Custom Hot Wheels Candy Striper 55 Chevy Bel Air Gasser

[@bokke7u7]

Without a doubt: this is the best channel on KZbin. Never a video "for the views", always honost , even the flaws ( not fails ) are shown. You set the benchmark. Every video is a jewel to watch. I wonder why you didn't get the diamond KZbin button already. Ffing well deserved! Best wishes for this year, hope to enjoy your channel for a long time. Greetings and a bow from the Netherlands.

[@dsethsmith]

hear, hear

[@SparkyNarwhal]

Dilly, dilly!

[@themitchmachine]

Agreed. Diecast Resurrection is on par. Both of these guys are smart, witty and good at what they do.

[@JimCars]

Check my videos and my restorations, hehehehe

[@yungkobi]

Great comment, so true

[@speedy7892]

You need to make this a series Baremetal. Recreating RLC cars out of Mainlines

[@CJOMEDIA]

Speedy YES

[@MidnightSky69]

Yes but most rlc castings are unique and not based on mainline castings therefore impossible to re-create using mainlines..

[@RisingManson]

I’d love to see a second more accurate reproduction, I vote yes on a second video!

[@svILLUSION]

Agree

[@baileynolan7766]

Yes he should do another one that’s a great car to the different designs on

[@dewexdewex]

Of all the toy car restorers, you are the most highly skilled. Your simple, gimmick free presentation style is the best. Thank you.

[@michaellubatti1534]

This is easily my favorite KZbin channel right now. I learn so much in every video about something I never knew I was interested in

[@cpearson7372]

Wow! The decals result, shows just how steady your hands are, and how GREAT your restoration/customization talent is 😃 I just had to come back , and re-watch some of your old videos. We finally found a rancher style home, and we moved into it, this June(2022). It has a workshop, in the basement!!! As soon, as I finish unpacking and setting it up, I plan to restore and customize diecast vehicles, with our 11yr old daughter. She's super excited, too 🙂

[@tristanmahler4471]

Very cool change of pace video. I'm hoping you do more custom work like this (even if it is to imitate another car), as much as I love your restorations. You have a lot more skills than just basic strip-paint-finish, and you're a great channel to learn from.

[@GuitardedAndBroke]

Looks great even if it's not exact to the RLC release. 😀

[@Fiddlemaster56]

This is some of your finest work so far. The quality on this looks nearly spot on from the actual Candy Striper. Extremely well done work.

[@JohnKelly-rz4qi]

I love this casting and you made it better. I am glad to see another video where you sand and improve the casting. Also great work on the finish polish instead of sanding the zinc. Awesome improvement. I noticed the sanding marks on the last green car so this was a nice change that taught me alot. Awesome work, awesome channel. Thank you!

[@PaoloMariMacaraigApoloAmri]

I vote yes! You should try making it into a series. Pretty excited with your new equipments too! Will wait for the next bell!

[@williamaviles2647]

This is the best 55 Chevy I've seen. The details are much better than original from Mattel. Every time I watch a video I see something better than the last one. Great Job!!

[@ClawBoss]

I really enjoyed this video. Very nice work 👍🏼 The car came out great even if it wasn’t perfect. 10/10

[@AudioWizard98]

Hi I never thought I would see you in one of these videos

[@kohlgray2298]

@@AudioWizard98 same bro

[@Hjjjddhjiurffcvb]

@@kohlgray2298 same i didnt realize he liked hot wheels

[@blam3329]

I wish theses videos were longer - I could watch a body be sanded, plated and painted for a good while. It’s like Bob Ross all over again.

[@albertmunoz6952]

THANK YOU!! Love the time and hard work you put in. May your passion lead you to glory. Thank you again!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@CrabOfDoom]

Custom wheels and perhaps htf replacement parts sound like some great possibilities. Would also like to see another go at this car, if & when you're up for one. Nothing wrong with having a unique take on an existing exclusive, but it's also satisfying to know that your skills have developed enough that you can nail the exact look you're after.

[@boerharms2209]

Wow, that is epic!! Love the colour and the decals! Looks just like the Candy Striper.. really cool, and a nice and relatively cheap way to get an exclusive car. I'd really like to see another video like this.

[@Rollormotor]

You did a great job, most people could not pick out a custom candy striper over the RLC if it was sitting in a collection of gassers

[@TheKingRacer007]

Astonishing work! This is a great way to reproduce a very sought after car for much cheaper.

[@truckerswife5060]

I dont collect cars but I really enjoy your videos. Great work.

[@WP2048GT]

Didn't know these types of cars existed! Super cool to see a model converted to be like it's special release counter part!

[@russellpeffer7736]

I don't have a personal interest in doing what you do, but I'm always excited to watch a new video when it comes out. You never dissapoint and your craftsmanship and attention to detail is astonishing! Thanks for the content and keep it up!

[@BPBomber]

Of course we’d like to see you try again! The more videos, the better! I still think you’re the Bob Ross of this type of content

[@daverage4729]

Looks fantastic. Its little differences make it unique too.

[@kated4124]

That requires lots of talent and is very cool with all the details you put on the car

[@JDGooch-wp1yk]

Very kickass. Increasing your skill level, a resin 3D printer? Your cars are gonna start looking insane. Very kickass indeed. Awesome video, thank you always for sharing.

[@jefferygawron7638]

I think it is cool that it is a little different so it doesn't look like a counterfeit. Great work.

[@luiscarlospassarini1566]

Congratulations! You did a great job. I admire the way you do these things. Great solutions.

[@LWBII00]

Admirable that you admit you aren't comfortable doing certain skills/techniques. Most men think they know how to do everything.

[@PritchardCraftFTW]

Nice generalization.

[@kronos6948]

I'd definitely like to see a 2nd video on this.

[@weekendwarriordude2790]

Yes! You got a resin 3D printer to print wheels! Can’t wait to see that! Love your videos-always learn something new from you 😎👍🏻

[@diecast_MikeEspo]

Again great work , cool car , cool video . Mike Espo...

[@johngennusa1317]

I like to see all the steps, such as stripping etc. I understand that it adds to the video, but I don't mind a longer video. I enjoy watching you work. Keep up the good work!

[@babyfacedassasin4418]

Nice job on the candy striper..looking forward to your future works..thanks for sharing.

[@dew2667]

Car looks great and great video presentation, always look forward to the latest project!!!

[@SweeneyDunston]

Looks super nice. I feel like the inverted color stripes give it a uniqueness.

[@danielbritton8588]

Dude! You live on a plain far from my capabilities. Of course we would all love to see your second attempt. I cannot believe people are spending almost a grand for a hot wheels on ebay! There is not one die cast car anywhere that I think merits that outrageous price. Collectible or not. I love your painting & buffing stuff though. Masterful.

[@brookhaven86]

Will literally watch any video you upload. So yeah sure do it again! It will be a joy to watch even for a second time.

[@pauly7218]

That was a fun video and a departure from your standard board of fare. I like it. A nice addition to your videos....

[@scarecrow456]

Great job. As always, thanks for sharing. Looking forward to future videos.

[@PritchardCraftFTW]

Can't wait to see what you do in the future, you should definitely come back to this once you feel like you're ready to tackle it again!

[@jeffkrug5541]

It still looks amazing you are extremely talented. I vote yes for a second car make over.

[@kodiakfamily8032]

Awesome video. I love seeing all of your techniques!

[@jabelsjabels]

That pink looks insaaaaane! Really cool!

[@RBweb24]

Yes love to see a 2nd attempt! Any video you post I'll watch amazing work.

[@strange-universe]

the ol' "real job" syndrome. Even though not an exact match, the work you did on this is real nice.

[@williamaviles2647]

I have a blue 55 and (2)57 Chevys, one red and one with stripped paint. With this gasser you gave me good ideas. Thank you. 👍

[@shadowbirdstudio9035]

what a beautiful job. yes, more please!

[@mitchellpawlina586]

Excellent work as usual. Definitely a yes vote for the second video on this car. Always a pleasure, can’t wait for the next video. Keep up the excellent work.

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

Absolutely awesome job on this Gasser 55 Chevy Sir.

[@x-90]

God dang I thought you got the real deal in the thumbnail! Just goes to show how good you are!

[@f12mnb]

another great video - take your time, quality is amazing and so while I appreciate the frequency, the completeness and wonderful smooth editing is worth the time.

[@kobus9795]

I don't know why but ur Videos are so relaxing to me

[@Equalist.]

Simply, The most 'perfect' video I have seen on the net today. Great job sir.

[@pablovilchez2441]

Quedó muy perfecto 👌 ese Bel Air Gasser Drag 55' 🏁

[@jrtist831]

Sensational job on this piece!

[@dragbusdave]

Looks fantastic! I would definitely dig seeing you do the next version with the white roof. Not sure why I missed the Candy Striper at the time but I did and I remember it being like a hundred bucks and thinking "that's way too much" well I wish I had jumped on one as I am sure many of us do. Your video makes me wish I was even half as talented as you are with an airbrush and well your whole process of zinc plating etc. Just awesome! Thanks for sharing!

[@holnrew]

That pink is incredible. I don't mind if you ever repeat things you've already done in these videos, I just enjoy watching the process

[@madgoatking]

I stumbled on your channel a while back and while I am a collector it’s mostly stuff that interests me from a automotive standpoint and the only one that I may someday try a restoration on is my 1970 Lesney Mini Cooper. I watch your videos as while it’s cool to see the restoration process it’s more of something I watch to relax. Bud, your delivery could put me to sleep and that ain’t a bad thing

[@baremetalHW]

lol.... A lot of people contact me to say they play my videos to go to sleep at night... Glad I could help.

[@SpartanA31xx]

What an awesome job you did. Seriously, just beautiful!

[@ketiljsb]

With the moulds, they probably don't use different modes. They probably sort the best casting out in the quality control.

[@ricksaylor7918]

Man you do great work, ive learned so much off of your vids thank you very much for showing us how you work magic with these cars.

[@50goingon15]

Try it again if that's what you want to do. Guaranteed we will enjoy watching. Thanks for another great video.

[@digitalnaf1907]

No complaints here friend. I love your work. The car looks amazing.

[@geoffersongeofferies477]

I like it better than the other 20,000 RLCs. And, you got that coveted number 00001! Nice work!

[@wp-aiseo]

Yes, would definitely like to see you do another!

[@Tra5hpanda082]

Dude, that is sick! You nailed it.

[@jimkai5413]

Paint job looks awesome

[@Justin-kv8iy]

Lovely. I'd watch the redo, definitely

[@donaldswink6259]

Absolutely beautiful job.

[@CMgraffix]

very nice, and thanks for sharing your tips, gives the RLC car more cudos to all the effort you need to go through

[@birdie399]

Brilliant work! I like to see all your videos regardless of the subject. Thanks for sharing your skills.

[@JomasterTheSecond]

I always love seeing someone reproduce hard to find figures/collectables so this is a pretty nice vid!

[@daftboy11]

That was an awesome build sir !!!

[@sidpeterson8432]

Sweeeeeetness. You are a true master. I 2nd the motion that this is the best channel on KZbin. Looking forward to the second go round on the candy striped.

[@seanrobison1782]

Awesome job, I think yours looks better than the original.

[@paulbelanger7383]

Well done, Zack. Cheers from Vancouver BC Canada 🍻

[@duanelyons6534]

That's pretty awesome. I think this is one of my favorite cars you have done.

[@ramtrucks3518]

Beautiful incredibly hard to tell an authentic one from the custom one

[@fexdeth]

Awesome, that looks really good, I cant wait for the next custom

[@mlhellhound2276]

Man ol man you're a stone cold beast. Very very good job.

[@jakeandzack5763]

Watching the process of these customizations and restorations is oddly satisfying to me. Do you agree?

[@graphitepencil]

Great stuff. I vote for a second video. And a Happy New Year to you.

[@mariozee899]

superb bo55ku.....excellence make over and paint job..it really nice.

[@martindaredare]

Great video , good luck with the new equipment you're getting.

[@Pc_98_Fan]

This is the best tutorial to how make exclusive and special cars for poor peoples

[@garyslentzii2796]

Stunning transformation

[@gpravenelle]

I sure enjoy watching your video's.

[@robertshop391]

Man that is nice I don't care about none of the imperfections can you build me 1 will pay top dollar this is a work of art you are the man bro

[@crzyoldmn]

Beautiful job, the car looks great. I know that when you decide to take another shot it will be even better. Looking forward to your next video.

[@alexwolf9778]

Yeah man give it another shot! Thanks for the video

[@Air-Striegler]

Try it again, Sam! 😆 I just love watching your work.

[@sethharper1952]

The hot pink spectraflame from the redline shop actually says not to use the hardener with it. Just for future paint jobs. I do believe this is the reason for your paint mishap. I also had similar problems on my first attempt with hot pink. Although, it has worked well with hardener. Just a thought. I appreciate your videos, and you make the best on youtube in my opinion. Also the reason i restore, and customize my own.

[@joewitzke1154]

i found a damaged 1969 heavy chevy in my old toy box. it has no roof, so thats a lot of damage, and i thought that would be a cool custom car to see done. i thought of doing it myself but i figured you would have a much better go of making it look better than i could. best part is its got the sharpie that you love so much on it already . contact me and let me know if you're interested. would love to see it on the channel

[@Duke_Togo_G13]

I love this car! It looks fantastic!

[@randynovick7972]

I really like what you did. It's not an impostor, and the quality of the finish is great. Is it just me, or is there a subtle tangerine undertone in the paint? Love the result. Thanks for sharing this.

[@davehollamon1985]

Awsume job! i had already planned on trying this build, & am Sure now i've seen yours! thanks!

[@alexanderkurokawa8834]

I would be super excited to see a 'remastered' candy striper you mentioned in the video!

[@guitarhole]

Make another one if you want to but , you did a great job on this . Think about this . There are alot of rare hot wheels out there but , yours are one of a kind . I'd think in the future your cars may very well be worth much more than the rarest of the rare.

[@Anth230]

Would love to see you do another ...great job ...👍👍
