    I don't know why, but these Hot Wheels restoration vids are what the entire internet should be about. Nothing stupidly expensive. Pure innocent fun. This may be the hobby I've always searched for.

    You are my favorite channel to watch. You have given me lots of ideas for restoring and customizing several old Hot Wheels I've had since I was a little kid. Keep up the great work. Hopefully you will do some chrome ones soon. Even some custom chrome ones would be cool.

    • @DiecastResurrection
      @DiecastResurrection  5 лет назад +1

      Thanks Drew, are we talking super chromes here? I have a Poison Pinto i've been wanting to do that is a Super Chrome but I wont be able to replicate the finish so I was thinking about making the green version like the recent kitty.

    • @DrewsCustomDiecastDrewMSmith
      @DrewsCustomDiecastDrewMSmith 5 лет назад

      A Super Chrome Poison Pinto would be sweet. I think that would be extremely popular. Always been a fan of that casting. I have a mint red line one. Any Kittywould look pretty cool chromed. As for colors, I'm dying to see the windex blue.

  • @pedrodelacabra1855

    Great job on the vette. Love the pink. Can't wait for the seasider. I was thinking Gold would look good on it (and the seasider never came in gold). Purple would be a great choice too since that was a rare color for the seasider. Also, the white boat would pop against the purple.

    As usual, an entertaining way to spend twenty minutes. Thank you!
    There is a company you might find very useful for your work that I can happily recommend: Micro-Mark. They sell a lot of good small scale tools. Hand tools and power tools. (I'm not associated with them except for being a long time customer.) You mentioned possibly getting a small drill press but the one you considered wasn't really small. They may have one better suited to your needs. Not especially cheap but, I think, good quality.
    Thanks again for sharing your efforts with us!

      @@DiecastResurrection I didn't know that until after watching this restoration and doing some Google searches. I can't remember exactly which model it was, but I think it was the one where it had something like a pinwheel or "spinner" under the glass in back and you could blow on it to make it spin. I was born in '59, so it would have been from '64 or '65, somewhere in there. My brother claims that we still have them in storage somewhere. I can't remember all of the models we had, but I remember the El Dorado with the surfboards. Was it called the Diora? I remember that name. We had that one with the helmet and the Iron Cross, but I don't think it had the light interior. (Research from yesterday.) We had the Cobra and the Mongoose. We had one called the Beatnik Bandit. We had an ambulance. Next time I visit, I'm going to try to find them and at least take pics.

      @@Duke_Togo_G13 , hey, how is your kind of work going? I didn't figure you for the gearhead type. I love hot pink and all pink vehicles as well, and woe be to anyone that uses LGBT slurs about myself liking pastel and rainbow colors. Anyway, you have good taste in vehicles. Personally, I would get an old 1972 or 1973 Nissan 2000GT-R, take out the engine, implant a modern Nissan VK engine, as in the engines that are put into the Nissan Titan, modify and improve it, the body, suspension, and all of its performance parts, and hope that I could achieve at least 1,000 HP/745.7 Kw, 1,000 ft lbs of torque, and around 270 MPH/434.523 KPH. Also, is it me, or does the 2008-present (2020) Dodge Challenger remind people a lot of the 1973 Nissan 2000GT-R? Seriously, you should put them together...they look a lot alike.
