The Gremlin Grinder is one of my favorite vintage Hot Wheels castings. Today I did some custom paint, homemade decals, and put some gnarly drag slicks on this beast to finish it off proper like.

OK Jimmy fans, I'm going to open up my PO box for a little while and you can send me your donor cars! Check the description. I plan to take it down after a week or so.

You want sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) as a substrate for 'filler' type cyanoacrylate repairs. I was using this in the late '70s, before the 'Net came along and blabbed all my car resto secrets. LOL Oh, and thx for mentioning the sponge-pad grit (1500). Not sure what I have to donate, but I'll look. AC

Oh, and try to avoid the CA + NaHCO3 fumes. Not good.

Nice vid, I personally find that these larger size white pearls work better over a dark base so black or dark blue maybe you can find another casting of this model and do the base in black and go over with the same pearl/flake mix?

Well Jimmy, as an AMC/Mopar fan, I'd say you need some more of those! Keep that box open!

I loved this one! I had a white '76 Gremlin with the "big 6." A 4.2 litre (258cid) motor with three speed automatic. It was the next best model to the Gremlin X having cloth seats, rear window defogger, plush carpeting, floor console shift and all in a medium blue that complimented the white exterior.

Sweet! I absolutely love it. Gremlins have a special place in my heart. Bought my first one when I was 14 and next year marks the 40th anniversary of that purchase. Over the years I have had 5. After watching this I now have a new goal to find 5 of the Gremlin Grinders and pay homage to them. Your build brought back memories from when the Grinders came out. Again I can't say enough about how bad ass your builds are and thank you for reigniting the fire in me to build one last Gremlin (which I'll drag my 3 boys into the experience)

I've used microscale liquid decal film and sprayed it on dry printed decals with the air brush or paint brush. It makes them tough to mess up and more durable.

Tried to talk my hubby into doing the same thing. He said it was a crazy idea, so instead I stuffed a stroker 340 into a Jeep CJ7. When asked why, I'd always just say, "Go fast on dirt."

When trying too show off glitter or candy paints. I think a pinpoint light works the best. The one source of light gives a better reflection than flood lighting.

@jwarz727 5 жыл бұрын

I have a cool idea for you. Take an absolute junk heap of a car and fully restore half of it. Like take that liquid mask and paint off half of everything and restore the other half. I think it would make a great project!

I have a suggestion, when you glued the tubes to the chassis, maybe next time you could take a long axle or wire of the same size to hold the tubes straight while they set 👍

That’s a sweet restor, I help build a gremlin hot rod when I was younger, it had a small 800hp motor, built up 400 turbo tranny with stall converter, full cage, 5 point seats, chopped down Z linked ford 9” rear axel, mustang 2 front end with adjustable coil overs, munster street legal meats in the back and pizza cutters up front, drag bars of course. With all the mods that car was still street legal (barely) and yes that thing was scary af to launch off the line and the power to weight ratio was crazy.
