You are not kidding about 1976. I was there, you could get virtually ANYTHING in red, white and blue. It was nuts. The marketing overkill was insane.

Unbelievable. Of all the channels that could refer to Techmoan, it's the Hot Wheels channel that does it first. I firmly enjoy your content. I think the schedule you release on is more generous than we deserve. These videos are incredibly high quality.

I feel like it turned out the best it could being the casting it is. Nice work as always. 👍

History lesson, restoration of a Hot Wheels car, and CHROME? Sign me up. Loving the videos man. Also the fact you’re giving us a flashback into the times these cars were made is pretty sweet.

Destroying these just raise the value of the ones collectors are storing in their attics your welcome Lmfao that got me 10/10 helpful

I don't know why but the "you're welcome" made me laugh, nevertheless an amazing restoration.

To get a better and deeper chrome, you should start with a gloss black base.

I think the clear coat is a bit too thick, as it dulls the shine of the chrome underneath. Good chrome should be mirror like and there just isn't a good way to clear coat chrome paint. Chrome paint effect is usually done as a thin mist layer on top of high gloss black enamel I suspect your liquid chrome was hard to work with was because you relied on the paint itself to self level, rather than using a high gloss black to be the perfectly smooth surface which the chrome paint just sits on. I personally like using alclad chrome paints because if the surface prep is done well then you can get an absolutely gorgeous mirror chrome that is indistinguishable from the real thing, but is very fragile.

Love your work the history of toys has always fascinated me

I love your editing style and how professional your videos are.

Once again, another great video. Appreciate the time and effort put into these for our entertainment, a salute to you sir.

Glad u said u might be able to make more vids per month. U are the filmography king....smooth, rhythm, and timing. Light and close up camera lens perfect for any eye.

That's a really great result! It's not quite as truly shiny as the chrome, certainly, but the clear coat really gets it close. I think you did a great job with it, and had I not seen your closeup comparison with the originals, I would have a hard time knowing it had been painted. I love these episodes. Keep making them.

I want to say fantastic work. I understand the complexity to getting a chrome finish. I hate to say it that the ink does not give a similar effect that real chrome has. Chrome has warm brown tones and cool blue tones within it. I think it would be interesting if you prepared a car to be sent out and chrome finished by a chrome shop, to compare the difference between what has been done. A model that has been fully stripped down to its bear metal. Also I am a big fan of that Datsun at the end, I would love to see one restored or even customized, I need to get my hands on one. Anyways thanks and keep doing what you are doing you are very skilled at what you do, and can't wait for the next video.

I remember these cars very well. They were my preference as a kid, I had them all, gold and silver, including all the ones shown in this video. Thanks for the memory.

I adore the love and work you put into these restorations, your videos are amazing! Thank you!

Been waiting for a new vid 🚗

Loved the results

I know that this would be a quite different process but have you ever considered trying to restore old Hot Wheels playsets? I know it would be quite different from Hot Wheels restoration but I bet you'd do a great job at it and it would be very neat to see you work your magic on one. By the way, this Mustang turned out great! Nice job!

There is something soothing about watching a restoration video!

I love this car. I was born in '76 and I love Mustangs. Nice job.

Another great restoration, interesting facts about the model history and a result that stands alongside the originals. Thank you!

I’m not a collector, but I find your video very interesting. I love to see older things restored, instead of buying new. So I find very interesting, the great effort you make in this old car, with a very beautiful result. Thank you for sharing your amazing video. God bless you and your family

Love your videos keep up the good work

I remember having this one and the other two back in the 70s.

4 years old and still a good video of restoration of older HW. Now there are wheels and axles made to change them out.

Idk how I found your channel at at all before you I haven't watched any videos relating to this but I still watch you when I'm bored and I'm bored a lot

You never cease to impress me.....The time and effort you put into these restorations is quite apparent to me!

The extra history bits are very much appreciated! I'm getting into diecast in a casual way (mostly finding things that I remember having as a child) and like to hear more about the history and background. Thanks and great work on this restoration!

Really love how this turned out!

I really appreciate that you are willing to teach us with little talent. You truly are a talented restoration expert. I think the way that car turned out is truly inspirational to those of us trying to recreate what you make look so easy. The car in my opinion is truly fantastic.

Totally great video! The extra history bits were cool and these techniques worked really well. I thought it looked even better than the other cars in the lineup at the end. Keep up the good work, and it's cool that you watch techmoan

Now I want to dig up all my old matchbox cars from my parents yard and restore them. Love your videos

Beautiful restoration 👍🏼. I'm a fan of your work. Thank you for posting these videos.

Good Restoration!! On a side note, I'd like to see Johnny Lightning wheels on Redlines.

Another awesome job. You have really helped me out as I customize cars for model train layouts. I was able to achieve awesome results my first time because of your videos.

Another fantastic job with some history of the redlines included. Thank you.

Love the history. Adds a lot of depth beyond what you're doing.

1976... I remember going on a field trip to the Bicentennial Train, which our 5th grade class visited in Salem, Oregon. That whole year was red/white/blue, from t-shirts, to coasters, to mud flaps, anything and everything was all about the 200th year celebration. Flags were everywhere, all year long. Was pretty cool. Damn I’m old... I actually have that Datsun you display at the end, in excellent shape as well.

Wow! I think you are doing one hell of a great job restoring these cars. I really like the historic info added to this one. Looking forward to watching more.

Definitely one of your best works! Nice job, man!

As much as I enjoy watching these videos I don't collect these cars but this is one I would LOVE to get hold of. It looks fantastic

I just wanna say your work is fantastic, and almost all the other youtube hotwheels guys look up to it.

Geesh, growing up in the 70s and into the early 80s, we didn't really as kids have a concept that redline cars were worth anything (of course at the time they weren't) I think I may have had this casting back in the day, but had no idea that awesome decal work on it as I think mine was in "before" condition.

I don't restore hot wheels, but I could watch your videos for hours. Love it! keep up the good work!

It's definitely a thing of beauty. Great Job! 👍

Hi from Puerto Rico, that's a masterful class.

I love the extra history lessons, so go ahead and digress all you want to! Really enjoy your videos.

I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Great job! Thanks for the history

I love the vids. And the history makes it better. It flows perfectly

Great restoration, thanks for sharing, take care, as always from South Africa 🇿🇦

Fantastic work and results. Thanks for sharing your skills.

Impressive restoration, and I really enjoy watching your workflow!

Wow! Turned out way better than I thought it would, your a pro.👍

When Moko-Lesney, (as they were then known ), brought out their famous ' Matchbox' range in the late 1950's, my Grandma used to buy me one each week. They then cost one shilling & sixpence, in old UK money, which I guess would be a few cents, US. I had the first 30 or 40 models they made ( except the horse drawn milk cart, which I thought was a bit naff ! ), but gave them all away to my nephew in the 1980's ! I wish I had them now. Your videos are of great nostalgic value to me, being brought up in bombed out, post war Liverpool. Keep up the good work.

One year anniversary of an yet another amazing video! Cheers.

As a casual watcher, these chrome restorations always look extremely impressive once done.

Nice work and an inspiration as always, the more of these cars getting TLC the more there will be around for people to enjoy 👍

Adding in the history bits and your commentary on the castings was a great addition. This is mostly escapist nostalgia for me, and although I’m sure some viewers will be inspired to follow in your footsteps, many of us are just fans of HW.

I like this car A Lot. Great job. Brings back so many memories.

I like the history and background info. Great job as always!

Great job on the restoration, I actually remember having this car as a child, I wish I still had it, and the many others I had back in the 1970's.

Love the restorations! Also a fan of the resto-mod twin mill!

I love listening to your videos while I go to sleep

Great work. And love the history stories.

You are a Pro. So informative. I just got into this hobby. Thank you.

I think it looks awesome!!! And I love the history lessons, so keep them coming.

That is such a good restoration! Super entertaining episode. Thanks

Nice restoration job! Love watching your videos.

I think it fits in really well with the other cars. Another great tutorial.

I'm a recent subscriber but love the content and do indeed think the historical facts are helpful. I myself have 1976 stars and stripes chrome mustang stocker in fairly decent condition and was extremely pleased to see one restored in this video! Keep up the good work!

Looks fabulous and fits right in

Another awesome restoration. Great video!!

Amazing work. Your skills (which were already amazing) have improved a lot!

I have vivid memories of Hit Wheels and Matchbox cars as I was 6 in '76. I am amazed how little people know of that year. I'm stunned how many 1976 quarters I have run across lately. I put them away as soon as I find them.

It looks really good compared to the originals and more history is never a bad thing in my book.

Awesome chrome job you did on this car. Well Done Sir an the decals make the car stand out better too.

Amazing work, looks great 👍🏾👍🏾

A sponser, nice one man. On the up and up. Good luck for future ventures my man :)))

I had my doubts on how this one was gonna go with the poor and sloppy casting along with lack of detail but as usual, you knock every project out of the park. Really well done.

Beautiful job, best looking car of the three.

Great work! That chrome pen turned out to be really versatile. Thumbs up for Techmoan love, too :)

Looks great as always

Surprised you didn't use your new electro-plating for this and then polish that.

Looks great and I love the historical background.

Love the 3D printed Redline wheel showcase platform too 👍🏻

keep the history coming, I love it.

These videos are so fun to watch

Great repo as always looks great and it does stand out but also it does fit in with the others 👍👌

I think it does fit in with the other 2 however, you made it look so much better than it did originally. Great job!

The extra history was my favourite part 👍🏻

Another one saved! Outstanding great tutorial and ending.

Beautiful work sir

Awesome dude, you have made Old School Hot Wheels Cars more badass.

Great job! I like your style of presentation!

I'm a bicentennial baby myself 7/5/76 (a day late and a dollar short) to be exact. I too share the feeling on this casting, not my favorite, but your restoration looks really nice! It's for sure display worthy, but it would look even better on the track!! Great job!! All hail red white blue....and chrome! 😉😁

Beautiful work.

Great Job! Love your videos!!

So shiny, much chrome!! Great work bud!

I love your videos. I learned to do decals from you. also the car turned out great
