This One Really Sizzles! Restoring a Hot Wheels Sizzler!

[@bradleygill6683]

I had the big o race set it was a 6' oval with really high banked turns

[@kenbaumer2599]

Paul it looks great. I am going to find a Sizzler and come over and race you.

[@FullMoonStudio]

Dude! Those were so much fun when I was a kid. I had a track set that I loved one Christmas.

[@bobp5356]

Whatever you do, do not leave it in the citrus strip for a couple hours like you would one of the metal cars. It’ll turn the body to goo!I learned that the hard way.

[@urideamabal]

Very cool, bringing back memories of back in the day, with Sizzler's, and the Fat Track, California Oval. 😎👍

Awesome job Paul.Glad to see you using Flitz polish. My dad started the company 46 years ago. Definitely a challenge to repair those cars wouldn’t be like to get back into them as well. when I was younger, I had a big old track with couple cars and chargers. Thank you for sharing your knowledge on the repair.

[@keithalank2447]

Very cool!! Looks like it's running slow--Sizzlers used ALL available Fat Track.

[@leewilson2010]

Why is this Sizzle running so lumpy and slow..?? put a tab of small W D 40 down in that motor contscts side ....and it will make that car run super fast......And dont get the oil on the rubber slicks though

[@lotharrenz4621]

looks great again, and pretty fast. ^^ too bad they are hard to get by here in middle europe, another thing they never exported here. anyway, this time it WAS something completely different. ) and it works again, too! reminds me of that old sonic flasher I have sitting around, namely a Ford Sierra fire chief, and it still has some juice left... I should open it before the battery starts leaking. the name you were looking for was "Eleanor". :)

[@RackCrossStudio]

Paul I hope you are having a great day!

[@pauly7218]

Back at 'ya!

[@patrickmartens2507]

Very nice restoration. You can also use ovencleaner to get the paint off. And you can use 1/2 Viakal blue(lime remover) and 1/2 water to clean the contacts. I restore Corgi Electro Rockets cars. They come with a little DC engine or a Sizzler engine. I have restored over 50 Corgi Electro Rockets cars. You can also make the brushes for the DC motor.

[@thomasz4981]

Do the new batteries charge from the old juice machine?

[@sizzlersshop]

Sizzlers-shop for all parts needed

[@jameshunt9130]

Awesome work, kinda surprised you didn't do a more upgrade on paint job but Awesome non the less 👏

[@neilcummings9939]

turned out amazing as usual was awesome watching I sizzle around the track

[@SuperBadVideos]

I’ve always wanted to do a resto on a sizzler 👍🏻🔥🤘🏻

[@diecast164andmore9]

Awesome! Nice work!!

[@AstroHunter5280]

Is there a way to test the cars without a track? I found one at the thrift store but do not have the means to test it.

[@pauly7218]

just give it a charge and turn it on! No trace needed to run the car. My bet is that it will need a battery.... Good luck...

[@AstroHunter5280]

@@pauly7218 how do you charge it? All i have is the car

[@pauly7218]

Sorry, but no. You can get a cheap charger on eBay though
