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! 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 🙂
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.
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.
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!!
I don't have a personal interest in doing what you do, but I'm always excited to watch a new video when it comes out. You never dissapoint and your craftsmanship and attention to detail is astonishing! Thanks for the content and keep it up!
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.
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!
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.
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 stumbled on your channel a while back and while I am a collector it’s mostly stuff that interests me from a automotive standpoint and the only one that I may someday try a restoration on is my 1970 Lesney Mini Cooper. I watch your videos as while it’s cool to see the restoration process it’s more of something I watch to relax. Bud, your delivery could put me to sleep and that ain’t a bad thing
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!
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.
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.
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.
Could you make wheels with raised lettering on them in the 3d printer, and then paint the raised letters in white with a brush after to simulate the original wheels?
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!
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.
Absolutely stellar job, one could easily think this is the real 'Candy Striper' (minus the smaller details of course). Thanks for another great video and i'm really curious to see your new 3D-Printer in action!
Hi i got a question regarding electro polishing. So i have been considering using it on a wonderful Red firebird redline i got in my collection theres just one problem. there is very high amounts of oxidation on the body and i was wondering if i electro polished the car would it remove the nickle protecting the car?
Sweeeeeetness. You are a true master. I 2nd the motion that this is the best channel on UA-cam. Looking forward to the second go round on the candy striped.
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...
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.
i found a damaged 1969 heavy chevy in my old toy box. it has no roof, so thats a lot of damage, and i thought that would be a cool custom car to see done. i thought of doing it myself but i figured you would have a much better go of making it look better than i could. best part is its got the sharpie that you love so much on it already . contact me and let me know if you're interested. would love to see it on the channel
Do the second video and compare the two cars to show that there are different ways of making your own candy striper. And I like what you do and keep doing it...
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
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.

Greetings and a bow from the Netherlands.
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
Looks great even if it's not exact to the RLC release. 😀
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
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.
Of all the toy car restorers, you are the most highly skilled. Your simple, gimmick free presentation style is the best. 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.
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

I vote yes! You should try making it into a series. Pretty excited with your new equipments too! Will wait for the next bell!
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
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.

I wish theses videos were longer - I could watch a body be sanded, plated and painted for a good while. It’s like Bob Ross all over again.
I dont collect cars but I really enjoy your videos. Great work.
THANK YOU!! Love the time and hard work you put in. May your passion lead you to glory. Thank you again!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Admirable that you admit you aren't comfortable doing certain skills/techniques. Most men think they know how to do everything.
Nice generalization.
Didn't know these types of cars existed! Super cool to see a model converted to be like it's special release counter part!
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!!
You did a great job, most people could not pick out a custom candy striper over the RLC if it was sitting in a collection of gassers
I'd definitely like to see a 2nd video on this.
I don't have a personal interest in doing what you do, but I'm always excited to watch a new video when it comes out. You never dissapoint and your craftsmanship and attention to detail is astonishing! Thanks for the content and keep it up!

Looks fantastic. Its little differences make it unique too.
Looks super nice. I feel like the inverted color stripes give it a uniqueness.
That requires lots of talent and is very cool with all the details you put on the car
Astonishing work! This is a great way to reproduce a very sought after car for much cheaper.
Congratulations! You did a great job. I admire the way you do these things. Great solutions.
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!
Of course we’d like to see you try again! The more videos, the better! I still think you’re the Bob Ross of this type of content
I think it is cool that it is a little different so it doesn't look like a counterfeit. Great work.
I have a blue 55 and (2)57 Chevys, one red and one with stripped paint. With this gasser you gave me good ideas. Thank you. 👍
Nice job on the candy striper..looking forward to your future works..thanks for sharing.
Can't wait to see what you do in the future, you should definitely come back to this once you feel like you're ready to tackle it again!
Try it again if that's what you want to do. Guaranteed we will enjoy watching. Thanks for another great video.
Again great work , cool car , cool video . Mike Espo...
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.
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 😎👍🏻
Great job. As always, thanks for sharing. Looking forward to future videos.

I watch your videos as while it’s cool to see the restoration process it’s more of something I watch to relax. Bud, your delivery could put me to sleep and that ain’t a bad thing
lol.... A lot of people contact me to say they play my videos to go to sleep at night... Glad I could help.

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.
Awesome video. I love seeing all of your techniques!
It still looks amazing you are extremely talented. I vote yes for a second car make over.
That was a fun video and a departure from your standard board of fare. I like it. A nice addition to your videos....
Car looks great and great video presentation, always look forward to the latest project!!!
the ol' "real job" syndrome. Even though not an exact match, the work you did on this is real nice.
Yes, would definitely like to see you do another!
Will literally watch any video you upload. So yeah sure do it again! It will be a joy to watch even for a second time.
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
Beautiful incredibly hard to tell an authentic one from the custom one
Lovely. I'd watch the redo, definitely
With the moulds, they probably don't use different modes. They probably sort the best casting out in the quality control.
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.
very nice, and thanks for sharing your tips, gives the RLC car more cudos to all the effort you need to go through
Absolutely awesome job on this Gasser 55 Chevy Sir.

God dang I thought you got the real deal in the thumbnail! Just goes to show how good you are!
Quedó muy perfecto 👌 ese Bel Air Gasser Drag 55' 🏁
What an awesome job you did. Seriously, just beautiful!
i, myself would love to see a second, more accurate, attempt. it looks great, regardless of the roof issue.
Awesome job, I think yours looks better than the original.
Man you do great work, ive learned so much off of your vids thank you very much for showing us how you work magic with these cars.
what a beautiful job. yes, more please!
Great stuff. I vote for a second video. And a Happy New Year to you.
Brilliant work! I like to see all your videos regardless of the subject. Thanks for sharing your skills.
No complaints here friend.
I love your work. The car looks amazing.
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.
I always love seeing someone reproduce hard to find figures/collectables so this is a pretty nice vid!
That pink looks insaaaaane! Really cool!
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!
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.

That's pretty awesome. I think this is one of my favorite cars you have done.
Awsume job! i had already planned on trying this build, & am Sure now i've seen yours! thanks!
Try it again, Sam! 😆
I just love watching your work.
Sweeeeeetness. You are a true master. I 2nd the motion that this is the best channel on UA-cam. Looking forward to the second go round on the candy striped.
I don't know why but ur Videos are so relaxing to me
I would be super excited to see a 'remastered' candy striper you mentioned in the video!
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...
Well done, Zack. Cheers from Vancouver BC Canada 🍻
Paint job looks awesome

superb bo55ku.....excellence make over and paint job..it really nice.
Simply,
The most 'perfect' video I have seen on the net today.
Great job sir.
I like it better than the other 20,000 RLCs. And, you got that coveted number 00001! Nice work!
i found a damaged 1969 heavy chevy in my old toy box. it has no roof, so thats a lot of damage, and i thought that would be a cool custom car to see done. i thought of doing it myself but i figured you would have a much better go of making it look better than i could. best part is its got the sharpie that you love so much on it already . contact me and let me know if you're interested. would love to see it on the channel
This is the best tutorial to how make exclusive and special cars for poor peoples
Do the second video and compare the two cars to show that there are different ways of making your own candy striper. And I like what you do and keep doing it...
Will you be able to print your own windshields with the new printer? It would be nice when you can’t source a replacement.
Is there any casting you just can't seem to get your hands on that you'd like to restore or customize?
Looks good, any chance on making cutom wheels to order? Or making motors?
Sensational job on this piece!
