Hot Wheels Customization : 1970 Chevelle

My Amazon Tools List - www.amazon.com...
I wanted to freshen up this old Hot Wheels Chevelle today, the wheels really were the worst part, but I think brightening up the paint might actually help it along. This was a beautiful casting that I wanted to look more like a classic Chevelle. We put some big muscle tires on it.

Been a heck of a month, glad to be at my desk again finally. I've added about 175 cars to the collection, mostly muscle. It should be a good year! Thanks for your patience!

[@jamesdudley7808]

Hey worth the wait.... how would I go about having you do car for me???

[@tonybecker7259]

Welcome back!

[@stevenyoung5467]

Had a 70 Pontiac Lemans that i put Iroc Z rims on. Car was a kinda dark gold metal flake. This one brought back some great memories. Thanks man

[@Outlawstar79]

Glad to see you back...vid is lookin awesome!

[@DeadMaul]

Welcome back!!! Im wondering what happened with you! i need to laugh while seeing a restoration video! :D

[@toolalingus]

“Pubes in your windshield” 😂😂

[@Bkrzduzn]

Your channel makes me so happy. Don't skip any steps in the video and say I don't want to bore you or whatever because your commentary is fookin funny. Your the man, my kids and I watch you all the time. I think about all the hot wheels I had as a kid and wish I had now.

[@robertkman7857]

Just wanted to drop you a note to tell you how much I enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.

[@brianartillery]

Great RestoMod! The finished result looks both beautiful and evil. The sort of car that would leave you in a cloud of rubber smoke at traffic lights. Nice one!

[@loupecci4901]

Needs the black Chevelle rally stripes on hood and trunk.

[@dennismason3740]

@Diecast Resurrection - good show kid. When I was your age the big Chevelles were about a thousand shades of blue from sky to deep metalflake gunsteel blue and when you were searching for a proper color I screamed at the screen "blue, fool!".

[@kennydemartini2169]

It's not too often you hear the words Torque Thrust, Cragers, or front runners.. You know what your cars need. Awesome job, and I enjoy your videos. Keep them coming!

[@archiebunker6059]

Definitely one of my favorite casting, maybe a "Heavy Chevy" stripes on the side in black, and the rubber pad on back bumper? Like to see what you come up with on one of the Olds 442. Great video 👍 and entertainment.

[@madmax0814]

Pair of Shelby style stripes would suit it I think. Love the big ‘n’ littles, very cool 😎. Somebody else suggested chroming the window surrounds? That’s a good suggestion too. Keep up the good work and irreverent humour 😉👍

[@robertshemory5094]

Like what you did to the Chevelle. White stripes and white interior . Wheels and tires are amazing on this car. Looking forward to more.👍👍👍

[@chha6439]

This is really cool. I grew up in the 60s and 70s. When everybody else was getting high. I had a 1970 Chevelle SS with a 454. Back then,you could cruise! Three or four cities around here. But then that all went away. Because fuel went from $.40 a gallon to 1.29. Yeah ..Fuel crisis.You have to understand the time 1974 -75 .But I still have pictures ,and memories of the ( especially the times in the backseat ,with the sweethearts,mmm )70 Chevelle with the eleven to one.. Domed Pistons,with a big roller cam! 4-11 rear end ,yes, 12 bolt. A lot of chrome, metal flake green, White Racing stripes. Black interior! Hearst shifter,tee handle! Headers made it sound really freaking great. Everything under the hood was chrome! Steel braided hoses. Double pumper,Holly fuel pump! (Yes Holly fuel pump was chrome also) with a big Holley 4 barrel carburetor (can’t remember the number 9 something) was fed by what seemed like garden hoses. Could only use Sunoco 260 Premium. Or airplane fuel! Which I only used at the Muncie drags! At the time I couldn’t afford wheelie bars. So I just log chained my rear end down! With N 50-15s Because thats all I could afford at 17. And during the middle 70s. I could still run it on the street. There wasn’t nothing around here that would beat it! Won a lot of nice nice cars ,title for title! She ended up at a junkyard.Because I sold it to a school mate, because I got married, like a dumb ass. He took it to the drags. Blew a water pump and blew the engine. He Didn’t have the money to repair. End of story! But I still got the memories. 😎

[@wadelasch7037]

I like your Commentary, don’t ever record without it lol!

[@joehartleben2490]

A set of lake pipes would look good on it, in my opinion. Absolutely love the color. You're a talented man. Keep the videos coming

[@solitairesmith3553]

Love what you did with the grill and the bumpers. Makes the car:) Try black stripes all the way across the top:)

[@r.a.monigold9789]

August 13, 2019 - Diecast Resurrection - You, sir, have a serious talent. Your work with scale paint - in all its aspects from prep to polish - is formidable. It also doesn’t hurt a bit that your unfetter tongue is a witty companion to your ever calculating mind. Damn - it’s a joy and inspiration watching and listening. Sometimes you are my playlist while I model. But - your true canvas is in 1:18 scale. While you produce wonderful “64” scale paint, the “Purple Woody” and “White Firebird” really show your talent for scale painting. Go BIG or - screw it - there is NO OR - go BIG Thank you for sharing...

[@DiecastResurrection]

It’s really expensive doing 1:18 cars every second day. So it’ll never be a full time thing I doubt. Going to do as many as I can but I don’t think it’ll be a full time thing. Maybe when the channel is more mature possibly? I don’t know. But thanks for your kind words brother!

[@band1986]

Another great video! I love the spin you put on stuff and the fact that you gave Marty a nod. This channel rocks; everybody should subscribe.

[@troycartwright8736]

That 70 Chevell turned out Sweet! Great Video. Love the HOT WHEELS, CHEVELL AND NOVA

[@chrism.2711]

No decals no stripes. She's beautiful as is!!!

[@dianamessenger6853]

You are the Bob Ross of wet sanding.

[@Outlawstar79]

Shaquille brO’Neal !!! it is good to see you made it back to us and with a wicked lil ride in tow as well! I know the joys of working the night shift just happy you could get bk on track with us and one heck of wicked build!

[@Chaze-yq7ms]

This is my era of hotwheels!

[@alextegg3838]

Love the fact you always go the extra mile with your paint and the finish is incredible!

[@ivanespitia547]

Awesome as always.. truly enjoy watching your Restoration's.... Please keep making them.✊🏽

[@pedroantonioromohernandez1946]

Missed your videos, very happy your back, really enjoyed watching your work.

[@blackra1n_226]

I have a real 1970 chevelle ss 396 with this custom blue paint scheme that is purple blue colour changing. Has a built 396 in it and I really enjoyed watching this cause I love seeing someone else recognizing the car

[@dizzle123able]

Highlight the trim around windshield, back wi dow etc! Nice work!

[@ketoking9435]

Super restoration,,,, Great with or without stripes,,think I may well do my Hotwheels up after seeing this,,,,Have a great week,,,

[@krazy4baja]

Looks awesome. Love that chevelle body style, color and wheels

[@helmutquad1960]

Hi and hello again, I was a little frightened because nothing seen of your restoration and thought you changed your hobby. Now I'm happy to watch a new video from you. Hope to see video's about the "golden aera" of muscle cars, restorated by you. This model I like very much and your restoration looks perfect!👍👍👍👍 Greetings!

[@Tim-57]

Good to see another video from you. Car looks good and I feel the black interior, matches your car just right.

[@maybe_jason2128]

I always like the car noises he makes

[@sirporkchop1975]

Broom!

[@stevemarquez8022]

Blub blub blub blub blub...😁

[@waynetemplar2183]

Buh-bloop, buh-bloop, buh-bloop

[@Revox67]

love that color! Glad you're back.

[@Edzugaster]

the Chevelle, is one of the most iconic and beautiful cars of its time, to the point that it is a scale or natural size looks just as beautiful, an excellent job, I must say that when I choose to put lines to work at the end my head exploded 1 minute earlier when I think the same, even if, it is beautiful.

[@anthonymusick9979]

This looks like my uncles car it's the first car we ever restored together and now we win competitions all the time super cool video

[@jeffkrug5541]

Your back YEAH!! Been crying myself to sleep. Beautiful car and yes it needs stripes. Pubes on the windsheild talk about fuzzy vision.

[@DiecastResurrection]

lol windshield looking like Bob Ross!

[@plum0214]

Glad to see you're back. Great looking paint. Would look cool with stripes too.

[@ronnysplymouth68]

Your the best diecast resto tuber on the net

[@jad9544]

Welcome back! Your restores are just the best. Your body prep and painting skills are unmatched.

[@darrenstafford7492]

Yes I definately think you should add some Chevelle stripes just like those on the actual car.It would make the car even more awesome! Excellent work!

[@brutlern]

Welcome back. For a moment there I thought Diecast would not be Resurrected again.

[@vinnyambrose7514]

Chevelle would look phenomenal with the center of hood painted black.

[@WellsFLIX]

I love how you wet sand and do it perfect. I like your channel way better than the rest

[@davidneilson3508]

Sometimes simple and clean is a good thing, and I think it looks sweet 👍👍😊

[@Josh-xv5oe]

Pubes in the windshield is just a good reason for Gillette to start making windshield wipers.

[@DiecastResurrection]

@@ae86hachi Forget them both, grow a beard!

[@cpeterson877]

Best paint job on-line so far.

[@colta51]

Good to see you back. That floor polish is good stuff I cleaned some of my original cars with it diluted with some water and it worked good just buffed them up by hand with soft cloth to finish.

[@chad3625]

I’ve used the M2 wheels from a 57 Ford on a Lesney Matchbox Lincoln Continental. It made it look so much more accurate. Definitely a good tip, and glad to see you’re back!

[@SBSRIVERA]

Awesome job on the car. Stripes would look great on the car.

[@johnmadere]

Looks great! And thanks for working on something more modern. I’m thinking about jumping into customizing and have way more access to something like this than a Redline. Makes me a little less afraid to try. Haha.

[@2711scooby]

Hi Diecast resurrection how can I donate I box of cares to you as I have no address

[@Mister_R.A.E.]

Great project and welcome back man ! You were missed!!!!

[@DiecastResurrection]

Good to be back Rob, thanks bud!

[@asmith515151]

Hear hear!

[@jamesdudley7808]

I would paint the chrome trim around the windows

[@DiecastResurrection]

I thought about it, but I couldn't repaint a third time. I want to look into that foil the modelers use for window trim. I wonder how it would work on diecast and can it be cleared over.. hmm 🤔

[@betterdaze1747]

Chrome the door handles, and do the marker lights. Would look more complete.

[@stevemarquez8022]

Glad you're back! Been missing your restoration projects. 😀

[@daftboy11]

Yes stripes. Maybe some Yenko style stripes and perhaps a black vinyl roof.

[@DiecastResurrection]

Yenko.. damn... Wish I thought of that!!!

[@jonathandeere6232]

I was thinking black vinyl roof too. If he starts feeling really nuts, redo the interior white with blue seat covers and a white vinyl roof, that would be sweet.

[@axl1632]

Or might be would be looking good with the Baldwin Motion Stripes, something like this: www.the-blueprints.com/blueprints-depot-restricted/cars/chevrolet/baldwin_motion_chevelle-37005.jpg

[@paulchilders3072]

Baldwin Motion with the side pipe exhaust!

[@jasonbrash8052]

So glad to see you back on KZbin! Love your work and already looking forward to the next one

[@crazylarryjr]

The corners of the hood have hood pins, you could use some silver to touch them up. Also the rear tires have a little spacer (molding) you could trim, to tuck them a little better. Very nice build

[@MetalheadEchidna]

looks great, i might recommend a vinyl roof, would go with the interior, and contrast great with that nice paint you put on it, and also color some of the body trim with the chrome pen.

[@jonytube]

Oh boy I had this same exact model when I was a kid. I really digged the matte finish

[@karlwjm]

Vinyl roof with white racing stripes would look nice.

[@saschagoretzki5504]

The blue looks awesome!!!! Some white stripes should be nice I think

[@harleyguyinmilw]

no strips! the gloss on this one is terrific

[@jerrybynum5702]

Glad to have you back ... missed the great content!

[@harleym50]

Really like that Blue, nice job

[@motorjive4363]

Nice job. I've used the M2 wheels myself. They totally make the car. Cheers!

[@DiecastResurrection]

Thanks brother! If you know of any more sets like that id totally be buying!

[@MrVolvobloke]

Love the way you put so much care and attention to detail into a more modern lower value car, just the same as you do on a redline. That finished result is beautiful and goes to show you can achieve a top quality job on any die cast car. Thanks for posting !

[@DiecastResurrection]

Hey buddy! I'm not really interested in car values I just want to put out a good video or try to at least. Most people don't seem to care if its rare or not as long as its nice at the end!

[@emanuelmason7651]

Black the hood scoop and trunk lid. And two tone interior Black n white accents. Would totally make this car POP

[@timothyberg23]

Molotow is a German auto paint company that expanded into the graffiti world, hence the myriad paint pens and the crazy paint colours. Automotive paint and paint pens are good for graffiti writers--which I can attest to personally for both--because, for obvious reasons, they are durable and have good thick paint. My point being, I noticed in another video you pronounced Molotow as it is spelt, but in this video you pronounced it "molotov". You thought you said it incorrectly, and even commented on your "mistake", but you were actually correct. German pronounces Ws as Vs. Anyhooo...I like the obscure references, your mash up between Caddyshack and TPB, and the overall entertaining sound effects. Killing it with the channel!

[@MatchboxGarage]

Great advice with the Pledge. I need to use this myself.

[@chrisformato837]

Glad to have you back!!!

[@pigskin75]

So glad to see you show up in my feed. Welcome back and stay safe on the job! I recommend a wide double white stripe down the centerline.

[@christianchaplain1305]

That’s a nice custom, the blue reminds me of Petty Blue. 👍🏼

[@tangohunter5788]

Hi my man.. really great to see you back, thank you! I was thinking..... Maybeee.. white stripes and black and white hounds tooth seats? Emm.. eh.. huh?

[@PacManDreaming]

Looks great! Glad to see you back!

[@larryhouse2767]

Loving what you've done with the rubber tires!

[@zacharyhassan6352]

I had this exact casting as a kid. Miss it 😢

[@jsnsk101]

i love the blue. Really nice looking car now.

[@davidgardner8707]

Black Stripes on That Chevy 👍🏻

[@azrailfan2717]

Looks great 🤠. After watching Martys and your channel I want to start customizing hot wheels/matchbox cars 🤠

[@travelersdiecastcustoms1511]

Sweet custom. Didn’t think I would like the color when u showed it in the bottle but looks great on the car.👍👍👍

[@audiemcknight560]

Car really looks good glad you're back

[@sirb9173]

Finally you back ! I’ve been waiting for your commentary !

[@Scotty_in_Ohio]

Good to have you back! Having to watch Marty's Matchbox is like a small box of Tim Bits with a small Tim's coffee that's gone cold - it gets you by but ruins your day until you can crack open a Blue

[@DiecastResurrection]

What is “something only the Canadian will understand” Pat.

[@MrJCruz79]

The car looks fantastic!

[@SEGAdude95]

Hey brother.. ;) sweet .. loved the blue.. and the wheels nice.. it turned out sick.. big thumbs up.. love the chevelle.. one of my favorite cars.. :) :D

[@valborchardt3596]

Thanks dude, what an awesome car, looks great. Hope you are keeping warm there, I saw it’s rather chilly 🥶 your way Take care as always from South Africa

[@thesmokeeater8867]

Looks fantastic! You should start painting the door handles. It would add a real nice touch. Use the fine tipped paint brush or that chrome/silver marker you used in this video

[@barelad70]

Red interior would look killer with that blue

[@russelljohnson1303]

To add more details. I would chrome pen the hood pins and the moldings around the Windows and the door handles.

[@lordofpain3476]

Beautiful job !!!!!! A little bit of window chrome would have made it absolutely perfect . Keep up the great work .

[@PhoenixRCCrawler]

Those pizza cutters up front look killer.

[@ilovedogs7224]

Chrome door handles, hood locks plus white interior and White fatty stripes down the middle 👍🏻

[@MYERS503]

Flames. The clear looks great.

[@diecast164andmore9]

Car looks great, nice color choice, I agree it needs a little more, maybe white racing stripes, or a white strip on the lower body line of the doors. Wheels also look awesome, and I have had the same idea use M2 axles and rims. Nice work my friend!!

[@northsevilla5960]

That one originally came in a Muscle Mania 5-pack, i know it cus it was one of my favorites as a kiddo, looks amaing now, great job!

[@shanet.1665]

Looks good - only thing that feels missing to me is the chrome moldings around the windows. Love the color.

[@ilovedogs7224]

Car looks great, but dark blue stripes would be a nice addition! Worked night shift 7 yrs hated everyday of it. Glad your back on days. PS those new wheels made it pop!

[@StevenSmyth]

Great resto! It's a 1970 Chevelle so it needs hood and trunk stripes and maybe a vinyl top. You can use the Magic Black from The Redline Shop. I don't like competition orange either but I had to have two (and only two) cars in my collection that were in that color, they were both Don "The Snake" Prudhomme's Plymouth 'Cuda funny car. One was the Hot Wheels, of course. The other was Monogram's 1/24 scale model kit. I had a friend of mine who disliked compy orange so much he painted his 'Cuda lemon yellow, to match my mom's real life '70 Road Runner.

[@27sincity]

I liked the cutlass with the siren on the roof

[@thebmac]

Thats some slick looking paint. Watching your videos has made me want to re-do a hotwheels to be just like my dad's muscle car.... which happens to be a '70 Chevelle dark grey with black strips. Keep up the great work man!

[@DiecastResurrection]

Thanks brother, show me once it’s done!

[@thatnthis1042]

Another great result :) stripes is a must for this automotive ikon. A wheelie bar might compliment the wheel setup
