Have you tried using an end mill in a drill press to remove the mushroomed head of the rivet posts? I am curious to know if this works while preserving more of the car's metal. May require using a soft jaw vise to hold the car level.
When I was a kid in rural Africa during the 1970's, we never saw American cars. One day, a blue Lincoln Continental Mark IV with a white vinyl top showed up at a nearby hotel. It was just like this model. I gawked at it for hours. I had never seen such a grand car before -- it was everything I imagined America to be. Thanks for the reminder.
I just want to let you know that my three year old daughter will drop pretty much anything she's doing to come watch these videos with me, and will pick them out of my feed as I scroll through. You have a big fan in both of us.
I had this car when I was 12. It was my favorite out of about 70 Tomica cars I had in my collection. Great restoration. Thanks for helping me to relive some wonderful memories.
That color is sharp! Another great restoration! No need to apologize for a shorter video either. Thank you for doing these very enjoyable and educational.
I have never restored a Hotwheels. I have not held a hot wheels since I was 6. Last week, because I watch your videos, I had a dream I was drilling and tapping mushroom posts on a HW restoration. Thanks baremetalHW.
Zack, I would love to see you do at least one 'fully detailed' custom. Take the time to redo the interior, add taillights, headlights, chrome grille, etc. I enjoy watching your work. Thanks for all your efforts! 👍🍻
There are a few of those on here. The thing is, when you do that it takes a lot of time. The reason he didn’t do that for this one is that he is working on bigger projects and wanted to get out a video to fill the gap of time.
I meant, a realistic custom, as in, not to original specs. More details than usual, if you get what I mean? Sorry if I wasn't as clear as I could have been..
@@paulbelanger7383 Or at least hit the taillights with a red sharpie and paint the interior a more likely color to be seen with blue paint and white vinyl top, either all-blue or white with blue dash and "carpets".
I like how the paint turned out and closely matches the original paint of the car. I also love Tomicas. My father started me collecting them when I was about 3. Today, at 35, I have about 450 of them in my collection.
Although short,this video is concise and since we know how to take the car apart ,it concentrates mostly on prep and paint. Two of the most important steps in making it out of the box, showroom new. Thanks baremetalHW!
This is one of my favorite videos. I love the colossal Lincolns of that era and the colors remind me of some of the outrageous special edition models that were offered. Brilliant work as always.
No need to apologise for shorter videos. Top quality as per usual. I've been following for a while now and I think that's one of your best looking restorations. I love that blue paint!
I like short videos like this in between the long projects. It breaks it up and allows for sometimes to do a quick view and move on. Also the blue paint is remarkable. I love the finished look, it has a modern paint feel to it
Perhaps it's because I was born and raised in Washington State, but Tomicas seemed to be pretty commonly available here. When my younger sister and I were growing up in the late 70s/early 80s, "Santa" would bring us various Tomica "Pocket Cars" for Christmas, in addition to the Hot Wheels or Matchbox vehicles I typically got for my birthdays. Even as an adolescent, I was impressed with how closely the Tomica models resembled their real-life counterparts. Some of my favourite models of theirs (that I still have) are the Model T variants, and the 1937 Packard Coupé Roadster. Like others, I'll echo that it's appreciated to see some love shown for the other brands, besides the dominant one(s).
Beautiful job. As a kid of the 1970’s I had several of these continentals which were my favorite. Also. Lincoln offered a diamond fire blue paint in the 1974 Lincoln which u captured perfectly on this car. Thanks for the memories I love this car. Jeff.
Well done. One of my favorite Tomy Pocket Cars castings. I bought five of them when I was a kid in the late 70's and used a Matchbox Superfast car carrier to haul them around. I kept them in my Matchbox car case and still have them today. I love that you can restore these cars.
Wow!! That paint is great looking! I hope they sell it, I wouldn’t mind... I’ve used a testors enamal blue metal flake and it does not have the results I was hoping for - but this is exactly the ticket. And sometimes short and sweet is just the thing, nice restore 👍🙂
We had this exact full-size car growing up. It was baby blue down with navy vinyl up. I used to play with my Hot Wheels cars inside of its vast interior. BOOM worlds collide! Thanks for the videos.
That mini-metal flake paint is beautiful. It actually resembles an exact factory Ford color shade that the Lincoln factory used. Very nice restoration job...
I don't care at all about little cars, but I can't stop watching your videos. This is the one that might have turned me. Such good work. I swear to god if I end up dropping a ton of money on a new hobby I didn't want, I'LL BLAME YOU.
I agree, I like the metallic flake, but I think it might be even better if it were a bit finer grain (or just less metallic maybe idk) and the color was closer to the original car's blue.
@@superfly2535 Similar here. It's a great paint however I think the flake is a bit too bright, and since there is a lot of flake in the paint it brightens the paint hue a shade or two. A bit more balance and it would have been spot on in terms of hue, I think.
I had a bunch of tomicas as kid and ive been rebuying them now .thank you forvshowing me they can be restored instead of sitting there on the shelf looking like beaten dogs.
Yes, it technically is a Lincoln But Lincolns ARE Ford. And the base says FORD CONTINENTAL I'm sure he knows that it's officially a Lincoln, but he's going by what the product physically says
@@kyleh3615 Seems that the model company didn't know the difference. It would be nice if this was an 'error' model and worth more because they got the name of the car wrong. It would be like calling a Chevy Corvette an Oldsmobile Corvette.
These old cars were so cool to ride in! In the front the seat was so spacious like a couch and inside it felt like a giant boat and they sort of just floated, like on the ocean. :D
Beautiful job, I must say you achieved justice for this car. I was a fan of the original Lincolns back in the day and I can honestly say this has been one of my favorites videos. Thanks for sharing I'm definitely a fan of yours.
That blue is amazing! I seem to have quite a lot of Tomica from the late 70's as I preferred the "suspension" on those cars over hotwheels as a kid. Good to see them getting some restoration love!
My all time favorite small scale car is the Tomika Rolls Royce. My favorite car as a kid even though I bought hundreds of others. Eventually it was absolutely destroyed in a moving incident. Always liked the smaller more to scale wheels and the 'suspension' to them. Great vid
Paint color looks great! Also, I like having the shorter videos to watch. Sometimes if I've only got a few minutes it's nice to see a shorter video that I can eat up a few minutes with instead of a full on 10 minute one. Keep up the great work!
Wow!... That was a good one!... That paint nailed it!... Thanks for all the wonderful videos! I was a hot wheels/matchbox kid... Had the racing wheel case and the matchbox garage with the working elevator!.
I watch this with my 10 and 5 year old. We love your videos! This was a cool restore, I personally would have like a non metallic blue, but none the less, awesome results
This sort of video is why I share your channel with people I know. Straightforward, well-explained restorations with stunning craftsmanship. Thank you for making this "stopgap" video! :-)
Wow, really love what you did -- and the paint. I like even these short videos, I get some satisfaction from watching the cars go from trashed back to beautiful.
quick note about washing with soap and water... Always rinse in clean water as most soaps... esp liquid soaps contain salt. Love the Resto and your Channel!
That paint looks amazing. It would be nice for the manufacturer to make this in a range of colours especially if it saves you time with these wonderful restorations and customs.

Srsly great job.
Honestly I absolutely love this casting and how the restoration came out, probably one of my favorite ones he's done
One of the best paint jobs you've ever done Imo. Great work.
I think I agree..
Growing up, I had one of these. It was my favorite for years. I still have it in a box somewhere. Thanks for restoring this.
I really like the effect of the new paint
Agreed..

I had dozens of these Mark IVs when I was a kid. They were some of my favorites. Your finished refurb is beautiful! 😍
Do not apologize for making a "short" video. The car turned out amazingly well. The blue paint really makes the car "pop".
I'm not a toy car fan by any stretch, but watching you're videos is just amazing to see how you fix up some of old forgotten toys.
That paint is seriously amazing.
Wow! You really brought that Continental back to life, one of my favorite cars of all time. Great job as always!

Literally your best restoration
You really nailed this one. The car looks just wow. That paint is just what was needed to make it stand out.
This car reminds me of my grandmother. She had a cream color one with a brown color roof top.. 👍Back in the 90s when I was a kid. 👍
That sounds like an amazing, and very period-correct color combo. I'd love to see that recreated on one of these die casts. It would look awesome!!!
@@brian5o that would be great!!
That is the most authentic looking restoration I've seen. Bravo!

Excellent. The work and the color is good. I do hope they sell it. We appreciate what you do metal.
I like the way the blue, red, and white contrast. I usually don't comment on these videos but I enjoy them, keep up the hard work

Excellent job.That extra attention to detail always pays off with your restorations.
I really like that blue paint Sir an another awesome restoration too.
I'm watching your video at 06:08 am in the morning. I need this right now. Thank you, great man.
Yes! It looks fantastic! The flake is perfect.

Paints looks great! Not quite as in-your-face as metal flake coat then spectraflame, but not really in a detrimental way.
This channel is like therapy for me.
A beautiful blue! Great work!

Stellar work, as usual! The blue paint is perfect! I want that car!
One of my most favourite restoration videos.
Wow that car really looks good. Nice job!
I am a sucker for these 70's car models and this one came out lovely! I like the little details like door frames left blue.
that paintjob is awesome!
I love the process of turning old gems into new works of art..well done.sir !😀😀😀
I appericare these filler type videos since its still good work and worth watching and you dont have to sacfrice qaulity so keep up the good vids
The paint is stellar! I’m grateful for the smaller videos just as much as I am grateful for the larger ones - everything is appreciated as always.
Lights, camera, action, lens, focus, audio, close-ups, not hard on the eyes,,,your watching the best in the business.

I think that paint looks absolutely great!
The doors that open on this car are like a creamy icing on a cake... this was a great restore.
Damn you absolutely nailed it! This looks amazing! :D
One of my favorites. A lot of good stuff packed into such a short video.
Wow! That came out beautiful! In my opinion, that’s got to be in the top five of your nicest looking restorations. Super impressive.
looks fantastic...
Great result!
The chunky details of this car are especially nice for showing off the finish of the new paint and zinc plating.
Like that paint. Wonder if they’d do it a bit darker/bluer, and a smidge away from the purple spectrum.
I agree, I like the metallic flake, but I think it might be even better if it were a bit finer grain (or just less metallic maybe idk) and the color was closer to the original car's blue.

Very beautiful result, I like the color. Short video is fine, love all your videos. Thank you for sharing your story. God bless you and your family
I want to see a wide body / stance build for one of the cars
I had a bunch of tomicas as kid and ive been rebuying them now .thank you forvshowing me they can be restored instead of sitting there on the shelf looking like beaten dogs.
Great video but it’s actually A Lincoln Continental
Notice how it has a Ford plate in the front bumper.
Yeah it's wierd how the chassis says Ford Continental LOL
I'll echo that the paint looks great, and the Tomica casting is really nice. A winner all around.
Hey! You might want to change the title. Its Lincoln not ford
Yes, it technically is a Lincoln
But Lincolns ARE Ford.
And the base says FORD CONTINENTAL
I'm sure he knows that it's officially a Lincoln, but he's going by what the product physically says
Yeah, it had FORD stamped into the metal in the front license plate area, so that's already kinda confusing.
