Redline Restoration: Hot Wheels Custom T-Bird

[@DDVLLE]

As soon as the paint was removed, I was waiting for you to say “and as you can see, there’s a lot of oxidation on the body of this car.” I think I’ve been watching these videos too much

[@RonaldFinger]

I love the 3D printed base for the lazy susan! Also great work as alway

[@bigrev1601]

We homeschool our 10-year-old son, and your program has become our favorite lunchtime diversion! Thanks for having such a wonderful, family-friendly program!

[@brentjones9915]

I'm not sure if you realize just how many people look up to you for tips, advice, and inspiration. Many of us have watched your entire compilation of videos several times over, absorbing every line, every word as we strive to expand our library of knowledge and improve our skills. You've come a long way, and we thank you for sticking with it for so long.

[@baremetalHW]

Wow thanks!!!

[@tombarker3608]

I will say it again. There are artisans all over youtube but you are a true master at your craft. As an adult that grew up with Hot Wheels I am very impressed at how you can save these cars. Great job.

[@timrichardson9226]

I don't typically comment, but this restoration was really cool! That top over the pitted paint looked great! Well done!

[@randynovick7972]

Love the redline wheel carousel and really enjoyed this restoration. I find the restorations very satisfying to watch. You always do so much, but never =too= much. Nice work as always and thanks for sharing this.

[@thomaslove6411]

I find your videos relaxing and informative.

[@josephlowry4320]

Me too, I almost fell asleep after watching the restoration, it's very satisfying too.

[@akinoffury2332]

Every time I watch these, it makes me want to get out my old hot wheels &© matchbox cars, and try to restore them. Great work, as always

[@thecreativecardinalbyl.bet7012]

Love it! Looks so good. My favorite quote...."...but I was busy."

[@astrogoodvibes6164]

Classy finish with the orange again Sir and thank you for an effortless restore that yields your usual wonderful lustrous result. A nice add to your orange sweet 16...it will be great to eventually see your complete orange sw 16 Thank you again for the tips and I can't wait to see the new zinc plating process

[@PacManDreaming]

Oh, man, you don't know how excited I am to see a new video. I bet I've watched all your restoration videos five or six times during the last week.

[@NitrousDiecast]

PacMan Dreaming I find his videos relaxing too, and I have watched them a couple of times

[@6mdollarman281]

100% better than what you started with! Awesome work man, I really enjoy your videos and actually prefer your channel over anyone else's. Love these old redlines, keep the vids coming!

[@WimJilf]

Looks fab! Can’t wait to see the collection together once completed!

[@Bl4zz3r]

I was so excited when I saw the thumbnail for this video because this is one of my favourite cars! I found one of these many years ago in a Salvation army store but the hood was missing. Even with that problem I've hung on to it because it's kind of cool just being able to see the engine. Thanks for your great videos.

[@Trojank]

I like your new lazy susan!

[@spottydog4477]

Whats a lazy susan?..its this some kinda slang term?

[@coopercruse5867]

Its the rotating table that he displays them on, Any table that has a turn table on it is called a lazy susan. Many out door settings have them.

[@retroredlines3927]

I actually sent Him a pair of these Redline Hot Wheel Single Car Display's, the Lower Desk Stand (Lazy Susan) and a Standing Display. Since he liked both ive decided to list them on eBay. they are 3D Printed in 3 Colors and assembled.

[@444customs7]

Retro Redlines link?

[@retroredlines3927]

Sean's Custom Hot Wheels , on eBay if you search Single Car Redline Display they will come up. If I posted a link it would only last the duration of the listing.

[@MossRods]

that rotating stand is awesome! Also, I havent had very good luck with frog tape. Seems like no matter what it still bleeds. I use 3M automotive paint tape from Napa or any auto parts store. Even comes in different widths, i think from half into the 3 inches

[@WheelsNThangs]

Looks great, loving the orange! I have a fresh bottle that is dying to be cracked open.

[@baremetalHW]

I think you will really like it! Especially on those Dukes of Hazzard cars you did.

[@zakarylakota]

This by far is my favorite one. Love the end result! The vinyl top is what does it for me.

[@kjamison5951]

Looking forward to the zinc playing video. As always, a great result!

[@ErkanthArkhonas]

Would love to see a video showing off your collection of restored cars as of 2019! Love your work, keep gifting us with more of your restorations and techniques c:

[@GuitardedAndBroke]

It came out beautiful once again!! The burnt orange was a great choice!!

[@BothFeetInPodcast]

After seeing the bare body I had pretty low expectations - once again, you made it into something amazing. About to attempt my own restoration based on this channel - thanks for the inspiration!

[@wolftmfg]

You are the man, Bare 👍🏼 To the metal. Nice job again! Thanks for showing your way. Much appreciated ☝️🙂

[@cobra-qb4rd]

My 68 tbird came factory with the vinyl top. You did it right by not painting the front pillars as they never had vinyl on them. I restored a few dozen of my old matchbox cars as well as painted and detailed the interiors and engines of they came with an open hood. I used them for my xmas town model. I can send some pictures so you can see the absolute detail on the cars and town.

[@synchro505]

Can't wait to see the zinc plating. Great work as always on this car.

[@TehExecutioner24]

That Paintjob and restoration is sexy, and fresh as always. Always love your restorations, as you explain your step by step process in doing so. I find it satisfactory to see old HW being revamped into it's original or newer glory. Keep up the good work bro!

[@peterjozsef448]

It turned out beautiful 👏

[@SC-mq1eh]

i like the ultra black matte, awesome contrast! but a great build and cant wait to see the zinc plating adventures!

[@revzillo]

Love that orange colour, really suits this model, nice job 👍

[@bricecooper7903]

That orange color definitely came out great

[@datswissguy5387]

Zinc plating? I'll recommend going the acidic pathway. Anhydrous zinc chloride, boric acid and potassium chloride maybe. Or you go the alkaline route which works way better but involves creating zinc-cyanide complexes. I personally wouldn't go that route, i'm a chemist myself and i wouldn't deal with cyanide in a non-lab environment. P.S. i'm lucky being born with the ability to smell hydrogen cyanide, so i wouldn't need a detector :)

[@baremetalHW]

My degree is in chemistry...You might like my old channel... kzbin.info Email me if you get a [e-mail]

[@datswissguy5387]

Done. And i saw your video on ABS de-yellowing :)

[@lieutenantdan417]

Cool

[@monolinkster]

Love your new 3d printed redline tire display stand

[@briannicklas109]

Have you tried dipping the windshield pieces in Future Floor Wax (aka Pledge with Future Shine) after you clean and polish? You just need to pour some in a small container, dip the part totally, then pull it out, letting it rest to dry on a paper towel. If you mess up, it comes off with ammonia. It really helps hide blemishes in the clear plastic. Airplane modelers do this. Glad I stumbled on your stuff - nice work!

[@SimplyDudeFace]

Love the 3D printed rotator stand at the end.

[@Sonicfan1661]

Good video. Also, where'd you get that spinning base? I've never seen it before.

[@baremetalHW]

A subscriber made it for me...

[@Sonicfan1661]

baremetalHW If at all possible, could you let them know that I'd be interested in commissioning them in the future? If not that's fine, I don't want to take up their time if they're busy with other things.

[@merijn1254]

baremetalHW it looks really good!

[@zaksdiecasts213]

Wow, that’s an amazing restoration!!! Love those new red wheels!!

[@robertflores9227]

A tape tip is to put the tape on your shirt so it won’t stick so much and not leave any residue.

[@marambaL]

Loving the matte finish roof...nice contrast to the car

[@TheUncleRuckus]

Word, a new video. The car turned out great, like always. I love that spectra flame orange, it looks awesome on the car. Can't wait to see the video on zinc plating and the final product. Keep up the awesome work!!

[@ourhaus9164]

Nice restoration, that model of T-Bird is something I've always liked. Wish I could find it w/ the 50th set

[@captaincoyote1792]

Wow! When you first mentioned orange, I thought like my teenage daughter and mentally went “eew!” However, once complete, in orange, that T-bird was sharp! I was somewhat confused with your discussion on wheels (original versus reproductions), as I thought they were all “reproductions”.....so I will do some research. Anyway, once again, even with the metal discoloration that you pointed out, I found it yet another beautifully-completed model!

[@50goingon15]

That looks absolutely amazing.

[@S4LtyTrIcKs]

That black paint covered the imperfections very well

[@williambartholomew5680]

That orange turned out really nice on the trunk! For the vinyl roof you should use a semigloss black instead, the black you used would look great on a realistic custom car but since yours in good old Hot Wheels it will look better with the same/similar semigloss black that was previously on it.

[@Koolboirj]

You do the most coolest things to Hot Wheels ever

[@cookiemadison8529]

Amazing how that roof turned out. You mentioned your goal of doing a sweet 16 set in orange--hope that's something you do a video on. Would love to see that.

[@iambiggus]

Looks awesome. Orange and black really pop.

[@christopherseay5899]

love that 3d Printed Wheel for your turntable!!

[@NitrousDiecast]

It’s so cool that you are soon going to be able to zinc plate your cars! They will really be next level! Are you going to redo your previously painted cars that needed it?

[@baremetalHW]

Yes

[@Tordre]

Real excited about the electroplating, good luck with figuring it out.

[@TheNyarcangel]

The car came out great

[@hookman73]

Gorgeous paint color!

[@kennydemartini2169]

Use 3M tape. Green or yellow are the best. When you remove the tape, pull it back against itself slowly instead of pulling it off at a 90 degree angle. This helps tremendously in preventing the paint from peeling off. Pulling it off right after the final coat also helps from getting a sharp edge, as it allows the paint to slightly roll past the tape line. I do this all the time when I two-tone cars in my body shop... Great video again!

[@RiverasHotWheels]

Bravo! 2 thumbs up from me. Love the end result! 👌🏽 👍🏽👍🏽

[@Sonicfan1661]

Hey, just curious, would you take a request involving a Matchbox Crown Victoria? Because I have a metal/metal model, it used to be black at some point but most of the paint is gone and there is some dirt in the interior. The idea just popped into my head and I thought it sounded like an interesting idea if you'd be on board with it. If not that's fine, just thought I'd suggest it.

[@metallicarabbit]

i never get tired of your videos. A+. Big fan here!!!

[@ClubDiecast64]

Definitely enjoyed this video! T-Bird came out great!

[@jammygamer8961]

i personally didn't think this car need the restoration but great job as always :). Question I have plans to restore of my redlines soon but the oxidation comes back after a while any way of stopping this?

[@baremetalHW]

Clear coat over it.

[@lrg8734]

Considering what you had to work with, you did a good job.

[@oceankazoot7752]

great video my dude i like the way the paint turned out with the wool

[@conradsmith9332]

Hello I love watching you restore these, I would like to know what I would need to start out restoring these, I have an airbrush and that's it, but I want to know what I need to buy. Thank you very much

[@johnkelley9877]

Even with the slight blemishes the car look great!

[@d-sifer7714]

Another brilliant build......!!

[@66chevylongbed13]

Awesome build!!!! Where can I find the tool you used to rebuild the car? The green and black tool?

[@behrangkhosravi3157]

As always fantastic and relaxing to watch.

[@h2ofield]

The orange is coming out very nice!

[@thehotwheelshunter]

Looks amazing I love the blacktop and it really hid the oxidation thanks for sharing

[@Smurphenstein]

Nice work. Love the colour.

[@furbyguy]

Fantastic work, you're good at what you do.

[@Mercury1600]

very much looking forward to the zinc plating episode

[@Frambhueee]

After the painting those cars can't be touched?, I mean, only has to be in they boxes to prevent the paint come off?

[@joebowditch7577]

That copper orange is beautiful

[@Larry-qh2kp]

I’ve watched every single video, and you’re still making amazing videos and getting better every time! Great job as always

[@mayhem_maniac]

Great Job on the restoration! I love the new display stand. #3dprinttheworld

[@juandiegoraabe1834]

Very cool rotating stand.

[@Midnightscreation]

Great new turntable for your cars

[@thomasofastora_3358]

Not about the car but still deserves a shout out, the now tear table looks great 👍

[@jamesmcneil3300]

Love all the videos! Was wondering, in your customs have you ever converted a solid chassis into a hinged boot/bonnet? And if so how could you create a hinge?

[@laserld7537]

Hello, I'm a great follower of your channel and I'm inspired by your work, thanks for existing

[@hotwheelsgarage1375]

I love the car's final results!

[@BoostHW]

Looks beautiful! You've inspired me to start my own restoration/custom videos 😄

[@baremetalHW]

cool.. already subed to your channel :-)

[@dmelzinga]

Beautiful paint, i never liked the look of reproduction wheels but i understand the reason behind it. it turned out nice.

[@Fictionfactoryinc]

Great job and very informative as always. Thank you. Please consider doing something with the 66 Batmobile. I would like to see you customize it with opening hood, trunk and doors. Make it more accurate to the original or add lights.

[@chrisssssss2006]

Wow. Great restoration as always!

[@XxXNightcoreQueenXxX]

I really want to see your collection of it sound really interesting to get a look at. Why this video, well I been binging on there for a couple of days now. I kinda randomly found you and fell in love with what you do.

[@OwenBuckingham11]

Nice 3d printed turn table 👌

[@skorpoolr]

It's really nice. I also like the new turn table

[@Tobysmotorshed]

Do you get your screws from the redline shop? If so which ones are they?

[@Skizzy-o3l]

I just found your channel looking around at modeling videos and I have been enjoying your videos so far that you have convinced me to subsribe to you. Watching your videos reminded me of a Matchbox car that I still have from my Childood. The car is 2006 ford crown victoria police interceptor with California Highway Patrol markings. And I was wondering if you excepted any viewers cars that you refurbish. I wont push it just wanted to mention it. Anyways love the videos keep up the work.

[@TheKingRacer007]

Amazing job! Just asking, In the past few mounts, you say that you gonna respray a 1969 redline charger due to some discoloration problems. Does this video will ever be published? :P

[@baremetalHW]

Yes.... it should be featured in the zinc plaiting video..

[@braydini1239]

I would love to see a micro machines restoration!

[@dew2667]

Great job! Would be proud to display in my sweet 16 collection!!

[@SeraphimKnight]

That new wheel-shaped lazy suzan is a nice job! You should integrate 3d printing into your videos

[@baremetalHW]

Right... I have several videos where I use 3d printers...

[@7b0ne]

Cool! i have a bunch of Matchbox cars...waiting to get a new life..any way to make a paint without a paint brush?

[@Gleamozen]

That looks good. Plating? Cool .

[@paulcapocasa4416]

Would be great if you could put some links in for supplies like the repo wheels. I have a 64 mustang convertible that has broken wheels and I'm having a hard time sourcing some.

[@friendlyneighborhoodtrampo5081]

I have a question, Looking again through my hot wheels (some were once my dad's) I found a Heavyweight Ambulance in spectraflame green, it is missing a good chunk of paint(mostly on all of the edges), the body and base have some corrosion, the axles are bent, its missing the back plastic bit, and the windshield has a crack on it, after looking online I saw a couple of them in semi used condition ( just some wear on the paint) going for some decent prices. I was wondering, how hard would it be to restore, and how much would it go for if it was restored? Also would you mind if I emailed a pic so you could see it with your own eyes?

[@michaelpaciorek4068]

i often hear you can take off dry sharpie by using a another swipe to make it wet again, how do you apply multiple coats?

[@generaldestruction3084]

Man I always love it when a new video pops up from you, I really enjoy you videos. I wish you put more videos out but I understand how much work and time goes into each video quality over quantity. Keep up the great work!!!
