'67 Chevrolet Camaro Hot Wheels Triple Candy Custom

[@judih.8754]

And we have 100% paint adhesion!!!! Tough one, when you said "here's the first attempt" I could tell this one would be taking you for a ride. Good wheel choice and the color is sublime! Good job Rob.

[@gusseeley2280]

I like this paint. Kinda' looks like a shiney booger.

[@jimmd68]

Nice! That color registers as green to my eyes, but it looks good, and the wheels go perfectly with it.

[@michaelparylak5649]

One of my all-time favorite hot wheel molds. As a child used to flip the trunk open with a thumb. Pretending it was a cigarette lighter 😂 work pretty good with candy cigarettes.

[@joeholloway1386]

Nice restoration and paint job 👌👍

[@andrejimmo1176]

Beautiful job! The colors are amazing.

[@teee4532]

Great job! The paint turned out great

[@billhowe3867]

What an improvement! Wheels are spot on! Here, in Pennsylvania, we are expecting 12"-18" of snow on Wednesday!

[@shortersdiecast4130]

Turned out beautiful. Especially love those wheels. Awesome job.

[@hugoferriz8191]

Nice paint tone. It looks great 👍

[@JS-1983]

Very nice clean Camaro 😎 Love the wheels and colour. Tough paint on that casting 😄

[@canadiancatgreen]

Beautiful work

[@battlehawk77]

Gorgeous result. A shame the paint gave you so much trouble, but hard work and clean living prevailed. :)

[@keithivey6786]

Awesome job on this casting. Those wheels you put on it was a great choice and look so much better than the ones that were on it before.

[@charlessweigert6180]

Those wheels really set that off!!!!! Great job!!!!!

[@Lahire-s7l]

Super cool taf top😊

[@g3racecompetition992]

Buen trabajo

[@cudasdiecastcustoms7567]

I love how this turned out! very cool! it is one of them builds that is simple but it turned out amazing like wow! I love the wheels and I love the green for the paint!! now I wish Hotwheels or matchbox could produce cars as good as yours Rob!

[@Brezee14]

Love with this colour, Merry Christmas for everyone

[@horaciodiecast]

It looks wonderful. Great job!!!

[@diecastmaniac2301]

Wow! Looks very cool. Great job.

[@brianartillery]

That's the sort of model that needs a going over with a Scotchbrite scouring pad, or coarse wire wool before introducing it to the caustic soda. It looks like it had a gloss lacquer outer layer, too.

[@MatchboxGarage]

Strong paint 💪

[@mg6506]

Wow love that colour. It kind of reminds me of the spectra flame paint.

[@R1chardB1ngham]

A Hot Wheels at last! Your one came out in 1996 in a 5 pack, later ones didn't have an opening hood so it's a good base for a custom. Looks awesome now, especially after replacing those ghastly 3 spokes Nice nod to Marty's Matchbox Makeovers too...

[@collinreid8121]

That camaro came out beautifully!

[@tonyhughes1958able]

Caustic resistance, thats when I get the paint stripper out ;-)). Great job as usual Rob, looks very tasty.

[@TheBadJuJu666]

This color is stunning!! The Camaro is my favorite car and I have quite a few hot wheels/ larger die cast models. None have a color that looks as good as that though. Awesome job!

[@andrenienaber9527]

Beautiful, I would give a much treasured part of my anatomy to own a real one.

[@andyherrold7364]

Paint removal fail x3... looks good Rob.

[@kylepassaro1398]

Colour looks great on the Chevy

[@carlosdelgado614]

Awesome awesome job my friend

[@devernpinnock8176]

Nice work should've put a license plate that says "envy" lol

[@andrewphippsphillips1455]

This is a casting I'm glad you have done again Rob.... I have 6 of these in the "Old School" guise, with opening bonnet and metal body/base. Sadly the model is now a plastic base, no opening feature (like the AC Cobra SC 427) which is a shame. I had hear a rumour the 67 still had the engine underneath but the bonnet is obviously fixed down. Now have to find a stack of suitably sized rubber tyred wheels for all 6, plus a possibility of doing further versions of I find the model all scuffed and in need of rescue. One thing to note...A lot of the premium versions have a contrasting colour roof, often white if it's a darker colour such as this, or dark roof if it's a light colour. It's cool you went against the conventional......

[@lotharrenz4621]

aw man, what a tough paint. reminds me of my younger days when I could only scrape off the paint with a sharpened screwdriver; some paints would flake off right away, others needed force, and some were even done with a basecoat. anyway, beautiful colour, really deep with hints of other colours. love the wheels, too!

[@hodgeshotwheelsanddiecast5192]

Beautiful color for an iconic musclecar! Excellent job buddy. Love it

[@MatchboxGarage]

Thanks George 😊

[@stevenjones19-m8i]

Hi Rob,wow that really does look smart,flip paint and those bling wheels really does set it off,the decals are tidy with the paint.👌

[@carlweyenbergh4059]

Stubborn paint! But you get there in the end, color is superb for this casting. The wheels look the business. Another great one Rob. 👍

[@anthonybollini3699]

Wow, the color set it off, !

[@matthewblasi4489]

Very interesting color and overall great job Rob.

[@neilcummings9939]

on purpose or not that color turned out amazing. that is one cool camaro

[@ZGryphon]

Beautiful job. I like the color you ended up with--it might be interesting to test sometime and see how much difference there is between multiple paints applied that way, and the same ones mixed beforehand. Although I suppose half the fun is the surprise... I don't know what that was originally painted with, but I want it for my actual car. :)

[@duanemartin4958]

That was a stubborn bugger lol Looks great tho 😎👍

[@MrCsKnotAnotherTie]

Great transformation Rob, looks fantastic, 3 rounds of caustic... can't win them all 👍

[@didrikpeterson]

Totally LOVE that color! Great job as always, Rob!

[@SoMoDiecast]

I had a similar experience while stripping the paint on a 1963 Chevy II Gasser, I had to leave it in the stripper for two days before it came clean! Nice build Rob!

[@billybbutter2780]

Awesome job. Best one yet. Nailed it...

[@mitchelldibler6531]

You always do a great job.

[@SharpblueCreative]

Nice one. Definitely an improvement

[@malcolmmacdonald3992]

Absolutely better than new! Loved the 0% paint removal - sorry ;-)

[@2H80vids]

Beautiful colour Rob, not seeing the three different paints though.👍

[@Matt-md5yt]

glad you did one of these bad boys my friend. the wheels are the 90's thing, and some modern cars have it too.

[@jtrogue]

Love the result Rob. Had fun watching the fluff fly off during the windshield polishing.

[@xr8rick]

Nice work

[@musmo]

Great result! 👍

[@AlexHonsalesModelRestoration]

Fantastic job!

[@peterfromb5784]

Beautiful! Stay safe!

[@wadehendryx7378]

Beautiful Rob. You never know what you're going to get with mixing paint do you. I think it turned out pretty cool. Take care and stay safe. Merry Christmas.

[@cannyuk]

I like the monster decals, the colour is just right for that.

[@jameshall4385]

Not too bad. I like the color.

[@dadsrustorations5103]

I find if you sand the car before you strip. It works better. Nice look!

[@bryansukdeo]

Wonderful job Rob. Love this year of Camaro. Your color, decal and wheel choice look prefect for the car. Well done!

[@ericgaudet4497]

Great job with your Custom Candy paintjob on that beautiful '67 Carmaro and yes there still making Camrao now and there Chevy pick of Car for Nascar.

[@diecast_MikeEspo]

SOO KOOOOOLLLL. Paint is awesome. Wheels are great 👍. Mike Espo .

[@WitchCityCollector]

Wicked paint job. #ZeroPercentPaintRemoval

[@jimshine9734]

American Muscle at its best👍🏁

[@Lahire-s7l]

Super camaro cool😊

[@GiotheGhreat]

Looks great!

[@MidIslandCustomDiecast]

Lovely job on this one Rob. My all time favorite Camaro and all time favorite muscle car of all time is the 67 Caramo. I find caustic soda fairly ineffective on the hot wheels cars of this vintage as well. Matchbox cars are where the caustic bath shines.

[@robertdavies5501]

Very nicely done .....always a touch of the masters hand.....👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️keep safe Merry Christmas to you and your family Rob from Blackwood South Australia

[@oldhick9047]

1967 is THE Camaro in my book, but my book only has one page. This casting is very close to the original "RedLine" Camaro offered in 1968.

[@jerrybailey5797]

Looks great Rob 👍....l'd call that the "Monster Green Camaro"..... or something like that lol 😆

[@glennhales617]

A Camaro, yessss!! I have over 1700 different Camaro's in my collection. Some Hot Wheels paint is hard to strip. Looks good.

[@misieeek0485]

As far as i remember, that casting was introduced around 1982, and it was partially based on original "sweet sixteen" camaro introduced in 1968

[@oldhick9047]

I should have read your comment before I made mine. Lol

[@hotwheelsrestore5853]

Looks really nice I hope I'm picked to win it

[@graemehansell7642]

Looks like you could do with a small sandblaster Rob.

[@markrobinson8865]

Great job Rob 👍👍👍👍

[@cdca1973]

You might want to try and scuff the paint with sandpaper before hand, seems to work with regular paint stripper.

[@ALWAYZNYAEAR]

honestly I would redo the wind screen. but all in all great job

[@MCDJACDC]

Looks good, I think I would have went with white racing stripes on top and with with the same size Wheel and Tire all the way around. Adding some white letter tires.

[@redcarguy]

Reporters were told by GM product managers that the term also meant "a small, vicious animal that eats Mustangs." Nice job!

[@jamescunliffe9872]

I prefer the straight spoke wheels as slanted or asymmetric individual spokes always have backwards rotation on the other side,lol if that makes sense! I like the flip tone,could do something that resembles an opal but it would require tricky masking like camouflage and a bridging yellow between red and blue?:)

[@scooterdoughmas3012]

holy blue ovals batman very sweet color thanks for sharing best wishes dou lub cooter

[@fijack4290]

Nice resto', Rob. Like the colour and the new wheels. Also, I had a model a few months back that required three attempts to strip the paint and the guy I bought it from told me it was industrial paint. Finally, Camaro is pronounced with 'ma' as in 'mama'. Stay safe.

[@eb1012]

Nice 👍🏻

[@jhonistein5347]

Hey man looking good love it keep them coming love the video love the work 😷stay safe 👊👊👊👍

[@shaunfelton2046]

It looks mean! Awesome!

[@JoseMedina-hs9st]

That casting of the Camaro they stop making it with a opening hood

[@brettm777]

Hi, I looked at the store, particularly interested in the plastic polish you use, but it wasn’t there. I remember also that in your earlier videos you used to dip the windows in some sort of polish also. I’d like to know what you use. Thanks

[@tygrkhat4087]

I'd call the final color jade green with blue highlights.

[@A100-y2c]

My brother owned the later Flying Colors ('76 or so) mustard yellow casting of this one, with the exposed engine as altered for all of the "Heavy Chevy" incarnations in 1970 or so. The other Spoilers from 1970 included Nitty Gritty Kitty (Merc Cougar), Mustang Boss Hoss, Light-My-Firebird, King Cuda (Barracuda), and TNT-Bird (Thunderbird). The 6 best Hot Wheels ever...!

[@devernpinnock8176]

May need to get some citri strip for times like this when the caustic soda doesn't work

[@DJShadow1966]

I've had the same with older Hot Wheels, I put it down to urethane paint and urethane clear coat, stripper works best on these.

[@chassegallerie2910]

This was in a 5 pack 'round '97. I bought it back then 'cuz it was an all Camaro pack with the most recent Camaro model (convertible). I still have them, they're all in almost pristine condition, But most of 'em ended up gathering so much dust from being displayed on one of my desks that even after cleaning them with water, they didn't really came back to being shinny again. And even back then, those wheels were ugly as hell, so the swap is a really good thing.

[@stephaniewright4336]

I would drive this car! (If I were 1:64 scale and the engine worked!😕) 😃

[@Faisal-mg9vk]

The heart beat of my soul Chevy always

[@PapiDoesIt]

The Camaro was first introduced in 1967 as an answer to Ford's popular Mustang. It's pronounced "Cuh-MARE-oh" despite what Jeremy Clarkson may have to say on the matter.

[@Billsfan2012]

My first car was a 67 Camaro. Although my 67 had wing windows, that might be a problem for the casting and manufacturer.

[@NavyVeteran1776]

I found that you definitely have to have hot hot water for caustic soda to work

[@Gearhead-en8dz]

The newest release is not premium. It is a brown with yellow skunk worx 2016 rerelease. There are the premium Fast and Furious 2012 (1982) casts. Even though the hood is wrong compared to the actual Camaro in the film. Great cars, many to choose from!

[@rjauto7215]

1967 wow the year I was born
