Restore a Vintage Redline Rally Case from 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.

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

[@thecreativecardinalbyl.bet7012]

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

[@stonehengeman]

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

[@joshreyes8504]

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

[@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.

[@appalachiafishingclub]

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

[@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.

[@ilovedogs7224]

Wow you do amazing work. It looked great!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@matthewgoecks3369]

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

[@grahampickering1560]

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

[@themichaelvortex4784]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@hobbyaddict9908]

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

[@davidneilson3508]

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

[@boykinlp]

Awesome job….you have many talents!

[@sparky694]

Beautiful job on the case, it looks like new again

[@robertvasco9950]

Good will find I found a couple of these.

[@thomasryan8218]

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

[@randynovick7972]

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

[@matchboxmark8191]

Awesome! Miss your videos! Hope you feel better!

[@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!

[@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......

[@Thisguy56]

Hope you feel better soon! Merry Christmas!

[@matthewdavey6064]

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

[@PACKERMAN2077]

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

[@turbolivesinmyheart6328]

Missed your videos.

[@oleford8424]

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

[@nachobroryan8824]

Nice to see something a little different on the channel.

[@Brian-vc1oy]

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

[@josephbobbitt7759]

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

[@cutrockr-diecastracing2773]

Cheers, Merry Christmas! Good fix!

[@MrPappysCobra]

Looks great! Hope you feel better. Merry Christmas.

[@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 :)

[@50goingon15]

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

[@wwkdiecastmore5647]

Nice work on the case, well done!

[@the.porter.productions]

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

[@dessieodonovan6573]

Feel better. Thanks for the video!

[@ThePryapizmC]

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

[@Captain-Nostromo]

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

[@joep4235]

Loved this one, thanks so much !!!

[@Gordo101978]

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

[@glinnphillips4884]

Nice job. Looks great

[@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.

[@nottodaydevilshindowraithe501]

Hope you get well, and have a Merry Christmas!

[@MatchboxGarage]

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

[@cwiggy34]

Awesomeness man.

[@SEGAdude95]

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

[@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?

[@NinjaKillr-vj7vi]

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

[@ontil68]

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

[@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! :)

[@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.

[@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.

[@a.mikasaan]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@TheUncleRuckus]

Hope you feel better and 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

[@radar468]

Merry Christmas! Get well soon!!

[@Ddimkas]

Great work.

[@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.

[@terripipher1300]

Get better soon have a nice day and love the video

[@genekelley7579]

Merry Christmas 🎁 , Hot Wheel Yoda👍😃

[@danielb7660]

Do you have any idea how to restore / repair the vinyl sheet covered carrying cases? Maybe a heat transfer vinyl? Any ideas are appreciated. Thx

[@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.

[@david2theKay]

Great idea for a video!

[@dalemoskalyk1227]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@jacobeevaughan1561]

Merry Christmas hope you get better

[@tebeardenkahboom1]

Excellent job

[@keynasiebert9173]

Happy Holidays!

[@SuperBadVideos]

Very cool 👍🏻🔥🤘🏻

[@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.

[@paulb4uk]

Nice work.

[@2ahdcat]

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

[@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.

[@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!!!

[@bokke7u7]

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

[@Luckingsworth]

Not gonna lie I couldnt tell much difference in your voice so no worries about that. Loved this video by the way.

[@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.

[@shoresy6927]

Get well my good sir

[@72polara]

Denatured alcohol will remove hot glue very easily. It somehow breaks the bond and the hot glue just peels off.

[@danrussell3439]

Great Video

[@GregAlanEdwardsEmmanuelRidge]

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

[@SalvoDan]

Get well soon.

[@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.

[@DoRC]

A heat gun would probably shine that plastic pretty well.

[@ericmcginnis9413]

Great job!!!!

[@PlowBenderStudios]

Regardless the wait between videos, your heath should take priority over video production. I'm sure many of your subscribers (myself included) would rather wait for you to feel better rather than struggling to make a video without sneezing or coughing into the microphone. On the plus side however, I did send you a box of goodies for Christmas, so hopefully that makes your holiday a little brighter. Interestingly I also got a card today from Marty.

[@qwertkeys30]

Hey can you make a rally case diorama for displaying the cars
