Hey Derek, the Hot Wheels have actually been $1 since they came out in 1968, they have constantly cut back on manufacturing costs to keep them at that price, as you said they used to be all metal, now either the body or the base is metal, rarely both. They do have several more expensive lines made for adult collectors that are all metal. Also Matchbox are owned by Mattel these days, the Matchbox models are usually utility vehicles, like cement mixers, garbage trucks, emergency vehicles that type of thing and the Hot Wheels tend to be the muscle cars and sports case. Loving these videos BTW, I bet your lads will look back fondly on these memories in later life.

That black crud in the fuel system is the rubber fuel lines disintegrating from ethanol! I've seen that a thousand times working on old 60s/70s small engines and boat motors. Even had that issue with a brand new boat motor from China once. Ethanol can react and dissolve certain kinds of rubber, including what they used to use for fuel lines. The problem might go away if a guy runs only non-ethanol from here on out, but it depends on how much is already dissolved by now.

@@logicthought24 I'm from Illinois as well, and I know this all too well. I have to drive 30 minutes to one singular gas station that has ethanol free gas for my boat. My poor old 75 F100 has to choke on E10 all the time, because driving it that far would most likely end up like a VGG revival video... Luckily it's mostly hard lined, so it doesn't really mind, but I can't leave it for more than a few weeks without running it, or the corn gas will separate out in the bowl.

You just keep impressing me over and over Derek! You learn something on us every few minutes in your episodes. Great family values, love of country, patience, lots of humor, phenomenal knowledge of vehicles, and a gentle way of making us want to hang on your every word, wishing we could have grown up with you. Praying for you and your family and great success with your channels.
