Hot Wheels Redline Restoration: Mercedes 280SL - Zinc Plating

My Amazon Tools List - www.amazon.com/shop/diecastre...
Hot Wheels Redline Restoration: Mercedes 280SL - Zinc Plating. Today I restore a Hot Wheels Mercedes 280SL that was made in the 60's. A beautiful restoration using a real nice Spectra-flame Green. I had to zinc plate about 8 times to remove all the imperfections in the body before repainting. I love hot wheels redlines.

Here in Germany it was almost 1:00 am when the notification hit but I had to watch couldn't wait till the morning.

[@raeishimura]

Hey, love your work. You do some amazing stuff. Just wanted to offer an idea I think would be a great video. Back in the day, the original Hot Wheels packaging featured a car that was never made as a physical model for the time, a unique car usually called "the lost redline". Fact is, at the time, they didn't make it. Well, not too long ago, they finally made this car, which is now called the "Custom Otto". Seen it in stores and even built a Gaslands car using it as a base myself. But, I think it would be awesome for you to make the Custom Otto from the original package, a spectraflame blue with redlines version of the car, just like the classic packaging depicted. A true recreation of the Lost Redline as it were.

[@SporeZoo]

Any news on the track ? I'd love to see these baby's race. 😎

[@jethrow6670]

Man do I ever love the content you are putting out with this channel! I used to have one of those big blue totes filled with hot wheels and match box and every other brand you could imagine. Really wish my 7 year old brain could have thought to keep all of them instead of drilling them into the sand haha. Anyways good work to the both of you. Can't wait to see this channel grow even bigger

[@31tomcat]

The 280sl had a single overhead cam straight six engine. The model designation was W113, sometimes referred to as the "Pagoda roof". One of the most beautiful cars Mercedes ever built.

[@motherdetermined3348]

Haha I like the documentary “here we see a Mercedes in is natural habitat” XD! Make more redline restoration I like watching them.

[@norbertocostaful]

does anyone else just hit the like button as soon as video starts, cos you just know its gonna be good either way!

[@Tim-57]

Hey DR. Austin In my opinion, nobody does it better than you. Thank you for your content, I enjoy it all. Take care🙂

[@TinaMdot]

I love your prep Austin, she shown like a diamond after the plating and the polish. I'm so happy you're back.

[@drifterdragon]

“Gleeg, Gleeg, Gleeg” Awesome restore!!!

[@thebaconbrotato]

That's a nice emerald green. I approve.

[@brianartillery]

All that prep paid off. That little Merc is definitely easy on the eye! Nice one.

[@louisvictor3473]

Dude. Top notch job removing that oxidation and filling in the pits, it really elevates the work. PIMP!

[@bennetenglisch1467]

It's really nice to see this channel get going again. Really missed your restorations.

[@chrissellshomes150]

Cleary the best restoration that you have ever completed on the channel. WELL DONE!!!

[@toddhouse1495]

Damn! Mirror chrome. It’s very satisfying to see your work. 👍🏼

[@BulletNoseBetty]

Jimmy's jaw is on the floor and his eyes are popping out of their sockets. Love the colour, man!

[@tonybecker8491]

That mirror finish is insane. 👍

[@kungfuchimp5788]

Gawd I love your channel. Stress levels halved.

[@michaelparylak5649]

I zinc was like magic. At first I was psyched that you were going to paint it green. After the zinc process I had second thoughts. The end product was awesome. Green paint and all. 👍

[@TheRockinDonkey]

Man, I love watching the paint come off, the zincing process, the polishing, and especially your paint jobs. Good stuff. Sexy gloves too, man.

[@user-zv6ns2ki3u]

Super restorasion top cool top😊

[@jameshall4385]

The Mercedes looks great. One you mentioned a woman wearing leggings that are too tight, I look at your hands and can’t unsee it. 😱

[@lotharrenz4621]

same here. funny how the mind works. :)

[@ScottsafriendofGod]

Leaving a like saves lives... Bwa-Ha-Ha... I'm still laughing 😅

[@coolwheelz5190]

Can you do a video on your new zinc plating set up, settings, how to, etc?

[@sandykucharczyk292]

Aw man I have not seen you strip paint like that in a long time..... Satisfying

[@reh3ddoes]

Spandex: it's a privilege, not a right. :D

[@reh3ddoes]

Dude, this vid was a perfect restoration tutorial on zincing! Well done!

[@DiecastResurrection]

[@walshja81]

Another great one. I have zero interest in collecting or restoring stuff like this but I watch all your videos. Its one of my top 5 channels for sure.

[@davemuckeye]

At 0:07:43 … with a couple of clear coats, I think it would have looked truly amazing… notwithstanding your emotional bond to the Redline Green finish…

[@andyc3856]

Nice job,glad to see you back man. Love the redline restoration vids the best 👍

[@solitairesmith3553]

LOVE THE GREEN

[@AlexBabcock-hw9iz]

[@giovannisanseverino3549]

THAT'S LOOKING SWEET

[@duaneaaron2267]

Definitely your best restore yet!

[@winniehartono4967]

[@racerx009]

After that last polish you could clear coat it and make a super chrome redline hot wheel. Glug, glug, glug....lol

[@hugochristiankuttelpalomo4778]

Really Amazing the works sanding and nickeling and the prep love the final result

[@stephaniewright4336]

[@earlware4322]

Superb resto job on this one Austin!! I have to say, I don't usually like Redlines restorations, prefer customs and resto-mods myself, but I was rivited to the whole video. Your dedication to the prep and paint is stellar, have to admire you for that. 🙏 That was true mirror quality chrome when you were done with it. Amazing color!! Odd little car, but I can see why you like it. Great stuff, thanks for sharing, and keep on keeping on!!

[@mickeygriggs]

Wonderful restoration I am sure glad you made it back love your videos

[@mcgintymedia4316]

I saved a life.

[@wadehendryx7378]

I sold all my red lines not too long ago except for two. I had 29 and I sold 27. I kept the custom Volkswagen Bug and 280sl Mercedes. Mine was Olive green. It has no paint now. Now I've got to get up and see if it's got the blue windshield or the clear. Great job the cars beautiful I'm glad you guys are back. Take care.
