good to see someone else doing their own sound effects :D "free" sounds samples are almost as scary as "free" music samples to use...

“Somewhere there’s a junk yard with vacuums with their roller jammed with McLarin hoods” lol good one man

Beautiful job, so nice and shiny!! ❤️🔥🏆

Your commentary is so good 😂👍

Im just starting this hobby and have lots of experience in restoration painting and polishing so I really enjoy your videos.

Looks really great in blue.

I'm really glad i found your videos! Your work is impeccable and makes me want to start restoring my own diecast cars! Kudos sir!

I love your sound effects

awesome. can't wait to see how your skills progress as you work through the cache of redlines you have.

that came out great - like real cars, its all in the prep!

Fixing the rear hood with the center punch was brilliant!

😂😂😂 hilarious banter you have as you work makes it even more enjoyable to watch than it already is

Whenever I think of Can-Am McLarens, I always remember the yellowy orange color. The ice blue is a nice variation.

Keep the videos coming! I really enjoy seeing an old wreck become useful again!

Love that ice blue choice light shades of blue are my most favorite, but i favor all shades of blue but lighter shades are my top favorites

I wish restorers would use this color mor often, I love it!

Hi. Noah here from Waller, Texas. Hey "MOTHERS" metal polish works great for me.

I enjoy your vids and narration ! And its nice that you reply to comments!

Love your work!!!

That little semicircle casting Mark is the foot step for working on the engine when hood is open.

Doing awesome work, pretty inspiring

Great video can't wait for more

Thats a AWSOME car when its finished

"I want the hood"....you're very funny 😂

Nice one. That ice blue really pops 👍

phenomenal job!!!

I would recommend brazing with silver brazing rod to fill any gaps instead of compound. In the future when you start zinc plating the cars, you will be able to plate over the silver as well. Also, try a 3 step process for tapping the posts. use a taper then, plug, then bottoming tap. This process is used to make nearly full use of your blind hole (hole that does not go completely through the material).

looks great now!! this was an excellent restoration.

So cool. You should get a mini tarp or car cover so you can do a fancy show stopper reveal.

that body was in great shape looks nice

Binging your vids. Love your commentary 👍

The blue is a killer color, you added some humor to this video, great touch. You do an excellent job with your videos, and your cars are really awesome. Keep up the great work.

Dude! That F-350 is SICK!! As always, another great vid!! Keep 'em comin'!! Love the narration/commentary!!

Nice custom! The McClaren was my car of choice in Need for Speed! Keep them coming!

Very nice !!!

Great colour choice....it came up great.....cheers mate.

Looks awesome

Nice job, I'd painted it in yellowish though to make the colour pop out with the windshield.

Sweet, keep up the good work and videos.

I might have left it looking like bare metal with a top coat of varnish to seal it because you did a really good job of polishing

Excelent Restoration

Sweet restoration.

Looks great! Red might have allowed the windows to pop more.

Great job! Looks amazing. That mirror polish really shines through the spectra paint. Actually this would be a customization, since you did not paint it the same color. Never the less it is a good job. Keep up the good work.

I can’t get enough of these you have such a great personality love the commentary I don’t know what your schedule is but I think I’m gonna have to ration your videos or I’m gonna burn through them quick 👌😄

Your presentation skills when it comes to these restorations is perfect.it's impossible for me to watch a video without laughing out loud

That's it! I'm all caught up after subscribing! Looking forward to years of entertainment to come. No pressure...

Awesome awesome I love it

"slight burning sensation" "completely normal" LMAO 😂

….or if you would've chose a paint color other than blue....the blue windshield would pop a little more. =) I love the McLarens. Such an awesome racing body style.

Wow! For a beginner in redlines restos you are doing awesome! Keep it up! I already subscribed and looking forward for more videos!

Nice restoration. Dip clear parts in Pledge acrylic floor solution. You'll get crystal clear parts.

The way the body is split, looks like it has fangs. And, of course, nice restoration!

The channel looks great ... sweet vids ... keep it up!

Started working on a Firebird, 1985 or so. Broke the A pillar and the rear hood glass. This stuff is harder than it looks. I have 20 Camaros on the way, $22.00. Sweet deal.

beautiful !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome job bud.. it looks great.. ;) :) =)

nice restoration

Beautiful restoration. Looks like the original paint suffered from major toning.

Bruce McLaren actually built a MK6A with a Ford engine, rather than the usual Chevy. And painted it silver, that sort of silver that has a bit of gray to it. I remember watching it race. Or Oscar Kovalevsky in his Auto World McLaren that was painted Chinese red. I mixed the color to match his car to paint clear slot car bodies when I was cup racing. Mrs Hubble Of The Slot Shop showed it to Pactra and they marketed the color as, " Oscar Red", which I named it. Never got a dime though?

Stellar!

Too funny with your voice! I enjoyed the segment today 😂😉

Love that blue

@Diecast Resurrection - heres a tip: You can use brake fluid on the plastic windscreen parts to strip the old paint of and to clean it without damaging the plastic. other restorers use it

Thumps up!

Nicenessss!

You could cast the hood for the other ones..

Prette niiiiice Dis is gonna be shweeeeeeet quote: diecast resurrection

That looks sweet! I've seen a (the?) real McLaren M6 GT before :)

You is funny kkkk cool cars good joob From To Brazil

A lot of spectraflame paint jobs at mattel back then were prone to mismatching especially the ones with moving parts. Either they were done at different times in production or it's suffering from most hong kong redlines and had below US standard paint finishes...that looks like zamac toning on the front.

It's called "papaya orange" and is McLaren's most famous color.

Looks great. But I think racing stripes would look good on sides and top.

That is nice

i think youll find its not a touch up on the front,on redlines the parts are often made and painted separately,and have different reactions in the metal over 50 years which makes them look like two different paint jobs especially that darkening effect,ive seen that exact same thing literally 100s if not 1000s of times mostly on spectraflame redlines, not such a problem in the 70s with the solid opaque colors

A little late, but if the engine covers are in such short supply, have you considered making a silicone mold of the cover and casting replacements in resin.

I used to have a custom baracuda. Do a restore on one of those.

👍👍👍

Have you tried dipping the windscreens in pledge floor finish? It does wonders for scale model windscreens.

I would love to see a couple matchbox vehicles on your channel. Im not sure maybe your not into matchbox but if your ok with it I deffinately am!

Candy yellow spectraflame iced t? Can that happen? Love this blue!

Watching your resto on this mcclaren , got me thinking I had this car. So l dug into my toybox and found a similar color Lola. With a good hood,no wheels , apparently it wasn't racy enough so I had added a stick on racing stripe. Yeah that hood didn't open enough so I'm surprised the Lola still has it cuz I pulled it open enough to stick open.

I keep buying old hot wheels at the thrift stores but haven't done anything with them. Guess I need a rainy day but at least i gots a good supply!

Been looking for that car..... want to do a McLearn in his team colors (orange with Black)

love watching your videos, great job on the restorations! however, maybe you could shorten them a little? i tend to just "FF>>" over the parts, like, when youre painting. otherwise, its great work, great videos, keep it up, man!

I have this same car in orange same colour as this one before you painted it blue. Mine has a white round sticker with a black number 4 on the front of the car

Nice work and very interesting. Do you think it would be difficult to polish certain areas to a high shine and paint around the polish? For example, polish the middle portion of the hood to a high shine and paint the rest.

Great Job ! Dont Worry about the No Talking Comments Most of us Like It I Think. Almost looks like the Mako Shark Color . You have Enough of them to Experiment with Different Colors . I Would keep as Many as Possible Org. Color though For Collector Value .

Dammit, I used to have this exact model but without the rear section. The original wheels would've been worth saving if nothing else :/

Oh my God

You have been very lucky with the zinc plating on the last two models. This car and the beetle both have been amazing condition under the paint! A lot of other restoration videos I have watched the condition of the cars have been next to no zinc plating left, pitting and others issues. I must say this one looks really nice in blue. Was there supposed to be some kind of bumper on the front of this car? Looks like it's missing something🤔Anyway, another great video, looks awesome👍

I'm suprised you don't paint one of this one to look like the Mach 5 as it does remind me of it given the window and seats

Have you ever tried a countersink bit to remove the heads off the divots?the bit is shaped like a top.i don’t know it it would work or not.

Great video! Although I have to watch them on mute and pretend bmHW is narrating 😂

How are you reattaching the base to the body? Very nice job.

plz apply a light layer of paint to give a light blue afect to the car

I figured you would have stripped and painted the pieces seperately before "repairing" the hinge.....

I think the metal was just oxodized under the original paint. But its hard to tell on a video

I seen that base switch ;)

I would have put some wheels more suitable for a Le Mans car,However beautiful shades of blue ...
