Redline Restoration: 1969 Hot Wheels Redline Torero

[@jamesschulziii9098]

I'm not a Redline collector myself but I think they're some of the most beautiful Hot Wheels ever made I just want to say you do good work sir thank you. keep on preserving something that should be. :)

[@jetjazz05]

Wow, for this being made in '69 this looks like a hotwheels car that could be made today. Still looks good/futuristic.

[@2006gtobob]

It's just so satisfying watching your restoration and customization videos. I have a huge collection of hot wheels and matchbox cars, all new and on card, with maybe 60 on display. I'm not hard core and I don't have any idea if they're worth anything as I only buy what I like. I am going to expand what I do in this hobby now due to your vids and others giving me the desire to fix the old classics.

[@SBDavin]

Beautiful work! I was impressed how good you got the windshield to look. Bummer that the driver side back tire was cracked at the end of the video.

[@normb7114]

excellent job! I now have a point of reference when you talk about painting & polishing from watching previous videos. Thank you.

[@Kinkajou420]

That primer is amazing.

[@kiko12000]

Is it just me or do the cars always look bad ass with the grey matte primer?

[@Kimiskustomgarage]

Yeah look up from internet two lane black top 55 chevy. Aint that bad ass

[@transamcounty5631]

I really enjoy these restoration videos!

[@Solidzno]

Great video. I get stuck looking at your videos restorations, looking forward into making this my hobby.

[@painkillersclan]

what an awesome transformation... like those shows where they buy an old beat up car, and then make it awesome again! thanx for ALL your tips and tricks, im looking forward to the plated base look!

[@celticcharles9856]

Dude you are my hero, I collect or try to collect hot wheels. you are so cool bro.

[@rogersanderscustoms8121]

A little primer covereth a multitude of sin. Very nice restore.

[@baremetalHW]

well said sir.

[@asdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfas-x4k]

Can't wait to see the next coloring.

[@jelly0123]

Looks super good! Too bad about that windshield though. But you did an excellent job as usual!

[@baremetalHW]

Yeah... I will replace it sometime... i run across the windshields every once in awhile.. Thanks for watching!

[@mr.wonderful5011]

baremetalHW Or ypu could make it a convertible that would be awsome

[@crosshairsae868]

baremetalHW can you do a 1969 twin mill

[@laxr5rs]

Fantastic as usual.

[@Mighty442]

Why does the new wheel have a crack in it?

[@rvs8425]

Looks like a manufacturing defect

[@andrewwilson8317]

Mighty442 sounds like the Mexican cartels using it to smuggle drugs?

[@harryfinch4986]

Andrew Wilson ok then

[@woodymurphy4522]

I was wondering the same thing.

[@aspookyknucklehead1309]

Andrew Wilson haha

[@GoliathAngelus]

WOW,,Looks almost as new!

[@sauvalenzuela]

Im in love with all ur restorations bro, nice work :)

[@AnOfficialAndrewFloyd]

Have you ever tried the resin from a Fix a Windshield kit to fix the cracks in the plastic? It may be an automotive product, but it could work on toy windshields if you can get the resin to get in the cracks.

[@woodymurphy4522]

Much nicer to cast a new windshield. See the process below. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqaUg4ehjK10adE

[@kellyrobinson550]

A Floyd It's not a toy!😱

[@squidwardsuicidegaming5973]

Kelly Robinson But it is

[@Framed_Niner]

Hot wheels cars are toys.

[@SteveCole73]

Do you have any cars that, while old and beat up, you will not restore? Would love to see just a Q&A video about the world of collecting these cars and restoration. As usual, another great video, thanks for making it.

[@joemion666]

I wanted to know if you ever tried to use acrylic adhesive ( the kind you use to put 2 pieces together) on cracked wind shields?

[@jeffreyplummer6626]

That came out great looking. Where did you find the hood for this car?.

[@MiniModelsDiecast]

Fantastic work!

[@Enny_Gima]

Hey Baremetal, I'm currently working on a non-hotwheels related project that needs some paint. I'm interested in spectraflame, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea. In order to get enough spectraflame paint to cover a few square feet of surface, how much expense am I looking at? And is spectraflame a suitable paint for painting on top of another finish, such as satin clearcoat?

[@marcomezzanelli7055]

Outstanding!

[@michaelreece458]

Excellent job!

[@deandemarest4438]

Great color choice.

[@snakesdiecast7130]

Amazing results!!!! Thanks for your time & work loved the Video 😁👍🏼👍🏼

[@shootisttx15]

Another good video...really enjoyed it.

[@jweezy_864]

These videos are really cool. I enjoy your work.

[@baremetalHW]

Thanks!

[@fozzythemexican]

I found me a new hobby. cool channel.

[@Ironwright]

Have you ever tried polishing the metallic paint before applying the spectra paints? The metallic paint looks kind of fuzzy on this model like the air was too dry when you sprayed it. I wonder if polishing would fix this?

[@hernanrestauracarrosmartin7507]

hermoso !!!! felicitaciones gracias por los videos que realisas !!!!!

[@newcomerjason7791]

Great job! Love your videos

[@inkno701]

Is there any difference between cars with 1967 versus 1968 on the base? Thanks for the awesome and informative videos!

[@hwcmdls7905]

I'd love to see the white wheels on a redline. Always thought they looked neat

[@SmithMrCorona]

Question: for divots and dents in the body that can't be sanded or pounded out (or covered with primer), why wouldn't you consider using an auto body filler, like Bondo?

[@jamesschulziii9098]

Anthony Wheeler I don't see why not.

[@jamesschulziii9098]

I mean as long as it dries and can be lightly sanded heck I'd try it if a pit or dent was big enough and nothing else was working.

[@lcplic]

Use pinhole putty, no hardener needs and dried quick.

[@jaxel_ms1990]

The electropolishing tank may be the most satisfying thing I've never seen.

[@anthonyt8472]

Where did you find the screws to out the body back on with?

[@RB-fn2hs]

Like your video's very helpful. I have a question where did you get the white wheels that are in your parts case?

[@ricky107_]

your voice is realy relaxing and the video too

[@13garage._]

what aboug bigger scale models?

[@baremetalHW]

I do a lots of larger Items but do not make videos of them... So many people doing this already..

[@zicnov4794]

baremetalHW I would love to see the bigger scale one cars

[@heetparekh1630]

Where did you buy the set with different types of wheels

[@TediI47]

Could you give us a more specific name or link to the small axlebending you showed? I don't really have a lot of tools, but i sure do have a lot of childhood cars i'm a afraid to damage that i just want to straighten the axles for. When looking for axlebenders i just find really overly complicated and expensive ones for derpy pinecars. Can't wait to see more of your stuff.

[@bttfdmc1984]

does redline shop offer wheels that the center sticks out cause your right side wheels have a different look than the lefts with the centers

[@baremetalHW]

you have a great eye... yeah I am not sure how I got those mixed up but the right side does have a different set than the left. I will pop them off and switch them out.

[@bttfdmc1984]

lol well i've looked at and own several redlines and just noticed they looked different. i thought they were the old re-issued one from mattel that had the center caps in place that were used on the 100% line and neo classics line. Also the left rear has a bad crack/split as well just to let you know.

[@djanoke-deepartberlin7076]

Very nice Work you do! i like your videos of Restoration! Thanks for let us be a part of this :) greets from Germany

[@SEGAdude95]

your restoration videos are awesome brother keep them coming.😊👍

[@Justinestabrook]

So what would you say is the cost of making this car and the value of it restored?

[@Hooptierescue]

love these video's keep it up

[@markanne54]

Thoroughly absorbing video, as always. I wonder, is it not possible to recast the windscreen in some sort of clear plastic - Just as an experiment maybe?

[@eastcoastandloveit3857]

Love all your videos . Thanks for hours of great watching !!.

[@baremetalHW]

Thanks for watching!!

[@marcocinquini1985]

This model looks like the Charger III. Nice work! Despite that cracked wheel, why the right wheels have bulged center caps?!

[@1spunkymonkey2]

I am going to restore one of these. It is aqua blue, has nice wheels and the base in mint condition.

[@zebfail480]

I am startin out with restoration on hot wheels cars what tools do I need

[@sabrinaomand6275]

Where did you get the white redline wheels from? Plz respond

[@radar468]

Excellent job

[@mikelynn767]

my dad collects old hot wheels and would love if some were restored. do you restore cars for people?

[@dangeroustoys5668]

nice work👍

[@nikolaosstavrou5327]

you can use etch primer for automotive body work. the paint it self levels .even if you overdo it the paint wont cover the details

[@NitrousDiecast]

I love your videos, you are amazing at what you do! 😁👍🏻

[@IntegraDIY]

great video!

[@jacksteinberg5874]

You do fantastic work. The torero is one of my favorite cars, to bad about the windshield. But she still looks hot!!! Have you ever done an"ice tea"?

[@angrybird32495]

Have you ever came across the hot wheels where the rear axle had a height adjustment? To give it the "lowered in the front, jacked in the back" look of muscle cars.

[@pinkchckn]

Oh gawd the 2 right wheels have a step between the rims and tires, and the ones in the left don't D:

[@BigTex8319]

Looks nice

[@Omnis_Ra]

what happened to the back left tire?

[@metallicarabbit]

sweet vid dude

[@jacobeevaughan1561]

can u try a death race custom from 2008 just if ur interested in something​ different

[@apodis4900]

Do you have a video about your electro polishing tank?

[@apodis4900]

Sorry, ignore that last comment, I found it. 😀

[@jimmymitchell2474]

real nice. looks as if you got extremely close to the spectraflame look

[@x7jcl756]

Wow you can really restore hot wheels

[@pboy124]

Hi, I love your work... Can you do f1 hot wheels car that has this years livery? I would love to try and do one but I really dont know where to start, I have to car so far an "f1 racer"

[@RetroZoneNeon]

So, I've been subbed for a while now and you always seem to struggle with getting the metal nice and polished for a good base under the paint. I saw on another channel that a guy wire brushed the body to remove the corrosion, then polished it with a dremel like you do with the paint. It came out nearly flawless, maybe you should give it a shot

[@baremetalHW]

I have been moving away from polishing the metal all together... sometimes you luck out and get a car that can be polished.. but most of the time there are issues you can't polish out. This car for example had a large dent in the roof that would not be easy to remove.

[@mantaholy6845]

baremetalHW so... I do not do this stuff because 1: I lost most of my hotwheels and I do not wanna buy them and 2: I would probably dent the body while sanding. Basically, I would ruin the car somehow.

[@RetroZoneNeon]

baremetalHW So, the channel was WheelsNthangs and he also fixed a smashed and dented roof on the same car. Maybe you should check it out if you haven't already

[@spike17spiegel]

Very nice!

[@baremetalHW]

Thanks!

You should apply gloss black and then the metal color, the result is much more convincing ;)
