Hot Wheels Custom T-Bird - Restoration

[@nathancook1404]

It's very nice! You did a good job on it, I've listen to some of Prince's music before after his passing there this one time I'd watch a Dash cam tuber played some of Prince's Music when he was making a video of him going through Minnesota but his video would get taken down later on because of the copyright of Prince's Music he would later had to change the music of the video to avoid anymore copyright issues. I hope we all get through this Coronavirus issue and things will get back to normal.

[@TimeRider]

There is a KZbin copyright hit on this video for using the Anthony cover. But generally, unless you're actually peddling a product purchased outside the scope of KZbin, the copyright violation will just mean that . . . A, you can't be monetized or B, the money from your video will go to the artist. Which to me is more than fair. If you are using the music in an honorific, generally you have some leeway. If KZbin were to direct me to take this down, I would simply replace the music with something else. But since the "life" of my videos is by and large, a week? I'd say it'll be too late. I don't have anything so suing me would probably cost more to achieve, than any POTENTIAL recovery. If I were selling a line of widgets on my widget page, advertising or featuring them on KZbin with a song by Cheryl Crow . . . crow could be my next meal. I made a video a while back for that pink Bat-mobile, but when I uploaded it, KZbin advised that it couldn't be played in the UK with that song. Weird. Since 17% of my audience is in the UK, I changed the song. I get copyright hits all of the time, even using just bits of a song. I did a Superfast Corvette and had about 40 seconds of a Bachman-Turner Overdrive album, got a KZbin hit. None of my hits have been serious in that they haven't really been held against me, which can happen and get yourself kicked. I suspect that since I am not monetized, any copyright violations are negligible, especially since millions of people do it and millions of others outright steal. Thanks for your comment, I think this is a really-really important issue that, like COPPA, most people don't understand all that well. I don't either, but my experiences have led me to believe certain circumstances are too WEE to care!! Take care . . . 😎😎😎

[@nathancook1404]

@@TimeRider the dashcam video that I'd talked about was already hit with copyright and that happened a few years before the COPPA issue started I'd sometimes watch dashcam videos to enjoy where the dashcam tubers are going plus they add in some music to make the video entertaining for viewers to enjoy while they go through the interstates and highways.

@@nathancook1404 The Price issues deal with "his" music, I used a cover, that's why.

[@cmi07]

[@TimeRider]

Thanks!

[@raydoyonful]

Very nice, I do like the color.

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

It looks SUPER!! Prince would be proud of this tribute!!.. Not too shabby IMO considering this was your first ever Redline!!

[@TimeRider]

It was my third actually, but my first "Sweet 16."

[@SwampersRC]

When I saw the picture of Prince, I knew where you were going with it! Great job on the car!

[@tygrkhat4087]

Beautiful Lee. The paint looks like grape candy. That picture of the hawk at the end look like he's giving you a "Whatta you lookin' at?" stare.

[@TimeRider]

I know right? Who dat?

[@OneSixtyFourRevival]

Doesn't look like only your 2nd Redline. Nice work, beautiful color.

[@michaeldean4704]

Beautiful.

[@jessesims2240]

Beautiful. Love the color.

[@wadehendryx7378]

Again, beautiful job. Nice color choice. Very sleak looking. Love it. I actually like it without the body lines.

[@carlosdelgado614]

Nicely done my friend

[@SoMoDiecast]

Very clean. The color is perfect.

[@markl.miller3149]

Looks very nice!

[@charliejames1981]

Beautiful work..

[@danwinchell8716]

Awesome job dude The paint is flawless..

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

BTW thanks for keeping the videos flowing as the world goes through these uncertain times..

[@davidneilson3508]

Lee it looks awesome, love the purple it came out smooth as glass.👍👍😊

[@tomheckhaus7617]

It spite of al the defects in the casting I think it came out great. Be safe.

[@DrewsCustomDiecastDrewMSmith]

Lee I have to agree with Bob at Deep Junk Garage. You built one of the cleanest and nicest sweet 16's I have ever seen. I like that you didn't add the vinyl top back to it. I wouldn't change a thing. Excellent job 🍻

[@darrenmaples5630]

Lee, the car is so beautiful! I'd give anything if you would allow me to purchase it. I'm sure you have other plans for it, but I can dream, can't I? I wasn't sure it would work with all the pitting, but you made it a dream come true. You really out did yourself! Thanks for saving it from the junkyard.

[@jamesbeestman9382]

Love the color love the car great job my friend

[@timburnette5914]

Time Rider dude that’s awesome! Love that purple!

[@robby062]

These were awesome cars. I almost got a 71 4 door with the suicide doors for my first car. I’m a Matchbox guy, but this is a favorite HW, along with the Eldorado. And it’s a beautiful job well done!

[@westonward735]

I think you did a great job considering what you started with. I really liked the interior color. It really needs the vinyl roof though.

[@TimeRider]

I disagree but that's fine.

[@neilcummings9939]

looks absolutely amazing

[@jakerademacher4258]

Absolutely gorgeous, great job, love those purple people eaters,as well as your choice of music, from the tuba's to Prince, well done 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻☮️

[@davidbeeson1178]

Magnifico my friend, the purple paint job you gave it is breathtaking. I don't know who my friend looks like you already have it figured out.

[@caesarillion]

Wow. Factory flawless paint there. Better than some factory actually. Congrats, as bad paint is my pet peeve on restorations. Best Regards, Thailand Paul

[@stub1toe]

Great job, I really wish I had half your painting skills....

[@geauxbearsdiecastworkshop149]

Lee great job on the redline, you nailed the color. I think you did it justice, resto or not.

[@twycediecast]

Paint is perfect, man!

[@melissacombest9358]

That turned out beautiful, looks good in purple, like your videos, keep up the good work timerider

[@BrotherDog]

Absolutely stunning. A real looker all the way.

[@MatchboxResurrection]

Absolutely beautiful. One of the best paint jobs I've seen you doing so far. Looking forward to that Ferrari Berlinetta

[@cannyuk]

Ok George, I think you smashed it. Bearing in mind what you had to work with you couldn't have done much better.. Love Prince, covered the cover version too.

[@mustanger_73blanchard20]

I love it. Personally I would have put the vinyl top on, but it's your car and it looks great

[@TheRealGraylocke]

You need to do a 'little' red Corvette next. :) Nice paint job.

[@kenrk]

The "bonnet" had some problems? :) lol I think you've been watching some Matchbox garage. Love the paint, nice resto.

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

A solid casting with good bones...

[@helmutquad1960]

Everything you do, you do with success ! That's what I have to say about your restorations. Never saw a video from you were you ruined a car by restoring. For this one I give you ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Greetings, best wishes and stay healthy !

[@jimlowe6386]

Gorgeous car!!

[@MrStevenDeer]

Nice job, looks great

[@dalejweppler6273]

it's nice & shiny!

[@TimeRider]

Thanks 👍

[@leecollins5479]

wow very nice.these models are always in poor condition these days but you have done the purple one justice! great job

[@lannyfloyd6131]

Awesome job buddy.

[@briannicklas109]

Looks super - Look forward to the J-Car.. BTW - You and Marty have inspired me to work on a few in quarantine. Stripping done, now the fixing and priming...

[@jasonleone5480]

Beautiful car! I'm sure some will gnash their teeth and have a hissy fit because of what you did with this car, but the end result is Awesome! Better to have an awesome custom than a restoration that's iffy. Well done, Sir!

[@TimeRider]

I agree completely!

[@michaeljankowski6073]

The purple T Bird looks great. O like it alot.

[@cristianodummel316]

Muito legal mesmo!

[@matthewdavey6064]

Beautiful colour, expertly applied. A fine resto for the collection.

[@monti7771]

I really got to say you really out did yourself so what and who care I don't to me your work you yourself all and all outstanding your personality and work is outstanding what's important you didn't give up. You went from plan A to plan B ant it worked you made all of the Prince Fans very happy so with that 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍.

[@pauly7218]

I think it's stunning. Also, I noticed you were having the vix bit slip. Push way lighter so the drill bit doesn't break the tedious grip. Great stuff and welcome to redlines....

[@TimeRider]

Learning curve . . .

[@easyontheeyes78]

Very pretty

[@Jsellers1965]

Turned out nice.

[@MrLebelg]

[@wadeplanty9856]

nice job lee

[@SuperBadVideos]

Very nice work 👍🏻🔥🤘🏻

[@marcroulleau9510]

Hey! I discovered those HotWheels "sweet sixteen " less than a year ago . Here in France Hot Wheels was unknwn till the late 70's. (and they were made in France). Anyway, even if I do not like purple (matter of taste) What you've done Master Polisher , is a piece of art to my eyes . I'm waiting for one same cating same color but without the hood (I will buy the hood some paint and some wheels) , and I will work on it and maybe Sunday after sunday I will make something not too far to the idea I have of a repaint of this beast. Thanks again for the video, keep on the good polish .

[@Leader460]

Looks awesome👍

[@HammyTechnoid]

Folks may not realize, but the T -Bird was Ford's answer to the Chevrolet Corvette, which also first appeared in 1953. Of course, Chevy one upped Ford by making the Corvette with a fiber glass body. The later T -Birds had those famous hard tops that disappeared into the trunk. Those were super cool.

[@deepjunkgarage]

Looking at the T-bird I wouldn't have guessed that your new at restoring redlines. It looks fantastic. Very nice bodywork on the hood ! 🍻

[@unastamus6122]

Thank you, Lee, that was a lovely tribute to my old friend. I found myself being overwhelmed with both the joy of memories and the sorrow of loss. If you don't mind, I'll share this video with the PRNAlumni Foundation. A well done cover you found, too. My hat's off to Mr. Anthony. Now for the car... Absolutely Beautiful!! That was the perfect, Princely shade of royal purple! A tidbit of info for your subs: Prince's father, John Nelson, actually owned a T-Bird of this same vintage. It wasn't purple, but white-over-black. Surprisingly, Prince left it original after he inherited it (that man painted everything purple!). He even included lyrics about his "Daddy's Thunderbird" in his song, Alphabet Street. Great job, Lee, and again, thanks.....

[@TimeRider]

Sure Mike!

[@easyontheeyes78]

The birdie is cute

[@michaelhebert8020]

Great job i like it.

[@p40f20]

Nice...real nice!!!

[@lotharrenz4621]

shines nice and smooth and even, so I'd peg it a success. :) found the same casting at a model car seller at the classic car fair near where I live, for a whopping 12 euro, and in a better condition than yours. though still chipped and corroded a bit. maybe one day I'll try to restore it. ^^

[@randyrandolph7231]

Great. The hole video

[@grahamparr4710]

I am disturbed, yours is better than mine😭great job sir👍

[@brianharris7243]

A beauty!

[@1968Marmit]

I'm not a ford fan. I do realize it is a toy. But an amazing job!!

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

A nice tribute to Prince.. Even though I wasn't his largest fan...
