    I think my favorite thing about your videos is the commentary. I love the content, but your commentary is very entertaining. It’s fun to watch Jimmy’s appearances too 😂

    Now THATS how I remember hot wheels from my childhood ! Blown engine racing decals and a stick on number. My friend had a mustang in this colour and it was the fastest thing down our matchbox tracks we owned at that time. This channel stated off brilliantly and just gets better. Thanks for posting.

    • @A100-y2c

    You spend so much time on the surface prep and it shows in the finished cars. Yours look way better than other restorer's cars.

  • @tomheckhaus7617
    @tomheckhaus7617 5 років тому

    Another nice restoration, well done. Putting those manufacturer decals on the car brought back memories. When I was a mere lad we covered our cars with those. Whatever was under the hood had a decal on the car. Isky Cam, Mallory Ignition, Eledebok manifold, Holly Carb etc. etc. etc. One day I was pulled over by my friendly neighborhood police officer and he sat me down and said, "Y' know, you may as well put a shopping list for thieves on your car. All those stickers are a dead giveaway to what you have under the hood. Would you put a sign on your house telling the world you have a brand new television inside?" His point was well taken and I removed all my decals. Yes I grew up in the 60's the Beach Boys and the Super-car era.

    Really Sweet, the high polish gives it an almost Candy look/appearance. I think that one is now my favy. Really cool looking love the decals. Great vid. Your commentary is the best, Props to the 'Dude'.

    • @DiecastResurrection
      @DiecastResurrection  5 років тому

      Tony, cause I trust you... should I decal up the Heavy Chevy in a similar fashion?

    • @tonyneises5195
      @tonyneises5195 5 років тому +1

      @@DiecastResurrection I think the decals are very appropriate for those style of cars. The new Nitty Gritty Kitty looks totally BA with the decals and the stripes, it totally fits with the Blown engine and open engine compartment. Can't wait to see your next project. Remember you're "The Dude" so I am cool with whatever you do man!

      @DiecastResurrection  5 років тому +1

      I seems like now that I have a pretty good subscriber base and some videos out there. I don't have to explain everything so much. When I started out everyone had some many questions.. Now I can just leave it out and they will see what they were asking in another video. I think the more I do the more crazy they will get and they less of a tutorial itll have to be.

    Another great job dude! That color looks amazing. I always enjoy watching you customize/restore cougars, my dad was a collector of 1967-1970 cougars so I grew up riding around in them. I really wish there was a way I could purchase one of your cougars from you. DEFINITELY LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR NEXT VIDEO

    • @DiecastResurrection
      @DiecastResurrection  5 років тому

      I might sell some in the future who knows, I don't have any real attachments to them. Id be more likely to trade for a few junker cars of equal coolness.

    This Teal is my favorite color yet! The stickers pulls it all together. I LOVE it, great job. I can't see the results of the drop but what self respecting real life drag car doesn't have some wall scrapes anyway. It adds character. Thanks again my man!

    • @DiecastResurrection
      @DiecastResurrection  5 років тому +1

      Thanks my thoughts exactly, those cars always have scrapes and scratches etc.. I almost repainted it and thought it would be such a waste of decals and supplies.
