Nice custom Taxi Danny, well done!....Bill

[@mitchellpawlina586]

Excellent job, I love the way you detailed the rear tail lights, with the chrome around the lenses.Its Details like that, that make it pop.Keep up the good work.

[@JimmiePorterAtStuartArts]

Enjoyed this one...the decal design work was interesting...

[@paulwood3131]

Great restoration. Looking good.

[@michaelmccue72]

Loved those Crack-Ups as a kid, and I guarantee this one looks 100x better than it did new. Great work as always Danny!

[@GoFindAsafeSpace]

This vid brought back instant memories of my childhood that I completely forgot about! Anyone else remember these crack ups coming with a play set?

[@420chaiguy8]

Thats why were here man...

[@shinobi1kenobi75]

I didn't get mine in a set. They were sold individually. Do you remember key cars? They were cool. Also He Man had battle damage armor.

[@pauly7218]

You did a really great job on a cool, unique car....

[@bigcharliesmodelgarage296]

Great looking restoration

[@michaelrzeszuto777]

Sharp & crisp .😎 Great job.

[@easyontheeyes78]

That looks awesome! I have always wanted the police car version of the TAXI

[@Daud76]

I had two of these crack ups. One given to me by my older brother when he outgrew toy cars. Not sure what happened to them. Who else remembers Hot Wheels that changed colour when coming into contact with water?

[@Daud76]

@some random guy Really? I not seen them at toy shops around where I am for easily over a decade.

[@albertmosesjr9869]

I do

[@LEGOJediMaster]

Go to a Meijer

[@isaacsrandomvideos667]

David Snell get em on amazon. Or random stores

[@TristanWilder]

What a flashback. I had four or so of these. Damage for the side, front, back and even the top. That one with the top was a sfi-fi looking sportcar and a dome that flipped to a smashed dome. Way cool toys and hours of fun. Great job in restoring this taxi and cheers from Germany!

[@Ogma3bandcamp]

Awesome job Danny. Marty would have been proud of that animation at the end.

[@wolftmfg]

Innasoul Φ Music Φ I love it 😄👍

[@rogerbradley7509]

Had a few of those when I was a kid. These and stompers were my favorite. Thanks for bringing back some of my childhood!

[@pedrodelacabra1855]

Wow, yeah! Stompers were so much fun! I loved my Stomper 4x4!

[@seanquinn4783]

I Had completely forgot about these! I had two of these from a yard sale when I was little kid. They made the best bad guys car for epic police chases in the sandbox.

[@jayj2day]

These cars were awesome! Brings back great memories. 1985 was a great year for toys.

[@westonward735]

That was quite a change. Good job.

[@jordan5607]

Incredible work!!!!

[@robertgibbs7513]

Great work again as always the beater cars are the best to customize

[@OtaconEmmerich]

I had a white Taxi! I loved this car as a kid! I liked the flip damage a lot.

[@OtaconEmmerich]

Yeah, I think I had a later 80's model.

[@charlesmclaughlin2281]

I had some of those when I was a kid. Wow memories. Awesome job. Thanks for sharing

[@BrandonFeldmeier]

I have the police car, still in tip top shape, but many of mine are not. Never even considered restoring my HW or MB cars before. Very cool! Well done!

[@jameslohr4943]

Nice job! Loved these crack ups as a kid.

[@zenunla]

Think I saw that guy driving around NYC last month... 😜 Another great job, Danny! Love the final animation 😄

[@nathanobrien6875]

You've really done the old girl justice Danny! Love the wheels and the decals. She never looked so good.

[@DannysDiecastDisasters]

Thanks bud. Only thing slowing me down on those GLs is finding number decals for the doors!

[@ericgaudet4497]

Wow great job with the Hot Wheels car 👍 l have the 🚕 and the police car 🚓 when I was younger .

[@TheLexiconDevils]

Sweet 👍 Found the cop version at the markets yesterday.Still works too.

[@DannysDiecastDisasters]

Lucky

[@natr0n]

Taxi...Very nice restore.

[@pedrodelacabra1855]

Better than OEM! The wheels are boss & the decals are super sweet! Nice action scene at the end. I'm glad you took a, well deserved, break from building a diorama. Fun restore.

[@waynerafferty1048]

Ah can't believe it I remember going to my favourite toy shop as a kid in 1984 and getting this model and the car that had front end damage. Never thought I'd see them again, thanks and great work. Greetings from bangor northern Ireland

[@martindaredare]

Nice one Danny ,that turned out great.

[@joecarson8281]

Dan, great transition! Took 3 looks to find it! Great editing.

[@johnkelley9877]

It looks nice and clean now! The new wheels look so much better then the original ones and the crash movie was great.

[@aldo4908]

Wonderful job!

[@TheFokker03]

it's more a toy,Danny,than a representation of anything like a 'yellow cab'.i've given it a like,mainly because i like your resto's.

[@knifecraze2.087]

These look awesome!

[@Tiger351]

Top job Danny! Had a few of these as a kid, it was pretty common to see broken pillars and windscreens these cars even when they were only a few weeks old so to see one still intact 30+ years later is almost a miracle.

[@DannysDiecastDisasters]

Yeah that unsupported side pillar. I'm amazed that little wire was still in such great shape!

[@SmithMrCorona]

"Take them somewhere in the 80s - the mall, wall street... I dunno" That was pretty funny

[@kevinboughter4031]

Great work as always excellent video

[@forgotn42]

This is great! I actually just remembered that this existed and was looking for some on eBay. I had the fire chief one and loved it (my grandpa was a fire chief, so it felt like his car lol).

[@metalwaves4154]

I think i had this one man so many memories

[@maryjeanjoshua7345]

I love the wheels and the yellow you chose. Awesome job once again sir!

[@rubytheater6330]

Beautiful art

[@MatchboxResurrection]

Great job as always Danny

[@DieCastRestos]

Great build man, never come across these types of HW before. Wheels and decals are a big upgrade!

[@jonoedwards4195]

Unreal! Your Work is like Chucking a Sicky an Mom's gone out for the day! Take Me, Taking Us,,There Dude.

[@tomcumberland6360]

Good job Danny 👍

[@davesempire8287]

Did great job. You the first i have seen to restore a crash up. I have many of these. Lots of fun

[@moisesvega9698]

Cool crazy taxy. Quedo bien lindoo

[@zartan7779]

I loved these cars probably still have mine too

[@TheHorsebox2]

Love that. The crash panel was a great feature.

[@MidIslandCustomDiecast]

Cool man, I have a handful of these and I want to start restoring a few. Thanks for sharing how the mechanism works.

[@seanrobison1782]

That Taxi really cracked me up, top job!!

[@diecastdungeon8970]

Always liked these crazy things, but never bought one. Nice bright paint and great decals. VERY NICE Danny ! 5☆'s !!

[@mr.sideburns2031]

I also had a few of these as a kid, it came out a ton better than I thought it could. Wish they looked that nice in the first place.

[@MrCpolzin]

You videos are addictive mate. Thanks Danny, awesome work

[@ghowell13]

Excellent work! I'd just recently spoken to a friend about the crack ups series Hot Wheels cars, too. Thanks for another great video!

[@bigsquatchsasfoot1964]

Never seen one of those before….brilliant very cool nice job to Danny 👌

[@BulletNoseBetty]

My brother and I each had a decent Hot Wheels/Matchbox collection and I remember when these Crack Ups came out. They were so much fun.

[@kellimeyer288]

i was waiting to see if someone would do a restoration video on one of these cars! and you did great on it!

[@juliebaker6969]

It looks good, but I think the yellow could have used a touch more orange in it. The taxi decals look great, and the windshield cleaned up very nicely.

[@chrismayer3919]

I remember Hot Wheels crack-ups; oh what fun THOSE were!

[@ilovedogs7224]

Very nice job

[@phantom2hell]

Nice work!!

[@DiecastQT]

Nice job. I remember having one of these in my childhood collection.

[@DrewsCustomDiecastDrewMSmith]

I wasn't a fan of these when they came out but you did an amazing job and gave me a new appreciation of these. And as a third generation cabbie mad props on keeping it a taxi. I drove a Crown Victoria that looked very similar.

[@bigcharliesmodelgarage296]

Looks pretty good

[@cradleofphill]

Looks great dude!

[@Scotts_Blocks]

Def. brought back some fond memories I had two of these and loved them. Amazing job btw I really love your att. to detail especially with the rear and front grill

[@Lahire-s7l]

Super cool le taf 😊

[@R1chardB1ngham]

That looks the nuts, I really love 80s blackwall cars, got this one and some of the other colours too

[@Skywarpandthundercrackerfanboy]

nice custom

[@SELIMNIVEK]

BING BAM BOOM, THAT'S ONE BAD. ASS TAXI!!! I LOVE IT DANNY A++++++!!!

[@2ahdcat]

Nice job. I am currently restoring a Hot Wheels Woody Hi-Jacker :)

[@gilmatin8185]

Great job I bought a few of these a while back but have not gotten around to restoring them .... this gives me an idea of what to expect...Thank You for sharing.

[@jaredhaden1989]

Those wheels are awesome

[@shaunfelton2046]

This is just awesome!

[@teee4532]

Awesome job looks incredible

[@bigboy9706]

Awesome job

[@hugoferriz8191]

First crack-ups resto I've ever seen. Looks more than fine, great job and talent, as usually 👍

[@MagnaRyuuDesigns]

i had a couple crack-ups that had the side panel and some that had the front damage. loved these. I swear there were ones where they had the "damage' on the back

[@mortenhenningsen940]

Nice video. It turned out nice,to bad it got wrecked in the end,after all that strugle straighten it up and paint it

[@revzillo]

This reminds me of the Stock Car Smash Up game l had when I was a kid, the cars were bigger and made of plastic and you used a Rip cord to send them racing towards each other , when they hit the doors trunk and hood would fly off. Great fun . Nice job on your restoration Danny 👍

[@DannysDiecastDisasters]

Neat I looked them up on google 👍

[@joethompson5673]

Loved these when I was a kid

[@lorddiosliving]

awesome tiny toy car

[@tredici72]

I remember these back in the day, Awesome work Danny👍

[@chubbyschoices9701]

Great stuff Danny, love to see ya do some more hot wheels.

[@carlkwasnjuk9518]

Very nice! Love it! Wished you showed what you did to the end of the axles to keep the wheels on.

[@jasonrhome710]

Loved those! The ones with front panels would invariably loose the engine cover as they were plastic on thin hinges that would eventually tear during play.

[@rigelc.hoffman2496]

That's a great makeover, now it looks like a member of a fleet of Chevy Caprice Taxis

[@dennisp.2147]

Looks more like a '78 Crown Vic to me.

[@organrick]

I was thinking a Chrysler LeBaron, from the mid to late 1970s, which had tail lights like the one on the model, so who knows. It looks like it may be several different kinds, and not based on a single model I mean.

[@TheVenomreaver]

Had loads of these when i was a kid totally forgot about these awesome job. Memories 👌🏻.

[@Project88TTM]

Awesome job as usual! I used to love playing with these. Thanks!

[@bobfellows5758]

Nice job

[@Gollumfili]

Love your channel! I've got loads of videos to catch up on. This is my favourite so far.
