Redline Restoration: Hot Wheels 1970 Swingin' Wing

[@LAKster]

start of the video "How bad can the wing be? I think it might look pretty neat with a clean wing on it" End of the video "OHNOWHY"

[@BuzzcutGtr]

There will never be a better assessment than ^this^

[@basicbits6244]

It surely is a cornball design choice.

[@sheilaolfieway1885]

painted to look the same as the body it might be better.

[@Smurphenstein]

That wing was a disappointment. It looked like a cheap roof rack carrying a sheet of plywood. What were they thinking? Love the paint.

[@bradleyj.fortner2203]

The slide-out engine is very odd too. Strange car.

[@baremetalHW]

@@bradleyj.fortner2203 lol... they pulled the idea right out of there rear end...literally

[@Smurphenstein]

@@baremetalHW I am thinking with the spectraflame and designs that there could have been illicit substances consumed in the Hot Wheels design department during that era.

[@mercoid]

I also love the paint job. If it were me doing a custom, I’d have used the holes in the body meant for the wing to maybe 3D print some mat black air scoops.

[@joshirabin]

Dude chill it's the 70s

[@opheliamorrison7675]

"Done right the cap should fire off into the ether to be found by the Roomba which will complain bitterly" 🤣😂

[@plantedbasedman9845]

Song text material right there

[@onedeadsaint]

the algorithm brought me here, and I'm glad it did! I've never watched a Hot Wheels restoration before, but this was quite entertaining!

[@nathanielputralucky8533]

Nothing better than a monday afternoon eating pizzas and watching HW restorations.

[@TAD050486]

Sticking out like a sore thumb does not even cover how bad the wing looks. What a bad idea. Great job as usual, especially the windshield.

[@kjamison5951]

The wing is … words fail me. The rest of the restoration was pure unadulterated joy! That is a beautiful transformation!

[@AstralDragoon]

I expected the wing to not match the car's aesthetic, but good grief...it even has that 1950s kitchen appliance color.

[@archiebunker6059]

I have watched a lot of videos of people restoring these cars, this guy is a professional.

[@sohamsengupta6470]

That oxidation looks oxidized. Best way to describe a ton of oxidation here.

[@georgeshelton6281]

The cracked windshield could've been replaced.

[@bopaintsminis]

These are my favorite. Make liberal use of the electro-polisher and electro-plater. Thumbs up.

[@S4LtyTrIcKs]

Paint does look fantastic

[@fynbo1007]

The wing is out of mind to describe, love your diorama, makes your car look much better. Very beautiful restoration, thank you for sharing your amazing job. God bless you and your family

[@PatGilliland]

That wing does nothing good for the car - what were the designers thinking? Great restoration.

[@BRY0NZ]

Pat G that wing is ugly!

[@PaulRestorer]

Good job, best wishes from Poland.

[@ericfording3556]

They weren't thinking.

[@admiralicywolffeyt1465]

That wing would look good on a go cart

[@tavinmj]

Thanks for showing the final result for an extended period at the end. You knocked it out of the park.

[@kylejscheffler]

You've really come a long way in your presentation. Some of your earlier videos were very stilted, but now you seem to be much more comfortable in your delivery. Also I like the progress in your writing. The addition of more casual references and jokes it's really bringing it to the next level! I do enjoy your voice, you've got a good tone and diction. Keep it up, I'm waiting to see how you progress in the next few years! Also, I'd love to see more larger/detailed models being restored or customized!

[@baremetalHW]

Lucky you the next video is on a much larger car... thanks for the kind comments!

[@shrimpssnails7260]

Ii find his voice and the restoration very soothing when on headphones.

[@ph0n1k]

What a brilliant paint job, nailed that to perfection.

[@Brian-Burke]

The finish you got here is one of the best you've ever done. That wing just ruins an otherwise great design. Fantastic job on this one.

[@PinkAndOrangeAndGold]

I never saw the original car, so I didn't know what the shape of the wing would be. My disappointment is immeasurable.

[@joshsmith4488]

PinkAndOrangeAndGold same 🙁

[@mercoid]

[@crushedcranberries7386]

Google it

[@MikeS10]

😂

[@saktimanganda9397]

and my day is ruined

[@thatsdavid2u]

Nothing better that seeing an awesome redline restoration on a crappy Monday morning! As always, great work!

[@baremetalHW]

Thanks!! hope your Monday gets better!

[@bobbailey5072]

Great build, buddy. While I now follow a few other HW restorer/remodelers, I think I lean heavier on you for processes and professional results. You have renewed my interest in 1:64 scale and I am grateful for that. Thank you.

[@davidneilson3508]

Turned out fantastic 👍👍

[@owenb9370]

Looks like a Splittin Image. I love this video. It gets back to your roots.

[@k.n.o.3558]

The restoration of the Roomba after it chokes on wheels will be fun. I started this video by thinking that the car was ugly, but ended deciding that it is cool in its uniqueness. The color ended up very cool, and the wing adds to its quirky design in a neat way. Thank you.😎

[@dougrabbit8837]

Im 57 and had lots of redlines as a kid. I just don't remember this model...humm Beautiful work you did on restoring it.

[@JD-te9tj]

Excellent job as usual, I'm 57 and remember most of the cars from childhood. Back when dirt was fairly new, ha ha😂🤣😄😎

[@Pozer714]

I remember this car as a child, never saw it with the fugly wing though. Wings in racing only started in 1968 so maybe seemed cooler way back in 1970. Good job as usual. Amazing! Love it!

[@zaca3256]

I'm glad this showed up in my newsfeed. Not really into hotwheels but I'm an avid hobbyist for classic fantasy miniatures. So I guess I can appreciate the work that goes into this.

[@knedy]

Yeah the wing is awful. Not awful enough to take away how great that paint job was though! I'm really looking forward to see more of that!

[@georgeshelton6281]

This is also a very rare sports car, I've never seen anything like it.

[@stevecook7984]

Beautiful restoration.

[@pbrady187]

This turned out very nice. The paint was very good. Thanks for sharing.

[@kirbybrady3397]

The only thing I can say about the wing is it reminds me of the Star Trek landing craft and about the right time frame. You are a master at the Hot Wheels! It would be really awsome if you would give us a glimpse at your collection. Thanks for all the lesson you have taught us.

[@fudge5598]

Can we have a full tour of all of your cars that you have restored? Would love to see the collection!

[@davetjock1814]

Out of many restorations I've seen on youtube, this has to be the nicest paint finish by far. Perhaps a rose gold might even show it off more.

[@everafterinkable]

The paint turned out beautiful. Well done.

[@BasTHoorn]

Awesome restoration

[@anthonymicele8897]

I. Love. That. Wing!!!! It's so period correct and outrageous. It balances out the design of the car because there is nothing else behind the windshields. When I was a kid collecting Hot Wheels, I was drawn to the cars that had such "gimmicky" doodads like this. Please keep it attached. It looks outta this world.

[@martindownes1907]

Loving the humour that is creeping in...Good job!

[@bassmandanmartin3700]

Beautiful paint job!!! Outstanding restoration!

[@iurabordei933]

You really know how to make them look good. Great job!

[@erinboatguy]

Stunning restoration job !!!!

[@BitoJoose]

I love this one a lot. It's a blast from the the past. Thanks

[@hernanhenriquez6778]

I would have preferred it in the shiny silver. It looked really nice

[@stom5292]

paint is perfect, one of the best you've done and I've seen them all!

[@phecez]

This is one of the overall best, most interesting, most informative videos on this channel, and that's saying something.

[@matchboxmark8191]

Great job! When I restore, I like to keep what came with it, in this case, the wing. Nice choice in keeping it! You rock!

[@johnkelley9877]

I can see why Mattel deleted the wing on later issues as it really does not add to the model. That being said the body paint is just perfect! It looks absolutely flawless. Painting the body silver, before the color coat, really did improve the overall hue and shine. I could not believe how bad the chassis was but it looks great now. Thanks for sharing this tutorial as it brings back a lot of memories.

[@ARob-bt4dr]

This model turned out beautiful.

[@RingtailCafe]

I have zero interest in cars, or toy cars and their restoration so I'm not sure why this video came up in my suggestions. However, on a whim I clicked on it and gave the video a chance. I just have to say...wow. The amount of love and effort that you put into this and the surprising depth of transformation between where you started and where it wound up was truly impressive. As someone who is an outsider to this hobby/world/process, I have to say I gained a newfound respect for it, and your work! Well done!

[@soupsandwch]

Pretty much same

[@jonbennett3946]

Ihave to say the paint on this one looks awesome...... the best you've done so far!

[@jonaqwerty]

Amazing work, one of the best ones so far.

[@jarrodminogue9244]

That paint job elite... the base coat makes that yellow really lift... that's the best yellow one you have done. Keep it up baremetalhw

[@jakeakhtar9424]

That paint looks incredible, great job!

[@jeffhreid]

That came out great. That wing is crazy, really 60’s mod. Super video! Thanks

[@udorechner6846]

I love those now vintage cars. They are very interesting as ist the actual restoration. The result looks awesome. Nice work.

[@jamesryan5181]

Amazing paint job. Nice work 👍

[@milesium-487]

Maybe you should customize the wing to make it look better?

[@rizwanfaturakhman9058]

Ya man i agree

[@Mr_RichardH]

The wing... well, never mind. But that combination of base coat and colour - stunning!

[@HawaiiTalks]

Absolutely fascinating! Thanks for the in-depth restoration videos. Looks incredible!

[@clairequigley2904]

watching this was great! as a kid i played with all my dads old hot wheels and matchbox cars from the 60s and 70s, and this was definitely one of them. now my niece plays with them :)

[@yorgeabouttstudio]

These videos are so relaxing.

[@ryanbarker5217]

i love the look of those paints. great job.

[@pacula33]

Been missing your videos.. glad to see you pop up on my list..

[@gagewells5616]

Always love getting a notification that you have uploaded!

[@randynovick7972]

Stunning! Really great. Delighted with the results.

[@joshuuaaaa440]

Love this , great transformation and colour choice dude !

[@ilovedogs7224]

I liked the way your paint job turned out 😊👍🏻

[@michaellubatti1534]

I can’t describe how much I love this channel lol. The wing is kinda growing on me. I wasn’t familiar with this car and didn’t know what the wing was supposed to look like initially, but it’s unique. Something I would’ve liked as a kid. Great job as always!

[@Ogma3bandcamp]

The Godfather is back. Excellent.

[@thomasgresham9453]

I think the wing is fun for novelty and historic value. That yellow Spectraflame is outstanding.

[@genekelley7579]

Great Skill Set and Narration 👍 I Love these Videos👍😊 My grandsons have begun playing with my old Hot Wheels Cars. Unfortunately I wished they looked more like this Swing Wing. GG👍😊

[@Pushyhog]

Day late. But iam here. Metal work was best that I’ve seen you do. I just wanta drive it around Southern California.

[@billythekid5996]

I think that’s one of your best restorations :)

[@DannysDiecastDisasters]

Nice job mate. I can't say I've seen one of these before. Looks like it belongs on Thunderbirds or Joe 90

[@Jamesjunkers]

Hey Danny!

[@lincoln3x7]

Stunning resto! Would like to see what an aftermarket minimalist wing would look like, thinner, lower profile. Also, I like the video mistakes with explanation... its humanizes the whole effort and lets us know its not just a machine cranking these out. Cheers!

[@mariopalma7650]

As always, amazing paint job

[@seansmith1303]

Excellent job as always. Interesting to hear all the little decisions that go into one of your restorations. I had not seen one of these cars with the swingin' wing. I was expecting something like a big spoiler, like the aftermarket kits you see on Hondas. This was basically a canopy tent affixed to an otherwise sleek, modern design. I think even the original designer had regrets once the car was in production!

[@t.c.494]

That was a gorgeous bullet with no paint! I would have loved to see mirror finish covered in clear-coat.

[@westlylewis1]

I never would have imagined that I would have loved this channel so bloody much.... AMAZING WORK!!!!

[@jacobs.9797]

I enjoyed the jokes and funny comments! Really added a lot to the video for me! The paint job/finish looks amazing! Keep up the great work!

[@scottstroud2872]

You had a bit more Whimsy in this video than usual. I liked it. Great restoration paint work was awesome

[@westonward735]

Wow, that turned out really great. I have always stopped at 1000 grit or at most 1200. The wing seems to breakup the aerodynamics instead of adding to it. I can honestly say I don't remember this car when it came out which is rare. Thanks for another beautiful restoration.

[@jaymean44]

Adore the colour! Beautiful as always ❤️

[@hanasununhamunagoyum]

Very cheeky narration this time around, like it.

[@tdickensheets]

I grow up in 1960's! I had old Hot Wheels.

[@vincediesil]

This is one of your funniest videos. I appreciate your humor.

[@PapiDoesIt]

I was a Hot Wheel fanatic in the 60s and 70s, but I don't remember ever seeing one of those.

[@falconuruguay4588]

I hear Pledge floor gloss helps fill in cracks in the windshields, plus it brightens them up too!

[@TheWickedArcade]

These videos are so addicting!!!

[@RobertJamesGabriel]

Dont know why KZbin recommend this to me but man this is awesome!!

[@cutrockr-diecastracing2773]

The wing was a design failure, unlike your restoration work! Cheers

[@hullinstruments]

Man that is beautiful! The only things I could think you could add to your set up that would help… And ultrasonic cleaner… And some water thin Cyanoacrylate. The water thin glue is literally water thin… And if it’s dropped on a crack with the tip of the razor blade or something it will fill it in and almost completely disappear. Then you can do your sanding and polishing those cracks will be almost invisible! I use that in my shop a lot, to the point where I order it by the quart… Yes super by the quart! LOL also a pressure pot or vacuum chamber similar to what they used to stabilize wood is great. I use it on stabilizing vintage plastic, or to fix cracked pick guards on the tiles that are cracked all to pieces, pieces of elephant ivory that are cracked overtime, or even pieces of wood that needs to be stabilized with acrylic. It’s an interesting process and can be used to stabilize and solidify cracked and falling apart pieces. Love your channel! Not really into cars although I do have a few boxes of redlines I was left by my grandfather… However a lot of your processes are similar to mine it’s enjoyable watching someone else. And learning

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

Awesome restoration Sir !!!!!!!

[@lylespriggs1838]

Nice restoration paint looks original. Yes it needs the wing That's how it was made from the factory with the wing.

[@Curtis-Randall]

Great video. I agree about the wing, it sticks out like a sore thumb. The car looks awesome other than that though. So much shine 😊

[@newcomerjason7791]

Very nice restoration. The wing looks way out of place. Like it was an afterthought. The slide out engine is a cool touch. Love the channel. Keep the projects coming sir!

[@petermata5488]

great job even with the wing

[@9scottman]

Heck of a job Man,Awesome job as always

[@boerharms2209]

haha looks better without the wing.. Very 60's Hotwheels design though. it might have taken inspiration from the can-am race cars of the day.

[@ARob-bt4dr]

Well 70s design...

[@green_bay_cheesehead1248]

Very nice restoration as always.
