Redline Restoration: Hot Wheels 1970 Swingin' Wing

In this video I restore a Hot Wheels 1970 Swingin' Wing donated by Grant Dean Fuller.

[@LAKster]

start of the video "How bad can the wing be? I think it might look pretty neat with a clean wing on it" End of the video "OHNOWHY"

[@BuzzcutGtr]

There will never be a better assessment than ^this^

[@basicbits6244]

It surely is a cornball design choice.

[@sheilaolfieway1885]

painted to look the same as the body it might be better.

[@onedeadsaint]

the algorithm brought me here, and I'm glad it did! I've never watched a Hot Wheels restoration before, but this was quite entertaining!

[@Smurphenstein]

That wing was a disappointment. It looked like a cheap roof rack carrying a sheet of plywood. What were they thinking? Love the paint.

[@bradleyj.fortner2203]

The slide-out engine is very odd too. Strange car.

[@baremetalHW]

@@bradleyj.fortner2203 lol... they pulled the idea right out of there rear end...literally

[@Smurphenstein]

@@baremetalHW I am thinking with the spectraflame and designs that there could have been illicit substances consumed in the Hot Wheels design department during that era.

[@mercoid]

I also love the paint job. If it were me doing a custom, I’d have used the holes in the body meant for the wing to maybe 3D print some mat black air scoops.

[@joshirabin]

Dude chill it's the 70s

[@nathanielputralucky8533]

Nothing better than a monday afternoon eating pizzas and watching HW restorations.

[@opheliamorrison7675]

"Done right the cap should fire off into the ether to be found by the Roomba which will complain bitterly" 🤣😂

[@plantedbasedman9845]

Song text material right there

[@TAD050486]

Sticking out like a sore thumb does not even cover how bad the wing looks. What a bad idea. Great job as usual, especially the windshield.

[@bopaintsminis]

These are my favorite. Make liberal use of the electro-polisher and electro-plater. Thumbs up.

[@archiebunker6059]

I have watched a lot of videos of people restoring these cars, this guy is a professional.

[@sohamsengupta6470]

That oxidation looks oxidized. Best way to describe a ton of oxidation here.

[@georgeshelton6281]

The cracked windshield could've been replaced.

[@S4LtyTrIcKs]

Paint does look fantastic

[@kylejscheffler]

You've really come a long way in your presentation. Some of your earlier videos were very stilted, but now you seem to be much more comfortable in your delivery. Also I like the progress in your writing. The addition of more casual references and jokes it's really bringing it to the next level! I do enjoy your voice, you've got a good tone and diction. Keep it up, I'm waiting to see how you progress in the next few years! Also, I'd love to see more larger/detailed models being restored or customized!

[@baremetalHW]

Lucky you the next video is on a much larger car... thanks for the kind comments!

[@shrimpssnails7260]

Ii find his voice and the restoration very soothing when on headphones.

[@PatGilliland]

That wing does nothing good for the car - what were the designers thinking? Great restoration.

[@BRY0NZ]

Pat G that wing is ugly!

[@PaulRestorer]

Good job, best wishes from Poland.

[@ericfording3556]

They weren't thinking.

[@admiralicywolffeyt1465]

That wing would look good on a go cart

[@kjamison5951]

The wing is … words fail me. The rest of the restoration was pure unadulterated joy! That is a beautiful transformation!

[@fynbo1007]

The wing is out of mind to describe, love your diorama, makes your car look much better. Very beautiful restoration, thank you for sharing your amazing job. God bless you and your family

[@PinkAndOrangeAndGold]

I never saw the original car, so I didn't know what the shape of the wing would be. My disappointment is immeasurable.

[@joshsmith4488]

PinkAndOrangeAndGold same 🙁

😂

[@saktimanganda9397]

and my day is ruined

[@JD-te9tj]

Excellent job as usual, I'm 57 and remember most of the cars from childhood. Back when dirt was fairly new, ha ha😂🤣😄😎

[@thatsdavid2u]

Nothing better that seeing an awesome redline restoration on a crappy Monday morning! As always, great work!

[@baremetalHW]

Thanks!! hope your Monday gets better!

[@tavinmj]

Thanks for showing the final result for an extended period at the end. You knocked it out of the park.

[@owenb9370]

Looks like a Splittin Image. I love this video. It gets back to your roots.

[@YannyPQ]

I love this one a lot. It's a blast from the the past. Thanks

[@martindownes1907]

Loving the humour that is creeping in...Good job!

[@iurabordei933]

You really know how to make them look good. Great job!

[@HawaiiTalks]

Absolutely fascinating! Thanks for the in-depth restoration videos. Looks incredible!

[@bassmandanmartin3700]

Beautiful paint job!!! Outstanding restoration!

[@knedy]

Yeah the wing is awful. Not awful enough to take away how great that paint job was though! I'm really looking forward to see more of that!

[@georgeshelton6281]

This is also a very rare sports car, I've never seen anything like it.

[@randynovick7972]

Stunning! Really great. Delighted with the results.

[@zaca3256]

I'm glad this showed up in my newsfeed. Not really into hotwheels but I'm an avid hobbyist for classic fantasy miniatures. So I guess I can appreciate the work that goes into this.

[@jonaqwerty]

Amazing work, one of the best ones so far.

[@pbrady187]

This turned out very nice. The paint was very good. Thanks for sharing.

[@ph0n1k]

What a brilliant paint job, nailed that to perfection.

[@gadgettvcars9555]

Really Nice job👌👌 Peace ✌️

[@joshuuaaaa440]

Love this , great transformation and colour choice dude !

[@davidneilson3508]

Turned out fantastic 👍👍

[@Pozer714]

I remember this car as a child, never saw it with the fugly wing though. Wings in racing only started in 1968 so maybe seemed cooler way back in 1970. Good job as usual. Amazing! Love it!

[@gagewells5616]

Always love getting a notification that you have uploaded!

[@westlylewis1]

I never would have imagined that I would have loved this channel so bloody much.... AMAZING WORK!!!!

[@jamesryan5181]

Amazing paint job. Nice work 👍

[@jakeakhtar9424]

That paint looks incredible, great job!

[@erinboatguy]

Stunning restoration job !!!!

[@everafterinkable]

The paint turned out beautiful. Well done.

[@mariopalma7650]

As always, amazing paint job

[@matchboxmark8191]

Great job! When I restore, I like to keep what came with it, in this case, the wing. Nice choice in keeping it! You rock!

[@jaymean44]

Adore the colour! Beautiful as always ❤️

[@phecez]

This is one of the overall best, most interesting, most informative videos on this channel, and that's saying something.

[@stom5292]

paint is perfect, one of the best you've done and I've seen them all!

[@clairequigley2904]

watching this was great! as a kid i played with all my dads old hot wheels and matchbox cars from the 60s and 70s, and this was definitely one of them. now my niece plays with them :)

[@yorgeabouttstudio]

These videos are so relaxing.

[@jeffhreid]

That came out great. That wing is crazy, really 60’s mod. Super video! Thanks

[@bobbailey5072]

Great build, buddy. While I now follow a few other HW restorer/remodelers, I think I lean heavier on you for processes and professional results. You have renewed my interest in 1:64 scale and I am grateful for that. Thank you.

[@udorechner6846]

I love those now vintage cars. They are very interesting as ist the actual restoration. The result looks awesome. Nice work.

[@ryanbarker5217]

i love the look of those paints. great job.

[@viktorhirsch3866]

I love your humour :) Keep up the good work.

[@dougrabbit8837]

Im 57 and had lots of redlines as a kid. I just don't remember this model...humm Beautiful work you did on restoring it.

[@jacobs.9797]

I enjoyed the jokes and funny comments! Really added a lot to the video for me! The paint job/finish looks amazing! Keep up the great work!

[@ultimaetsolder]

Wow. Great quality work... Just excellent.

[@pacula33]

Been missing your videos.. glad to see you pop up on my list..

[@billythekid5996]

I think that’s one of your best restorations :)

[@fudge5598]

Can we have a full tour of all of your cars that you have restored? Would love to see the collection!

[@markkenyon4855]

As always brilliant work.

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

Awesome restoration Sir !!!!!!!

[@eljefe3060]

I love your videos! You make it look so easy!

[@michaellubatti1534]

I can’t describe how much I love this channel lol. The wing is kinda growing on me. I wasn’t familiar with this car and didn’t know what the wing was supposed to look like initially, but it’s unique. Something I would’ve liked as a kid. Great job as always!

[@vincediesil]

This is one of your funniest videos. I appreciate your humor.

[@smilesfourmiles2714]

Beautifully done🔥🔥🔥

[@theoncefamous6363]

How is it he’s the one KZbinr who’s content is actually good and worth a watch this guy needs a million subs

[@9scottman]

Heck of a job Man,Awesome job as always

[@genekelley7579]

Great Skill Set and Narration 👍 I Love these Videos👍😊 My grandsons have begun playing with my old Hot Wheels Cars. Unfortunately I wished they looked more like this Swing Wing. GG👍😊

[@green_bay_cheesehead1248]

Very nice restoration as always.

[@Brian-Burke]

The finish you got here is one of the best you've ever done. That wing just ruins an otherwise great design. Fantastic job on this one.

[@TheCarDemotic]

Man, you put lots of time into making these episodes. Keep up the awesome work!

[@nightowlcop]

Another Excellent & entertaining video!

[@eastcoastandloveit3857]

Awesome video as always . Two big tbumbs up 👍🏻👍🏻

[@burningb2439]

Nice job..loved playing with these on my Hot Wheel track as a kid..

[@ilovedogs7224]

I liked the way your paint job turned out 😊👍🏻

[@canuckyank82]

Amazing work! Thank you!

[@robertmcdonald5590]

Love the car have learned a lot watching your videos

[@jonbennett3946]

Ihave to say the paint on this one looks awesome...... the best you've done so far!

[@Ogma3bandcamp]

The Godfather is back. Excellent.

[@seansmith1303]

Excellent job as always. Interesting to hear all the little decisions that go into one of your restorations. I had not seen one of these cars with the swingin' wing. I was expecting something like a big spoiler, like the aftermarket kits you see on Hondas. This was basically a canopy tent affixed to an otherwise sleek, modern design. I think even the original designer had regrets once the car was in production!

[@stevecook7984]

Beautiful restoration.

[@josa1999turbo]

Amazing work man!! Love it :)

[@briankelly4830]

Beautiful job!!

[@lincoln3x7]

Stunning resto! Would like to see what an aftermarket minimalist wing would look like, thinner, lower profile. Also, I like the video mistakes with explanation... its humanizes the whole effort and lets us know its not just a machine cranking these out. Cheers!

[@k.n.o.3558]

The restoration of the Roomba after it chokes on wheels will be fun. I started this video by thinking that the car was ugly, but ended deciding that it is cool in its uniqueness. The color ended up very cool, and the wing adds to its quirky design in a neat way. Thank you.😎

[@kevinboughter4031]

Amazing work

[@sanjiiichigeki]

like always, doing a excelent job

[@hernanhenriquez6778]

I would have preferred it in the shiny silver. It looked really nice

[@BasTHoorn]

Awesome restoration

[@TheWickedArcade]

These videos are so addicting!!!

[@SEGAdude95]

Awesome transformation.. it turned out sweet.. :)

[@gabrielsolamente]

Super ultra amazing great job! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@anthonymicele8897]

I. Love. That. Wing!!!! It's so period correct and outrageous. It balances out the design of the car because there is nothing else behind the windshields. When I was a kid collecting Hot Wheels, I was drawn to the cars that had such "gimmicky" doodads like this. Please keep it attached. It looks outta this world.

[@RingtailCafe]

I have zero interest in cars, or toy cars and their restoration so I'm not sure why this video came up in my suggestions. However, on a whim I clicked on it and gave the video a chance. I just have to say...wow. The amount of love and effort that you put into this and the surprising depth of transformation between where you started and where it wound up was truly impressive. As someone who is an outsider to this hobby/world/process, I have to say I gained a newfound respect for it, and your work! Well done!

[@soupsandwch]

Pretty much same

[@MadMathMike]

Loved the bit about the cap wheel shooting off into the ether. :-P I love these videos that show pretty much every step. Thanks, and nicely done! :-D

[@DannysDiecastDisasters]

Nice job mate. I can't say I've seen one of these before. Looks like it belongs on Thunderbirds or Joe 90

[@Jamesjunkers]

Hey Danny!

[@diecast_MikeEspo]

The car is awesome , awesome work , cool video as always . Mike Espo...

[@misoman]

I’m with you, that wing is hideous! ;) nice vid, very well done!

[@kirbybrady3397]

The only thing I can say about the wing is it reminds me of the Star Trek landing craft and about the right time frame. You are a master at the Hot Wheels! It would be really awsome if you would give us a glimpse at your collection. Thanks for all the lesson you have taught us.

[@bradpittiful7288]

great job...i love the wing!

[@ARob-bt4dr]

This model turned out beautiful.
