- In this video I do a restore on a Hot Wheels Auburn 852 and race it against the fastest cars I have on a 8 ft drag strip. This Restore & Race series is a 10 episode season. S01E07
You Can Do It! Why not take up the hobby of restoration. It's inexpensive, fun and rewarding. Below are some tool and supplies that I use to make old things new again. Enjoy, and share your projects and stories with me.
Cheers, Tom

What a beautiful car! love it!!!
I agree, gorgeous car. 🍻cheers
Like thism auburn 852 is so beautiful car
It is a beautiful car ! 👍
Nice job on the Auburn! Hotwheels made an all green version, but yours with the white fenders looks sharp!! Not a big fan of "off colored" tires, but with the paint they actually look neat. I have several of these with no windshield, great job making a new one, and I'll try the same. Rollbar was a good idea, and really makes it look like it is ready to race!!
Cool
Thanks Charlie 👍
I was given this car in the third grade. At a school Christmas party. The teacher gave the girls a Barbi doll and the boys got a hot wheels car.
Looks like a car from the Dick Tracey movie
Yeah it’s similar to the one from 101 Dalmatians too 👍
Restore: Return to original condition or appearance.
Customize: Build choice based on available parts or per your personal choices creating something unique.
There is a difference!
Solid point! There's also resto-mod, a combination of both. 😉
@@diecast164andmore9 Ah, yes...But a Resto-Mod would be primarily for "Performance" reasons [ adding "Mod Cons" as the Brits would say for "Modern Convenieces", things like better suspensions or A/C or even seat belts for safety! ] Rarely, if ever, does a diecast artist consider that in the process. We do it according to taste or Aestetic reasons (It looks cooler- Paul Yodelis and "Deep dish" HW's) or it looks more realistic. Its a valid discussion though! Thanks for even reading my comment from 2yrs agao let alone responding and engaging. Most importantly, Have fun with your toys!
@davidparker8221 I agree my friend! You're welcome for the comment, and thank you as well. Have a great day! It also appears that the channel is no longer active, that's unfortunate because did some nice work.
