I dont know how I got to this channel but I did, farout, brings back some memories for sure, I had this car too, and many others you feature from the 70's

[@captaincoyote1792]

Somewhere down in my basement, “resides” all of my original Matchbox, Hot Wheels and Johnny Lightning cars (yep, I’m in my mid-60s, my late mother and father still had them….and now, once again, I have them). Many are pristine…and I know some of them sport the appropriate “battle scars of play hood”. I’m not really eBay savvy, nor do I care to be. I have marked that particular box as potentially valuable, should I pass before my wife, so that she doesn’t just throw it into a Goodwill bin. I do enjoy watching these childhood relics restored to “like new” condition, along with a couple of fingers of a high quality bourbon. Bravo-Zulu! Well,done….that purple came out so well!

[@mooseyman74]

Great work, enjoyed watching this, a scaled down version of Wheeler Dealers :)

[@jetairon]

Nice job. But why did you not primer the surface before. And then sand to get a better finish?

[@baremetalHW]

The point of this video was to address several people who were complaining that sanding the car was destroying the nickel plated surface... This video was as good as I could get without sanding and priming it... in more resent videos I do sand and prime... I try to address what my viewers bring up in the comments... thus this video is a result of comments left in my mustang video..were I sand the crap out of the model to get all the pits out. Unfortunately you don't get to choose what video KZbin promotes... I would not have chosen this one as it only represents the best I could do not sanding the car. Many of my videos, like this one, are just experiments... showing different ways at going after an issue or tackling a viewers concern. Not every video ends with a perfect looking car.

[@productplacement4743]

Nanis Meelasla its best to. Easier to paint, you dont have to worry about getting it on any other parts

[@chordkc734]

Or, what i do is i mask off the rest of the car, dip a toothpick in the colour i want and paint in the tiny details. then after they are dry scrape away what you dont want then clear coat it.

[@Fastrabbit98]

Cameron Crane me too just caught my attention :)

[@keithlucas6260]

I did a real 69 Camaro SS back in 77, and the resto-mod job took 3 months. Every piece of trim, molding, etc. was removed, and the car was stripped down to the original paint/primer. The body was perfect, straight, and had no filler. Next was six coats of primer with a guide coat on top, and after a week of block sanding was sealed. next was a scuff pad and wipe before setting her in the booth for a day and half to acclimate and let any vapors off. For paint was 78 Corvette dark blue metallic lacquer, and four coats of it. This was followed by water-sanding to take off the glaze and open it up for the next step of two coats of clear with a teaspoon of blue pearl in it. Driving this car down Sunset Strip in LA was a blast at night.........seeing this done to HW cars was refreshing at the least.

[@cameroncrane3770]

Keith Lucas that's cool,the first car I bought and restored was a 72 camaro split bumper,and the paintjob was well......pretty much gone so I primed it with and black primer coat,gold base coat I think I did a metallic gold base coat and then I did a candy apple red paintjob over that and then wetsanded and buffed etc etc but I did the black interior with leather bucket seats and a brushed steel I got from another project I put in door panels and across the dash as decoration and a holley 650 4 barrel carb(I believe), I had on and then the edelbrock intake I took apart and put a k&n high performance filter and cleaned out the motor cause I felt that's all that really needed to be done other than the carb and stuff I did but as a teenager as soon as I got a offer to buy it and I saw the cash I went for it and I kinda wish I kept it but I'm kinda glad I didn't at the same time

[@andrenof5938]

Cameron Crane some hot wheels are worth as much as a real car if you're lucky enough to find the rare ones

[@rawovunlapin8201]

[@nathanmayer711]

I found that a lot more interesting than I thought I would. nice job.

[@THRILLSON2183]

does this change the value at all?

[@chdreturns]

MrDeathChicken Yes it actually makes it worth less.

[@THRILLSON2183]

thats what I figured

[@baremetalHW]

Restored cars go for less than original cars of the same condition for sure.. I could probably get 25$-50$ for this car restored. I paid 5$ for it. A near mint original can go for several hundred.. I don't have a mint original... I have a 5$ car that I can sell for more than 5$.. I am rather sure that is not "worth Less"... People sell restored cars on ebay all the time and I am sure they are not doing it at a loss... www.ebay.com/itm/Hot-Wheels-Redline-1968-HK-Honey-Gold-Custom-Cougar-White-Int-Restored-/291981756179?hash=item43fb780713:g:wR0AAOSwo4pYXsef

[@csyarid]

I've been buying and selling Hot Wheels and Matchbox for 30+ years and have a few thousand in inventory. I can say without a doubt that blue Camaros are not selling for hundreds of dollars and if you can get $25-$50 for that resto then you should jump on it but I think you are way high on your estimate. Also considering the man-hours invested it really isn't worth doing for $25. Don't get me wrong you did a nice job but if you are in it for the money then you are going to lose big time.

[@boataxe4605]
