This is a sweet resto job.

Paint a little happy little tree over here. Laughing my head off literally. Brilliant.

Love that color!!

Very cool pictures and car

I knew there was another reason why I like your videos....You are the Bob Ross of this stuff....Happy little trees😄

The ultimate virgin hobby: fiddling with the hot wheels the kids wouldn’t want to play with anymore. Great craftsmanship, attention to detail and patience though 👍

I absolutely love the "Nitty Gritty Kitty" Cougar logo, very gifted artist, l would make a huge sign in my man cave, super cool. My 68 Cougar was my favorite car l ever had, sequential tail lights were awesome.

I don't know if my favorite thing about your videos is your craftsmanship or your commentary. Actually it's I do... it's your commentary. Keep being you.

Another awesome build, love it.

Thanks again from South Africa 🇿🇦 great firebird, love the color, take care

Kip i'm so glad you quit cage fighting and found something you are very gifted at. Love these concourse worthy restorations. Tell Lafawnda hi for me, Rico

I picked blue for the vette and was disappointed blue didn't get picked but now its out of my system. That fire bird looks awesome in windex blue, good work and don't stop the humor. This video was a great start to my day. Thanks

I am glad i found your youtube channel! It makes me happy to watch you restore these old cars! I am very sad to say that i had to sell all of my diecast cars in 2020 when i lost my job due to the pandemic and government forced lock downs. Keep on keepin on!

Looks really nice. Love that colour

Oh I love the blue so much keep up the videos👍🏻👍🏻

7.8 K!!! The art is killer and that blue is swwweeeet! sounds like the time you off from work is going to be the greatest week of our lives...we shall survive the Gauntlet!

That looks mighty sweet Mr Die-cast! 🧁

Looks great thanks for showing.

Super nice!! Looks just like new.👍👍

Just came back to this video and WOW! You have really changed things up from when this was made. Interesting to compare your older vids against the current stuff.

Nice! Always a pleasure - thanks

That is gorgeous....really nice.

Sweet ride. Love your videos.👍👍👍

Another brilliant and motivational video, I’m gonna start doing this to my cars!

I love your videos, you have talent as you repair something that seems like it will never be repaired I like your videos a lot

I love watching what you do man, Thank you for the content

I really like that color!

I’m pretty much here for the commentary 🤣 love your stuff!!!

Really beautiful, that windex blue is really sharp.

Love your work! Your commentary is the best. Reminds me of Bill Murray in Caddyshack. So I got that going for me, which Is nice

Awesome Firechicken!!!

I love that color! Great channel!

Yeah timmy, hush them gums, he'll get to it when he's damn well good and ready

Now that was cool!

One of the best ones yet. Looks great.

Good Bill Murray humor..👍🏻

Looks great!

one of the best looking ones I've seen. simple and classic.

I like it !

I’d legit paint every car this color this is my favorite color made

New subscriber, Great video, a lot of memories from childhood days with these restorations. Love the commentary too.

Very relaxing

I was high while watching this and I relieved I watch you're videos everytime I'm high cuz how good you do and how you actually take you're time just relaxes me lol You're Amazing

"Battle scars"... apt definition for well-loved toys...

Another fantastic Redline restoration. From what you started with, the end result is a night and day difference. And RockitRod’s art is just up my alley...I collect Ed “Big Daddy” Roth art lithos and posters, t-shirts and anything Rat Fink...great stuff, as I am a child of that era, and vintage Hot Wheels when they were the hottest new toys to carry around and have a few in my lunchbox at school....Anyway, thanks for the video series...I’m always looking forward to the next one....

Awesome

Enjoying your fun shows thanks 😃 about the skinny front wheels . . . Speaking as a fellow who was delighted to see the birth of these toys as a 5 yr. old could be, hot rods, dragsters etc of the era, HAD to have skinnys up front and huge slicks in back, unrealistic and impractical or not, they just had to, to be cool. Conditioned by the artwork of the day like Ed Roth etc. Maybe, but they knew what we wanted, and they really satisfied, nothing else like them. As fun as the older matchbox cars were, these were loved and coveted big time.

Love the windex Blue ! And the Art is Amazing !!! Love the you tube pages Art ! Its perfect !!

kool , all time classic favorite

Wow this is great

Great video and great art, keep it up!!

the old Firebird is a great casting! One of the best redlines in my opinion.. you put it back to the way it should.. awesome resto, love the color!

I'd love to see a Spectraflame orange on the other Firebird. That should look SWEET.

If you notice on Hot Wheels "wheels", they taper off towards the outside of the wheel. Toward the inside of the wheel is a small "bead-like" feature that is the only part that touches the track. That gave the cars so much of their speed, for less friction going down the track.

Looks good!

That subscriber artwork.. you are right, he is amazing. I am glad someone is continuing that hot rod rat fink art style my dad and I remember so well

Increíbles tus trabajos Felicidades....

Beautiful colour ! Love the commentary, always makes me smile.

Bravo, well done

Best commentary yet.

All firebirds are officially “Firechickens” to me now!

Looks great.

That blue looks great! Another amazing restoration!

Very nice.

I swear you're as high as I am when you do one of these videos. Your sound effects and voices tripped me out lol love your videos.

Good stuff! Thanks for the fun.

Loving that windex blue, came out super sweet👍Another video where your sense of humour shines. Always have fun watching, looking forward to the next Redline. Thanks for sharing 😊

COOL!!!

Great Artwork from Rod! Another good video!

Worth the wait! That Windex Blue is Awesome! Oh and Mud Butt is nothing to joke about.. As I currently suffer from Mud Butt.

Great job and like the colour. Mud butt lol Look forward to watching more. Jack

One of my fave castings! 👊fistbump for going windex blue man! That shade of blue reminds me of my old chevelle!! And I only ever got mud butt from drinking keg Budweiser!!

Your are the bob Ross of hot wheels, love your work

That build reminded me why I like HotWheels so much. I clearly remember playing with them in the 60's and thought to myself that the adults that built this really understood the kid that plays with them. Love the mild to wild custom cars and the working suspension. The jewel like colors of the Spectra is the cherry on top.

Heck yeah, that windex blue looks awesome!

Looking mighty fine sir! That pimp white interior looks ORSUM against the Windex blue. Nom nom!

Great video. I like seeing your cars come back to life. Yes Rod does some great work also. Keep up the good work guys.

Awesome video once again.. fab restoration, that Blue is a stunner!

nice restoration

Awesome color its squeeky clean love it. Hope Timmy finds his dentures!

I get excited when I see you've uploaded a new video. You one of the few RU-vid guys where I love the narration - It's the best part! I can hear you having fun. Keep it up!

I like that color, looks nice. A lighter blue would have also looked really nice I think.

Great vids

Another gorgeous transformation. Keep up the good work, your videos are great.

Awesome job on the car

Why was this in my recommended? And now I'm subbed.

Beautiful car👍👏

Love it

Nice job! 👍🏻🇺🇸

Nice !!!

Loved the video ...Keep up the awesome work..

Cam lope sounds sweet!

Windex blue yeaahhh. tip top tippety top resto once again, the master has delivered again.🎅🎅

Wow! You know, although your newer at this you definitely have a knack for it. I must say I think you, baremetalhw , and Marty's Matchbox Makeovers are the top three at this sort of hobby. Thanks for another great one!

Just found your channel nice work always nice to see these old toys being resurrected whether original or custom👍

Nice job

I would rather see a firebird any day!

Too funny!! Great looking car, great video

Sweet car! Really like Rod’s art work for you! Keep up the vids!
