Without a doubt: this is the best channel on UA-cam. Never a video "for the views", always honost , even the flaws ( not fails ) are shown. You set the benchmark. Every video is a jewel to watch. I wonder why you didn't get the diamond UA-cam button already. Ffing well deserved! Best wishes for this year, hope to enjoy your channel for a long time. Greetings and a bow from the Netherlands.
Very cool change of pace video. I'm hoping you do more custom work like this (even if it is to imitate another car), as much as I love your restorations. You have a lot more skills than just basic strip-paint-finish, and you're a great channel to learn from.
Wow, that is epic!! Love the colour and the decals! Looks just like the Candy Striper.. really cool, and a nice and relatively cheap way to get an exclusive car. I'd really like to see another video like this.
wow who pays more than 900$ for a small toy car? the most expensive 1:18 model i have was around 500$ and it was a special edition only 300 made. Besides that, great work as always =)
I love this casting and you made it better. I am glad to see another video where you sand and improve the casting. Also great work on the finish polish instead of sanding the zinc. Awesome improvement. I noticed the sanding marks on the last green car so this was a nice change that taught me alot. Awesome work, awesome channel. Thank you!
Custom wheels and perhaps htf replacement parts sound like some great possibilities. Would also like to see another go at this car, if & when you're up for one. Nothing wrong with having a unique take on an existing exclusive, but it's also satisfying to know that your skills have developed enough that you can nail the exact look you're after.
Dude! You live on a plain far from my capabilities. Of course we would all love to see your second attempt. I cannot believe people are spending almost a grand for a hot wheels on ebay! There is not one die cast car anywhere that I think merits that outrageous price. Collectible or not. I love your painting & buffing stuff though. Masterful.
If you do this again there's a great video by Jomotor49 on youtube where he pulls a real one off a card. A few things I noticed, the interior on it should still be the chrome, only the seats were painted. And the center of the seats were pink. Also the top of the radiator looks to be painted silver. The tail lights and turn signals are also outlined in silver
Man, you just keep raising the bar! What an awesome job! Are you familiar with "Micro Mark" hobby supplies - "small tool specialists"? They have 'Mission Model's' new two part chrome paint system that looks pretty damned close to real chrome as I've ever seen. Have you heard of this product? They also have a chrome plating kit. Link - www.micromark.com/search?keywords=mission%20mark%20chrome I remember you sprayed a car with a chrome finish a while back, but couldn't remember what product you used. Then I got the Micro Mark catalog today and found the Mission Model chrome products and thought I'd mention it. And, Micro Mark is the very best one stop shop for all hobbies. I'm not aware of any other resource with the variety of products and volume of stock these guys have. Some of their stuff is pricey for sure, but if you need something you'll most likely find it there. Awesome job, you've inspired me to give one a go! It's invaluable having you work out all the kinks, and give tips so I don't have to!! I agree with multiple other subs here, you're channel is by far, hands down the very best, most comprehensive and educational die cast resto/customization channel out there. Thanks so much, I really appreciate all your awesome work and tips. You've saved a LOT of resto/customizers a TON of work/trial and error and money! Jack - Canada
Hey Jack! Thanks for the comment. I will check out the chrome kit. I buy from Micro Mart all the time... you are correct it is a great one stop shop... though a bit $$$
another great video - take your time, quality is amazing and so while I appreciate the frequency, the completeness and wonderful smooth editing is worth the time.
Having done your research into the Candy Striper, can you tell me if they were made in Thailand as well as Malaysia or just Malaysia? I have one that matches the original, but was made in Thailand. I am a member of HobbyDB and my Candy Striper's authenticity has come into question. I'd like to verify it either way. I bought it used on Facebook and it had no packaging. Please help.
Wow! The decals result, shows just how steady your hands are, and how GREAT your restoration/customization talent is 😃 I just had to come back , and re-watch some of your old videos. We finally found a rancher style home, and we moved into it, this June(2022). It has a workshop, in the basement!!! As soon, as I finish unpacking and setting it up, I plan to restore and customize diecast vehicles, with our 11yr old daughter. She's super excited, too 🙂
Love watching your videos, I've learned a lot, but just wondering why you didn't use the "lock pick" technique that you used in: Quick Tip: How to apply silver trim to a Hot Wheels custom, ua-cam.com/video/r9fFzg2uZAQ/v-deo.html ? Great tip, by the way. Thanks.
Superb job, as usual. I was about to say that, if you don't know what to do with the 2nd gasser, you can make a Blasphemi replica: ua-cam.com/video/ls04sDCJ5x8/v-deo.html Turns out another hotwheels afficionado on UA-cam got this idea (WheelsNThangs)
Hey @baremetalHW I just found a bucket full of my old dinky cars from the 60's, 70's and 80's. Any idea where I can find out if they're worth selling, or if you'd be interested in any of them? I'm making a list now.
What do you use for a displaying cars? trying to find something. Great work bye the way love the honesty, pragmatism as well as the undoubted skill.wishing you all the best for 2019.
Very nice attempt at the "Striper" clone. Here are a few details of the real striper. I urge you to do another. With your skills it would be spectacular! I don't believe the paint is a pearl pink. It appears to be a spectra-flame pink to me. The "Hoosier" real riders on the rear have been used by Mattel in the 2018 Drag Strip Car Culture set (specifically the Comet Cyclone Gasser). The RLC Candy Striper has a silver roof, a,b,c pillars with silver trimming the base of all the glass, the roof is either white/neon-pink tampos or white/ neon red-orange tampos. The interior is chrome with white seats and neon red-orange inserts & blue glass. Radiator is flat black with a silver top, grill is also flat black. The base is metal polished chrome from Malaysia. G-codes for lower release numbers & H-codes for higher release numbers. It appears their were several different runs as the G-Codes have the more pink roof stripes & the H-Codes have the more orange roof stripes.
Very kickass. Increasing your skill level, a resin 3D printer? Your cars are gonna start looking insane. Very kickass indeed. Awesome video, thank you always for sharing.
Excellent work as usual. Definitely a yes vote for the second video on this car. Always a pleasure, can’t wait for the next video. Keep up the excellent work.
Could you do custom cars other then the mad Max stuff you do. I love the step by step you go through, but I'm curious on if customizers could actually make some the hot wheels and mbx brand vehicles more realistic especially like construction strucks.
Thank you bro for making that video that car came out badass and you don't need it to look just like Hot Wheels your car is one of a kind which makes it more special screw Red Line $35 for Hot Wheel
The original also had a blue mold of windows instead of the smokey clear molding you got from the other casting. Nice job still! A fake worthy of a spot in anyone's collection!
The hot pink spectraflame from the redline shop actually says not to use the hardener with it. Just for future paint jobs. I do believe this is the reason for your paint mishap. I also had similar problems on my first attempt with hot pink. Although, it has worked well with hardener. Just a thought. I appreciate your videos, and you make the best on youtube in my opinion. Also the reason i restore, and customize my own.
I like to see all the steps, such as stripping etc. I understand that it adds to the video, but I don't mind a longer video. I enjoy watching you work. Keep up the good work!
great job! awesome paint,..just wondered why wouldn't you just airbrush in the white area between the stripes and side glass?...no need to do the whole car over...
Have you ever thought of replicating 'blasphemi' as driven by Finnegan in roadkill and his own videos. As his car is a 55 Chevy with a hemmi engine with a blower on it. And I noticed that one of the cars had a green roof similar to Finnegans.
Looks fantastic! I would definitely dig seeing you do the next version with the white roof. Not sure why I missed the Candy Striper at the time but I did and I remember it being like a hundred bucks and thinking "that's way too much" well I wish I had jumped on one as I am sure many of us do. Your video makes me wish I was even half as talented as you are with an airbrush and well your whole process of zinc plating etc. Just awesome! Thanks for sharing!
That's a pretty cool result. I have a candy striper and the RLC cars are over chrome and I think they use a special pink for the paint that doesn't give off the pink/salmon sheen but the original redline factory, rather a mirror finish. Yours is a fine piece nonetheless.
Since you strip the paint to expose the base metal, have you ever tried Lab Metal to fill in casting pits? It sands great even with 600 and 800 grit sandpaper.
Hi, I want to get in touch, cause i would love to send few 68 to 83 hotwheels, there are only 7, its been a while since i got them but i have no time to restore them, I hope you can do something for them and ad them to your collection or find someone for them. I will cover the shipping. I think you are the rigth guy for them, your channel is awesome and you keep us driving crazy for this little guys.
Remember that truck you used for the video showing how to make wooden truck beds? Well I was thinking that you should add a rear window to the back of the cab of that truck. Thanks
Man, you do amazing work... if you ever want a neat vehicle to work on, I have an old Vetted Van somewhere as well as an older Fire Eater that would certainly be a good Mad Max custom.
This is the best 55 Chevy I've seen. The details are much better than original from Mattel. Every time I watch a video I see something better than the last one. Great Job!!
Every mainline I've found of that 5 pack gasser is bent across the front. Looks like yours is too. The premium line is different in the front and isnt bent.
This has a lot of detail, I like it a lot. I think it would've been neat to make the handles chrome with the pen and maybe even color the dash or steering wheel, as long as it wasn't 100% original that would've made it just a little more wow than the original. Regardless though, it looks really good, loved the video.
Great video but for the fist 80 seconds there is some white noise in the background. I would greatly appreciate it if you could fix issues like that in post the next time :)
you can get a 55 chev gasser that comes with the wheels that have writing on them but you would have to swap tires on the rear, its the TRI-Me gasser, Its the car culture 1/5, and I also dont know if you can change the tires around! hope this is some help!
Looks good. One thing I noticed is that the paint seems to have a slight colour change effect where it looks orange from certain angles. I don't think the original model had that paint effect. But great effort nonetheless, especially the decal work. You have steadier hands than I.
hell yeah man, put all your work on here, especially any screw ups!! and cant wait to see you incorporate the new toys! also was it just the lighting/cam or was there some "flop" in that paint - seemed a bit reddish/orange when spinning
I really like what you did. It's not an impostor, and the quality of the finish is great. Is it just me, or is there a subtle tangerine undertone in the paint? Love the result. Thanks for sharing this.
Nice first attempt. The only thing off was the roof of the car. The original has a white roof with pink stripe decals (from what I can see on the art case). If you ever do a second attempt, make the roof white and add a pink decal. Other than that, you made a pretty spot on paint job.
I've never heard of or have seen these until I started watching you. Was the 55 Bel Air the only casting that was done,(as far as the gassers go) or were there others? I really don't know, I'd love to learn.

hear, hear
Dilly, dilly!
Agreed. Diecast Resurrection is on par. Both of these guys are smart, witty and good at what they do.
Check my videos and my restorations, hehehehe
Great comment, so true
You need to make this a series Baremetal. Recreating RLC cars out of Mainlines
Speedy YES
Yes but most rlc castings are unique and not based on mainline castings therefore impossible to re-create using mainlines..
I’d love to see a second more accurate reproduction, I vote yes on a second video!
Agree
Yes he should do another one that’s a great car to the different designs on
Looks great even if it's not exact to the RLC release. 😀
Very cool change of pace video. I'm hoping you do more custom work like this (even if it is to imitate another car), as much as I love your restorations. You have a lot more skills than just basic strip-paint-finish, and you're a great channel to learn from.
I really enjoyed this video. Very nice work 👍🏼 The car came out great even if it wasn’t perfect. 10/10
Hi I never thought I would see you in one of these videos
@@AudioWizard98 same bro
@@kohlgray2298 same i didnt realize he liked hot wheels
This is easily my favorite UA-cam channel right now. I learn so much in every video about something I never knew I was interested in
I vote yes! You should try making it into a series. Pretty excited with your new equipments too! Will wait for the next bell!
Wow, that is epic!! Love the colour and the decals! Looks just like the Candy Striper.. really cool, and a nice and relatively cheap way to get an exclusive car. I'd really like to see another video like this.
Again great work , cool car , cool video . Mike Espo...
I dont collect cars but I really enjoy your videos. Great work.
wow who pays more than 900$ for a small toy car? the most expensive 1:18 model i have was around 500$ and it was a special edition only 300 made. Besides that, great work as always =)
for no other reason than "it's limited"
I love this casting and you made it better. I am glad to see another video where you sand and improve the casting. Also great work on the finish polish instead of sanding the zinc. Awesome improvement. I noticed the sanding marks on the last green car so this was a nice change that taught me alot. Awesome work, awesome channel. Thank you!
This is some of your finest work so far. The quality on this looks nearly spot on from the actual Candy Striper. Extremely well done work.
Custom wheels and perhaps htf replacement parts sound like some great possibilities. Would also like to see another go at this car, if & when you're up for one. Nothing wrong with having a unique take on an existing exclusive, but it's also satisfying to know that your skills have developed enough that you can nail the exact look you're after.
I'd definitely like to see a 2nd video on this.
Great job. As always, thanks for sharing. Looking forward to future videos.
THANK YOU!! Love the time and hard work you put in. May your passion lead you to glory. Thank you again!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm excited to see what the 3D printer will allow you to do especially on some of the custom cars you make like MadMax and such.
With the moulds, they probably don't use different modes. They probably sort the best casting out in the quality control.
Dude! You live on a plain far from my capabilities. Of course we would all love to see your second attempt. I cannot believe people are spending almost a grand for a hot wheels on ebay! There is not one die cast car anywhere that I think merits that outrageous price. Collectible or not. I love your painting & buffing stuff though. Masterful.
You should Make blasphemi from roadkill
I can't remember correctly but I think WheelsNThangs actually made that
Or the one from hoonigans
Or the one from hoonigan
I was about to suggest the same thing. Though I associate it more with Finnegan then Roadkill these days (RIP).
NEEDbacon it was fun whilst it lasted, and I would pay if there site actually worked out side of the USA
That was a fun video and a departure from your standard board of fare. I like it. A nice addition to your videos....

God dang I thought you got the real deal in the thumbnail! Just goes to show how good you are!
Astonishing work! This is a great way to reproduce a very sought after car for much cheaper.
Yeah man give it another shot! Thanks for the video
Looks super nice. I feel like the inverted color stripes give it a uniqueness.
awesomeness!
yea, can't wait for more videos
thanks Dude
Try it again if that's what you want to do. Guaranteed we will enjoy watching. Thanks for another great video.
Great stuff. I vote for a second video. And a Happy New Year to you.
Yes! You got a resin 3D printer to print wheels! Can’t wait to see that! Love your videos-always learn something new from you 😎👍🏻

That pink is incredible. I don't mind if you ever repeat things you've already done in these videos, I just enjoy watching the process
HAve you ever thought about using Bare-Metal Foil for the chrome around the widows? You can clear-coat over it.
The original also had a blue mold of windows instead of the smokey clear molding you got from the other casting. Nice job still! A fake worthy of a spot in anyone's collection!

How can you tell which ones have a metal base? I'm buying on ebay so it's hard to tell. On another note, when do the RLC memberships come available?

Please redo the striper with your improved airbrushing skills. Would love to see that. Thanks for all that you do
Awesome paint job, but my ocd triggers everytime I see old paint residues on the inside 😂😂😂
That’s has no value because EVERYTHING is wrong
Looks good :) but why don't you paintstrip the inside? Ya, you cant see it once it's put together but it definitly give you a better feel!
I've never heard of or have seen these until I started watching you. Was the 55 Bel Air the only casting that was done,(as far as the gassers go) or were there others? I really don't know, I'd love to learn.
Congratulations! You did a great job. I admire the way you do these things. Great solutions.
