The Gremlin Grinder is one of my favorite vintage Hot Wheels castings. Today I did some custom paint, homemade decals, and put some gnarly drag slicks on this beast to finish it off proper like.

OK Jimmy fans, I'm going to open up my PO box for a little while and you can send me your donor cars! Check the description. I plan to take it down after a week or so.
Fancy some vintage Matchbox from across the pond?
You want sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) as a substrate for 'filler' type cyanoacrylate repairs. I was using this in the late '70s, before the 'Net came along and blabbed all my car resto secrets. LOL
Oh, and thx for mentioning the sponge-pad grit (1500). Not sure what I have to donate, but I'll look. AC
Oh, and try to avoid the CA + NaHCO3 fumes. Not good.
Nice vid, I personally find that these larger size white pearls work better over a dark base so black or dark blue maybe you can find another casting of this model and do the base in black and go over with the same pearl/flake mix?
Well Jimmy, as an AMC/Mopar fan, I'd say you need some more of those! Keep that box open!
My neighbor used to have a Gremlin, one of those weird childhood memories you never forget for some reason ;)
Everyone's neighbor had a Gremlin back then.
@@yavrielsechelle7431 That is true when you think about it. Used to see a lot of them back in the day.
When I was a kid the car that sticks out was the guy across the streets LeCar
Your BEST Build Yet .............You Go Mon !
I would like to see a video about making decals mate
Me too
Me too
Would like this also
Me too, please.
Me 2
I loved this one!
I had a white '76 Gremlin with the "big 6." A 4.2 litre (258cid) motor with three speed automatic. It was the next best model to the Gremlin X having cloth seats, rear window defogger, plush carpeting, floor console shift and all in a medium blue that complimented the white exterior.
Sweeeeet Gremlin!!! The wheel & tire combo made it look so mean, now you need to find a Pacer 😆
Blubs for Jimmy. Always enjoy your style of entertaining and presentation.
Casting reminds me of the Roadkill Gremmy with the caddillac 500 in it. cuz this one's a gremlin with a massive motor. You made it look cool, very 70s
Stick a pin through your axle tubes to make them align better and keep them straight.
Great restomod!
Sweet! I wouldn’t have thought it would have looked that good in white. Making me feel old...I was 5 in 74.....
24:29 that’s the nostalgia!
Who gave four thumbs down? WTF, are you jealous of a Canadian painted masterpiece! This was AWESOME !😎 Shades needed to see it sparkle! Oh so nice!!!!
Must have been the Man Batter...
Man, all that work, and at the end... it was *still* a Gremlin! LoL Just bustin' your chops, man. Fantastic job. The end result was pretty great.
Man that's sick love it. I still have my high school car it a 74 Gremlin. But now it has a Chevy 450 hp LT1 in it. It's freaking insane how fast it is. Keep up the good work bud.
There was a guy in Vocational school who had a Gremlin. He stuffed a 440 out of an old Plymouth in it wit a 727 Torqueflite Transmission. We called it the Grimline.
Tried to talk my hubby into doing the same thing. He said it was a crazy idea, so instead I stuffed a stroker 340 into a Jeep CJ7. When asked why, I'd always just say, "Go fast on dirt."
Another great piece. For someone who states you are kind of a newby to this custom stuff and painting, your shit looks better than most others on RUclips. Can't wait for the next one.
Once I’ve tried everything at least once, we’ll really build some cool ones!
Blub#1 loves Gremlins..#BlubBlubBlub fabulous sparkling white,,,
That is probably my favorite one yet. The paint looks incredible! The decals were on point. I liked the way you applied the glue to the tubes too. Keep it up. I don't miss an episode.
That paint job looks like a frigid Canadian winter morning.
Agreed ! It was friggin frigid this year !
Or a 12 year old who has just gotten her first pot of glitter makeup.
I’m really digging those decals, I also liked how they were transparent so you can see the glitter through it.
Great job. My first car 72 Gremlin red with Starsky & Hutch stripe up the side!! 👍👍
This technique had awesome results - keep it up Awesome!
Turned out awesome! I can see the glitter through the decals, but I am sure it is even more pronounced when you're looking at it. Very cool. 😎
This has to be your best Resto/Custom ever. Wow! Your right about the decals letting some of the glitter show thorough. A-Maze-ing!
Still just playing around seeing what is what. Once I collaborate all these ideas into something.. it’ll be a real piece of work!
Best looking Gremlin I've ever seen.
Sweet! I absolutely love it. Gremlins have a special place in my heart. Bought my first one when I was 14 and next year marks the 40th anniversary of that purchase. Over the years I have had 5. After watching this I now have a new goal to find 5 of the Gremlin Grinders and pay homage to them. Your build brought back memories from when the Grinders came out. Again I can't say enough about how bad ass your builds are and thank you for reigniting the fire in me to build one last Gremlin (which I'll drag my 3 boys into the experience)
I have a cool idea for you. Take an absolute junk heap of a car and fully restore half of it. Like take that liquid mask and paint off half of everything and restore the other half. I think it would make a great project!
Cars are getting better and better👍🏻. Just AMAZING.
I thought you was really happy about those paints so not surprised to see man batter
I have a suggestion, when you glued the tubes to the chassis, maybe next time you could take a long axle or wire of the same size to hold the tubes straight while they set 👍
The best day of the week is the day that Diecast Resurrection drops a video !
Blub Blub Blub Blub Blub Blub
I've used microscale liquid decal film and sprayed it on dry printed decals with the air brush or paint brush. It makes them tough to mess up and more durable.
I would love to see how you make the decals.
That was badass! The stickers look great with the sparkle beneath it shining through!
I’ve watched half a dozen of your rebuilds and this is my favorite so far.
Wow that paint looks like snow.
This is definitely my favorite paint job so far
Great little car! The sparkle DID work and it looks fantastically! Excellent wheel selection. Loads of fun to listen to you!
The baremetalHW challenge video is out. Amazing work (as always). Good luck Diecast!!
That sparkle paint really *pops*
It turned out amazing you can see the sparkles through the decals and the Tires you picked are amazing you out did your self on this one 👍👍👍👍🤩🤩🤩🤩
Interesting way to secure the axles, love the subtle sparkles, overall another awesome custom, Party on Wayne 😁
You did a great job!! Detail painting, I love it!!
IMHO that is the coolest car that I've seen so far. I wouldn't be surprised if someone else copied that. Superb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Loved this restore. such a cool idea.
That turned out epic 😱😍
One of the best ones thus far
Great video dude. Love the decals on the White. It makes them pop. Looking forward to seeing the next man restoration! Awesome job
Woohoo pumping out the content dude 👍🏼 keep it up
Dude! That thing is crazy wicked! Love it man... Awesome work as always!
I like it! My parents used to have a dark green one when I was young! Good job!
Just AMAZING - Really Like This One! Thank You
It looks real good!!
You've become one of the best painters around here!!
Super job, turned out terrific!!
Looks absolutely great.
Absolutely love it. Great job
Totally awesome bro. Your videos are very entertaining and informative
Gorgeous job my dude! GORGEOUS!
I really dig what you do brother!! Between you, Outlaw Speedshop, and Sideways king my television is 1/64 scale hotness all the time. It's a good thing my wife and kids love to read. Keep it up man, I'm a fan for life.
Thanks man, I appreciate that
Awesome color nice details! Nice job!
Dude! That's awesome. Great work.
Badass!!! All your customs are insane, great job!!
The white and the yellow look great together, awesome resto-mod!!
Came out great, love the paint job. Too good to use to pick up golf balls.
That looks amazing!
Sweet paint on this one Diecast I really loved it in the end.
I have a 72 Gremlin in the garage...used to drag race it....Love the build
Great resto. The paint came out amazing!
My kind of restoration!! Great work!! Keep it up!!👍🏻🔥
Wow this looks fantastic. The wheels where are great choice.
Absolutely badass! Bravo dude!
That's a great paint job, decals and wheels/tires are excellent, too.
One of if not the best one i seen so far
The sparkling paint going through the decals looks great. The yellow headlights really set off the look of the car with the matching decals. Another great car.
I remember back in the day onlocal dirt track had a few Gremlin drivers, very custom and keep up the great work....BlubBlub Blublub👍🏻🏁👍🏻
When trying too show off glitter or candy paints. I think a pinpoint light works the best. The one source of light gives a better reflection than flood lighting.
I love the metallic paint with those decals.
Great job. Love those SPARKLES!!! Also love my Diecast Resurrection shirt that arrived yesterday. Woo hoo!
Yea post that on the FB if you have it!
Love the sparkle! I think this car turned out great! The big ass Hoosier wheels look great!
Love the color and the look
“It’s so sparkly!”
5 out of 5 blubs! Nice work. I really like how the sparkles show through the decals.
Nice job buddy looks great thanks for sharing 👍👍
I like the beginning where the car comes up and drops off the redline XD
This is what I've been waiting for. I had this in green and chrome as a kid and as an adult, it is my dream to buy a Gremlin and restore it and have it painted florescent green. Thanks for posting this.
A true wheel stander for sure! Nice work!
That one must look great in person very cool looking
Awesome 👍, glad you showed the bottom of the car I would've sworn it was called the "Greased Gremlin" , but I didn't have this one when I was a kid. Keep on keeping on.
Im really digging the sparklies
It's got an awesome 70's vibe
Simply bad ass dude. Great job!!!
That’s a sweet restor, I help build a gremlin hot rod when I was younger, it had a small 800hp motor, built up 400 turbo tranny with stall converter, full cage, 5 point seats, chopped down Z linked ford 9” rear axel, mustang 2 front end with adjustable coil overs, munster street legal meats in the back and pizza cutters up front, drag bars of course. With all the mods that car was still street legal (barely) and yes that thing was scary af to launch off the line and the power to weight ratio was crazy.
Sounds.. like pure awesomeness!!!
Diecast Resurrection it was scary fun
I thought you'd never make that thing look cool; but ....you did ! Another top quality production Thanks for sharing.
Favourite one so far bud really cool
Dude...Nice build. I love it.
Super sparkly. It sure looked like you had fun working on it.
The Gremlin is sweet. Your tips on the Axle tubes genius! As well as the apoxy in your last video. I thank you. For your tips. Now if I can ever get the time. To put those tips to use.
Perfect. Train journey home and there’s a new Diecast video!!
hot dang i love the sparkle showing thru those decals!
Digging the wheels and the sparkles
Awsome build.
Have always LOVED Gremlins! Ths one is SAWEEEEET! 👍❤👍
