Hot Wheels Restoration Custom Nomad ( Zinc Plating DIY )

[@DiecastResurrection]

Challenge day tomorrow with TimeRider we are doing a "Muscle Makeover" Be sure to head over there and drop some blubs! Posting at 2PM Central Daylight Time (GMT -5) Wait till you see what I got cookin.. lol kzbin.info/door/Rr_WxhUUG_A8hCuX8OkdDQ

[@chrishobbs236]

can you you challenge someone to a rat rod build i loved the look of that truck. the 55 looks great as well thanks for the video

[@CaptainHowdyOG]

Awesome!... This should be fun!...... Oh yeah.... YES!.... RATROD CHALLENGE!... Outlaw perhaps?...or better. See if you could do dual challenges. Example. You challenge Danny on a car/topic, and then it flips. He picks the subject. This way two resto heads get to try another's style. Like Ratrod challenge then Road Warrior, or whatever! The way you guys have formed a community around HW/MB etc resto is so much fun. My wife thinks I'm nuts.

[@tangohunter1548]

I really like that the challenges are for promotion of the hobbie, keep up the great moves!

[@CaptainHowdyOG]

Dude.... You're on to something. That purple looks deep. It's a highway star. 😉

[@djdresden242]

I appreciate you putting all the stuff you use in the description. I'm interested in the plating. That's neat. Thanks man

[@2meterPeter.]

Ok. This is now my most favourite car on your channel. Who doesn't love an old school bench seat!

[@DiecastResurrection]

This is your favorite? This crusty blackwall ??

[@2meterPeter.]

@@DiecastResurrection yep. Closest thing so far to an old EH Holden station wagon.

[@ronaldsteele6151]

I love your work and dedication. Some of the hot wheels car's you restored were crying for some TLC and you provided with extreme care. Keep up the good work and great videos.

[@DiecastResurrection]

Thanks Ronald, I like to always have a project going. This is pretty cheap compared to throwing money at real cars all the time :D

[@ronaldsteele6151]

@@DiecastResurrection out of curiosity what does it cost to restore a car. I used to collect but I put it aside and never got back to it. Never thought of restoring them.

When you set up the zinc plating apparatus I could hear Gene Wilder as Dr Frankenstein exclaim "Life! Give my creation LIFE!" Great job and always fun watching your work. 😁🐾🐶

[@commonsensehill372]

The finished product 😲 ... just off the chain bro. That is one sick looking Nomad. You are giving me even more inspiration. Thank you.

[@johnnyvscustomsgaragetassie.]

Now That's Zinc'n the Blubbed degree. Sweet. Jimmy would be proud.

[@TisBestinDiecast66]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooo now that's the way to revive a casting and turn out a real head turner. Thanks for the info from the UK . 'Top Job Fella' ;-)

[@strawberryhellcat4738]

Great tech video of the zinc plating process, and the car turned out sweet - purple is an excellent color for large bodied vehicles (like HOK's Burple on late 40's lead sleds). Love those Torque Thrust wheels and wide back tires too! One of these days, maybe you could try one with just a hint of color over the zinc - let the silver shine through. Poor Jimmy however, has seen some better days - think he needs to head over to Floyd's for a guy makeover. Also, 0:45 and 13:32 - you're clearly enjoying the innuendo as much as your viewers!

[@edfletcher2404]

Great job! The step by step zinc plating tutorial was awesome!

[@DiecastResurrection]

Thanks Ed, i don't think people realize how easy it really is!

[@davemuckeye]

Thank you. I've added this 'how to' in my library of how tos for future referral when I start up my own "Shakey Restorations" channel... you'll get full kudos of course... 👋🏼👌🏼👍🏼

[@DiecastResurrection]

I look forward to seeing your channel man!

[@Myserieden]

“Sometimes the dirty ones are the fun ones” you got that right.

Love your sense of humor, I laughed out loud a couple of times. Great video. Very satisfying to watch!

A true Canadian leaves his timmies on the bench 😤😤😤😤 big hello from Ontario!!

[@ryangriffith3729]

Eh from Ontario too

[@MultiJohnnyangel]

Yay! Another good video from the star of the Hot Wheels diecast resurrection show! The hard part is getting the posts drilled and tapped because the post is so thin.

[@SC-mq1eh]

zinc, FTW! and those wheels made this build!

[@LTSJR1]

That is just killer! I love Nomads one of my favorite castings. The purple and the tyres is a perfect combination. maybe some details front and back would really look great.😍😍

[@birdie399]

Must be one the best you’ve done. Thanks for the video.

[@PorkChopExpressBK]

Yes! Great work! I've been hoping for a Nomad resto. There are so many options for such a cool car.

[@hestheMaster]

Just a cool looking Nomad. That paint job is outta sight!

[@shawnkitts7516]

Great job! I have one of these Alive 55's from when I little. It's not as rough as this one but I would still like to restore it at some point. Can't wait until the next video! Blub blub blub blub!

[@danielaguero3766]

That 55 Nomad came out Badd Ass love how it looks with those wheels.

[@popeye6457]

Ohhhhhh my nomad! Simply amazing man, love that color. Great job

Absolutely beautiful restoration, Dr. DieCast.!

I think this is the best one yet. The stance and wheel size is perfect. Blub blub blub

[@carolinamodelshop2545]

Great job looks awesome and thanks for the zinc plating tutorial. I am currently working on my first Hot Wheels custom..

[@joshuaparlos3845]

Awesome color! One of my top five cars you’ve done! Nice work

[@andrewlarson6805]

Excellent choice of color that looks wonderful nice wheel swap to I do declare that gets the Blue Ribbon har har har har

[@nitrospeed2513]

That is one of the most awesome Nomads I’ve ever seen. Wow, sweet resurrection. 👍

[@DrewsCustomDiecastDrewMSmith]

That purple came out super sweet. If more guys start spraying spectra flame the way you do, we'll be seeing some truly tasty Redlines coming our way. Three blubs up all the way.

[@DiecastResurrection]

Its only a matter of time Drew.. I want to repaint all the ones Ive got on the shelf now *sigh

[@nickwiley3655]

@@DiecastResurrectionmost people think I'm crazy but try taking some 12,000 grit to one for a quick dry sand. I'm to the point that unless it's near mint, every new to me redline I add to my collection gets that done before I take any show off pictures. Only figured out that trick because I spray a lot of Createx Candy2o over polished castings. That 12,000 gets me damn near to a mirror finish before I even touch the buffing wheel.

[@wwkdiecastmore5647]

Nice job on the Nomad, looks awesome!

[@BangAsoursRex]

You can tube the axle if you want to, but leave the crusties behind. This nomad turned out shibby as fudge, I like it!!

[@DiecastResurrection]

What up JAY P!!??

[@BangAsoursRex]

Just chillin, and catching up on some of you're vids man, I'm diggin on what you did with this one!!

Awesome build and restore , loved the color that was insane rich looking.Cant go wrong with the nomad, it was one of my favorites as a kid, i had a few of them.

[@jerrybynum5702]

Sweet ride ... my "Old Man" had one of those back in the day. It met it's end at a busy intersection in Portland, Oregon, one fine evening in the mid '70s.

[@DiecastResurrection]

What a shame, those are big bucks now!

[@michaelpeel9347]

Nice, from crusty to lusty. That paint turned out sweet,damn fine custom. Thanks for sharing another amazing video.

[@recoilgaming4123]

Have to say. I love that color!! Oils of been a great car to put a small battery in back and drill out head lights and put small fiber led lights in place.

[@brianrobbins1379]

Beautiful job! The wheels are a nice choice-they help the color pop👍

[@junkyrod4265]

Nomad looks awesome! I love dem Chevys.....

[@wadefarris308]

Other than the wheels which I like this is your best pure restoration yet.

[@kennethgray2003]

Blub..Blub..Blub Looks pretty good Austin. Now I'm about ready to see you and Jimmy paint a full size car.

[@MultiJohnnyangel]

So I also want to mention about fixing the redlines that have one hood pin loose because the catch is broken. Do you recommend using the mask over the hood pin and then super gluing a piece of curved paper clip metal to hold it in place? That way the hood should still be able to go up and down.

[@DiecastResurrection]

That's probably what I would do, or else mask the hood and dap some JB Quickweld to hold it in.

[@remcarr]

That’s amazing. Great job looks incredible!!

[@edition_sixscalediecastmod6084]

[@woodrowdallas408]

Damn I remember when I was a kid I used to take my hot wheels apart chance out wheels and scape all the paint off then repaint them with my mom's finger nail polish. Lol. Hot wheels restoring came along ways some of you do get serious about it. Lol.. that's cool love the videos..

[@michaelwright185]

Do you have a part number or description of those axle tubes?

[@markhills3922]

Nice! Just 1 question. How durable is the paint finish seeing as there is no primer and being painted directly onto bright zinc?

[@R1chardB1ngham]

Great as ever. Does the zinc plate help with cracks, noticed there was one in the right rear pillar at the roof before you started. Also have you thought of trying to use a small diameter drill through the axle tabs to fit new axles, rather than cutting a slot in the base?

[@onlyrs8111]

I just got the same plating set up for my cars based on your videos. Do you use the same vinegar for multiple platings or use fresh every-time? I plated my first two cars today and the turned out great and the source zinc roofing material has now dissolved into the bottom of the container.

[@garytru563]

That is a great paint job!!!!!!
