Redline Restoration: Hot Wheels 1969 Twin Mill

[@BitoJoose]

Turned out great. The engine swap was a great idea. It looks a lot better.

[@blenderbachcgi]

It's not completely a restoration though, but It's ok

[@BitoJoose]

@@blenderbachcgi I'm ok with it. It looked good

[@spycy4781]

Its more of a Renovation or Update

[@Rekonsoepic]

@@blenderbachcgi boy it's a full restore he had to use cuz would you want something that look brand new

[@baconemore]

Love ur phrasing, anunciation, word structure as in sentence formation. Love ur customs and restores and the great dialogue. It's been a while, we missed u.... customizer to customizer CHEERS-well done!!!!

[@doodbro931]

That looks awesome. You should make a new updated version of a complete redline restoration how-to since your audience has grown much larger. Since it is been so long since you first made the video, you can show all the new techniques you have learned since then like zinc plating, electropolishing, etc. , and maybe some alternatives for those who don’t have the tools, that way new viewers won’t have to ask so many questions, and I won’t heave to hear why you clip the wheels off rather than pull them off every time😂

[@baremetalHW]

Not a bad idea!! I will look into doing that!

[@stuchly1]

that would be awesome!

@@baremetalHW Can u send a link or email for a car restoration

[@BrownSofaGamer]

I honestly can’t put my finger on it, but I feel this resto has been your best one to date. Everything about it just turned out so right, and the engine transplant worked great.

[@jayr5331]

This restoration is AMAZING!! Great work. The paint is awesome and all the rest of this restoration resulted in another great job!

[@kenwinston2245]

Twin Mill always a fave. As a kid i remember being genuinely delighted when this and other new models were introduced, thank you for giving them shiny new lives😃 It's an endless task, taking detail to perfection, but smoothing the seams and edges of these beauties makes them look great. You're really not fooling anyone once the pins are drilled away and repro wheels put on.

[@westonward735]

Wonderful job on an iconic car. Just enough flash removal to make the car presentable. The paint and the engines look great. Seems like it is always to long between your videos. You are definitely one of the best, thank you for sharing all of your tricks and techniques.

[@InfernoPhilM]

This is the one we’ve been waiting for! Twin Mill is the best HW of all time.

[@brandoncraddock3081]

Phil Meeks It is honestly such an iconic car! I also love the splittin’ image as I feel they are similar in spirit!

[@themetavirus]

The Twin Mill is the only staple of the franchise

[@thecatsnailthing2332]

I agree, every time you see it you know what it is, if you’re into hotwheels

[@MatchboxResurrection]

You always put a lot of effort on your castings.... from electropolish, Zinc plate, sanding.... Great job

[@phecez]

Super interesting explanation of the flashing issue. That's a really thoughtful attitude.

[@1sixscalecrafter351]

Hi baremetalHW, Good day to you, This Redline Restoration: Hot Wheels 1969 Twin Mill turned out AWESOME! The engine swap was a great. Take care, wishing the very best, and hope you have a creative fun week. Thank you for sharing your time, talents, ideas, and Super Excellent Fun Videos. Peace & Joy

[@bobbailey5072]

Great build, man. Loved the way you retro-fitted the newer engines. I’m sure the customer will be stoked when he gets it back for his collection. I real beauty.

[@2nd_a_dad4791]

Beautiful! You and your fellow HW restoration artists on YT continually amaze me. Fantastic work, well done!

[@gustavefrankfurter6462]

You are the best Hot Wheels restorer! Since you began, a bunch of other people are doing it, but you are still the best! 👍

[@iriefixdiecasts6338]

I just can't stop watching your videos. You are an inspiration to novice like myself.

[@deadlves]

Yes! Another baremetalHW video! You’re easily one of my favourite youtubers and I look forward to each and every upload. This car turned out brilliant as usual, great job .

[@michaelnissila1335]

I've been waiting for another copy to complete my resto. I thought I had one, but it turns out its a treasure hunt car.... so ya.... that ones not coming out of the package. Great job too!

[@notold37]

Beautiful restoration, and I will agree with you about the engines, they look pretty close to the old ones, love learning how to restore cars, 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘🦘From the land down under

[@DerBingle1]

At last! A classic Red Line restoration video! Great and hypnotic as always. From watching virtually all your videos I felt that I had to have some Hot Wheels in my studio. Got some at one of those indoor non-stop garage sale places, no sign of any real Red Lines though.

[@udorechner6846]

Very nice car restoration. To replays the old Engines with the the newer was a good choise.

[@77PacerStudios]

That's one beautiful looking Twin Mill!! Personally, my mother had one of the original Twin Mills from 1969! Hers was colored Spectraflame Light Blue. Sadly, sometime in the early to mid-1990s, my older brother Stephen inherited the Twin Mill from Mom only to accidentally misplace it somewhere. Luckily, I have 2 Twin Mills! One is a Red 30th Anniversary Edition Twin Mill I got off Ebay in July 2017, and the other Twin Mill is the exact same colored HW Exotics Twin Mill from 2018 that is seen in this video. I even recreated the HW Exotics Twin Mill in Forza Horizon 3 as well! I don't know about you, but I believe that at least some original Twin Mills from back in the day had their engines feel like they were somewhat loose or something. The fact that the engines were originally separate parts from each other may be the explanation for why the engines felt loose. Apparently Mattel must've noticed this and joined the engines and cockpit together to fix this issue.

[@brandoncraddock3081]

The Twin Mill is a must-have redline in my opinion and I’m glad that there are many modern examples for younger kids to have one in their collections! I have 3 redline examples; one in antifreeze, one in green, and the rose one in this video

[@77PacerStudios]

@@brandoncraddock3081 Sweet, glad you have the same awesome taste for the Twin Mill that I have! I even went as far as not only recreating my blue HW Exotics Twin Mill in Forza Horizon 3, but also creating this video of mine here featuring the Twin Mill in both real life in-game: kzbin.info/www/bejne/amfcgJp9o7Vpmtk I simply spliced together gameplay footage with real life footage to make it convincing, lol!

[@FranklyPeetoons]

It's always a treat to watch someone else do precise, exacting work. Because of your channel, I subscribed to all the other toy restoration channels. I can't get enough restoration action! Competing offerings lack the quiet competence and purity of this channel, however. BaremetalHW videos are almost hypnotic.

[@twisteddrifter8385]

Holy crap.. amazing! Good job, keep it up! 👏

[@gencofunded]

Twisted Drifter hey twisted! Didn’t think I’d see you here! How’s it been homie

[@its.fernando.bernal]

No hablo inglés pero disfruto mucho de ver tus videos, son increíbles, un gran trabajo. ❤️

[@stephanmotzek779]

Normally I do not like these Kind of cars. But what you did is amazing. Now this car looks quite cool

[@GTvsForza]

I am a big fan of the Twin Mill ever since Forza Horizon 3. I have 2 cars: An original one in Black with Red flames and the modern 50th Anniversary.

[@willambernahecooking4036]

I have those same two! The black with red flames was a 2009 release though. The 1969 date on the bottom is a copyright. There should be an alpha numeric code though, A being 2008, B is 2009, etc., and the number being the week in the year. That being said, I repainted mine black with a dark blue racing stripe, made a crash bar with rally lights, repainted the wheels, and added a lift. The old windshield was bad, so I made one. Completely screwed any collectability.

[@GTvsForza]

I think the oldest HW I have is a Mazda MX-5. I looked it up on the wiki and it shows it was made in 1995. It's the dark red one. It's in fair condition for its age. The paint is chipped a lot on the front bumper, but other than that it's still an okay car.

[@willambernahecooking4036]

@@GTvsForza Nice! I haven't any older cars. . . Still new to the hobby. . .

[@acasualescapedscp4418]

I think this turned out great! I Enjoy your style of restoration, where you try to keep as much of it as original as possible, using the old parts and keeping minor imperfections, where a lot of restoration channels replace a lot of the older bits (looking at you, knife restoration videos). Keep up the great work!

[@marcellobomfim5629]

I like this restoration, but the color of the car. The original red was much more beautiful. Thanks for sharing...

[@kjamison5951]

Superb result and innovative use of modern components to fix the original car. Nice job!

[@bttfdmc1984]

I do need to correct you on the statement at 7:40 on the manufactures dates starting in 2008, Mattel began using base codes for Hot Wheels vehicles. The base code can be used to identify when an individual vehicle was actually manufactured in the Hot Wheels factory. The L03 on the blue twin mill means it was made in 2019 in the 3rd week. Also the years mean the car was first copy right in 1969, a re tool in 2011, and in 2014 the new one that was released in 2019 as a t-hunt has an 18 for it's new plastic base.

[@johnpritchard7722]

Looks great, also liked it with the blue base

[@TheHappyColour]

This was a pretty rad video! No idea people restored these cars. Pretty slick!

[@edham04]

I HAVE THAT SAME CAR I'VE HAD SINCE I WAS YOUNG,ONE IS RED AND THE OTHER IS GOLD.

[@deepjunkgarage]

As usual, well done ! Updating the car with new engines was definitely the best way to go ! 🍻

[@Tiger351]

Great job! Those modern reproductions seem like a great source of replacement parts, I've seen several other restorers on youtube use the windows and other parts from new cars to restore their classics from the 60's and 70's.

[@tigdogsbody]

Wow, neat, my favourite hot wheels car. That car could fly underwater and above and go into space.

[@bicyclist2]

WOW! Great job. Hot wheels made a real life twin mill. The show Gas Monkey Garage went to see it at Hot Wheel headquarters.

[@josephlowry4320]

The Twin Mill looks brilliant dude, magnificent job with the engines bro I love it.

Heyy! Missed your videos. I don’t even own any toy cars, I just love your passion and skill hahah 😊 The final product looks rad as well!

Love it. Chemistry and History and restoration lesson all in one video. Brilliant job.

Last Christmas I got a twin mill originally from 1969 it was never even touched it was shiny and it looked brand new and it was 50 years old! It is black with red flames!

[@bigboy9706]

Very nice restoration and that motor looks very good in there

[@boerharms2209]

Looks stunning! the new engines were a good idea! nice to see that the modern parts are so similar to the originals

[@RiverasHotWheels]

Good call on swapping the engines. The rose finish is beautiful 😎👍🏽 good work as usual.

[@KevinSmith-jh1ld]

Awesome restoration job and I love that rose colour. I have an old Beatnik Bandit in this colour and you're right, your camera's colour system makes it look too purple/pink. Ingenious replacement with the engines too, though it seems like the replacement exhausts stick out a bit compared to the originals. Just a side note at 7:48 to 8:00, the letter/number manufacturing code is clearly visible stamped on the base of the newer Twin Mill - 3rd week of 2018. It's usually pretty easy to tell when any given car was made since 2008.

[@brandoncraddock3081]

I believe the rose is much more pink because of the brighter polished finish before painting. I’m the one who sent this one in and I’ve compared it to a couple of original rose cars and it’s just a little brighter than it’s peers

[@TuberculoAsesino]

Amazing video and restoration. The Twin Mill its my favorite original design. Keep up the good work!

[@williamlee1429]

As all of the other decisions you've made, good choice on the engine replacement. Fabulous job!

Great job. The updated motor looks more detailed. I like it.

I have a hotwheels car like this one and i was going to upgrade it but i had no idea how to thanks for the idea!! :)

[@brandoncraddock3081]

Really great work and honestly one of your best finishes I’ve seen yet. I was wondering what could be done about the engines when I sent the car in, and honestly I think the engine transplant was the best option. Thank you so much!

[@tombarker3608]

Another great restoration. I remember my Twin Mill it was green.

[@PlowBenderStudios]

Yet another great restoration, baremetal! You had me a little worried as I hadn't seen or heard from you for over a week. Good to see you're still well and keep up the good work!

Nice to see a legend get restored

[@redcobra9588]

KZbin why you never recommended this Channel!

[@johnkelley9877]

I think it looks great and with it restored it preserves a little bit of Hot Wheels history.

[@leslieschramm6252]

Cameras use UV reflection to focus. The UV can be detected by the camera, and it alters the received frequency of some colours. Tiffin make a "Hot mirror" filter than can help. An easy way to see this effect is to point a remote control from a TV at the lens and watch the signal pulse come out of the UV LED on the front of the remote. Love the videos btw.

[@chemcody5119]

Looks great! Really takes me back to my childhood. Thanks!

[@schark30]

that rose color looked good when you were test fitting the body onto the blue one . still came out great

[@jdconrad7848]

Looks like the exhaust is a touch different on the new engines (sticks out from the body a smidge further) but honestly I think it looks amazing! Great work as always.

[@SweeneyDunston]

Great restoration as always. I dont do restorations but if I did I would have done the same thing with the engines. Keep up the great work.

[@gusthewiseone3247]

I must admit....I liked when you had the old body on new base. But I like the blue and purple together.

[@icenesiswayons9962]

The paint came out very nice but I think there has to be a slight difference in the engines as the pipes on the newer ones have a tendency to stick out on the sides. It could be a micrometer level difference in the lower body or engine, but it's still there somewhat if you'll agree. Thanks for the work, it's always great!

[@gettingnewbread5434]

I don’t like hot wheels or the history of them but these videos are always so satisfying hehe

[@tuxpowerpc]

Excellent restoration. I think you made the right choice in this case to replace the engines, I agree the chrome paint pen fell short. I am curious though, had you wanted to restore the old engines, I would have been interested to see how would you have done it? Thanks for another great project!
