Gabriel Choi saints row is a really good game with friends but seems a lot like GTA i like that you can use cheats to get money so that you don't have to grind if you only wanna fool around
Very cool! Had no idea that people restored Hot Wheels cars! The techniques and processes are interesting and well explained. I like the fact that more detailed videos on the techniques are available. Well done
i love these videos! your care for the cars is so authentic, and it's kind of soothing just watching and listening to you restore such old pieces of history!
Ha! My stepfather designed the 67 Camaro. Drew it on our formica dining room table one night. Very cool to see this restoration of this little Hot Wheels car - so much a part of life back then.
Just came across your channel a few days ago. I'm old enough to remember having the entire series one hot wheels set in 1969 as a four year old. How I wish I still had them. Thanks to your videos I am going to be looking for vintage hot wheels at the local collector show with a new eye towards restoring them myself.
The point of this video was to address several people who were complaining that sanding the car was destroying the nickel plated surface... This video was as good as I could get without sanding and priming it... in more resent videos I do sand and prime... I try to address what my viewers bring up in the comments... thus this video is a result of comments left in my mustang video..were I sand the crap out of the model to get all the pits out. Unfortunately you don't get to choose what video RU-vid promotes... I would not have chosen this one as it only represents the best I could do not sanding the car. Many of my videos, like this one, are just experiments... showing different ways at going after an issue or tackling a viewers concern. Not every video ends with a perfect looking car.
Very succinct explanation Mr. baremetalHW. Nice... A+ Always enjoy my journeys with you. Almost 1.5 mil. views too. You deserve each & every one of them.
50 years on I have started buying HW cars again. My first one I bought in 1970 or so was this model Camaro in a copper colour, then a T-Bird, and then a Barracuda. I wish I still had them.
not sure why, but it very relaxing to watch these videos. i am not into cars at all and i am not sure how i got here. it is quite an art and i can appreciate the time and talent it takes to get this good at restoring these cars
I used to do this with 1/12'th scale cars, lambos, chevy etc. I used to change their colours monthly just 'cause I could, swap wheels & stuff, good fun.
I did a real 69 Camaro SS back in 77, and the resto-mod job took 3 months. Every piece of trim, molding, etc. was removed, and the car was stripped down to the original paint/primer. The body was perfect, straight, and had no filler. Next was six coats of primer with a guide coat on top, and after a week of block sanding was sealed. next was a scuff pad and wipe before setting her in the booth for a day and half to acclimate and let any vapors off. For paint was 78 Corvette dark blue metallic lacquer, and four coats of it. This was followed by water-sanding to take off the glaze and open it up for the next step of two coats of clear with a teaspoon of blue pearl in it. Driving this car down Sunset Strip in LA was a blast at night.........seeing this done to HW cars was refreshing at the least.
Keith Lucas that's cool,the first car I bought and restored was a 72 camaro split bumper,and the paintjob was well......pretty much gone so I primed it with and black primer coat,gold base coat I think I did a metallic gold base coat and then I did a candy apple red paintjob over that and then wetsanded and buffed etc etc but I did the black interior with leather bucket seats and a brushed steel I got from another project I put in door panels and across the dash as decoration and a holley 650 4 barrel carb(I believe), I had on and then the edelbrock intake I took apart and put a k&n high performance filter and cleaned out the motor cause I felt that's all that really needed to be done other than the carb and stuff I did but as a teenager as soon as I got a offer to buy it and I saw the cash I went for it and I kinda wish I kept it but I'm kinda glad I didn't at the same time
cookcars1 That is true, but Mattel did make a mistake, my 67 Camaro Hot Wheels car was made in 1982 without vent Windows making it appear to be a 68. I guess they figured no one would notice so why spend money on vent windows.
What creacy this video remember me in 1968 0n 13 of june when mattel lancer the first edition of 16 redline cars I was 10 years old in houseton tx I have a big 1968 2018 hotwheels collection congratulations friend
I came across this vid quite by accident. It was amongst the recommended vids to the right of a vid I had been watching. I have no idea why it was recommended, but I watched the whole thing and quite enjoyed it.
Very interesting. I never grew up on hot wheels nor do I have a collection. But that was such an improvement and love the color purple. Do these miniature cars have shows like real cars? Just curious.
Yeah I just went to a show in Niagra falls a few weeks ago. Never see n so many hot wheels in one place before. I got the mystery machine in the package for a buck. Sweet deal.
I have a question. I have hundreds of cars that only need slight repainting (especially the wheels.) Do I still need to remove all of the parts of the car?
Or, what i do is i mask off the rest of the car, dip a toothpick in the colour i want and paint in the tiny details. then after they are dry scrape away what you dont want then clear coat it.
I grew up with HotWheels. Job-wise I've never known what to do with myself. But I wish I stayed with it so that I could do something like this (at least be a gopher of whatever for when you need supplies or Chinese take out).
I dont know how I got to this channel but I did, farout, brings back some memories for sure, I had this car too, and many others you feature from the 70's
ultimaetsolder milliampage and amps are no joke they will kill you more than likely voltage will and should be taken seriously like all electrical currents
I was suggested to this video to help me fall asleep. It's been more than 3 months and it's been great, i've been sleeping like a baby. I don't mean any disrespect to baremetalHW or the narrator. I found the video incredibly interesting when i watched it during the day, but i have to say.. love falling asleep to this video. "hot-wheel's dreams" :)
When will you do a custom Volkswagen. I have over 35 that I would like to restore. If you dont have Ill gladly send you one so you can do a video and you can send it back. Deal?
Funny thing is I have folks from Ennis, TX. just down the road. And yeah I had people make fun of me building models and the like, including an exwife, but I use to point out all the models on the shelves of Motorheads, and Outlaw Bikers her brother was in with. I fly RC airplanes and helicopters, along with filming with drones, so you can tell those nitwits that I don't give a rat's behind.
The people that complaining about how much cost any handy skill job don´t understand the value of art on this job, and usually laugh of people that have this kind of beautiful hobby but at the same time spend money on tobacco, alcohol or drugs that somebody bring inside his city hidden on his ass. Thanks for take your time sharing this video. To me and 44 000 people more like a lot and nice voice sr. I wish you luck on your channel and your hobby. I would like to have more details in the way that you clean the metal with electricity and liquid
You did a very good job. Not to use sandpaper is the right thing to handle these little pieces of metal. Hmm, I think to look after my old matchbox cars since I saw this video. I have not seen them for over 40 years. Most of the items are stored in an original blue special matchbox "suitcase box" (please excuse, I don't know the right word for it).
Cool, this was one of the first Hot Wheels I got back in '68, and the Corvette too, at a place called Mike's for around $1. I was always a fan of the Camaro since I first saw one in our apartment complex lot in 1967. I wanted a real one but had to wait a few more years.
