I think if I'm the owner of a Matchbox or Hot Wheels car from my childhood, I would absolutely want to restore the one I owned as a child, and not go buy one from eBay... so really, the service you are doing for Chuck is far more important then just replacing an old car with a new one... There's no replacing sentimental value👍

As a 21 year old it’s very hard to explain to my friends why I love this channel.

This might be the most badly damaged car youve restored/modded.

You get a thumbs up just for attempting this restore.

WoW that one had been through the war. Im a watchmaker, that specializes in antique pocket watches. I fully understand the sentimental aspect of restoring. People will bring a 7 jewel watch that belonged to a grandparent to get it serviced. 7 jewel watches are just not economically worth repairing as the shafts for the gears are in metal and not jewel bearings so the holes get oblong. They have to be drilled out and bushings added. It can cost $500 for a badly worn watch. For that you could get a 21 jewel railroad watch. But that wouldnt have belonged to a family member.

Hey dude. I am just so random Disney parks content creator with no interest in hot wheels what so ever, but I can’t stop watching your videos. You’re phenomenal and I appreciate all your content. It’s captivating.

You are a true craftsman. Beautiful work

I know it would be easier to just buy a $10 one from somewhere, but the fact that it was "resurrected from the dead" makes it all the more pleasurable. We are living in a throw away world, so I'm glad that there are people out there still reviving old treasures.

Nice work!!!! From junker to jewel!!! Love watching your programs.

As always I find your videos informative and helpful. I'm still learning so much about doing these restorations. Your videos inspired me to give it a go and I'm enjoying it so much

I love these extreme restorations, You always amaze me with the awesome work you do on these cars.

Dude, you never stop to impress me how professional your restaurations are.

For as much "play" this car has been through, it came out great. Your friend hopefully realizes how much of a difference you made. I'm impressed, with your work.

This type of video means so much more to me, when there is a sentimental backstory and the outcome is this nice.

Great work man. Love that green shiny finish! Considering this thing will never be played with like that again, now it’ll last another 100 years! 😎👍🏽

I love this car, I love the paint color, and I love the restoration you did! Great video.

That was a masterpiece! I really enjoy the way you do your restorations! Congrats!

Considering how bad that car was it came out absolutely fantastic. I like the you pointed out the need to balance the sanding vs living with some imperfections, and filling in what others that you can. I've watched some of your previous videos where some of the cars were over sanded as you mentioned. The approach used here is certainly preferable. A car that isn't as beat up would have much better results too. Overall I'm very impressed with your work. Keep it coming.

I find your skill and your videos absolutely amazing I could watch them all day thank you

What a treat! To have the master restore a childhood Hot Wheels Red Line car for you. As usual, you did a great job with what you had to work with.

That was a miraculous transformation! Brilliant work, just brilliant!

Well done dude well done, Chuck will be very proud of you restoring his childhood Hot Wheels Car.

BaremetalHW You’re often imitated but never duplicated. Of all the guys doing diecast restorations and customs, your channel still remains my favorite.

You are the best painter. Great job. Thanks...

I have never been into cars or owned any hot wheels and I have no idea why KZfaq suggested your video to me but I am hooked. There is something cathartic about what you do, I feel really good when I see a toy that has seen a *lot* of love get even more. Please keep making these extreme restoration videos. Sure, it might be 10 bucks at the shop but it doesn't have a story like this car does!

You did a great job of restoring this car, and I really like how it turned out. The green is absolutely fabulous, and I am certain the original owner of the car is very proud of it now.

Worth the effort just to keep a favourite childhood memory alive and kicking - fantastic job as always, despite the damage! 👍

I keep re-watching these episodes

Pretty sure it's been stepped on😆😆I lost it when you said that.

I love this restoration Beautiful job all around

Great restoration...this is one of my favorite castings

I won't speak for everyone, but I would say the bigger the transformation the more people will watch.... I certainly did enjoy it. Thx

Awesome resto. Fantastic result!

Incredible job! I wasn't familiar with Redline restoration until I saw your videos.

the imperfections give the spectraflame depth and extra shimmer. Very nice work

Another fine car and a good deed done 👍🏻

I'm 60 and have many hot wheels and matchbox cars and appreciate your work. Cool.

Astonishingly superb restoration!

I like your work. I appreciate it. I like your redline series

Cant stop watching these

Awesome video! I like how you explain all of the details of what you've done and how you do it! I've never tried to restore a Hot Wheels car but it looks like fun!

Incredible work and a great video! These toys once provided hours of entertainment for a child. It's amazing to see them restored.

Another fantastic and great job! I really enjoy your videos and all the effort you go to show us your hard work!

Awesome, love watching your videos!

This is without a doubt the most damaged car you’ve done, and like always, turns out incredible. I love your videos!

Love these videos keep them coming. Great job on the resto I'm sure Chuck was well pleased with the final result.

OMG !! You did a great work with this piece !! OMG when video started I thought it could be almost imposible, but you did it !! Awesome restoration !!

You really brought that ride back from the brink. Great job, car looks wonderful.

Excellent restoration! 👍👏

Great work! I am sure this guy appreciates what you did as you saved this one bigtime!

You did a great job considering what you started with . I watched a guy on youtube replace a broken piece ( dump truck ladder )with JB weld . That would have probably have worked on those pillars . But you did more than I would have on this car . Thanks for posting .

Brilliant restoration really impressed!

Wow, that restoration was amazing!

That is absolutely amazing, I think this is one of your better Restorations. That had the scale of damage.

Awesome skill. Thanks for posting.

Fine work, excellent rebuild.

FINALLY! a heavy chevy restoration video, been waiting for awhile, a lot of damage, looks amazing in the end keep up the work.

WOW! What you did made a big difference. Very cool! Keep up the good work. Thanks.

Now that is awesome. The past has a way to influence what we can reform today. Restoration is all across KZfaq and this channel helps to how small things have big importance

Damn I like your 3D printed redline wheel... thats a neat presentation idea!

Nicely done. Looks great.

This is the content I subscribed for. Brilliant work

Awesome restoration,,,,this channel inspired me to start restoring models here in England,,,and it's so satisfying to get them looking good again,,this week I did a Matchbox 280 pre supercars wheels and happy with results,,,each week as you practice the results improve,,swishing all a super New Year,,,,

It is 625pm You do amazing work I have just started watching you and you have taught me a lot of things I still have a long way to go and I want you to know I appreciate it and for now I am going back to watch you do what you do so well Thankyou

Awesome green. Came out really nice.

Green is my favorite spectra flame color. I love the way yours turned out!!

Amazing work, as always.

Your videos are so incredible and inspiring, I don’t have access to all the cars so I am left to modify some of my newer ones, but what you do is amazing the way you can breathe new life into these cars just incredible and hope you keep making amazing videos like this and have a very good day. :)

Here we go again! A fresh episode, wonderful! Pre-view post! Gonna enjoy those 7:41 minutes, that's for sure. Thank you very much for uploading!

Excellent video. Always love your content.

I really enjoy the videos of the most challenging cars like this one. Also, I think it would are great if you did footage of cars from your collection like you did the other day - just one or two. Thanks for the video and keep 'em coming....

You do great work! Thanx for sharing!

I enjoy all your videos. Just fun and amazed to watch even now I keep my eyes open when I go to flea markets or garage sales

It's amazing, great work as always

I'm always impressed with your skill. I think this one turned out great and I hope the original owner loves it.

I think you did a very nice thing for this guy. Love the result. Green is by far my favorite color, so that's a bonus, here. Many thanks for sharing the project as usual.

Love the videos man, you are extremely talented and do great work. You really deserve more subscribers

baremetalHW .... Man you are truly an artist in every sense of the word .... Great job

The "before" picture looks like every car i have owned! Nice job!

A lot of fun! Great vid on how to restore.

This video is proof of your craft. I thought this junker was beyond saving and you made it look better than new.

Looks awesome! Nice job!

Wow you done amazing job like always. I love that green.

Stellar restoration!!

Another beautiful restoration! It was certainly worthy of the restoration- for the owner and the viewer. It wasn’t necessary for you to do, but it is appreciated by the rest of us.

Looks top shelf for what you had to work with. Merry christmas and all the best in the new year.

Wow!! Nice work. Came out good taking in consideration the damage it had.

I have a heavy chevy club kit car. I love the heavy chevy casting. Awesome video!

Loved it amazing job as always

I don't restore or collect these cars, but your videos are really satisfying to watch.

Nice restoration as always!

It has a really stunning final color! And you finally got me hooked enough to find some Hotwheels from about the '90's to mess with. Gonna pull them apart today and mess with 'em. :)

You do Awesome work. Enjoyed watching your video and it’s always nice to see redlines again 👍👍

Great job as always = thanks for sharing
