Restore a Vintage Redline Rally Case from 1970

In this video I restore a vintage rally case from around 1970

[@zanthraxnl]

The 2 weak parts that could get damaged in a laserprinter while printing unsupported paper are the image drum and the fuser, both are rollers in the printer. The image drum transfers the image to the paper, its delicate and scratches on it will show on prints but this should not happen on smooth paper with clean-cut edges. Generally this is a wear item that is easily replaced, often it's part of the toner cartridge. The fuser melts the toner to fix it to the paper, it's not as sensitive as the image drum but it is heated, it is possible to melt plastic-coated paper or overhead sheets and ruin it, the fuser is often the single most expensive part in the printer. Then there is the issue of your paper being too stiff and not being able to make all turns in the path through the printer resulting in a paper jam. It's hard to damage anything while causing or removing a paper jam except the paper itself.

Hopefully you get better soon. We missed the restorations.

[@billythekid5996]

Please show off your Walkman collection, I am some what if a collector myself, and I would love to see what you have.

[@NitrousDiecast]

That Billy Kid I still have a Sony Walkman sports model in a greyish blue color. No cassettes to listen too though!

[@billythekid5996]

If your looking for music, you can usually by lots of 100+ tapes on eBay

[@appalachiafishingclub]

Cool...I had one of these. Get well and Merry Christmas.

[@turbolivesinmyheart6328]

Missed your videos.

[@JosephMcPhail]

I think filling the whole bottom with resin would have made it look more original.

[@NitrousDiecast]

Joseph McPhail me too

[@AltimaNEO]

I wonder if he could recast the whole thing in silicone and make a new one out of resin all together?

[@thecreativecardinalbyl.bet7012]

You absolutely don't have to apologize for being sick. Thank you for making another great video!

[@JD-te9tj]

fantastic job with the resin,red paint stamp process.you are still the master

[@stonehengeman]

Happy Christmas and thank you for all your wonderful films this year. 🎄🎄🎄

[@grahampickering1560]

Good to see you back. Merry Christmas. 🙂🎄🚗

[@NitrousDiecast]

It looks really good! Last year here in Canada, at Walmart, they were selling these rally cases in a set with a ten pack of hot wheels. It was nice to see Mattel reproduce these! Merry Christmas, I hope you feel better soon! Try some ginger tea with lemon and honey.

[@joshreyes8504]

That restoration looks amazing , thanks for another great video.👍🏼

[@PACKERMAN2077]

Your voice sounds fine to me even more so manly. Pleasure to have you back.

[@ilovedogs7224]

Wow you do amazing work. It looked great!

[@DogRox]

Brilliant! Love what you did with the resin to fix the broken hinge! :-) nice work. The case came out nice!

[@DogRox]

And I hope you get well soon and merry Christmas as well to you and yours

[@f12mnb]

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays! This project is very helpful - showing the stops and starts is very helpful. I hope you are feeling better soon.

[@crimson4502]

Great vid, brings back memories. Even as kids my brother and I knew you had to careful when putting in and removing cars because they could scratch.

[@jerseyboy8744]

Great job, I had that case and all the original cars when it first came out. Great memories!

[@birdie399]

Fantastic result, as usual. Thanks for the video.

[@Thisguy56]

Hope you feel better soon! Merry Christmas!

[@matthewgoecks3369]

Happy to see you back up and among the living. Was getting worried

[@matchboxmark8191]

Awesome! Miss your videos! Hope you feel better!

[@nachobroryan8824]

Nice to see something a little different on the channel.

[@MatchboxGarage]

Merry Christmas mate. Hope you are back to 100% soon 😎

[@themichaelvortex4784]

Nice work bmHW. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Hope you feel better soon. Thank you.👍🏼🤘🏼😎

[@cwiggy34]

Awesomeness man.

[@thomasryan8218]

Hope you feel better soon and have a great Holiday season.

[@cutrockr-diecastracing2773]

Cheers, Merry Christmas! Good fix!

[@hobbyaddict9908]

Great to see you back and feeling better! Merry Christmas!

[@centurybug]

Hey, cool walkman! I have a black WM-2, still in the process of solving some flutter issues but I love listening to it.

[@sparky694]

Beautiful job on the case, it looks like new again

[@boykinlp]

Awesome job….you have many talents!

[@NinjaKillr-vj7vi]

Yeeeeeeeeeeewwwwww a new vid, hope that you'll feel better soon!

[@johnkelley9877]

I am sorry to hear you are not well but you did an excellent job of repairing the case. I had this one too and the tutorial brought back a lot of memories. Have a Merry Christmas and thank you for making this.

[@infrarad]

Oh dang, let's see that walkman collection sometime! I may have missed it if you've covered it already but I wasn't expecting to see a WM-2 pop up in a redline video.

[@williambartholomew5680]

I would've plastic-welded that spot near the hinge, it's just as strong if you do it right and turns out a lot cleaner than that if you have good technique. All you'd need is a soldering iron at the least. For the red paint I would've painted it by hand with a brush (brushes with curled bristles paint raised areas with good precision) or a rubber roller then touch up with a brush when done. Only downside is the rubber rollers aren't always easy to work with so I always opt for curled-bristle brushes of varying sizes. If you rough up your painting surface with 800-400 grit it will paint a lot easier too! For polishing I haven't had much luck with buffing wheels (with or without polishing compounds), but you should try a headlight-restoration kit some time. It's just a 4-step procedure: 1 clean, 2 wet-sand (2,000 grit I think) with a drill, 3 polish with a drill and compound, 4 wipe clean. They excel at removing fade & yellowing then leaving a glass-like sheen. Find a kit that comes with the sanding pads and foam polishing pad as well as the polish and chucks for your drill, you can use them on your car's headlights and taillights when you're done too :) If you could down size the process to work from your Dremel tool you could use the process to polish Hotwheels plastic windows. Just know it doesn't work well on heavily textured areas like around that case's letters......

[@MarinusMakesStuff]

Maybe very unconventional, but wouldn't a flame be able to 'polish' this type of plastic? Also I believe the paint transfer method with the red paint is usually done with a slightly compressable rubber type mat to make up for irregularities of the plastic itself.

[@samio3907]

Just use a heatgun ;) works great for old plastic

[@MarinusMakesStuff]

@@samio3907 Ah yes, of course, and easier to control the temperature and airflow! :)

[@ThePryapizmC]

I don't even own a single hot wheels... But I enjoy these videos!

[@davidneilson3508]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Hope you are feeling better soon 👍👍😊

[@josephbobbitt7759]

Very cool. I remember those rally cases from when I was a kid.

[@dessieodonovan6573]

Feel better. Thanks for the video!

[@joep4235]

Loved this one, thanks so much !!!

[@the.porter.productions]

Love the case.🥰I have mine from when I was a kid...mine was used then, too. Good job.

[@davidparker8221]

Never seen a HW Rally Case restored. WOW! Just needs the sticker on the inside to be complete. Glad to hear your feeling better. Don't know if you got a flu shot, but I deal with International tourists, so I get one and recommend everyone does. I'm praying for your full recovery. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Merry Christmas to all, and Happy New Year, too!

[@randynovick7972]

I was starting to worry about you! Glad you’re on the mend. Nice little project.

[@50goingon15]

Being sick sucks. Hope you feel back to 100% soon. Cool video thanks for the effort!

[@Brian-vc1oy]

Welcome back! Take care of yourself and I'm looking forward to more videos! Nice job on the case 👍

[@matthewdavey6064]

Merry Christmas and I hope you feel better very soon. This was a very interesting video, and a very pleasant surprise.

[@wwkdiecastmore5647]

Nice work on the case, well done!

[@Gordo101978]

Glad to se you back and hope you get well soon. Happy Holidays

[@MrPappysCobra]

Looks great! Hope you feel better. Merry Christmas.

[@oleford8424]

sweet find dude i would love to have something like that pretty sweet

[@MGarrison]

they were still making these in 78 or 79. i was carrying mine with my collection in it. i was up town when jc penny used to be on the square. (looking back now it was odd that i would be carrying it in the store.) i was about 8 or 9. some older kids were there and one of them ask me were i got it and i told him santa clause brought it to me. that was when i found out there was no santa clause as he so willingly informed me. thanks for the video.

[@a.mikasaan]

Beautiful wm2! Didn’t expect to see a Walkman on a video about restoring Hotwheels cases, lol

[@Ddimkas]

Great work.

[@glinnphillips4884]

Nice job. Looks great

[@ontil68]

I've been wondering what was up. Glad your back.

[@trekzilladmc]

You and me both sick. I've had it since the 23rd. The doctor told me it was really big going around this time. He ended up giving me prescription cough medication which has really helped.

[@GeoffreyToday]

I am definitely going to give that resin a try for repairing an old vintage Darth Vader Kenner action figure carrying case. I've been trying to think of how to fix the hinge and one of the locking tabs for a while, this seems like a good option. Thank you for sharing :)

[@david2theKay]

Great idea for a video!

[@nottodaydevilshindowraithe501]

Hope you get well, and have a Merry Christmas!

[@markkenyon4855]

Always love your videos, this one included. Hope you're soon back to full health. Have a happy Christmas and a great new year

[@Captain-Nostromo]

I love your videos, I am addicted to restore old toys😎, and yes I got a lot of them in my basement

[@TheUncleRuckus]

Hope you feel better and Merry Christmas!

[@robertvasco9950]

Good will find I found a couple of these.

[@kjamison5951]

Sorry to hear you have been poorly. When I saw your video in my notifications, I clicked, I liked, I watched. Nice to see a little diversification that is still Hot Wheels related. Be well and enjoy the holidays.

[@Eld1abl0n3gr0]

I don't know if anyone already said that, but to paint raised element like that, I use a small peace of sponge, that I fix on a chopstick so it kinda looks like a brush (only the active parts is sponge). Then dip gently in the paint, and with small taps, just cover the raised elements. Works like a charm for bigger elements, maybe it could work on a small scale as well.

[@tebeardenkahboom1]

Excellent job

[@SEGAdude95]

Cool.. I found on at my local thrift for $1.98 in great shape.. awesome work.. See you ☺😀😉

[@keynasiebert9173]

Happy Holidays!

[@rodney1818]

It's cool I like it not very many people use resin in their Hot Wheels videos very often aside from J-B Weld

[@danrussell3439]

Great Video

[@SuperBadVideos]

Very cool 👍🏻🔥🤘🏻

[@radar468]

Merry Christmas! Get well soon!!

[@terripipher1300]

Get better soon have a nice day and love the video

[@dalemoskalyk1227]

Looks good to me. Hope yo get better soon. Merry Christmas.

[@paulb4uk]

Nice work.

[@genekelley7579]

Merry Christmas 🎁 , Hot Wheel Yoda👍😃

[@2ahdcat]

I have a couple of these still in good shape :) Get well soon

[@GregAlanEdwardsEmmanuelRidge]

I can't remember how many of these I had and destroyed as a kid. What a waste. Nice job!

[@shoresy6927]

Get well my good sir

[@SweeneyDunston]

Whoa. It went from Heavily used to Lightly used. Nice work! Welcome back. If you saw KZbins latest video about COPPA, your channel should be fine as you do not direct your videos to a young audiance.

[@jhuntosgarage]

Nice!!

[@jacobeevaughan1561]

Merry Christmas hope you get better

[@westonward735]

Cool!

[@tomheckhaus7617]

I've had good results with this type of plastic using NOVUS #1 plastic cleaner. I believe it has some silicon in it and it works well with restoring some luster to these soft plastics. Sorry about your URI, they can be nasty. Merry Christmas and a Happy New YEar.

[@trr94001]

There’s some truly nasty crud going around this year. Feel better.

[@carsonmays7384]

my oh my, this comment sure didn’t age well haha

[@davidbeeson1178]

I think you did a fine job my friend, that looks good to me. I would be very happy if that's what I got back.

[@soulshower]

You almost got me with that tape comment, "for the next couple years"! I was like, AWWW HELL NO, NOT THE MAD SCIENTIST OF HOT WHEELS!! 😂🤣🤣🤣 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, feel better!!!

[@PhoenixRCCrawler]

👍🏽🐒🇺🇸. Merry Christmas

[@MrBeeradb1]

I have that same exact case full of hot wheels.How much would the case be worth alone?

[@paulwoodman5131]

I've got one of these, and was checking out the value. In good condition and front, back and inside stickers. About $50. The inside sticker had the original 12 cars shown.

[@bdsmith674]

Look into repairing scratches with a heat gun ( lite heat) . If the color is through out it may leach to the outside giving a polished but maybe blotchy finish. As well it should melt away imperfections. (Again lite heat). Research it or try it out.

[@bokke7u7]

Your videos, sir, are true gems. Stop saying sorry, we all know life. ★stercus accidit★ Really enjoyed this one, best wishes etc.etc.

[@SianaGearz]

Epoxy doesn't fully bond with polypropylene and polyethylene - but other attachment methods usually fare even worse. These are the plastics usually chosen for living hinge single-piece constructions. Hot melt glue soaks up ethanol and isopropanol, but is not very soluble in them, also they debond the boundary. So if you dab a droplet of either alcohol at the edge of the hot melt glue piece, after a short time it comes off whatever it was adhered to. It will be a bit crumblier than usual but still cohesive in this state.

[@willjohnson9305]

Hot glue can be removed super easily from nearly everything using just rubbing alcohol and a q-tip. Saturate the q-tip, touch it to the edge of the glue, the glue will wick the alcohol under itself and break the seal between the glue and the surface. You can then peel it off as if it was never even stuck to the surface.

[@thejunkman]

I like the resin work around. I have have some mma epoxies that would have fixed that as well. The resin might provide a bit more riditiy if it truly stuck to the plastic

[@space.trucks.1138]

Get well soon Bro!!

[@antrobinson4448]

Happy chrimbo and a snappy New year dude..

[@DoRC]

A heat gun would probably shine that plastic pretty well.

[@SalvoDan]

Get well soon.
