Vintage Hot Wheels Hot Bird Restoration

[@drstrangefart]

I'll always have a soft spot for the 70s and 80s Firebirds. Those wheels are instant nostalgia.

[@WheelsNThangs]

Same!

​@WheelsNThangs when are u coming back??

[@terrellsmith997]

I remember when Smokey and the Bandit came out and my Mom ask me what I wanted for my birthday and I said I wanted to go to the movie and see Smokey and the Bandit and I wanted that hot wheels T/A, and thats what I got ...best birthday ever

[@WheelsNThangs]

Ha that's awesome! I loved the movie as well and wanted the car bad!

[@diecastify]

WOW!!! Comparing the first look with final result truly blew my mind! You nailed it. After restoration, that HotWheels looks like a brand-new model. Great job!

[@WheelsNThangs]

Glad you liked it!

[@rc67die-castcollector]

I have a large collection of Hot Wheels Hot Birds and T/As. One of my favorite cars. Nice work! Car looks good!

[@davidparker8221]

I was going to say how you are your own harshest critic, and then I remembered what KZbin critics are really like...Definitely upgraded this car! Have fun with your toys!!!

You skipped the best part, the actual painting of the body. People like to see that

[@WheelsNThangs]

Honestly I assumed most didn't like that part. I'll be sure to include it next time!

Hello, was wondering if you are still using hot wheel collector app or is there a better one

[@patrickroethler7184]

What has happened to all the guys restoring these cars? Baremetal Danny’s Diecast disasters and Wheels N Thangs did they all get a cease and desist?

[@lennonjames3871]

[@JakeandElwood1980]

Can you get the Italian job Austin mini coopers made from greenlight from the 1969 movie please

[@lannyfloyd6131]

A little tip for removing the paint from the windows. Next time try using brake fluid it takes it off really well!!🤠👍

[@ivsgarage3546]

I was wondering what kind of acid did you use for the base? The bird turned out “Hot”, lol. Great video and thanks for sharing your process. Regards, Ivan.

[@leegoldeneagle9003]

Came out nice 👍👍👍👍👍

[@solidfuze99]

I do a trick with car headlights if you wet sand the windshield with a 600 grit until it’s white or clear blue whatever the colors windshield is until the dirt off it which is soap and water and 600 grit sandpaper you can shoot it with clear like a 1K and it look brand new

[@michealcollins4247]

❤❤❤ I really like The Old School Mags..

[@OldManDiecast]

Turned out great

[@WheelsNThangs]

Thank you!

[@shinmatsunami]
