Challenge day tomorrow with TimeRider we are doing a "Muscle Makeover" Be sure to head over there and drop some blubs! Posting at 2PM Central Daylight Time (GMT -5) Wait till you see what I got cookin.. lol kzbin.info/door/Rr_WxhUUG_A8hCuX8OkdDQ

[@chrishobbs236]

can you you challenge someone to a rat rod build i loved the look of that truck. the 55 looks great as well thanks for the video

[@CaptainHowdyOG]

Awesome!... This should be fun!...... Oh yeah.... YES!.... RATROD CHALLENGE!... Outlaw perhaps?...or better. See if you could do dual challenges. Example. You challenge Danny on a car/topic, and then it flips. He picks the subject. This way two resto heads get to try another's style. Like Ratrod challenge then Road Warrior, or whatever! The way you guys have formed a community around HW/MB etc resto is so much fun. My wife thinks I'm nuts.

[@tangohunter1548]

I really like that the challenges are for promotion of the hobbie, keep up the great moves!

[@CaptainHowdyOG]

Dude.... You're on to something. That purple looks deep. It's a highway star. 😉

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooo now that's the way to revive a casting and turn out a real head turner. Thanks for the info from the UK . 'Top Job Fella' ;-)

[@davemuckeye]

Thank you. I've added this 'how to' in my library of how tos for future referral when I start up my own "Shakey Restorations" channel... you'll get full kudos of course... 👋🏼👌🏼👍🏼

[@DiecastResurrection]

I look forward to seeing your channel man!

[@NovaGraphics2C]

Customs always get a thumbs up from me.

[@alkydaklown]

Great video as always. Can i recommend for your next video a jimmy touch up. He looks like he could enjoy a few days in the spa.

[@johnnyvscustomsgaragetassie.]

Now That's Zinc'n the Blubbed degree. Sweet. Jimmy would be proud.

[@danielaguero3766]

That 55 Nomad came out Badd Ass love how it looks with those wheels.

[@strawberryhellcat4738]

Great tech video of the zinc plating process, and the car turned out sweet - purple is an excellent color for large bodied vehicles (like HOK's Burple on late 40's lead sleds). Love those Torque Thrust wheels and wide back tires too! One of these days, maybe you could try one with just a hint of color over the zinc - let the silver shine through. Poor Jimmy however, has seen some better days - think he needs to head over to Floyd's for a guy makeover. Also, 0:45 and 13:32 - you're clearly enjoying the innuendo as much as your viewers!

[@krazykat3063]

the nomad... my favourite car.

[@shawnkitts7516]

Great job! I have one of these Alive 55's from when I little. It's not as rough as this one but I would still like to restore it at some point. Can't wait until the next video! Blub blub blub blub!

[@BangAsoursRex]

You can tube the axle if you want to, but leave the crusties behind. This nomad turned out shibby as fudge, I like it!!

[@DiecastResurrection]

What up JAY P!!??

[@BangAsoursRex]

Just chillin, and catching up on some of you're vids man, I'm diggin on what you did with this one!!

[@2meterPeter.]

Ok. This is now my most favourite car on your channel. Who doesn't love an old school bench seat!

[@DiecastResurrection]

This is your favorite? This crusty blackwall ??

[@2meterPeter.]

@@DiecastResurrection yep. Closest thing so far to an old EH Holden station wagon.

Other than the wheels which I like this is your best pure restoration yet.

When you set up the zinc plating apparatus I could hear Gene Wilder as Dr Frankenstein exclaim "Life! Give my creation LIFE!" Great job and always fun watching your work. 😁🐾🐶

[@johnoreilly2782]

By far my favorite as a kid. Awesome job!

Eh from Ontario too

[@axelwulf6220]

I actually like how you just explained the plating setup and acted like it wasn't a big deal Other restorers either refuse to show it again because reasons, or never explain it at all

[@SC-mq1eh]

zinc, FTW! and those wheels made this build!

[@bigjohn7688]

Add 2 small grooves on the ends of the brass tube (axle) for a more stable and lasting fit. (Glue has something more to bite into instead of smooth on smooth) Gorilla glue is good, I use JB Weld for a more permanent application. The purple was sick and deep and the wheels looked great.

I love your work and dedication. Some of the hot wheels car's you restored were crying for some TLC and you provided with extreme care. Keep up the good work and great videos.

Thanks Ronald, I like to always have a project going. This is pretty cheap compared to throwing money at real cars all the time :D

@@DiecastResurrection out of curiosity what does it cost to restore a car. I used to collect but I put it aside and never got back to it. Never thought of restoring them.

Damn I remember when I was a kid I used to take my hot wheels apart chance out wheels and scape all the paint off then repaint them with my mom's finger nail polish. Lol. Hot wheels restoring came along ways some of you do get serious about it. Lol.. that's cool love the videos..

[@DreamHachi]

Now that is one hell of a nice looking car. Love it, especially since its a nomad

[@recoilgaming4123]

Have to say. I love that color!! Oils of been a great car to put a small battery in back and drill out head lights and put small fiber led lights in place.

Its only a matter of time Drew.. I want to repaint all the ones Ive got on the shelf now *sigh

[@nickwiley3655]

@@DiecastResurrectionmost people think I'm crazy but try taking some 12,000 grit to one for a quick dry sand. I'm to the point that unless it's near mint, every new to me redline I add to my collection gets that done before I take any show off pictures. Only figured out that trick because I spray a lot of Createx Candy2o over polished castings. That 12,000 gets me damn near to a mirror finish before I even touch the buffing wheel.
