Vintage Red Line Restoration : Bugeye

[@DiecastResurrection]

No comments on that sick ass drift !?? Now you know what I do while I'm waiting for things to dry etc. :D

[@SEGAdude95]

Lol ;D

[@Tim-57]

The scary part of you asking this, is I was thinking just that. He is playing while the paint is drying. Hahaha 😉

[@PozerAdultRacingTeam]

I love the drift. I am doing a Back To The Future Delorean VS Mrs LaRusso’s station wagon for my KZbin channel later on today.

[@DarrenHouston]

I could comment on at least 7 things that make me laugh out loud. For 23 minutes I get to sit back, relax, and watch some magic happen. The Bob Ross of Diecast!

[@brianartillery]

That is a beautiful colour. There aren't enough copper coloured vehicles about, to be honest, and that catches the eye. Nice one!

[@pongo4966]

I Love this Dude’s Personality and Voice and also his Attitude towards Tackling things!

[@PozerAdultRacingTeam]

I like watching you restore any type of Hot Wheels.

[@royclark7192]

Bugeye is one of my favorite Hot Wheels. Very nice.

[@MatchboxGarage]

You have a great personality it makes for an extra interesting watch

[@DarrenHouston]

You don't even need to love matchbox cars.

[@krl8506]

@@DarrenHouston Who DOESNT love them???

[@DarrenHouston]

@@krl8506 I dunno, Just saying don't need to love them. I just assume everyone does though :)

[@mitster7641]

Awesome video! Not only do you do beautiful restorations, you are fun to listen too.

[@johnjustice9897]

Best looking Bugeye I have ever seen. Glad to see Jimmy hasn’t blown up the trailer yet! Keep up the great job.

[@MatSpeedle]

Ah now this is a great way to start the day! A fresh DieCast Resurection video! Awesome!

[@00asaenz]

Can never go wrong with "more muscle". But I do like all makes/models even many of the fantasy cars. Thanks Dr. for the video, great job.

[@shanegraham6318]

Another sweet ride to add the collection!

[@jarrodfarris1432]

You are by far my favorite to watch here on you tube you always have me laughing and I love your builds too

[@DiecastResurrection]

Thanks brother, I like to have some fun :D

[@scottcobra1]

I have NEVER been Bugeye fan but your car in that color is GORGEOUS ! Going to find one soon to add to my collection and restore it in that exact color.

[@jameshall4385]

the copper looks great. nice job

[@SkoveDog]

Glad you chose copper. Love it!

[@erictoddw]

No matter how crappy my day is (like today) - if there is a new vid from DR, I'm in a better mood within minutes. Thanks!

[@DiecastResurrection]

That's cause im crazy!!!!!!!!

[@PacManDreaming]

Glad you went with the copper instead of the rose. Looks great, as usual!

[@kenwinston2245]

That was a fave... nice and heavy, really hauled down an elevated track. Mine was a dark maroon clear color with the blue tinted windows 😃

[@DustinEugeniogravion7171]

Love that copper color!

[@fattonysgarage67]

I could watch you all day. I love how you bring new life to these classics

[@archiebunker6059]

Color turned out great with the blue windows, the challenge is going to be interesting to see. 👍✌

[@ghost-facedhindu4275]

I, for one, love the Ford Mk. 4s, McLarens, and the other Can-Am style cars. I can't get enough of them. I'd love for you to do one, I flipped out when you did that long list and I saw the few you had.

[@ShannonLeeKreations]

The sideshows are badass..pretty sure that's exactly how a hotwheel would sound👍

[@AleCatGarage]

I came for the beer. I stayed for the restoration. 😀 I loved the color the second you started spraying. Another fantastic job my man. Cheers.

[@neilstewart9799]

That copper looks sick!!! Very cool looking car!

[@helmutquad1960]

Hi, no matter, what you do, after your restorations this beauty looks like a 100$ model. Very nice and ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐for this! Greetings!

[@Jacensbattlegrounds]

Now that is a work of art!

[@motorjive4363]

The copper is a nice contrast with blue windows. Good job.. Again!!

[@ModMokkaMatti]

Jimmy trailer makeover

[@pedrodelacabra1855]

Perfect color and the pits look kinda cool under that sweet paint job. Best of luck with the challenge. Great idea.

[@DiecastResurrection]

Im bringing out a piiiiiimp car for that...

[@davidjoshua1075]

Mix your rubbing compound in a small squirt bottle with a little water until you get the thick soupy product you like...Maybe you can use your coffee cream whipper to do the job :) I have worked with compounds for 20 years...make the product you need for the job :)

[@jimcooksey812]

I love to watch you work! It is weird... I don't give a crap about hot-wheels, but I like to watch people who are craftsmen and you do excellent work! Keep making videos... YOU ARE GOOD AT IT!

[@spdcm01]

OMG I had that one when I was a kid! The hole was supposed to be the air scoop. Thanks for the memories! Always enjoy your excellent restorations!

[@DiecastResurrection]

Thanks brother!

[@joshuuaaaa440]

You’ve inspired me to do some of this restoration dude , Iv had hundreds of hotwheels just in a box all beat up underneath my bed, watching your videos has made me get a airbrush and start some badass restoration!

[@brianclark2119]

Wow! Great job. To bad that Spectra paint is so unforgiving.. Even with all your careful prep those pits just scream LOOK AT ME NOW. Thanks for sharing.

[@BrutalFates]

NIce, I like the way the copper came out nice color. Also tip to anyone painting anything miniature, while holding the model in one hand and the brush in the other lock your wrists together, it gives you much more stability while painting.

[@DiecastResurrection]

I didnt have my medicine.. it helps the shakes go away

[@Edzugaster]

another excellent job, I really enjoy your videos, not only because of the quality of work, but also the video, and the way you comment on it, brings more than one smile into my mouth, insists on playing again with those toys that you collect, I love cars, and it's always good to see how someone cares to restore one, be it scale or natural size. Post: I always guess when you ask what color you'll put on it, it's curious. jeje

[@MrVolvobloke]

Anyone else suffering from the Monday blues ? I was - then this cheeky little video popped up in my notifications ! Hurrah ! Thanks for another great resto !

[@niles006]

I appreciate that you put links to all the stuff you use in the description. I actually ordered a few. Thanks!! ✌🏻

[@happycamper4315]

Nice! The copper was better than I expected, but I'm the guy that would have gone with a heavy coating of rose purely because of the contrast between that and the windshield! 😉

[@MrStag-rq1lf]

Watching you strip these cars makes my skin burn

[@DiecastResurrection]

mine too! sometimes..

[@adamsmith9636]

I was like copper copper and then YES copper . Great video

[@towerblock1]

Never seen this Redline before, unusual design but still very cool👍

[@pauly7218]

I ended up loving the color, and I too did clear coat on a spectra flame finish and I kid of dig the depth it gives the paint job. Great video and I can't wait for the challenge videos!

[@NitrousDiecast]

Great color, looks good

[@DBs58]

Another fantastic restore with a great narration..

[@DiecastResurrection]

Thanks David!

[@zacharyfassett235]

Yes that copper was an awesome choice!

[@colinnixon4570]

I always traded those fantasy cars away or crush them when I was a kid. Now I wish I would have keep all my Hot Wheels when I was a kid. Nice resurrection.

[@Ogma3bandcamp]

Great colour choice. Great to see the channel blowing up too, I was one of the originals.

[@strivingx67]

Looks great! Love the color and the tail lights rock!!!

[@billschipper1718]

When I noticed that trailer in the background I instantly thought of the Rockford files. It was one of my favorite TV shows.

[@DiecastResurrection]

Everyone's been saying that.. I remember a little bit of that show, I was pretty young though. haha

[@epitomeofoops]

Wowee. The copper was a great choice for this car. It's certainly not a pretty car by today's standards, but that was what the future looked like in anybody's mind fifty years ago. I certainly like it!

[@tygrkhat4087]

All the time you were deciding on the color, I was going "copper...copper...copper...copper...copper...Yes!" Looks fantastic. "Daddy hasn't had his medicine." Made me lol...seriously.

[@georgeshelton6281]

I also realized it that; this Hot Wheels toy car is neither one of these toy cars, a Hot Wheels color racer or even a glow in the dark Hot Wheels toy car.

[@DrewsCustomDiecastDrewMSmith]

Knocked another one out of the park. Your restorations and your customs are among the best. I'm like you i lean towards the muscle cars too. I'd say a good 80 percent of my collection is. Dying for the weather to warm up so I can liberate some of them from storage so I can finally post some videos of them. Most of them are 1 owner cars. At last count I have around 700 cars.

[@pbrady187]

I was hoping you would use the copper. Turned out great! I scooped up one of the T-Shirts too while I was at it. Thanks!

[@AllenIverson4MVP]

You're doing one of my favorite things and you're making it funny that's why you are one of my favorite KZbinrs

[@AllenIverson4MVP]

Hey thanks man the heart means alot!!

[@turbolivesinmyheart6328]

You Hot Wheels guys always hit it when I can't sleep on a Sunday night, there's always a new video from somebody. I like that copper color better than the brown. I think if I was restoring a brown car I would make it that copper color. Nice job as usual. Plus the entertainment is just a bonus.

[@Outlawstar79]

I want you to know we are pulling for you Vern! We think you can totally kick his hinder in the comp for Candy Colored cars! This was a great build and that copper is sick as Ba!!s man!

[@rogerbradley7509]

The copper is much better than the original! I have the whole family watching your videos now. Wish you could do them faster! Keep it up!

[@DiecastResurrection]

The whole family lol oh boy.. I normally assume its all dudes 30+ when I say things

[@rogerbradley7509]

It’s all good. You do t drop the F bomb so it’s all good. My son wants to start doing this!

[@PozerAdultRacingTeam]

That car looks really hot now. I would be proud to own it.

[@seanrobison1782]

Another great video, looking forward to the competition build off!

[@donaldswink6259]

Hi Dr. Diecast, very nice restoration. The color looks more like root beer to me but I like it. Looking forward to the challenge on the 9th.

[@tangohunter5788]

Man! That looks fantastic!! I too am a muscle car guy although I like others as well.. but muscle is what I'll be restoring and modifying. Thank you buddy!

[@donaldtolbert7804]

Your personality is very addictive,.. Blub blub 👍🏻👍🏻

[@EndofNothing182]

You sound like gravely voice Batman sometimes lol I've never had the desire to restore a hotwheels before but here I am three days in to watching all the hotwheels restoration videos I can find. Your channel and Baremetal are my favourites.

[@gunslinger11bravo]

That came out fantastic!

[@bassmandanmartin3700]

That looks pretty darn excellent!!

[@PozerAdultRacingTeam]

You make this look so easy.

[@chriswunsch2672]

Love the color!!!

[@scottbunch3426]

Great job, love the copper. I'd like to see you do a casting from the RLC, just to see how close the spectraflame looks compared to the original release's finish .Maybe a Gremlin Grinder since they are numerous and fairly cheap to buy.

[@brianchesser576]

That makes sense still a dope paint job

[@travelersdiecastcustoms1511]

I was hoping you chose the copper!👍👍👍 turned out awesome.

[@oxfd611]

Had this one as a kid and it was my super hero car. Never had a Bat Mobile.

[@band1986]

Stopping at 3: 16 which is rather prophetic and ironic... Hell yes we want to see race cars!

[@joshuaparlos3845]

Jimmy needs to do a drift build! Lol

[@asmith515151]

Copper was a great choice...car looks fantastic

[@michaelpeel9347]

I wonder if I could metal detect and dig up my old matchbox/hot wheels and save them, I am sure they are screwed form 35+/- years in the ground. Always enjoy your restorations,makes me want to restore/customize the few I have left. Thanks for another video, you crack me up, keep on being you. Mike from Texas, Take Memories,Leave Footprints

[@stevecook7984]

Looks awesome in that colour.

[@2deepIn45]

The copper is OUTSTANDING! IT looks slick as SNOT! MY kinda color! Wi c ked !

[@teevegas4141]

Nice work! Dig the merch design, one is on the way.

[@jasonbrash8052]

Awesome video as always! I have the copper colour on the way so good to see it in action & it suits the Bugeye well. Gonna have to get me a sweet sweet shirt as well!

[@DiecastResurrection]

Yea i cant wait for my shirts to show up.. represent!!!

[@TheNyarcangel]

Awesome rebuild!!! Props to the sick ass drift!!!

I always hated these cars but what you did with the restoration & copper really looked cool.

[@paulagebhardt6018]

Bon Lundi Gras! Wishing I had this as my ride to the Orpheus Ball tonight!

[@DiecastResurrection]

Paula.. that car is ugly as hell what you talkin bout

[@Cryptoman_5000]

Die cast, you up for some experimentation? If you can pick up a small amount of all metal body filler and you use it on a very pitted area, then you re plate it with zinc, it should hold and give you that ultra smooth finish on those translucent paint jobs. It might be worth a try. Love the sound effects.

[@DiecastResurrection]

Would you be able to link me a product? I'm down for anything that makes the cars look better.

[@Cryptoman_5000]

@@DiecastResurrection , I'm sure you can find it locally, it's an aluminum auto body filler for cars. I don't know how small of quantities they offer so maybe you would try it on a handful depending what the measurements are of the activator, they also make a zinc primer both you could google and type in USC all metal body filler. I think it could definitely make those translucent paint jobs look top notch if it covers all the blemishes on the metal before painting. It might be worth a shot if you get a high$ redline.

[@revzillo]

Nice job Ace. love that copper color , really suits that style of car !

[@gregory8140]

Man, I love your videos!! You make learning about Restorations fun! In fact, you remind of the late and great comedian Mitch Hedberg. Keep those videos coming!!
