I didn't know there were such a market for these cars, but seeing how much attention the restoration process gets, there has to be. Too bad I gave away all my toy cars, but maybe they'll eventually find their way into the hands of a caring collector or restorator.

Why would somebody dislike this? I'll assume some dislikes were not on purpose, missclicks while hitting the like button. This is the work of an artist and expert craftsman, bringing back something more than one took for garbage or worthless. It doesn't matter if is "just a toy" : the time put on this, meticulous attention to detail, extreme dedication and perseverance turns these restorations in something akin to what you see in museums around the world. Say what you will, this man and his toy cars are on another league.

[@AMPROEngineering]

I have used a body filler on real cars that was called “all metal”. This was a bit of a misnomer as it was simply not all metal but a mixture of aluminum powder and a paste. However when properly mixed with the Hardner the results looked like a bare piece of metal instead of pink putty. I only used it in very small helpings to fix minor imperfections and this may help you to fill Some of the dimples in the cars body.

[@kruleworld]

or just use normal bondo and then paint it silver base-coat before spectra paint. This is what we do in the model building world since the cars are made of plastic, not metal

[@jnrincorperated]

Evil Ash bondo on classic cars is very scary, NEVER use it! My buddy paid 9000 dollars for a 1971 ford torino that was a gt body but swapped with a 460. After he sandblasted it he found out that 68 percent of the rockers were repaired with bondo and so was the front left and both rear fender wells. Cost him 15k more just to redo the body!

[@andrewkaminskas7721]

jacob stebbing bondo is a name brand its like calling cotton swabs, q-tips. its called body filler and used in all automotive repair industries wether you think its evil or not. unless you are hanging all new sheet metal you will never metal straighten every project that comes through your bays.

I think this kind of restoration is priceless. Given a fair hourly rate , just the several hours of sanding and online part purchasing . A restore like this can be easily in the order of hundreds.

[@two-face1041]

Alan Ray Locklear he doesn’t

[@kjamison5951]

Alan Ray Locklear Why not pick up some cheap job lot of die cast cars on EBay and, following the examples on this channel, learn to restore them yourself? You may think you don’t have the patience or the skill but it’s all practice, practice, practice. I use rattle cans/auto body aerosols to repaint my cars and it’s a sometimes tedious process. I have stripped new paint from a model up to three times because it’s not right. However, I stand by my work and I enjoy the time I invest in the models and seeing them as they might have appeared coming out of the factory. I have also moved into reproduction boxes to accompany them. I’ve even bought a 3D printer to learn how to make parts that are currently unavailable from reproduction suppliers. I am learning new techniques and honing my skills. As a result, I know if I sold a model, I would get a return on the materials used and a little profit but not on the time I have spent in the labour. It’s a channel like this one that gives the rest of us inspiration to reach for a new goal. AFAIK, baremeralHW doesn’t restore Redlines as a business. You may try sending your Redlines and asking if thy can be restored in a video but you’d be relinquishing them to the channel and knowing that they were restored. Hence my suggestion to do it yourself. Good luck. It’s a great feeling to look at something you’ve restored yourself.

I'm actually curious to know what you'd charge to restore/touch-up a car or two for someone! My grandmother passed away at the beginning of July and she collected a TON of Barbies, Hot Wheels and other such toys. Some of the Hot Wheels are ones that I grew up playing with and as such they were given to me after she passed, but since I was an idiot kid I wasn't exactly gentle with them XD

[@Henriong]

I recon that it’s free as he gets money for his videos,

[@SpiritBear12]

I reckon not considering the money he has to spend on supplies to restore a car. Paint, new wheels, possibly decals, windshields and other supplies, it all costs. Then he would have to mail it back to the owner, more money. I seriously doubt that he makes much money off of KZbin.
