Hot Wheels Customization : Custom 66' Nova

[@DiecastResurrection]

Would you guys be interested in a live car resto/mod type thing If i did a stream? Hmm? Beers with Me?

[@2deepIn45]

Heck yea as long i can tip back a few and share a few laughs!

[@segundobosquez341]

Diecast Resurrection that would be awesome, I’d definitely tune in to watch!!

[@DiecastResurrection]

Hell yea boys! I just made a channel post about it, figured it woulds get more exposure that way :D

[@DiecastResurrection]

Oh of course!

[@jonathanweber2619]

Oh hell yeah I will be there

[@atlasbelow8605]

If the boring part of the process was any step. Nobody would watch Bob Ross. You have great commentary, fantastic shot angles and camera control, and genuine passion. It’s a pleasure to watch these from start to finish.

[@jonathanweber2619]

True classic car are the best. That is one bad ass nova

[@ethompson2204]

Nothing like waking up on a Sunday morning with a cup of tea and a nice Nova custom video !

[@nec2005handbook]

Doing that right now but with coffee 👍

[@colinnixon4570]

I like how you just roll with it, it didn’t come out how you wanted so you just tried something else. I love your videos and this is easily the best diecast channel out there. Keep doing your thing.

[@davidives3173]

Jimmy looks a little intoxicated! Great Makeovers...Great Talent, keep em coming and the humour.

[@MatchboxGarage]

Glad to hear you are feeling better now mate

[@firehawkordy]

Pantyhose stretched over your color cup also makes a good filter, if you're married or have daughters you know how fast those are tossed out for new so you always have a constant supply. Just stretch it enough to have tension but not too tight that the weave opens all the way up. It's easier to make a filter from pantyhose than cut one out of a full-size one, I know from experience. Good video and nice job at the end.

[@Natschke_Family_Adventures]

Then after done painting it can put lotion on it's skin.

Awesome Awesome Kandy On The Nova Awesome

[@krl8506]

I dont know why, but I am addicted to your videos..... Maybe my love for Hot Wheels cars, when I was a kid. It was ALWAYS Hot Wheels. I didn't like Matchbox. My parents back yard is a Hot Wheels grave yard! LOL. Keep the Videos coming!!

[@DiecastResurrection]

Today's matchbox are pretty decent, but yea I feel your pain. As a kid i was like.. ugh rip off.

[@SparkyNarwhal]

I love your commentary! Its like Bill Murray from Caddyshack meets Mitch Hedberg.

[@joshuaharvey3677]

One question why don't you try to do truck (4x4)?

[@fungunfanatic]

@Diecast Resurrection Do what YOU like not what WE like. Your passion and happiness will shine through your videos and we will love it even more. Keep up the amazing videos.

[@aaronking488]

Love it... the shuttle purplish tent with glitter. Sweet job

[@RandallRCTherapy]

Love the Hot Rod Hot Wheels Customs and your personality is entertaining ,

[@jacobdenk8749]

Looks like a super dark purple, and I love it.

[@octane613]

We love the customs bro. Your work is fantastic. You've started strong and only gotten better.

[@DiecastResurrection]

Thanks brother!

[@mikemars8503]

A friend of mine had a '66...i had a '65 Nova...was such a fun car back in the day!

[@Mister_R.A.E.]

dude I ain’t even mad about the black cherry not turning out, the sparkles add that custom rod feel to it! Great job!!!!

[@DiecastResurrection]

So easy to please.. I could just sparkle jizz every car in like 2 seconds... I have a few different colors of that stuff to try out. And some gold sparkle green slime paint im saving for a rainy day :D

[@Mister_R.A.E.]

Diecast Resurrection Lol if I could sparkle jizz, my Wife would never not have a smile on her face lol I enjoy watching you redo the muscle cars (and no smoke being blown just being honest) I think it’s not just the act of redoing them, but the commentary that goes along with it lol keep up the great work and the great commentary!

[@marklovato3077]

Killer!! My first car was a 74' Nova. I ended up having two more through the years.All 74', all 2 door, one SS and one was a hatchback. If I could only have them now. Maybe one day. I'm building a 63' Cadillac Hearse and hope to have it done this summer. You should do a hearse if you haven't already. Keep the videos coming, glad you're feeling better!

[@AlexBabcock-hw9iz]

Would think quite a bit of red then little bit of black would of given the black cherry look. Watched a vid of a guy doing motorcycle gas tanks and covers. He used black then Clear coat then silver before it dried he put plastic wrap on and it made the black show through in a cool pattern he then painted a translucent candy blue came out FANTASTIC. He also did a gold and then candy red the same way. Might be cool if you could try this technique on your cars.

[@PozerAdultRacingTeam]

I love watching your videos.You make it look so easy.You are fun to watch and very entertaining.

[@asmith515151]

If I hadn’t known you were going for a different look...but it looks beautiful in its finished state! Super nice

[@Ogma3bandcamp]

Great save, sweet ride to add to the collection. Great to hear you are feeling better.

[@TheDgrinch69]

Very Badass! I really appreciate how much you put into these paint jobs...and it shows at the end! Thanks.

[@scty66]

Love it! It’s like watching Mr. Rodgers hobby shop. Let’s see a 4x4 soon!

[@Outlawstar79]

Ernest P. Worrell here and I gotta say Vern that is a sick ride! I am sorry you Black Cherry fell apart but hey Shoeless Bro Jackson you made one heck of a ried and we are all wonderfully proud of your efforts. Till the next one mang..Stay Frosty!

[@DiecastResurrection]

Can't win them all Vern! We'll try again soon!

[@DiecastResurrection]

Hopefully you didnt send that box without telling me, I never check my po box!

[@thermoid1]

I'm half expecting two brothers to jump out that car and start whooping butt on some vampires or something lol

[@littletg4904]

Loving the colour choice.

[@junkyrod4265]

I like the real cars you do. Fantasy cars are okay but classic cars are better. I'm a Chevy guy so all the Chevy s you do are my favorite videos but I like all your videos. I wish I can buy a few Chevrolet cars you've done. Let me know if you wanna sell some so you can buy more cars that need to be restored.

[@michaelhall736]

The classic muscle cars is where it's at. 😀

[@edition_sixscalediecastmod6084]

The colour turned out great. Suits the car great!

[@thediecastguy8728]

The paint process is by far my favorite part also can’t wait to get a set up and start doing my own jobs

[@ralphyetmore]

I like the unintended subtlety of the finished paint job. I would paint my nova that way, if I still had it. 🤘

[@looselycollected7505]

Love how it turned out. But I'd still love to see a black cherry candy on a car. Please don't give up on it. Please try it again in the near future with another muscle car.

[@scottshank9667]

Truly enjoyed the video. I am a Hotwheels collector and have always wanted to customize my own. Did a heavy mod on Purple passion but fell short on the paint. Did make custom hub caps. Just lacked the finish details. Great video, look forward to more

[@injairgun]

Ya know when it was on the rotisserie at the end, the reflection made the bottom look gray and that looked badass with the purple flake at the top!

[@robertshemory5094]

I like the muscle cars and the hot wheels. Enjoy watching you paint.

[@marklinder9485]

TRANSPARANT BLUE LOOKS COOL FOR HEADLIGHTS,

[@DiecastShowCustoms]

Try doing the last step over a polished casting. That might give you more control on how dark you want the end result

[@DiecastResurrection]

Nothing sticks to polished castings though, you even sneeze on a redline that was polished and that paint flakes off lol

[@DiecastShowCustoms]

@@DiecastResurrection I've never had that problem

[@strange-universe]

lol, now that is a Nova one didn't see everyday in the neighborhood. ( or mostly never ;) I like the wheels on the Cougar. Nova is a good night time ride. Glad to hear you sounding like yourself!

I like that you have done these customs on regular off the peg cars being that is the majority of most peoples collections.

[@damianmcadams4253]

Really dig the candy paint, even if it wasn't what you originally had in mind came out sweet, also like these customs you've decided to do really dig them killer Nova would like to see you do an older truck

Yup trucks are coming up! I want to do one too :D

Nice! Love those 66 / 67 novas

[@jonce6750]

nice job on the nova man you do great work

[@hestheMaster]

The best thing about these videos besides the awesome cars, are your sound effects! By the way I think Jimmy's trailer has an upside down back door. The silver rectangle on it is probably a jalousie window and too far down ! It's a Woodland Scenic building. Retails for $74.99 , which is almost the price to buy a real one , ha,ha!

[@DiecastResurrection]

Yea I saw it at the hobby shop and just started laughing, just had to get it.. It was kinda pricey!

[@DiecastResurrection]

Jimmy is like Martin Riggs on that lethal weapon series on Netflix lol

[@joegoveia6499]

For the grille, use some tamiya panel liner black. It's a watered down black that soaks into the low spots and leaves the high spots chrome. Works wonders on any model!

[@DiecastResurrection]

Ill look into it Joe, I have a few washes here I've never thought about using them for that. I'm a noob when it comes to details I mostly like painting! heheh

[@joegoveia6499]

It really does an awesome job!

[@strivingx67]

Hit it out of the park again! Too bad the Black Cherry didn't work, but hope you try it again in the future. One tip/idea I have, for the tail lights. If you want a bit of "pop" to those tail lights, paint the tail lights with a Chrome pen (molotow) first, then for the red lens use some Clear Red paint (Tamiya). Of course you would have to brush it on with a very small brush, but I know you can handle that. :-). Makes the red look translucent like a real clear red tail light. Great job my friend. Loved this episode. Glad you are back to good health. Tell Jimmy I said "What's up?"

[@DiecastResurrection]

I can only handle the little micro brushes if daddy hasn't had his evening medicine lol Jimmy waved as always haha

[@321bytor]

So nice! Well done!

[@tomheckhaus7617]

Hey! Happy you're feeling better. Say, as far as customs, have you ever considered dropping the wheels and giving the car a look of competition suspension? When I was a kid we usually modified the suspension as a means to transfer the engine weight to the rear wheels. I think that would give the car a good look. I'm sorry after all that work, mixing, measuring, etcetera the car didn't come out that well. The dark red original plan sounded better. It did come out pretty nice though. Stay well.

[@francispalmer9737]

Needed more light at the end to see the full effect. Nice job

[@MrDonofrie]

Some paint mixing insight. Balancing clear is pure Binder and resin. Which a lot of pure pigments, metal flakes, and mika's are missing. Pre mixed colours have a ratio of balancing clear already in them, which is why you need to mix/shake them.

[@novadiecastman5251]

Awesome!!!! Thank you for doing the Nova, keep up the great work, don't give up on that paint their are plenty of Novas to do..I think you should try just red lines on one with a kandy color.. please

[@aaronking488]

I love the saved color scheme.. sweet job.. love me some muscle cars...

[@MultiJohnnyangel]

Any video with you live or otherwise would be awesome. I have started hot wheel restoration with some real beaters. One is a Gran Torino Stocker from 1970's that has severe gouges all over the body. The base is plastic and the front has a piece missing. They second car is a 1970's rodger dodger. The body cleaned up pretty well, but the base was plastic and trashed. The 3rd car is a 1970's Heavy Chevy. This also cleaned up ok and has a metal base. The 4th car is a Mustang Stock car from the 1970's. It has severe scratches in the hood and would take a lot of sanding which would destroy the metal body. The base shined up pretty well. Would like to send you some JPG images to see what you recommend. Haven't started painting yet, but I think I will follow your lead and do a silver primer coat followed by an enamel looking paint as most of the cars mentioned had enamel type paint. The wheels I may take from the M2 car kits that they sell at Wal-mart, or I will buy some more medium and large redline tires from the redline shop.

[@chha6439]

Great job as always 👍🏽

[@OutlawSpeedShop2001]

I know it wasn't the end result you wanted but it still came out awesome! The blood red is so dark all hy itself, maybe if you swapped it and started with the red and then added the black to it? I dunno, looks great regardless! And that trailer needs a Pabst sign on it lol

[@theklfonline]

I think black is a tricky colour to mix up with lighter colours for that exact colour, also considering it's only the second attempt with these paints, trial and error wins overall success. Once you get used to these paints I'm confident you will find the exact measurements you are looking for. The purple through the black still looks sweet and the sparkles on top are the icing on the cake, looks awesome👌😉 Jimmy seems much happier in his new abode, he just needs to find a sweet hot rod chick now😂

[@DiecastResurrection]

I have a feeling Im going to have to be more committed to the Jimmy story then I first planned lol
