The audio is gone here. Can you tell us anything about the larger case with he white lettering? kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpfWh56iiM2jf6c

I know this video is old but maybe the wheels going done is because kids just throwing them into a toybox and throwing more stuff on top, so itll hit the wheels and bend them

That "sparkling" on the spectraflame finish is the same you would get if you buy the "ultrahots" line from hotwheels rn

Zink plate the car

0:03 same car but destroyed it then sold it for 780$.

Instead of worrying about the plastic parts of the car, just disassemble it

Looks great. Nice job😊

I hope ur okay man

we miss you @baremetalHW ❤hope everything is ok ❤

Cool one windows would have looked cooler with smoke/ black tint😅

We still think about you big man, hope everything is alright.

I miss you. Just had a flashback and had to find your channel to see that I was still subscribed, but you haven't posted. Love your videos!

Very nice work! I agree with the wing, it was better without...

it was red and golden 😀

kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZmxZZ6Ah55_iZo this guy posted a video 2 days ago as of me writing this comment apparently getting a fan mail gift from baremetalhw

I use caustic soda for the paint removal.

yo when u gonna upload again

Great work, really like the finished result especially the colour.

Thankyou so much man for making this highly informative video 6 odd years ago. It’s come in very useful today. Cheers blkcat_custom.

I like it... With the Bye Focal 2s out I wondered what the first one looked like... Thanks for the vid...

I miss you sweet prince

Zinc elextroplate is the way to repair the original zinc finish

Again I wish you showed how you rivet them

Would have sand blasting been an option?

you should have sanded the casting first, it would not have turned out so pitted looking and been more smooth

Before you had a video on makeing rims or wheels i saw the one that you the sprinkler tube but i can't find the wheel videos

It was good

What paper did you use

Can you give information about electro polishing chemicals for gold and silver?

Nice

HOT WHEELS 🛞❓🏁💥

Can you send me his KZbin I can’t find it if you can find it lol

Nice restoration except that I would have preferred the tradional "blackwall" wheels instead of real riders. Classic blackwalls were still being made in the 1990's and so they can be taken from a cheap car.

Very nice restoration. Most resto jobs are easy for me to tell. But not this one. Chrome apparently is easier to mimic than spectraflame paint I've never seen a good spectaflame resto that really looked original, but some are better than others. The other key is the wheels. You chose good repro wheels from a modern hot wheels car that was of a type very similar to the mid 7O's redlines. Most resto jobs use wheels that are easy for me to tell apart from the original.

I realize that this is several years old, but man I appreciate it. I am working up to my first restoration and this helped me learn immensely. Wish me luck and sanity.

For those who wonder what happened to this channel I found the other comment from him on a video that was asking what happened to him

Pinned by Plow Bender Studios @baremetalHW 3 months ago Hey Plow, you nailed it with COPPA and viewership numbers. YT no longer supports the videos we make. In fact, video uploading causes me to lose vast chunks of subscribers. YT runs an algorithm that checks all your subscribers and deletes dormant accounts every time you upload. But the big issue is that YT does not want to advertise with our content, and if they can't advertise on your content, then there is no reason to show people that content. I can live with the loss of subs and revenue, but the fact that they won't push the content is very de-moralizing. The deleted videos were removed because they contained music from the "free" YT music library. Every video I have with music has had copyright claims against it. The videos I removed are the videos on which I did not win the claim. It's funny, but baremetalhw is not my first YT channel. I created a channel called myst32yt in October 2006. That channel was based on chemistry and reached 20k subs before I abandoned it. YT had started coming down hard on chemistry channels, and I saw the writing on the wall. I thought, "What content could I create that would be safe from YT's ire?" My young son was into HW and RaceGrooves, and at the time, there were very few videos on customizing HW. So, I figured that would be a "safe" channel to create; YT would never go after that. lol I have thought about returning a few times, but I see stagnant channels every time I go out there. Nobody can get around the issue. When speaking about future changes in the videos you brought up, I had considered pivoting my channel into other areas to move away from a "toy" channel. The plan was to do restorations in other non-toy areas and place these videos between the HW videos to confuse the algorithm. However, it was going so downhill at the time, and the thought of reworking my channel again had left such a bad taste in my mouth that I just threw up my hands. I still have all the items you sent, including the cards. I appreciate you sending them and sincerely apologize for not thanking you properly. I have tried to make things "whole" for those who supported me by shipping off most of the cars in the videos to them. I may come back to YT at some point. I hoped that issues would die off and return to some semblance of what they were before. But this does not seem to be the plan, and with all the safety issues with social media in general, I figure it is just going to get worse. If I did return, I would have to change things up in a way that would get me out of the COPPA grey area. If anyone has any ideas, I am all ears. Thanks for making this video. You can imagine my surprise when it got pushed to my "for you" page. lol, I did a double-take.

The metal bodied cars are made of ZAMAC or ZAMAK alloy. It's an alloy of zinc, aluminum, magnesium and copper and can be diecast easily. Developed in the 1920's it is used for lots of diecast objects. I imagine that the blend of metals will cause different levels of corrosion/aging on the surface over time and knowing what conditions these little hot rods are subject to, that should be expected. I imagine that vacuum plating one car would be extremely expensive so possibly a "chrome" paint undercoat may work if the polishing is not looking good.

I have seven original custom Volkswagens, including one restoration. They were made in both Hong Kong and the United States. This is an American release one

Such a great how to video. You did a great job. I recently from a 1969 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow when I went metal detecting. For how long it was likely underground it was actually in decent shape, but I was thinking of restoring it. Question though, do you HAVE to take the tires off? I'd had to give up the original tires which are in great shape, though there's only three. I would like to keep it as original as I can....Thanks again.

Are you still doing red line restorations ????? I have not seen any new ones just wanted to see if your ok friend I been watching the projects for years I have not got any updates or any thing and I had to subscribe again I don’t understand I subscribe years ago ???? Maybe your channel changed

I got a Nissan 35gt with extra plastic behind the rear brake lights i found today 😀

You ever try a cricket vinyl cutter to make the detail stickers yourself? Seems like it would need to be a really thin vinyl.

I like using silver solder for smaller projects

The colored windows in the blues or yellows are always something that gives a feeling back - that nastalgia!

Wow! I've actually got that one too! In that very colour. Shame they sold up unable to compete with Mattel. Great little cars. Many Matchbox cars had suspension that ran beautifully on the old superfast track.

I favourite seens where the oiled sled the squirrel and Eddie dumping sewage

Had this cast as a kid in red orange yellow and white all with nice tampos. Late 70s-early 80s
