The Gremlin Grinder is one of my favorite vintage Hot Wheels castings. Today I did some custom paint, homemade decals, and put some gnarly drag slicks on this beast to finish it off proper like.

OK Jimmy fans, I'm going to open up my PO box for a little while and you can send me your donor cars! Check the description. I plan to take it down after a week or so.

@MatchboxGarage 5 лет назад

Fancy some vintage Matchbox from across the pond?

You want sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) as a substrate for 'filler' type cyanoacrylate repairs. I was using this in the late '70s, before the 'Net came along and blabbed all my car resto secrets. LOL Oh, and thx for mentioning the sponge-pad grit (1500). Not sure what I have to donate, but I'll look. AC

@AllenCross 5 лет назад

Oh, and try to avoid the CA + NaHCO3 fumes. Not good.

@dee1orean 5 лет назад

Nice vid, I personally find that these larger size white pearls work better over a dark base so black or dark blue maybe you can find another casting of this model and do the base in black and go over with the same pearl/flake mix?

@strawberryhellcat4738 5 лет назад

Well Jimmy, as an AMC/Mopar fan, I'd say you need some more of those! Keep that box open!

@Jacensbattlegrounds 5 лет назад

My neighbor used to have a Gremlin, one of those weird childhood memories you never forget for some reason ;)

@yavrielsechelle7431 5 лет назад

Everyone's neighbor had a Gremlin back then.

@Jacensbattlegrounds 5 лет назад

@@yavrielsechelle7431 That is true when you think about it. Used to see a lot of them back in the day.

@Dave_Boyer 5 лет назад

Sweet! I wouldn’t have thought it would have looked that good in white. Making me feel old...I was 5 in 74.....

@Retired_Gentleman 5 лет назад

I loved this one! I had a white '76 Gremlin with the "big 6." A 4.2 litre (258cid) motor with three speed automatic. It was the next best model to the Gremlin X having cloth seats, rear window defogger, plush carpeting, floor console shift and all in a medium blue that complimented the white exterior.

@karlkovach8647 5 лет назад

IMHO that is the coolest car that I've seen so far. I wouldn't be surprised if someone else copied that. Superb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@michaelgalindo9162 5 лет назад

One of the best ones thus far

@pauly7218 5 лет назад

This has to be your best Resto/Custom ever. Wow! Your right about the decals letting some of the glitter show thorough. A-Maze-ing!

@DiecastResurrection 5 лет назад

Still just playing around seeing what is what. Once I collaborate all these ideas into something.. it’ll be a real piece of work!

@Mielya94 5 лет назад

I’m really digging those decals, I also liked how they were transparent so you can see the glitter through it.

@mr.sideburns2031 5 лет назад

Another great piece. For someone who states you are kind of a newby to this custom stuff and painting, your shit looks better than most others on RU-vid. Can't wait for the next one.

@DiecastResurrection 5 лет назад

Once I’ve tried everything at least once, we’ll really build some cool ones!

@motherdetermined3348 3 года назад

I like the beginning where the car comes up and drops off the redline XD

Man I have started watching the videos again. Starved of content!

@brucejordan2281 5 лет назад

That is probably my favorite one yet. The paint looks incredible! The decals were on point. I liked the way you applied the glue to the tubes too. Keep it up. I don't miss an episode.

@brainsironically 5 лет назад

Man, all that work, and at the end... it was *still* a Gremlin! LoL Just bustin' your chops, man. Fantastic job. The end result was pretty great.

@boerharms2209 5 лет назад

Casting reminds me of the Roadkill Gremmy with the caddillac 500 in it. cuz this one's a gremlin with a massive motor. You made it look cool, very 70s

@dutch5345 4 года назад

I have a 72 Gremlin in the garage...used to drag race it....Love the build

@jhatfield9885 5 лет назад

I really dig what you do brother!! Between you, Outlaw Speedshop, and Sideways king my television is 1/64 scale hotness all the time. It's a good thing my wife and kids love to read. Keep it up man, I'm a fan for life.

@DiecastResurrection 5 лет назад

Thanks man, I appreciate that

@panzerleader49 5 лет назад

This technique had awesome results - keep it up Awesome!

@blindbug 5 лет назад

Stick a pin through your axle tubes to make them align better and keep them straight. Great restomod!

@travelersdiecastcustoms1511 5 лет назад

Great job. My first car 72 Gremlin red with Starsky & Hutch stripe up the side!! 👍👍

@DrewsCustomDiecastDrewMSmith 5 лет назад

Sweet! I absolutely love it. Gremlins have a special place in my heart. Bought my first one when I was 14 and next year marks the 40th anniversary of that purchase. Over the years I have had 5. After watching this I now have a new goal to find 5 of the Gremlin Grinders and pay homage to them. Your build brought back memories from when the Grinders came out. Again I can't say enough about how bad ass your builds are and thank you for reigniting the fire in me to build one last Gremlin (which I'll drag my 3 boys into the experience)

@busterj3209 5 лет назад

It's got an awesome 70's vibe

This car was made same year as I was born lol damn I am old. You do great work, and love watching you restore these old cars I use to play with. I never had the Gremlin although.

@wadelasch176 5 лет назад

I like it! My parents used to have a dark green one when I was young! Good job!

@irregularfit 5 лет назад

I've used microscale liquid decal film and sprayed it on dry printed decals with the air brush or paint brush. It makes them tough to mess up and more durable.

@pnamajck 5 лет назад

@spurgear4 5 лет назад

There was a guy in Vocational school who had a Gremlin. He stuffed a 440 out of an old Plymouth in it wit a 727 Torqueflite Transmission. We called it the Grimline.

@strawberryhellcat4738 5 лет назад

Tried to talk my hubby into doing the same thing. He said it was a crazy idea, so instead I stuffed a stroker 340 into a Jeep CJ7. When asked why, I'd always just say, "Go fast on dirt."

Came out great, love the paint job. Too good to use to pick up golf balls.

The sparkling paint going through the decals looks great. The yellow headlights really set off the look of the car with the matching decals. Another great car.

@SuperBadVideos 5 лет назад

That’s a sweet restor, I help build a gremlin hot rod when I was younger, it had a small 800hp motor, built up 400 turbo tranny with stall converter, full cage, 5 point seats, chopped down Z linked ford 9” rear axel, mustang 2 front end with adjustable coil overs, munster street legal meats in the back and pizza cutters up front, drag bars of course. With all the mods that car was still street legal (barely) and yes that thing was scary af to launch off the line and the power to weight ratio was crazy.

@DiecastResurrection 5 лет назад

Sounds.. like pure awesomeness!!!

@SuperBadVideos 5 лет назад

@Peckwesterlo1 5 лет назад

@davidwest7443 5 лет назад

Wow this looks fantastic. The wheels where are great choice.

@cheeto4493 5 лет назад

When trying too show off glitter or candy paints. I think a pinpoint light works the best. The one source of light gives a better reflection than flood lighting.

@Theover4000 5 лет назад

Haha! I’m working on a gremlin gasser irl! This is perfect in context!

@rogerbradley7509 5 лет назад

Ooooh sparkly!

@SteelRaptor24 5 лет назад

I have a suggestion, when you glued the tubes to the chassis, maybe next time you could take a long axle or wire of the same size to hold the tubes straight while they set 👍

@KristofferEk 4 года назад

the backwards redlines look preaty cool to.
