UA-cam...you've done it again...Im now interested in vitage matchbox car restoration and shall proceed to watch everything associated to it 😂😂😂
Same my dude, same
The system knows us now.
Dun dun Dunn.
lol so true
I know right it's always the most random shit that they show me and then I'm hooked curse you youTube *shakes fist*
Rejoice, my brothers and sisters, for we have obtained another member of the Matchbox restoration cult, I mean club.
2AM Algorithm stuff.
Subbed...
... And until today, i had no idea Hot Wheels had such a wide restoration/customization community.
Me neither but I’m not mad at it. I’m actually considering looking for my old hot wheels. Lol
Me neither but i'm not surprised in the least.
Volvirth weird, its a bit after 2am right now lol
Normal Person: goes to sleep at a decent hour
Me: *_Hot Wheels Restoration at 2am_*
You're not alone, brother 😂👌🍺
Been there, done that..
💀💀💀💀😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀💀as i read this comment i started dying
2:22am
3:15 a.m.
Dear Sir:
Please let this model bask in the purple glory and resist the temptation to add decals. It looks better than the original in this condition, and your expertise in painting is shown off with this example. This is a classy restoration.
72Yonatan agreed my Jewish brother haha
I dont know how I got here, but I'm throughly enjoying it.
Nigga u got here cuz it's fucking UA-cam God damn
i was watching a show about hot wings and this was next
Same
Yeah same it's so strange
Thoroughly*
Does this guy know the guy who fixed Woody?
XdStevie underrated comment lol
he is the one that fixed woody
Legend has it this was the man who trained him.
"Is the specimen ready for cleaning?"
They play chess in the park from time to time
i honestly wish i had a random ass hobby like this instead of watching yt videos all day
Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Fuck, Me too budz.
Check out card stock airplane models. I love the hobby.
Why don't you start doing this?
@@bdroie I imagine most people don't know where to start.
@@alternativered2568 I want to do this but I don't have the money or supplies, so I guess
I bet the person that painted the car as a kid never thought that over a million people would see his artwork.
Probaby never even crossed his mind.
Cool thought
If he'd have known maybe he'd have done a better job.
GOOOOO KRAKEN
Don't cover that paint with any decals, it looks great as is.
This. Decals will ruin it imo.
@@ZiddersRooFurry agreed
@@ZiddersRooFurry , some versions of this vehicle had them from the factory, depending on when, as well as where, they were made.
@@paxhumana2015 Right but it just looks more awesome without them.
Agreed
Oh my, that paint job looks amazing!
It was pretty amazing the way it came in!
Looks dumb asf
"no collour at all" he says as he displays the orange collour from underneath the wheels
Thought the same
He also says that the wheel walls are white, but the strip round the wheels sure look yellow to me.
It may have been a previous repaint but I saw the orange wheel wells too...remember the grill was orange too, but originally the grill may have been black while the car original color was red. Its hard to tell because he doesnt focus a lot of time on when hes stripping the paint off it.
I had an orange one when I was a kid. Someone painted it red first.
When you took I apart to see the original paint color, there was a tiny bit of red showing underneath.
MyDog'sNose HAIRS it’s not red, How do you guys not see that it was orange
I have a car like this its red
Unreal lads, UA-cam’s recommended algorithm has done it again. A 2AM Godsend
no shit mate! its doing something right :')
E aí
I searched for this has I found a 1967 camero hot wheel that was pretty beat up i wish this was my recommendation
I'm not interested in die-cast miniature cars, or restoration in any form. But your video's are so enjoyable to watch and your narration so clear I've found myself watching! No idea how I got here, but I'm glad. +1 sub.
fuck your avatar. First time I fell for one of these.
Lol same
I hate your profile pic
Ultra Vires is your pic just a line
Everybody undermines the restoration school
My grandfather turned me on to Hot Wheels when I was very young. Not the playing with them part, but the collecting them. He had a passion for all things car like no one I've ever known since. I'm 44 years old now & at last count I had just over 6ooo Hot Wheels still in their original packaging and roughly 2ooo open cars that I've collected over the past 3o years. I only collect the realistic models, and until the past 5 or 6 years even avoided cars with decals and whatnot. My son, who's 1o, is now finding the same love in the hobby as I did at around his age, & it makes me feel that much closer to my beloved and long passed 'Papa'. When he died, my grandma gave me what is now my most prized possession- the 133 of my Papa's Hot Wheels I grew up playing with. It's truly awesome to see there's people out there that breathe new life into these broken, battered, & abused cars I've seen so many times before & thought there was no hope left for. You do amazing work, & I hope you keep it up, because you've got an instant fanboy here!
What a gorgeous car!!!
Thanks for all the tips on prepping and finishing. They are invaluable.
Awesome paint job. Car couldn't look better.
God that's a beautiful color. Amazing job as usual!
Thank god for people like you .Helping keep alive childhood toys.
I don't know why i'm here, but i'm pretty sure this is my new favourite type of video
Fwiw, I enjoy watching you to the same tasks over and over again (like sanding the body). I find it relaxing rather than redundant.
Nice Restoration And Customization of this Corvette, Have MANY Cars at home myself and hope to restore them when needed, Old Lesneys are the best, Love the channel♥️
I love your channel. Sometimes your voice makes me fall asleep, and it's so entertaining to see you clean these little cars up.
In tool restoration, the importance of an ultrasonic machine can’t be overstated! I use all types of strange things for solvent, from IPA alcohol, mineral oil, brake fluid like you used in this video, all types of parts cleaners and homemade acids and things… Always trying to find something that will attack the unwanted layer while leaving everything else alone…
And the agitation given by the ultrasonic cleaner will help it work under everything and loosen it. Even if it doesn’t dissolve the outer layer, something like a cooking oil or mineral oil can find voids, and work under the outer layer that wasn’t baked on or prepared properly. While leaving properly baked and prepared finishes in tact.
Love your channel.
I collect the muscle cars category.
I also love and care for all my Hot Wheels as if they were small gems.
Greetings from Spain🙋
El Gatete WOU-Face! Shut the fuck up nigga
@@chrisredfield8943 can you show me your N word pass sir?
@@chrisredfield8943 Who pissed in your cereal?
@Mr Toonies I had like 100 lol they were fun
@Mr Toonies I had alot of family and stuff and i was sorta spoiled a bit when I was young
If I bring you a real corvette can you make it look that good? 😂
Bring your vette to me.
Yes, he will have the kid that did the original paint job work on your corvette.
shawbros no thanks lol years ago I painted my VW beetle with a paintbrush lol it wasn’t good.
*dunks it in brake fluid*
uh oh
1979 Corvette glossy black with a V8 brand new
This is a fantastic restoration on this Corvette Stingray, also I appreciate your detailed explanation on how to do the restoration from start to finish!
I’m constantly impressed by how knowledgeable these videos are.
Another great job. It looks amazing. The before and after shows a HUGE DIFFERENCE.
I wonder if that color changing paint would look cool applied straight to polished metal?
Not as good probably. Almost all of these colorchanging paints use gloss black as an undercoat. Trust me on this that the developers of such paints have done more than enough tests with them to be able to say how it works best .
hmm, may not stick... don't know. However I don't think the effect will work as well if it does stick. You could simply paint it over silver paint to get nearly the same effect, whatever that might be. it is basically a "candy" topcoat, so the base paint is going to effect it a lot. I've actually wanted to see the spectra flame paint applied over a car body that is black on the front, then the black fades all the way to white as it goes back, with no definite fade lines. Should make it look like it's going fast standing still.
@@tootall5559 cool idea
All color shifting paint needs a black base coat, so just spraying this awesome type of paint would be a waste of your time if done on a bare metal or polished casting. I prefer gloss so it would stand out a lot more, but I use spray cans that I got from Amazon, just look up spray paint. Hope this helps as well.
I've played with the color changing paints before and the lighter the base color the less apparent the change is. It's very subtle and looks good.
I'm so glad I found your channel. It gave me the motivation to go through my collection of model cars,which were lying in a vanity bag for a while already and have been tossed out of the soft socks and beanies they were in twice already by my brother's kid when I was on holiday. Now I've arranged them on the top shelf of my bookshelf so they don't scratch and chip anymore. Some cars have had seen better days but they won't get worse now. So thank you.
OMG I love the result!
Hey again
@@ZygardeCruiser hey ✌🏿
Me too, what an perfect way to relax on an nice peaceful Saturday evening.
This is so cool! Hot wheels were a large part of my childhood, I have literal hundreds. Years ago I once counted and I remember it was somewhere around 300-400. This makes me want to go back to the days where I'd play with them all day. This is surprisingly nostalgic
Omg! I think every kid born 1970 or later had this Hot Wheels Vette. I had 3. Painted all but 1. Wow, memories!
Loved the video , the restore , the guys voice and attention to detail throughout the process. Lovedddddddddd it. Very relaxing .
I wish I could get ahold of all my old Hot Wheels. I really loved them as a kid and had quite a collection. My mom claims to still have them somewhere. What a walk down memory lane it would be to actually see them again. Hopefully, she has them.
I need your videos to relax. It’s amazing what you do. Thanks. I really meant it.
Agreed, it is like ASMR haha
@@Jacensbattlegrounds Asmr but not erotic or role playing.
The wheel/tire change really added good detail to it. The paint is beautiful. Nice resto!
Was from Hong Kong and randomly stumbled on this video, had absolutely no idea that we had produced hot wheels at all
Thanks for letting me know my country's history
great job btw, think i'm gonna subscribe
Hot Wheels were produced in Hong Kong from 1968 to 1982, when they moved to Malaysia. Today they are made in Thailand.
Another great restoration! The color changing paint looks sweet!
Thank you youtube for introducing me to a new hobby I never knew existed
It is pretty awesome, always fun watches =)
You never knew that people liked to restore old things like toys?c'mon dude you knew this kind of thing existed.
Looks amazing! I love the little diorama at the end!
Absolutely wonderful!! Never did I expect to see my love for Hot Wheels mashed up with my love for vintage car restoration 💖💖💖 and on my favorite car, the Stingray, to boot!
ikr? i can finally indulge in my restoration urge without going homeless lol
The paint is spectacular. Good Job!
Knee high to a snakes belly is starting to have it's perks. That candy purple kicks.
3am... youtube offers the best videos in the early hours
Fr tho chief
Truth
same hours for me 3am is the devils hour lmao
Who knew I would absolutely love this so much ! Obscure hobbies rock !
Dude, i hace no idea how I ended up watching your video, but it worth it. You're an artist Sir.
Sweet paint Sir. Incredible job !
It was incredibly satisfying seeing that old smudgy paint come off
Epic restoration, superb result with the paint job!
Thanks to the recommendation tab. I actually sat through the whole video and enjoyed it!
Master as usual this is a nice Car, the paint is beautiful, thank for share, regards Jim
Awesome, I have corvette stingray 2002 in perfect condition. I bought it in used store in closed box
Your videos, as well as the results of your restorations, are exceptional!
Please make more!
Beautiful Restoration!! Love the New Wheels!!
You've been my ASMR sleepy time videos for a while, keep it up!
The transformation is amazing! I'm not a big fan of the new wheels but I am a big fan of the new paint. I thought it would be a restoration as was stated in the title. I love the videos. Keep up the good work. Thank you.
I'm stunned at the attention to detail. Subbed
I REALLY liked watching restorations/ custom channels!
Amazing like always master! Keep it up! Grettings from México 🇲🇽.
Getting new car was like a holiday back in those days.
Well done UA-cam, well done
Wow, this makes me want to dig out my old hot wheels collection! I had a green shimmer corvette similar to this one 💚
It's so wild how good the car looks in the end. Stellar paint job!
Your Skill Level Is Astonishing!!!👍👍
I Love the Paint!
I wish I had it on my Harley😁👍
Gene Kelley ...Of all the Matchbox and Hot Wheels restorers on the scene on YT of late, BareMetal is still the king in my book re: skill level, knowledge and workmanship.
That paint is very nice!
Simply beautiful beautiful work !!!
Super super job nice .
Deep purple corvette stingray
Mad cool this corvette,flawless job dude!👍
Never knew this was a thing, but I'm into Gundam models so I subbed!
Yeah I actually remember having this bad boy was one of my favourite cars.
I have lots of these old hot wheels and matchbox diecast cars and trucks. My son has them all now, some are in need of restoration, some are completely original. Great video.
Amazing transformation, very skillful and addictive to watch. Thanks for sharing
*Title has "restoring" on it*
UA-cam algorithm: 🤤
Fuck the youtube algorithm i was a subscriber and im into this type of hobby. Restorating and customizing toy cars
Cool
The color changing paint really made it pop, love it!
Really great result. Loved watching.
This car reminds me of the Knight Rider car,good job man!
The knight rider car is not a corvette
Its a pontiac
The Knight Rider car's name was KITT, and was a Pontiac Trans Am... To be exact...
@@therayven3147 ye
@@therayven3147 I know,but thx
@@idontknowwhattoputasmyuser1231yeah... I've been a die-hard Knight Rider fan since I was a kid in the '80s...
I'm guessing orange after watching the first couple of minutes.
That's a amazing transformation. Great work.
This is an art form. Loved the video. 👏👏
It is 4:03AM; someone please send help, I can't stop.
I feel you. Can currently relate.
I wish you could have kept the blue and white color scheme. The kid who painted that was on to something. Corvettes always look better to me in brighter colors because they're so fast. But nice custom as always.
Wow! That car has BEEN painted SEVERAL times! Good work!
Great work. I love the paint. It looks amazing.
I happen to have a purple 1968 splittin image that needs a new home. The car belonged to my dad when he was little and he gave it to me a couple years ago.
Why would you want to give away something somewhat valuable that your father gave you? Keep it. You _are_ its new home.
I just have one thing to say, I think I might have that same car, but in almost near perfect, or, close to original tact, "intactness".
me too. but mine's in white, otherwise everything is identical to the car in the video.
UA-cam has been suggesting this to me for a week now. Finally watched it. Not disappointed.
WOW all your prep work really paid off! Looks fantastic!
Wow that looks great!
And it’s either a ‘75 or ‘76
It says on the bottom that's its a '75
@@robotwars123wiki Yes, that's obvious. But the details of that body makes it either a 75 or 76. And that just confirms it.
Jesus. That was messed up at first
Great preparation, love the paint job
WOW! You did an amazing job, and that paint is awesome!
The body style of that particular Corvette is that of a '74-'77, as it has no chrome rear bumper (last year in '73,) nor a bubbled rear window (first year in '78.)
(bottom of car says '75, which may imply the model year)
(bottom of car says '75, which may imply the model year) I totally agree with you there and as you say the bubble rear window was first introduced in 78 ..I used to own a real 78 vette with the bubble window and now own a 77 vette with the flat rear window its pearl yellow but i think it would look cool in this colour
Very nice. Have you looked into using fine powder baking soda to insta-cure and reinforce the superglue. Thank you for the post
Mahhty approves this message
I love your work. Great tips too.
I love watching these videos! After a hard day of work I have made this channel a habit, and have found no better way to spend my afternoons then sitting down in a comfy chair with a cool beverage and binge watching your videos.
That small speck of dust on the hood driver side was driving me nuts.
That image will be engraved into our memories forever...
From what I've heard car paint booths are wet down before being used for the same reason
I really enjoy your restorations. I have hundreds of Hot Wheels from when I was a kid. Wish I had the time to restore some of my favorites.
Thank you for painting this Stingray my favorite color PURPLE!!!
AWESOME JOB 👍😙😍
