I honestly can’t put my finger on it, but I feel this resto has been your best one to date. Everything about it just turned out so right, and the engine transplant worked great.
Love ur phrasing, anunciation, word structure as in sentence formation. Love ur customs and restores and the great dialogue. It's been a while, we missed u.... customizer to customizer CHEERS-well done!!!!
That looks awesome. You should make a new updated version of a complete redline restoration how-to since your audience has grown much larger. Since it is been so long since you first made the video, you can show all the new techniques you have learned since then like zinc plating, electropolishing, etc. , and maybe some alternatives for those who don’t have the tools, that way new viewers won’t have to ask so many questions, and I won’t heave to hear why you clip the wheels off rather than pull them off every time😂
Twin Mill always a fave. As a kid i remember being genuinely delighted when this and other new models were introduced, thank you for giving them shiny new lives😃 It's an endless task, taking detail to perfection, but smoothing the seams and edges of these beauties makes them look great. You're really not fooling anyone once the pins are drilled away and repro wheels put on.
Beautiful restoration, and I will agree with you about the engines, they look pretty close to the old ones, love learning how to restore cars, 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘🦘From the land down under
Wonderful job on an iconic car. Just enough flash removal to make the car presentable. The paint and the engines look great. Seems like it is always to long between your videos. You are definitely one of the best, thank you for sharing all of your tricks and techniques.
That's one beautiful looking Twin Mill!! Personally, my mother had one of the original Twin Mills from 1969! Hers was colored Spectraflame Light Blue. Sadly, sometime in the early to mid-1990s, my older brother Stephen inherited the Twin Mill from Mom only to accidentally misplace it somewhere. Luckily, I have 2 Twin Mills! One is a Red 30th Anniversary Edition Twin Mill I got off Ebay in July 2017, and the other Twin Mill is the exact same colored HW Exotics Twin Mill from 2018 that is seen in this video. I even recreated the HW Exotics Twin Mill in Forza Horizon 3 as well! I don't know about you, but I believe that at least some original Twin Mills from back in the day had their engines feel like they were somewhat loose or something. The fact that the engines were originally separate parts from each other may be the explanation for why the engines felt loose. Apparently Mattel must've noticed this and joined the engines and cockpit together to fix this issue.
The Twin Mill is a must-have redline in my opinion and I’m glad that there are many modern examples for younger kids to have one in their collections! I have 3 redline examples; one in antifreeze, one in green, and the rose one in this video
@@brandoncraddock3081 Sweet, glad you have the same awesome taste for the Twin Mill that I have! I even went as far as not only recreating my blue HW Exotics Twin Mill in Forza Horizon 3, but also creating this video of mine here featuring the Twin Mill in both real life in-game: ua-cam.com/video/46yOgGnP6dw/v-deo.html I simply spliced together gameplay footage with real life footage to make it convincing, lol!
I have those same two! The black with red flames was a 2009 release though. The 1969 date on the bottom is a copyright. There should be an alpha numeric code though, A being 2008, B is 2009, etc., and the number being the week in the year. That being said, I repainted mine black with a dark blue racing stripe, made a crash bar with rally lights, repainted the wheels, and added a lift. The old windshield was bad, so I made one. Completely screwed any collectability.
I think the oldest HW I have is a Mazda MX-5. I looked it up on the wiki and it shows it was made in 1995. It's the dark red one. It's in fair condition for its age. The paint is chipped a lot on the front bumper, but other than that it's still an okay car.
Hi baremetalHW, Good day to you, This Redline Restoration: Hot Wheels 1969 Twin Mill turned out AWESOME! The engine swap was a great. Take care, wishing the very best, and hope you have a creative fun week. Thank you for sharing your time, talents, ideas, and Super Excellent Fun Videos. Peace & Joy
Yes! Another baremetalHW video! You’re easily one of my favourite youtubers and I look forward to each and every upload. This car turned out brilliant as usual, great job .
I've been waiting for another copy to complete my resto. I thought I had one, but it turns out its a treasure hunt car.... so ya.... that ones not coming out of the package. Great job too!
Great build, man. Loved the way you retro-fitted the newer engines. I’m sure the customer will be stoked when he gets it back for his collection. I real beauty.
I do need to correct you on the statement at 7:40 on the manufactures dates starting in 2008, Mattel began using base codes for Hot Wheels vehicles. The base code can be used to identify when an individual vehicle was actually manufactured in the Hot Wheels factory. The L03 on the blue twin mill means it was made in 2019 in the 3rd week. Also the years mean the car was first copy right in 1969, a re tool in 2011, and in 2014 the new one that was released in 2019 as a t-hunt has an 18 for it's new plastic base.
It's always a treat to watch someone else do precise, exacting work. Because of your channel, I subscribed to all the other toy restoration channels. I can't get enough restoration action! Competing offerings lack the quiet competence and purity of this channel, however. BaremetalHW videos are almost hypnotic.
At last! A classic Red Line restoration video! Great and hypnotic as always. From watching virtually all your videos I felt that I had to have some Hot Wheels in my studio. Got some at one of those indoor non-stop garage sale places, no sign of any real Red Lines though.
Last Christmas I got a twin mill originally from 1969 it was never even touched it was shiny and it looked brand new and it was 50 years old! It is black with red flames!
I think this turned out great! I Enjoy your style of restoration, where you try to keep as much of it as original as possible, using the old parts and keeping minor imperfections, where a lot of restoration channels replace a lot of the older bits (looking at you, knife restoration videos). Keep up the great work!
Excellent restoration. I think you made the right choice in this case to replace the engines, I agree the chrome paint pen fell short. I am curious though, had you wanted to restore the old engines, I would have been interested to see how would you have done it? Thanks for another great project!
The paint came out very nice but I think there has to be a slight difference in the engines as the pipes on the newer ones have a tendency to stick out on the sides. It could be a micrometer level difference in the lower body or engine, but it's still there somewhat if you'll agree. Thanks for the work, it's always great!
Great job! As others have said, I think the side pipes could be softened and bent inward against the body since the original pipes laid flatter than the new ones. How do you decide which bits you keep the “truth” versus which it’s okay to fudge? Seems almost contradictory, so I would love to hear the decision process.
I love that car. Would priming and painting the original engines have been too much of a problem? I expect the paint might build up in the crevices, so it would require a number of light coats.
Getting a realistic chrome paint effect would be the issue here. Also, some of the surfaces on the original engines had worn away and become rough. That would show up as well.
to be honest i have always been wondering if it was posible to use modern hot wheels parts on vintage redlines like the custom camaro or 55 nomad.Awesome video and love the color.
Cameras use UV reflection to focus. The UV can be detected by the camera, and it alters the received frequency of some colours. Tiffin make a "Hot mirror" filter than can help. An easy way to see this effect is to point a remote control from a TV at the lens and watch the signal pulse come out of the UV LED on the front of the remote. Love the videos btw.
Great job! Those modern reproductions seem like a great source of replacement parts, I've seen several other restorers on youtube use the windows and other parts from new cars to restore their classics from the 60's and 70's.
I rotate the processes in and out to keep things interesting... so after not seeing "the bath" for awhile I will show it again in future videos. If I put everything in every video the format would stagnate over a few videos.
While you mostly do "concourse" restorations intentionally, it is occasionally nice to see this "retromod" style with the flashing removal, polishing, fancy engines, etc.
Yet another great restoration, baremetal! You had me a little worried as I hadn't seen or heard from you for over a week. Good to see you're still well and keep up the good work!
This is really nice. Say, do you ever ink wash your paint jobs? I mean, your custom ones, not your restorations, to make shadows really pop and have depth.
Great advice and superb work.... I have a modern red (recolour of the blue "Engine Donor") & wondering how I go about finding those retro redlines? Could I be better off just finding some ordinary 5spokes and making "fake" "redline homage" wheels, while doing a metallic respray?
M8 restoring and refurbishing are not counterfeiting. You are not a 3rd party with no license. You are an independent repair and as long as you state this IS a restored product then you just did maintenance. Otherwise I still love your work.

Engine swap was a good idea, but I noticed the exhaust pipes stick out more, opposed to the originals where they seemed flush to the groove in the base.
Turned out great. The engine swap was a great idea. It looks a lot better.
It's not completely a restoration though, but It's ok
@@blenderbachcgi I'm ok with it. It looked good
Its more of a Renovation or Update
@@blenderbachcgi boy it's a full restore he had to use cuz would you want something that look brand new

Not a bad idea!! I will look into doing that!
that would be awesome!
@@baremetalHW Can u send a link or email for a car restoration
This is the one we’ve been waiting for! Twin Mill is the best HW of all time.
Phil Meeks It is honestly such an iconic car! I also love the splittin’ image as I feel they are similar in spirit!
The Twin Mill is the only staple of the franchise
I agree, every time you see it you know what it is, if you’re into hotwheels

You are the best Hot Wheels restorer! Since you began, a bunch of other people are doing it, but you are still the best! 👍
Can you airbrush the tail lights on these old cars? I think this would have them painted in. Great looking though
Very nice car restoration. To replays the old Engines with the the newer was a good choise.
I am a big fan of the Twin Mill ever since Forza Horizon 3. I have 2 cars: An original one in Black with Red flames and the modern 50th Anniversary.
I have those same two! The black with red flames was a 2009 release though. The 1969 date on the bottom is a copyright. There should be an alpha numeric code though, A being 2008, B is 2009, etc., and the number being the week in the year.

Looks great, also liked it with the blue base

Love it. Chemistry and History and restoration lesson all in one video. Brilliant job.
Normally I do not like these Kind of cars. But what you did is amazing. Now this car looks quite cool
Wow, neat, my favourite hot wheels car. That car could fly underwater and above and go into space.
As usual, well done ! Updating the car with new engines was definitely the best way to go ! 🍻
I like this restoration, but the color of the car. The original red was much more beautiful. Thanks for sharing...
Looks stunning! the new engines were a good idea! nice to see that the modern parts are so similar to the originals
I think it looks great and with it restored it preserves a little bit of Hot Wheels history.
I HAVE THAT SAME CAR I'VE HAD SINCE I WAS YOUNG,ONE IS RED AND THE OTHER IS GOLD.
Superb result and innovative use of modern components to fix the original car. Nice job!
Nice to see a legend get restored
Looks great! Really takes me back to my childhood. Thanks!
I must admit....I liked when you had the old body on new base. But I like the blue and purple together.
lol... I really liked it too...
It was really interesting to see how precise the two lined up too!
At last! A classic Red Line restoration video! Great and hypnotic as always. From watching virtually all your videos I felt that I had to have some Hot Wheels in my studio. Got some at one of those indoor non-stop garage sale places, no sign of any real Red Lines though.
Great job. The updated motor looks more detailed. I like it.
Another great restoration. I remember my Twin Mill it was green.
Good call on swapping the engines. The rose finish is beautiful 😎👍🏽 good work as usual.
Very nice restoration and that motor looks very good in there
Came out great!! The new engines work perfectly!! 😀
WOW! Great job. Hot wheels made a real life twin mill. The show Gas Monkey Garage went to see it at Hot Wheel headquarters.
that rose color looked good when you were test fitting the body onto the blue one . still came out great
The twin mill is one of my favorite cars to collect
Last Christmas I got a twin mill originally from 1969 it was never even touched it was shiny and it looked brand new and it was 50 years old! It is black with red flames!

One of the best cars from my childhood. I had one antifreeze colored.
Awesome mate, gotta love those twin mills. Looks fantastic. There's cool images of a rl life one online.

AWWW SNAP TIME FOR SOME SANDING!

I have a hotwheels car like this one and i was going to upgrade it but i had no idea how to thanks for the idea!! :)

rose on blue looks pretty cool. i suggest trying it on your custom die-cast to see what you think.
Amazing work dude. Great job 👍
Now this is a proper engine swap! I like that two-tone hybrid 😁. Classic Hot Wheels car
Cool car. Had one in about 1970. I was 11 yrs old.
The Twin Mill looks brilliant dude, magnificent job with the engines bro I love it.
Heyy! Missed your videos. I don’t even own any toy cars, I just love your passion and skill hahah 😊
The final product looks rad as well!
Amazing video and restoration. The Twin Mill its my favorite original design. Keep up the good work!

He ain’t have to go this hard though 🔥
