I think the quality of the finish itself is stunning. Personally, I think I'd have preferred a darker, more saturated shade of red for the final colour as to my eye that shade appears orange - but still, beautiful overall.
he DID paint it red, the new paint is polyurethane trash and should not be used. i would go to an automotive store and get a little can of lacquer spraypaint and mix my own colors and not use hot wheels crap paint
Quite possibly the most beautiful diecast resto I've ever seen (I kinda liked the whitewall tires but still awesome). Wow. The green/orange one was my favorite matchbox as a kid and yes, I think the color was intended to grab a kid's attention. I remember picking it out from the revolving case and getting the Matchbox box with the car inside. Those SuperFast Matchbox cars were the cadillac of diecast! Thanks for the awesome vid and the great memories it brought back.
This car turned out so great, i love Lesney cars, i really enjoyed the process of learning about their history, I personally really like the look of the original matchbox wheels and that is probably the only thing i would have done differently. Most people will like it the way you have done it, those wheels look awesome too. Good job.
Looks great! I love that the Redline shop strives to come up with better methods to achieve great / better restorations! You are still & will always be my favorite 1/64 scale restoration Go to! Thanks again!
My parents took their 25th anniversary trip in 1971 and brought back a multi-car pack that had this, the Ford Group VI (green), a Ferrari 512 (?) (red), a Lotus Europa (pinkish-purple), and one other I can't recall. So your surmise of early 70's is spot-on. Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd then I see the copyright 1970 on the car bottom.
It certainly gives a person another direction in which to go, paint wise. I would have thought a polished body would have given the best shine. I see the logic of the crystals and the reflection of light off them. Like most things in life, it's never as simple as it looks.
I had this car as a kid in the 70s and 80s. It was my dads favorite and one of my favorites. It was the fastest car I had on the orange hot wheels track. Sold all my cars in the late 90s, regret it all the time.
Why this was in my recommendations is beyond me. But I still watched it for some reason. And actually watched the entire thing lol. Sometimes it's fun to just say F it, and watch a random recommendation. Nice video btw. Car turned out great
Wow!!! It looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor, fantastic. And the wheels and tires make it pop even more. It looks so real that I want to get in it and drive it on a track. Love your channel, haven't missed a video yet.
Great job! This is one of my favorite restorations; the color and paint is super and I love the undercarriage flat black and oversized wheels in the back.
It ended up looking great! I never liked these cars as a kid in the 70s, but now I think they are awesome. I like the 'tube technique' for the axles, and the tires look great overall. 😎
I love these cars and have 4 or 5 of them myself waiting to restore. Thank you for the inspiration as always! I do like the way this one looks with the new wheels and paint method. I agree it hides metal flaws better but your "usual" method of zinc plating with straight spectra flame over it does the job very well.
You did a fantastic transformation on this car. Its almost doesn't look like the original you started with. This car reminds me of a car that was used in an episode of Speed Racer. I believe they made a diecast of it when they release all the speed racer cars back when the movie came out.
Holy shit! I literally have this exact model... age and damage is almost identical too! Totally wicked seeing what mine could look like. Seriously considering trying this out of a few old common beaters I have. EXCELLENT JOB!
Awesome job! Car looks great! As for the new painting method, I think I speak for a lot of your audience when I say, if you're happy with it, we're happy with it!
i gave away all my cars some years ago when we moved. i wish i still had mine just to see how rough the shape i put them in is lol but they went to a new home of a kid whos probably beating the shit out of em too lol cool to see you restore cars i used to play with.
I remember owning this car. I loved the looks of the Matchbox cars. Plus some had suspension. I loved the look of this one. Sadly I lost it and I've never found a replacement. Well one that was cheap enough. Beautiful car though.
Wow this is definitely one of your best transformations. The paint looks awesome. Will be nice to see it with a darker color. Oh and the black matte base looked great. Nice touch
Nice job, as always, but I think the color needs to be a bit darker. It really looks orange, not red. This was the third Dodge Charger concept car made. The first one was based off of a 64 Dodge Polara, it would make a great custom. The second one was really more of a prototype for the 66 production version of the Charger, it looked very similar to the final version. I believe a version of the second one was used in an old B movie in the 60s (Thunder Alley I think) except it had a section of the roof removed. I am currently working on a custom of it now.
You made that car 10x better. I love the flat matte base and the tires are a great look. Im not a big fan of that silver coat....i still think a better result is with zinc plating and polishing...but thats my opinion. Your end result still looks amazing.

Agreed it looks extremely orange on camera, but maybe it’s more of a red irl
I like the orange shade. Unusual and beautiful. The contrasting matte black is a great touch too.
Nice looking paint. Not crazy about the orange-ish color. The deep red of the photo prototype car looks really nice IMO

This was one of my favorite Matchbox/Hot Wheels I had as a kid.

I have mine from when I was a kid. It needs some work, so you posted this at the right time. Thanks.

fixing the stance of the front end makes a huge difference. great job!
The car looks absolutely stunning sir. You did an amazing job on the paint. The wheels are a perfect match for the car. Can't wait to see it again.
It certainly gives a person another direction in which to go, paint wise. I would have thought a polished body would have given the best shine. I see the logic of the crystals and the reflection of light off them. Like most things in life, it's never as simple as it looks.
I think it looks great. Always delighted to ride along as you try something new.
Absolutely love this one! Looks slick! Color scheme is hot and the new paint method looks great!
I had this car as a kid in the 70s and 80s. It was my dads favorite and one of my favorites. It was the fastest car I had on the orange hot wheels track. Sold all my cars in the late 90s, regret it all the time.
I like the paint and the car looks great. I can't believe how nice it turned out and it looks closer to the real car now then it originally did.
Why this was in my recommendations is beyond me. But I still watched it for some reason. And actually watched the entire thing lol. Sometimes it's fun to just say F it, and watch a random recommendation. Nice video btw. Car turned out great
Wow!!! It looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor, fantastic. And the wheels and tires make it pop even more. It looks so real that I want to get in it and drive it on a track. Love your channel, haven't missed a video yet.
Awesome video! I’ve been waiting patiently for a new one :)
Baremetalhw....You are a true craftsman... I'm a huge fan
Very nice finished product. Good choice of color. Really matches the look and era of the car.
Great job! This is one of my favorite restorations; the color and paint is super and I love the undercarriage flat black and oversized wheels in the back.
Your new paint system is amazing!!! I gasped when I saw it. Between the paint job and the color you chose its perfect
So rad! Never knew this prototype even existed. Looks gnarly.
It turned out great fantastic as original as you can come to look.hit it spot on.
The look really comes through on camera! Awesome technique!
I love the new painting technique. Gives such a rich finish
I really admire how you do such "magic" with painting these tiny cars. My only comment is "Wow, nice job".
Totally rad! Groovy job, man. Far out!
Really. Great job! Love the paint.
It ended up looking great! I never liked these cars as a kid in the 70s, but now I think they are awesome. I like the 'tube technique' for the axles, and the tires look great overall. 😎
The paint job is incredible!
I think the paint looks amazing. It is definitely an option to the spectraflame process as a whole. Thanks for sharing the experimental process
I love these cars and have 4 or 5 of them myself waiting to restore. Thank you for the inspiration as always! I do like the way this one looks with the new wheels and paint method. I agree it hides metal flaws better but your "usual" method of zinc plating with straight spectra flame over it does the job very well.
I still have one of these sitting downstairs! I always loved it as a kid
Nice work bHW! Love to see more of these resto-mods. Thank you.👍🏼🤘🏼😎
Love the way this one turned out ! Purely awesome to me !
You did a fantastic transformation on this car. Its almost doesn't look like the original you started with. This car reminds me of a car that was used in an episode of Speed Racer. I believe they made a diecast of it when they release all the speed racer cars back when the movie came out.
These videos are so much better than asmr for me.
Turned out awesome, dig the sparkle in the finish.
Holy shit! I literally have this exact model... age and damage is almost identical too! Totally wicked seeing what mine could look like. Seriously considering trying this out of a few old common beaters I have. EXCELLENT JOB!
Boy did that turn out amazing. Great job!
It turned out lovely. I really like the color. To me it looks like a shiny copper.
The paint you gave it make the car look like Samus' Space Ship.
This method looks fantastic! I also love the color and the new wheels set it off. Great work as usual.
Oh oh oh that paintjob is AWESOME 👌 love the finish the look the cour choice.
Love the result and casting! Nice job!
He owns this game on this rock. Incredible.
That’s a pretty stunning result!
Beautiful. One of the best ones yet.
Thanks for the history of that Lesney

Awesome job! Car looks great! As for the new painting method, I think I speak for a lot of your audience when I say, if you're happy with it, we're happy with it!
Really like the color and wheel choice,nice job.
i gave away all my cars some years ago when we moved. i wish i still had mine just to see how rough the shape i put them in is lol but they went to a new home of a kid whos probably beating the shit out of em too lol cool to see you restore cars i used to play with.
Nice job, it is interesting how you change and adjust your technique.
I remember owning this car. I loved the looks of the Matchbox cars. Plus some had suspension. I loved the look of this one. Sadly I lost it and I've never found a replacement. Well one that was cheap enough. Beautiful car though.
What a beaut interpretation of this car!
Paint fits the era too!
Cheers

GREAT JOB!! I love the paint !!! the car is beautiful i would love to drive it!!!!

Basic stuff but outstanding results. I feel like this turns out better than mixing the metal flake.
Now this? This is radical.
Wow this is definitely one of your best transformations. The paint looks awesome. Will be nice to see it with a darker color. Oh and the black matte base looked great. Nice touch
Man that looks amazing. Please do more redlines with different wheels

Amazing result !

You made that car 10x better. I love the flat matte base and the tires are a great look. Im not a big fan of that silver coat....i still think a better result is with zinc plating and polishing...but thats my opinion. Your end result still looks amazing.
