  • In this video I will lift a Datsun 620 and give it a "working" suspension. This is a very simple way to lift your Hot Wheels or Matchbox car with simple items you probably have in your home right now.

      Trucks with the front jacked up and the bed low looks stupid no matter what state you're in. Trust me every time we see one we all laugh and make fun of it. But I guess some people can only afford to lift half their truck.

    Thank you for sharing these techniques and tips on lifting 1/64 diecast cars! Great tip on straightening the paperclip wire. It would be neat to see this with the suspension springs and colored covers to make them look real.

    Thank you so much! I just took an old Ford panel van and turn it into a monster truck! I tried using the spring mechanism that you showed in the tutorial, but I was having a really hard time getting into work. It was just too stiff. So instead I took a single paper clip boil it in the center, and then used it as a single spring. It was much softer! Thank you so much again for the video man!

  • @wesleyguseman1468

    For a bit of realism you can cover your drop down wires with ballpoint pen Springs to look like actual suspension Springs. Just subscribed love watching a good Craftsman.

    Hey baremetalHW I've been watching your videos for about 3 weeks now, and I've become quite amazed at what you do, I myself am a younger HW collector, and has recently found a 50 Years Impala tampo error! its crooked! anyways I love your content and have started to custom myself! I also especially love your redline Restorations

    Great job on the geometry and set up of this suspension lift. And something I just noticed because I just learned this week on a trip to the scrap yard, you are displaying your cars on a hard drive disk. .....I grabbed a stack of them because they were shiny. Lol.

  • @justinclark7223

    Great job ...I wonder if a spring from a ball point pen would fit on the upright part of the clip making it look like shocks ?

    • @jorgenlannock
      @jorgenlannock 6 років тому +23

      Justin Clark probably will look a bit oversized on these types of cars. but it is doable in terms of possibility.

    • @stevegardnermax
      @stevegardnermax 6 років тому +11

      I think you could have easily wound some red or blue coated wire around the paperclip to make shocks.

    • @bearsfan2085
      @bearsfan2085 6 років тому +5

      I feel the pen spring idea would work, might have to see which pens have a smaller spring, I’m gonna try this.

    • @AegisTheStoic
      @AegisTheStoic 6 років тому +8

      *Given the size relative to actual coils on a lifted truck, I think pen springs would be a great representation. I would look for those pens companies use to advertise. The cheapest, most mass-produced ones you can find. Nice and thin springs.*

Isn't funny how you can be at a party or with a bunch of friends or even driving and not paying any attention what's so ever, cause your thoughts on how to make it work go thru your mind 😂 Nice work man 😍
