Hot wheels restoration videos = Bob Ross.

[@kevinwade5681]

---100%, perfect comparison!

[@jkroiss]

A little mean green here and mmm just mmm

[@yourlandlord6374]

Send Bob

[@beltfeddestruction9522]

Who in thier right mind could dislike these videos this guy is an artist pure art straight up repairing forgotten history , I find this guy's content very awesome not just educational but very entertaining as well thumbs up from me bud keep it up

[@kaz_i_can-9746]

There is something super satisfying about these vids.

[@LucasDad]

Cool van. I like the color. And thanks for leaving a list in the descriptions.

[@Motorsport1521]

I wouldn't say it turned out ok... Id say it turned out great! Huge difference. Awesome job.

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

Yota Life The paint job was pretty rough, I've seen better!

[@unnamedracer9757]

So true

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

ScrapFans I wouldn't have even bothered painting this to be honest. Smashing it to small pieces on concrete with a claw hammer would have been more fun.

[@HiddenCreekQuail]

Sweet restoration! I thought that the chrome turned out pretty good even though you didn't feel it was smooth. The van look great! Thank you for sharing!!! Awesome Video Bro!

[@WheelsNThangs]

Thank you!

[@hudsonja]

You've just created a monster. I have an addictive personality, and now I'm about to be addicted to rehabilitating old hot wheels cars. Thanks!

[@WheelsNThangs]

Ha! I hear ya, I'm a bit of the same way!

[@jg24diecast41]

Thanks for another entertaining and informative video! Love how those side markers pop against the green!!

[@benjammn2157]

I am quite surprised channels like this exists, but am I glad they do, your voice is soothing, if i ever feel sad or mad I usually listen to music as my usual subscriptions haven't posted so I just listen to my Spotify songs, this will be something I will use if I ever need it, thank you

[@WheelsNThangs]

Thank you!

[@cagonzal13]

That grill and front end looks awesome. WOW!!!! Great job 👍

[@ericmcginnis2097]

I dont think I could have given this one to a child. It came out so well i would have liked to have seen replacement decals installed. I hope to get one of these, one day!

[@jordanbrige8848]

I love watching things like this and you do a really good job on such a small thing. I also like how you put everything in the description

[@MandatoryFruit]

That looks awesome just watching this makes me feel like a little kid again

[@wackywavinginflatablearmfl3685]

Didn't think this would be so fun too watch, well it's 3am I guess I'll still be watching these till at least 7am

[@Lazarus-aap]

Those wheels look awesome on this van! Good job

[@DUTTY245]

That would look awesome with the mystery machine paint job

[@dutchvandermorgan6226]

Hybridism Doobie doobie Dooooooooooooo. Like, zoinks Scoob, it's a guhguhguh ghost!

[@laurentbelin2194]

Excellent job! I had missed this video... glad I found it! I recently found the same van (also green) but had been painted with a thick white paint. I'll soon try a restoration.

[@jaystrongwater8029]

Turned out clean af

[@dudeimperfect4632]

First time to your channel. It was the most satisfying video I saw all week on YT. Held my attention the entire time.

[@WheelsNThangs]

Thank you, I appreciate it!

[@lush-fm7683]

this is an awesome restoration, but man that van looked like it had some major love growing up.

[@originthehero504]

These are so relaxing to watch

[@hickr7451]

Look at that front wheel gap and stance this thing is awesome

[@tanovw]

Those wheels really stands it out really good, great job

[@bjscustoms]

Very cool van build man. It looks so good

[@cmm2017]

Love your restoration videos! Keep 'em coming!

[@donaldswink6259]

Sweet restoration, nice job. Lucky grandson.

[@camross47474]

What a great grandfather

[@frankschuler2867]

Red nail polish on Hot Wheels...reminds me of being a kid. That's the only color Mom had, so that's what I had to go with. Lol. Great job on the restoration and the video!

[@vappkustoms7588]

Thanks for sharing your videos are very educational! I use Simple Green for plastic parts won’t hurt the plastic even takes chrome off as well!!

[@c0smicwaverider]

My inner child is saying thank you! Brilliant

[@angelvides5232]

I watched a couple of these videos, .... now i am addicted to watch them...!!! :-)

[@KennethBrownComics]

The little van is looking tough especially with those Wheels... I'm digging the stance

[@SEGAdude95]

Awesome restoration. It came out nice...you're restorations are 4 year old gold.😉😊😃👋👍👍✌

[@bradmoore3206]

Nicely done!

[@jonienglish3231]

I also ADDED a Black LED ( Stanley from JApan WING ) it was SICK !!!!!!!! I Wish GM would come back with a Retro VAN !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@randomlollipop2287]

I was a hot wheel kid not a lego kid so this is now my new favorite channel

[@jimcurtis5177]

Turned out great. Looks like a great hobby

[@eq_]

He had the chance to write free candy and he never

[@Jimenezzz808]

Exzileh lol

[@cmr2079]

For paint on plastic you can soak it in a degreaser like Purple Power to strip it off without harming the plastic. I've also heard brake fluid works too, but I've never tried it.

[@mrtom2854]

Your voice is really calming and relaxing

[@BlutoBlutarsky]

Interesting. Most of the ones I remember had a plastic chassis. Nice work.

[@Jay.C]

Looks awesome !! Love it. Can't wait to watch the rest of your videos . Subscribed! :)

[@jwarz727]

Love the videos. But I have a challenge for you. Restore only half a vehicle. So you get the before and after all in one vehicle.

[@WheelsNThangs]

Interesting!

[@mokopa]

Great minds think alike! I suggested the same thing to baremetalHW a few months ago :) They must totally do it.

[@MeanJohnDean]

So do they do one end or just the top or bottom.

[@Banshee2712]

Wow thats amazing. Im glad i stumbled upon your video. You have earned yourself another sub, good sir. Really enjoyed the fact that its not one of those videos with the overplayed music with the original video being at like 5x speed. Really liked the talk through. Kept it interesting so i wouldnt just jump to the end to see the finished product lol Great video 👍👍

[@antonio-tt7js]

Quedó genial!! Impresionante cambio 👏👏👏👏👏👍👍

[@edwinzavala8827]

Turns out awesome. Love your videos dude

[@LTSJR1]

Looking good especially for what you started with 😎

[@armandomederosjr.1247]

It looks tough as hell lol. Love the rake

[@_BAD_MERC_]

Soaking those plastic parts in brake fluid will remove the paint without damage.

[@barranness]

I really enjoyed watching this Vid. Thanks for sharing. Please post more.

[@louloop9137]

Great restoration. Hoping for a fix to have moving wheels and custom stickers to match the original design. Checking your other videos now 😎👌🚐🔥

[@outafilmlozoya7955]

Why is this so relaxing ?

[@gadgettvcars9555]

I love your job, it's really nice👌

[@Zrca5]

I love these videos please keep up the good work.

[@heathkinn]

You did a great job!!!!

[@me-cq7wv]

Looks fine to me sir. Good job considering what you started with.

[@jorgedelgado3310]

beautiful restoration

[@razvan-sorindumitru719]

He restored the mystery van,look at that. Scooby Doo must be so happy!

[@TooTopShawty]

That pore camero it had an amzing livery

[@MrCatalina31768]

Wow at the things people get interested in. Nice work

[@semper5recon]

Impressive work

[@gametechbuilds3755]

Wow came out beutyfull specially that you got the wheels of that camaro theres handfull of those and it looks great that you decided to do rubber tires that all i do on my hot wheels great video 👍

[@MiguelY22]

Awesome video. I saw this on the home page

[@WheelsNThangs]

Thank you!

[@daddynutz024]

Great video nice restoration.

[@theslushygoldfish]

Whoa! This looks cool!!

[@monsterhobbiesonlinestore]

Looks great! You should color in the two back windows though.

[@garyvaughan6920]

Cool little van

[@adamhonda98]

I love it with the wheels it came out awesome

[@The1queencollector]

Would you or have you restored something like the vintage diecast Batmobile, that would be something different.

[@malikbuchanan6162]

This is actually pretty cool to watch

[@Led94Zeppelin]

Good stuff man

[@1BlubeTube]

The wheels from that camaro loooked so good on the van.

[@jusb1066]

haha , kids first experience of stealing a police van and fast mexican body shop repaint, GTA !

[@F4collector]

Really enjoyed watching this . . . Tom (F4collector)

[@Dirks_NUMA_Files]

Looks like night and day from what you started with. The wheels look fantastic on this van. This would be amazing if you were able to get the original decals on it.

[@ashleighcartwright5186]

Interesting video Was surprised to see it in my suggestions, gave it a try and I immediately subbed. Thank you for making these videos It's interesting to see toy restoration

[@WheelsNThangs]

Thank you!

[@garyvaughan6920]

Looks cool

[@gearjammer4779]

Looks much better !👍

[@TonyEden]

Awesome! Following as usual. :)

[@_mac_killer4565]

a ittle trick i use to make plastic like the windsheild clear again is easy and simple. just a piece of clear tape. the adhesive fills in the scuffs and he tape stays smooth enough for a nice finis. easy to cut with an razer knife too.

[@WheelsNThangs]

Great tip!

[@ianwinfield929]

For some reason, this is very therapeutic

[@generalpatzer6893]

Nice save!

[@bassandbeer]

Great Work

[@bluecatdiecast7520]

cool custom!

[@JoePuffenbargerII]

For buffing plastic, after working up to 3000 grit, finish with mothers mag wheel polish. You mentioned that you had it in your last video. It's great on plastic, you'll get a shiny brand new look

[@revzillo]

Great machine, it's a good restoration job, I'd love to have see the van in Orange though, (yeah its my favourite color) but this looks good considering what you started with, nice job on the windscreen too ! Nice one

[@Fanbladetowers]

Awesome thanks for sharing🙌🎉

[@MechaFenris]

Looks good!

[@JT-un7dc]

I painted one of the black vans like the A-team. when I was a child.

[@siccreations1287]

Have you tried Krud Kutter? it takes longer but it wont damage plastics. I use it all the time and love it!!

[@WheelsNThangs]

I'll have to give it a try!

[@olhodesauron8770]

I Love your job. Perfect.

[@smokencoffee]

Looks good. You can get plenty of military decals to put on this vehicle. Do an EBAY search of 1/72 Scale US Army markings.

[@PontiacBandit]

The wheels look waaaayyyyyyy better on this van!

[@camokid_za1520]

I did flip my lid 😩😩 I love camaros *sigh* especially since its a Forza version... at least its for a good cause

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

Camokid_ZA The Camero body will be scrapped later. The way I do it is crush them in a vice then pound them to smithereens using a claw hammer on a concrete slab. If you hit them enough, the white metal fatigue fractures and breaks into small fragments.

[@larryhenry719]

Nice and good choice on tires.

[@rigoluna9518]

Cool van!!!

[@shanerich8680]

The wheels look sweet!

[@GobotWars]

Looks great!;

[@danrussell3439]

Great job 👍👍👍👍👍

[@David-wn9qo]

Nice job.
