Not only you do a great job and throw constantly pearls of wisdom around your very beautifully done craft. You do it in such a funny way. I’m always laughing with you. Thanks... 😂😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️
I absolutely love your attitude in these vids. You’re just so casual and not afraid to sing every now and then. You reach us on such a fun loving and exciting level. Don’t stop making these vids!!!!!
"Oh no! Steering wheel!" Hahahaha. Keep up bein urself with the commentary, could even turn it up a bit imo, brings lots of good laughs, definitely what sets you apart from the other channels
The actual Deora started life out as a 1965 Dodge A100 Pickup I believe. I'm usually not one for custom cars like it, but I have an odd fascination with it.
Lookie there you have another video up and looks like a few more subs, you are really making some head way and I am sure in this instance I can speak for everyone when I say...Great Job, Keepem Coming!
Hey! I think it turned out just fine! And the Spectraflame Anti-freeze green is the definitive choice for a Hotwheels Deora. Neat fact: I'm building a full-sized replica. Hope to have it running and driving this summer!
Wait, you're Canadian?! Always nice to encounter a fellow eh-sayer. After the paint job I thought your green turned out well. Had to wait 'till the end to see why you were displeased - but I'm not critisizing. Like your vids. Somehow, they're calming.
As a kid, I always thought the wheels were too small on the Deora. I see now it is likely any larger size would not clear the body. Like other comments - I thoroughly enjoy your comments. Will someday be utilizing your tips for my own restorationsy. Going to be my retirement hobby.
Order '85% Food Grade Phosphoric Acid", it will be your best choice; I use it for cleaning antique radio chassis. I'm a retired Boeing Engineer, back in '92/'93, we (voluntarily) assisted the Smithsonian at Silver Hill, MD, in restoring avionics from the B-29 "Enola Gay". They tested 17 different polishing mediums on the aluminum alloy skin; "Flitz" won out, however, "Nevr-Dull" wadding was a close second, and "Simoniz Chrome Cleaner" brought up the pack. "Nevr-Dull" wadding did the best job on what little exposed 'pot metal' was used.
Ive heard that Colgate or similar basic white toothpaste can also work as polish if you're in a bind. Avoid translucent gel varieties, though, as they don't have the same micro-abrasives as the white pastes.
MR. Diecast, the Deora was originally based on the Dodge A-100 pickup, very similar to the Ford pick-up you have on your work bench. the original Deora was not much of a hot rod. it had the basic slant 6 with an automatic transmission.
NOOOO NOT THE PAINT!!!! Great job on the resorption looks great I would have kept it origanal and not done anything to it maby replace the axels but that's it.
This video is very interesting and you are very very funny XD. The begin of this video is a masterpiece, AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! I can't stop to watch it!
Hello. I enjoy your videos on hot wheel restorations and I have a couple of questions for you. How smelly is the aircraft stripper that you use, and how long will it last in it's original container? Watching your videos has made me want to try to restore hot wheels myself. Your cars look amazing. Keep up the good work!!!
Love your work. I know the feeling about tools breaking. Uggg I. But being the Craftsman you are you know that some of can't afford the best tools. I learned the hard way getting cancer an loosing all my tools. The green rocks. Love it. Hate to hear Amazon doesn't like Canada, guess it's a US thing. Lol
Have you seen how Marty's Matchbox restoration puts a new rivet end on the axles? It might be something you want to try like on projects like this one.
Instead of vinyl paint (i’m only a minute in) to paint the tanneau cover, Marhyde makes an etch paint called Black Satin. Super adhesion, especially to softer metals, and a great lustre. The regular Marhyde vinyls look good but you may have adhesion problems. Now I‘ll watch the rest of the video ... likely to see you using Black Satin.
Phosphoric is used for circuit board etching. The Source/Radio Shack used to have it but you'll probably have to go to a specialist electronics store now.
@@DiecastResurrection unless you do a custom wheel swap and maybe an unusual paint choice there's not much else you can do with a Deora except add the surf boards. Of course it would be a custom then and not true Redline 😊 I think Spectraflame red with Redlines always looks awesome, although you done that already with that fantastic beetle👍
@@DiecastResurrection yeah, it's missing a "POW" but it's nice and clean and that counts for a lot. I feel your pain with your favorite airbrush. I never had a tool to clean my tip but I always spent a great deal of time cleaning my airbrush.
I get what he's saying here. I have a Spectra Flame pink Twin Mill from the 2002 Legends Hall of Fame series that goes POW every time the light hits it the right way. Actually I have two... One still in original packaging and one that I bought loose for extra POW factor. The only other cars I have with that finish are the Johnny Lightning Camaro Collection First Shots from 1999, the three car set of Twin Mills 30th anniversary and a green Deora from 1997.
Ever thought of painting real cars and motorcycles? You got talent brother. Just found your page, pretty cool. You should try painting the real deal. Damn nice paint jobs!!
having done some car detailing, id suggest looking at meguiars professional line of products - the polishes come in varying levels of abrasiveness and more consistent quality overall compared to most of the shelf stuff sold at auto stores, etc - and no i dont work for them! lol
I think the colour matched quite close to the original. What don't you like about the paint that makes you think about redoing it? Is the finish bad? I think it turned out pretty nice. Btw the Deora is one of my favourite castings, I have a couple of later Treasure Hunt versions in a nice deep metallic blue👍 Another cool video thanks for sharing 😉
If and when I get my gun fixed, and If I repaint it.. the end result will be way nicer I think. Using that cheap air brush was rough, it was spitting, and farting, and it had a different seize needle then I usually use so... I'm just complaining Gary
Redline Restoration , Rubbing Compound on A Real Car is Used for Oxidation and Fine Scratches . Usually Wax Would Be Used After to protect Finish. I Think The Deora Looks Alright !
That restoration looks great! Seems like a waste that someone cut the axels for the wheels or what ever. As I understand the axels usually is in good original condition whereas the wheels may not be. And maybe replacement axels are hard to come by or maybe they are quite expensive - I don’t know. All I know I would never cut the axles. But great looking Deora restoration:-)
I'm guessing whomever needed the bearings, the guy I bought all these from has a little collection of redlines. His must be amazing because he considered all these ones from my unboxing videos "junk".
Cheers from Peterborough Canada ive been detailing for over 20 years and i wondered why you arnt using a metal polish and brass bristled wire brushes ?
Yeah, back in the day I thought I was a bad air brush painter. Then I bought a gravity feed gun. I believe the paint just atomizes better with gravity feed.
"I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened."
And here I am using the good ol' Harbor Fright Deeelux like a boss. Guess I'm just used to it. Or maybe just got lucky with a good one. That is the only problem with Harbor Fright Tools. You kind of have to do your own quality control. And may have to exchange a couple before a good one hits your hands. As for any detail work. That airbrush wont do that. Paint the back side of lexan rc bodies, it does great. And primer of course. Or maybe acrylic top coat. Something like that the deelux shines at.
Well you never know, Harbor Freight might have got it right. The one I was using the mechanical parts for the trigger for really flimsy feeling compared to my Paasche. Do you find yourself sanding or polishing after paint? I haven’t had to, but if I did they would be even nicer than they are :D
Hey Dr. Diecast, do you know that the center punch you have is for breaking windows and not supposed to be used as a center punch. That’s what the seller said when I bought it, not that it makes any difference.
Sounds pretty dangerous, I would never push on a window with the force it takes to fire the punch. I think the guy just doesn't know what they are used for.
I think your being a bit harsh man. I think it turned mighty fine , l'd be happy with how it turned out if I'd done it .... alright I'm not seeing it close up but from what I can see it's a darn good job .... 😦....... are you interested in selling it 😕? .... I haven't got a Deora
Your axles are fine, it's the nylon bushings that are missing. You do know that you are working with a Hot Wheels classic, right? The Deora was one of if not the best loved of the first series Mattel released. back then your $0.99 bought you a surprisingly well build and well detailed METAL die cast toy car.
Not only you do a great job and throw constantly pearls of wisdom around your very beautifully done craft. You do it in such a funny way. I’m always laughing with you. Thanks... 😂😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️
I absolutely love your attitude in these vids. You’re just so casual and not afraid to sing every now and then. You reach us on such a fun loving and exciting level. Don’t stop making these vids!!!!!
Great job
Being self critical is how we get better. This is my new favorite channel.
you do an awesome job , with a great since of humor
Hot Wheels were always my go-to toy of choice when I was young. Your restorations are amazing. Gives me a great sense of nostalgia. Well done.
I've binged my way through all of your videos and I've enjoyed every one. Looking forward to your next one. Booger green 😂.
Wow you make it all the way to the ol' Deora! lol
Well I must say that turned out really great, thank you, take care. From South Africa 🇿🇦
You’re hilarious while you’re working.
"Oh no! Steering wheel!" Hahahaha. Keep up bein urself with the commentary, could even turn it up a bit imo, brings lots of good laughs, definitely what sets you apart from the other channels
fine but it will be hard to beat Marty drinking brake fluid.
You are fast becoming my favorite UA-cam restorer. Very nice work all around.
Thanks Mike, I'm glad you are here!
What you do is amazing! This is one of my favorite Hot Wheels.
You're by far my favorite diecast restoration channel. Keep up the good work
Thanks I appreciate that! Beauty of a comment!
@@DiecastResurrection god bless you
The actual Deora started life out as a 1965 Dodge A100 Pickup I believe. I'm usually not one for custom cars like it, but I have an odd fascination with it.
Paint looks fine to me!
Absolutely my favorite car next to the Radio Flyer wagon with the chrome wing.
That is one Sick model!! Love it!!
Lookie there you have another video up and looks like a few more subs, you are really making some head way and I am sure in this instance I can speak for everyone when I say...Great Job, Keepem Coming!
Mr. Anderson,😂😂😂,cool video bro,nice job!
HADUKEN! lol
There is a reason you are my fav die cast channel.. your personality matches up with mine...
HADUKEN!!
@@DiecastResurrection I have junker edition hotweels are they supposed to be missing their hood..?
Hey! I think it turned out just fine! And the Spectraflame Anti-freeze green is the definitive choice for a Hotwheels Deora. Neat fact: I'm building a full-sized replica. Hope to have it running and driving this summer!
That's actually a great platform for science fiction stuff like Gerry Anderson's Thunderbirds.
I think the paint looks very good. I would not change it. Wish I could do as good.
Wait, you're Canadian?! Always nice to encounter a fellow eh-sayer.
After the paint job I thought your green turned out well. Had to wait 'till the end to see why you were displeased - but I'm not critisizing.
Like your vids. Somehow, they're calming.
Yea it’s ok, I a lot of people complain that the colour is hard to make look nice. When I was done it was kinda meh. I’ve been known to eh.
Another great job! The only thing missing the surf boards😎👍
I don't see anything wrong with that, looks great to my untrained eye. Nice job.
I think it looks great, too. He's nudging himself a little too harshly here. 😀
syphon feed airbrushes are great you can get larger paint pots that attach to them. I've got a 30 dollar Paasche syphon feed and it works great
Miss this channel so much. Hopeful we'll see a return at some point. Been 2 years to the day since his last post! Fingers crossed.
8:43 master reveals himself!
Oh I remember seeing this in the unboxing video
Gotta love a challenge eh great video fellow Canadian
Awesome,looks good to me.
As a kid, I always thought the wheels were too small on the Deora. I see now it is likely any larger size would not clear the body. Like other comments - I thoroughly enjoy your comments. Will someday be utilizing your tips for my own restorationsy. Going to be my retirement hobby.
Never seen that mud pie before but a good result

Nothing wrong with that result. Even on a large screen it looked good.

Watching your videos has made me want to try to restore hot wheels myself. Your cars look amazing. Keep up the good work!!!
It’s really smelly George, like almost pure Ammonia, I’m not sure if the spray can version is any better I know other guys use that.
sweet , lifetime favorite car and color
Didn't this one come with surf boards. Looks Good. 🚘
Came for the diecast resurrection
, stayed for the witty dialogue

It must look different in person...paint looks awesome! Phosphoric acid? Try Coca Cola. :)
I think youre too hard on yourself about that paintjob. It came out fantastic, no dingles, no runs, it looks great dood.
I think the original paint looked great.
I took apart a Deora just the other day and my steering wheel fell out too--mine wil be purple
I am not seeing what you are seeing here. It looks pretty damned good to me.
Im just seeing a boring old Deroa.. I wanted more of a POW in yo face Deroa!!
@@DiecastResurrection unless you do a custom wheel swap and maybe an unusual paint choice there's not much else you can do with a Deora except add the surf boards. Of course it would be a custom then and not true Redline 😊

Let's watch! 😁
If only cars were that to fix.
As a Canadian Tire tool tester, I feel I have to defend the Mastercraft air brush...but then again...it’s crappy. Another sweet resto!
I have a confession... I didn't even clean it after that video.. just want it to sit in its own filth.
Antifreeze green is awesome.
AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
PLEASE, PLEASE'PLEASE
I need to know what is that tool used to clean out the nozzle on the air brush!!!!!!!

Have you ever thought about using. Automotive body putty? Works amazing on pits. Good if you are using solid paint.then prime
Yep, I have some sitting here waiting for a car that needs it :D
Before the black coat you should spray transpant paint first so you will have no bleeding.
Redline Restoration , Rubbing Compound on A Real Car is Used for Oxidation and Fine Scratches . Usually Wax Would Be Used After to protect Finish. I Think The Deora Looks Alright !
I liked it
Cool I have 2 of them I wish there was a way to fix the axle I have the same air brush oh no I haven’t used it yet
looks better than it did.keep it as a reminder not to use the other air brush.
That restoration looks great! Seems like a waste that someone cut the axels for the wheels or what ever. As I understand the axels usually is in good original condition whereas the wheels may not be.

Diecast Resurrection I saw on eBay that restored HW and MBX Lesney goes for like 50-100 USD if not more
👍I love deoras
I like the silver version
Have you ever seen a Subaru Forester with a hood scoop and turbo from Hot wheels? Nice job on deora, what make was the cheap air brush?
Cheers from Peterborough Canada ive been detailing for over 20 years and i wondered why you arnt using a metal polish and brass bristled wire brushes ?
Siphon feed is all I've ever used, so when pick up a gravity feed...it feels weird.
Yeah, back in the day I thought I was a bad air brush painter. Then I bought a gravity feed gun. I believe the paint just atomizes better with gravity feed.

Maybe a failed paint job [it looks pretty good] but definitely not a failed video ... interesting stuff.

Doing a great job looking good keep up the good work I live in Ontario Canada is there a web site where I can get parts for hot wheels ???
Dr. Diecast, I was wondering, do you have flashing nightmares. Haha.
Mostly bear attack ones actually :(
Surfboards?
What kind of red marker your using?

Dude someone snipped off the axle BEHIND the bushing, I don't need to explain myself to you.
