanted realism when my hotwheels were in an 'accident' - i found this large rock and borrowed dads hammer...had so many made a junkyard in this dirt pile we had growing up. funny thing is 40 years later my folks are still digging up my cars i burried so long ago just doing yard work.

    • @jackoman1097
      @jackoman1097 7 років тому +10

      Right, I’m not a fan of the color red but it really looks good on these old Hot Wheels.

    you saved another one and made it worthy of being proudly displayed.

  • @lilyh9845
    @lilyh9845 7 років тому +2

    Super, super nice!! I'm into restores also because of the high prices and rarity of the high end castings. I purchase them for my own collection, with no intent of selling them, so, value means nothing to be. I really enjoy your tutorials/videos!! Please keep them coming...

  • @neilreeder8432

  • @williamlee1429
    @williamlee1429 5 років тому

    It never ceases to amaze me that something that was probably made back then that sold for a dollar or so could be worth so much today. $30 seems like a lot to me, but not up against what you're telling me that one in Nice condition would cost. And I like the fact that you brought it back from the grave. Nice job!

      I know, they look fantastic. There's a guy that lives near me that has one, but it looks in terrible shape, with the interior torn apart, and probably no engine. I would love to see it restored, but I don't think that's happening anytime soon.

    @bizmarkie9112 5 років тому

    Lol My brothers always smashed their hotwheels. Then they'd make a "Demolition Derby" pile out of them. It's amazing to me to see ANY Hotwheel make it past all this time at all, especially the original ones. Amazing. That car is like what? $250 to $500 in value? Crazy! Very beautiful restoration!

    My own Hot Wheels project is something I always wanted to make but have never been rich enough to fund: an Automotive Museum! I plan on making mine out of boxes that I have painted up as the interior spaces of a large museum and using Velcro to stick the cars to the floor where they will be displayed (so the viewer can still pick them up and look at the details). I bought numerous new cars over the past few years, but figured my own childhood collection was far too beat up for much of the exhibit; now the techniques you describe may help a few of them come back to glory and find a place in the Collection. And now I won't feel I have to buy a pristine late 70's/early 80's Hot Bird (Pontiac Trans Am) like I had when I was a kid. I can fix one instead! Great job!

    That Mustang looks amazing.
    Still have my copper one from my childhood. windshield is scratched and one of the hood pins are broken but everything is there. The paint, however, is gone. It was bad enough that I sanded it off long ago. Love to give this a try.
    Thank you for the videos

  • @davidchristensen6908
    @davidchristensen6908 4 роки тому

    I love your videos I really like the pragmatic way you approach the repairs. The hot glue is the perfect answer and make total sense. Sitting on your shelf it will look stunning and what few times you open the hood the hot glue will work just fine. The best part of watching your videos is now I don’t have to buy a hot wheel and do all this work myself. Looking forward to your next video.

    May 1968 i walked around the corner in Woolworths toy aisle and saw one of the highlights of my life, the new hot wheels were finally here in NB Canada after the commercial being on tv for months. My friend had had gotten two in Bangor Maine a month earlier and I don't know any one who still has theirs but me. My 48 early redlines are in pretty good shape, my red Mustang is identical but with a rod runner crack in the back window. Beautiful resto job on yours.

    Loved the restoration! You should open a tiny car garage!🤣😂🤣 Hot Wheels are my favorite. I can’t even begin to tell you how many I have picked up through the years! I scored a Nitty Gritty Kitty 1967 metallic red line. Nice tires and black interior. Not a scratch on it perfect . Low mileage.😄

    Today I went to a few antique stores and completely scored!
    I got a Red Baron in really good condition for 18 dollars and then I got a Heavy Chevy with a number 5 for $9.50
    The last hotwheel I got was the purple dragster from 1975 for 12 dollars. I forgot the name of the dragster.
    Today was a great day! :)

I have this exact same car, it was the first Hot Wheels car I got back in the 1960's as a kid - it's always been my favorite and of all my cars it's the only one that's shown wear like in your first part of this video. Mine doesn't have oxidation though, but regardless it was SO interesting to see yours "reclaimed" so to speak. I love it! Thank you for posting!

    Well, well here am, if my wife knew... But it is what it is...I have been in and out of the hot wheel scene, it seems all my life...Ask my dear mother and wife, not to mention the kids... So it is good to see that I am not along in my little love of hot wheels... The only thing is I have a tendency to give them to the children of family and friends, for I do remember the fun and sense they gave me as a child... At the moment I do have a small collection that I would be hard press to give away, the child does remains, I guess in all of us... So now I am happy to go on and keep up with my hot little cars, no matter how much my dear old wife nags me not too... Here's to you and your love of them too, you make them look new... For that I thank you... Look forward to the next video...Thank you................JRC
