Hi, Paul! The Red Baron was my very first toy car, so this has special memories for me. ✠ I have one needing restoration too. I've never seen anyone cast their own Redline wheels like this. Nicely done! And the metal tag too! You do brilliant work. Nice to see you working on a Hot Wheels car. Good practice for your April appearance as a Guest Four Horsemen! Take care and enjoy a lovely weekend. Greetings from Switzerland - Andrew 🍁👍

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much . I already bought the hotwheels model for April and I'm thinking how to convert it

You did an amazing job on this Red Baron. You never cease to amaze me with your skills and ingenuity. When I saw what you made on the lathe I thought, no he's not going to make a button. Yes, you made a great button. The package was equally as impressive. This has to be my favourite video of sll. Well done!

Had this as a plastic model once, but never got hold of the toy car. Nice Work!

[@randytaylor1258]

You're a magician, Paul! That was one messed up model. Polishing the metal helmet was perfect. The paint was awesome. The new tires were great, but when you painted the red stripes by hand, my jaw dropped. You have completely reversed my view of what can be done in these small scales. Bravo, my friend!

[@georgebusby6466]

I had one of these when I was much younger. You brought back many memories, one of those was the fact that their was a stylized spike on the roof/helmet of this car when it was originally released way back in the 1960's. This point I bring to your attention is in no way intended to cast any aspersions on the astonishing work you performed right before both mine and others' eyes. It is simply an observation. Nothing more.

[@randytaylor1258]

The real car, not the Hot Wheels. Other details were simplified', too. (Thr point on the helmet was called a pickelhaube.)

[@allanbruhn]

I actually had this car.

[@DoctorShocktor]

Yes and no. The original hot wheels had a taller “stick” on top. Kind of a very stubby cylinder like a tiny nipple, never a “spike” that was only on the model kit and the full size car. It was later reduced in the hot wheels car to this little “bump” which is dumb.

[@DoctorShocktor]

@@randytaylor1258 Not exactly. The first hot wheels cars had a tiny “stick” (round cylinder), very short, representing the spike of the model kit and full size car. It wasn’t much taller than the later bump you see here, and both were dumb, it needed a small point of some kind.

[@mickangio16]

[@terrybeechener5992]

very good,Paul.All early Redlines are worth silly money,even in bad condition.I have a few,but they are valued at £250 for a dozen, not in top condition!Even the tin badges can be upwards of £20 or more.

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much Terry

[@BeatniksVids]

When I was doing these Spectraflame colors I basically polished the body and sprayed over that with candy (clear) colors. I think the original was directly over the zinc coating which is why they get dark spots underneath on otherwise mint cars. Nice work, bringing back memories.

[@pumasgoya]

I had the Red Baron in 1973 when I was in third grade. I lost it in the sandbox at school. My dad took me back to look for it, but it was pointless. I finally got a reissue about 10 years ago.

[@robedmunds7163]

Delightful. We were really spoiled with the quality of these in the 70s, the paint finishes were great.

[@mickangio16]

Yes. The transluscent paint over the metal made a nice candy paint job. Together with the redline tires and chrome "mags" it made ANY Hot Wheels model cool. After a while the ones that I liked most had exposed engines.

[@redfive5856]

@@joshuamitcham1519 I have a vague memory from Hot Wheels coloring books that they were rivals. Could be 5 year old me just making them sworn enemies.

[@CoondawgPD]

I bought one of these for a hard earned dollar back around 1970 or so from a corner 5 n dime across from Lake Bottom Park next to St. Elmo School in Columbus. Had it for 1 day and forgot it at a friends house. Weird the memories you keep.

[@mickangio16]

I used to save my lunch money instead of eating to buy a model or Thunderjet slot car usually. When Hot Wheels came out and a couple kids showed them off at school I HAD TO have one. It was a particularly wet, sloppy, cold winter evening that I walked about a mile to Walgreens and bought a green Cougar. I think it was the only Hot Wheels car they had left that wasn't sold out.

[@ShadowsOnTheScreen]

That toy sure saw a lot more fun in the first 50 years of its existence than it ever will again!

[@PaulRestorer]

Cool

[@bbhunting1]

If I remember correctly the helmet of the car had a spike/cross on the top of it. I did not see that on your restoration. The reason I know is because I took mine off the car because everytime it would go through my Superchargers on my track it would hang up on that cross. So I removed it to keep that from happening. Amazing what you remember from when you were a kid. Great job on the restoration.

Pomysł na cienki, czerwony pasek na kołach - kółko zafiksować na wiertarce (najlepiej w statywie), wolne obroty, potem igłą (albo jakimś rylcem) wyryć stosowny, cienki okrąg, a potem w ten ,,rowek" wpuścić czerwoną farbę, a ewentualne nadmiary wytrzeć. Nie wiem, czy to ma sens, bo nigdy tego nie próbowałem. Pozdrawiam.

[@PaulRestorer]

Taki rowek robił hotwheels ale chyba na gorąco . Pomysł jest dobry ale kłopot polega natym że ciężko utrzymać kółko w wiertarce bo przy większym nacisku kółko się nie kręci. pozdrawiam
