Being self critical is how we get better. This is my new favorite channel.

I absolutely love your attitude in these vids. You’re just so casual and not afraid to sing every now and then. You reach us on such a fun loving and exciting level. Don’t stop making these vids!!!!!

Hot Wheels were always my go-to toy of choice when I was young. Your restorations are amazing. Gives me a great sense of nostalgia. Well done.

"Oh no! Steering wheel!" Hahahaha. Keep up bein urself with the commentary, could even turn it up a bit imo, brings lots of good laughs, definitely what sets you apart from the other channels

The actual Deora started life out as a 1965 Dodge A100 Pickup I believe. I'm usually not one for custom cars like it, but I have an odd fascination with it.

Not only you do a great job and throw constantly pearls of wisdom around your very beautifully done craft. You do it in such a funny way. I’m always laughing with you. Thanks... 😂😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️

Well I must say that turned out really great, thank you, take care. From South Africa 🇿🇦

You're by far my favorite diecast restoration channel. Keep up the good work

8:43 master reveals himself!

I've binged my way through all of your videos and I've enjoyed every one. Looking forward to your next one. Booger green 😂.

You are fast becoming my favorite KZfaq restorer. Very nice work all around.

I think the paint looks very good. I would not change it. Wish I could do as good.

I don't see anything wrong with that, looks great to my untrained eye. Nice job.

That is one Sick model!! Love it!!

you do an awesome job , with a great since of humor

Looks good to me.

syphon feed airbrushes are great you can get larger paint pots that attach to them. I've got a 30 dollar Paasche syphon feed and it works great

Lookie there you have another video up and looks like a few more subs, you are really making some head way and I am sure in this instance I can speak for everyone when I say...Great Job, Keepem Coming!

You’re hilarious while you’re working.

Mr. Anderson,😂😂😂,cool video bro,nice job!

What you do is amazing! This is one of my favorite Hot Wheels.

Love the intro!

Awesome,looks good to me.

MR. Diecast, the Deora was originally based on the Dodge A-100 pickup, very similar to the Ford pick-up you have on your work bench. the original Deora was not much of a hot rod. it had the basic slant 6 with an automatic transmission.

Nothing wrong with that result. Even on a large screen it looked good.

Paint looks fine to me!

HADUKEN! lol There is a reason you are my fav die cast channel.. your personality matches up with mine...

That's cool

Great job

Let's watch! 😁

That's actually a great platform for science fiction stuff like Gerry Anderson's Thunderbirds.

As a kid, I always thought the wheels were too small on the Deora. I see now it is likely any larger size would not clear the body. Like other comments - I thoroughly enjoy your comments. Will someday be utilizing your tips for my own restorationsy. Going to be my retirement hobby.

Order '85% Food Grade Phosphoric Acid", it will be your best choice; I use it for cleaning antique radio chassis. I'm a retired Boeing Engineer, back in '92/'93, we (voluntarily) assisted the Smithsonian at Silver Hill, MD, in restoring avionics from the B-29 "Enola Gay". They tested 17 different polishing mediums on the aluminum alloy skin; "Flitz" won out, however, "Nevr-Dull" wadding was a close second, and "Simoniz Chrome Cleaner" brought up the pack. "Nevr-Dull" wadding did the best job on what little exposed 'pot metal' was used.

Came for the diecast resurrection , stayed for the witty dialogue

Oh I remember seeing this in the unboxing video

Hey! I think it turned out just fine! And the Spectraflame Anti-freeze green is the definitive choice for a Hotwheels Deora. Neat fact: I'm building a full-sized replica. Hope to have it running and driving this summer!

Ive heard that Colgate or similar basic white toothpaste can also work as polish if you're in a bind. Avoid translucent gel varieties, though, as they don't have the same micro-abrasives as the white pastes.

Gotta love a challenge eh great video fellow Canadian

I think youre too hard on yourself about that paintjob. It came out fantastic, no dingles, no runs, it looks great dood.

I have no interest in matchbox cars and couldn’t tell you what each car is but I love watching you restore them

Another great job! The only thing missing the surf boards😎👍

I am not seeing what you are seeing here. It looks pretty damned good to me.

HERE!

Nice

You deserve way more subscribers

Never seen that mud pie before but a good result

Absolutely my favorite car next to the Radio Flyer wagon with the chrome wing.

sweet , lifetime favorite car and color

Phosphoric is used for circuit board etching. The Source/Radio Shack used to have it but you'll probably have to go to a specialist electronics store now.

This video is very interesting and you are very very funny XD. The begin of this video is a masterpiece, AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! I can't stop to watch it!

I liked it

1:09 Hadouken! XD XD XD XD

I think the original paint looked great.

👍I love deoras

NOOOO NOT THE PAINT!!!! Great job on the resorption looks great I would have kept it origanal and not done anything to it maby replace the axels but that's it.

Thumbs up

Buen trabajo, solo le faltan sus 2 tablas de surf, felicidades desde mexico

Have you seen how Marty's Matchbox restoration puts a new rivet end on the axles? It might be something you want to try like on projects like this one.

Love your work. I know the feeling about tools breaking. Uggg I. But being the Craftsman you are you know that some of can't afford the best tools. I learned the hard way getting cancer an loosing all my tools. The green rocks. Love it. Hate to hear Amazon doesn't like Canada, guess it's a US thing. Lol

I took apart a Deora just the other day and my steering wheel fell out too--mine wil be purple

Instead of vinyl paint (i’m only a minute in) to paint the tanneau cover, Marhyde makes an etch paint called Black Satin. Super adhesion, especially to softer metals, and a great lustre. The regular Marhyde vinyls look good but you may have adhesion problems. Now I‘ll watch the rest of the video ... likely to see you using Black Satin.

Antifreeze green is awesome.

You remind me Jack Black! xD Anyhow, Nice work. Keep it up!

Wait, you're Canadian?! Always nice to encounter a fellow eh-sayer. After the paint job I thought your green turned out well. Had to wait 'till the end to see why you were displeased - but I'm not critisizing. Like your vids. Somehow, they're calming.

Hello. I enjoy your videos on hot wheel restorations and I have a couple of questions for you. How smelly is the aircraft stripper that you use, and how long will it last in it's original container? Watching your videos has made me want to try to restore hot wheels myself. Your cars look amazing. Keep up the good work!!!

It must look different in person...paint looks awesome! Phosphoric acid? Try Coca Cola. :)

If only cars were that to fix.

Redline Restoration , Rubbing Compound on A Real Car is Used for Oxidation and Fine Scratches . Usually Wax Would Be Used After to protect Finish. I Think The Deora Looks Alright !

As a Canadian Tire tool tester, I feel I have to defend the Mastercraft air brush...but then again...it’s crappy. Another sweet resto!

Ever thought of painting real cars and motorcycles? You got talent brother. Just found your page, pretty cool. You should try painting the real deal. Damn nice paint jobs!!

Didn't this one come with surf boards. Looks Good. 🚘

Have you ever thought about using. Automotive body putty? Works amazing on pits. Good if you are using solid paint.then prime

I like the silver version

having done some car detailing, id suggest looking at meguiars professional line of products - the polishes come in varying levels of abrasiveness and more consistent quality overall compared to most of the shelf stuff sold at auto stores, etc - and no i dont work for them! lol

Yeah, back in the day I thought I was a bad air brush painter. Then I bought a gravity feed gun. I believe the paint just atomizes better with gravity feed.

Needs a set of boards. But nice job👍

#canadian squad

Before the black coat you should spray transpant paint first so you will have no bleeding.

👍👍😎😎

looks better than it did.keep it as a reminder not to use the other air brush.

Cool car

Итог просто супер!

And here I am using the good ol' Harbor Fright Deeelux like a boss. Guess I'm just used to it. Or maybe just got lucky with a good one. That is the only problem with Harbor Fright Tools. You kind of have to do your own quality control. And may have to exchange a couple before a good one hits your hands. As for any detail work. That airbrush wont do that. Paint the back side of lexan rc bodies, it does great. And primer of course. Or maybe acrylic top coat. Something like that the deelux shines at.

AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE, PLEASE'PLEASE I need to know what is that tool used to clean out the nozzle on the air brush!!!!!!!

Love the commentary....you remind me so much of Bill Murray in Caddyshack, love it. Are you two related? 😁Keep up the great work. 👍👍👍

Phosphoric acid = can of Coke, read the label. Test it though may discolour certain metals depending on the alloy

Cool I have 2 of them I wish there was a way to fix the axle I have the same air brush oh no I haven’t used it yet

I think the colour matched quite close to the original. What don't you like about the paint that makes you think about redoing it? Is the finish bad? I think it turned out pretty nice. Btw the Deora is one of my favourite castings, I have a couple of later Treasure Hunt versions in a nice deep metallic blue👍 Another cool video thanks for sharing 😉

What kind of red marker your using?

Omg I thought you said " the taste" 🤣🤣 but you said " paste"

Maybe a failed paint job [it looks pretty good] but definitely not a failed video ... interesting stuff.

What kind of compresser do you use?

That restoration looks great! Seems like a waste that someone cut the axels for the wheels or what ever. As I understand the axels usually is in good original condition whereas the wheels may not be. And maybe replacement axels are hard to come by or maybe they are quite expensive - I don’t know. All I know I would never cut the axles. But great looking Deora restoration:-)

If memory serves right, Coke and Pepsi - soft drinks in general as well - use phosphoric acid as one of their ingredients. If you cannot find a pure source, use a soft drink! Just check out the ingredients, 'lest you end up with a drink that doesn't use that acid. XD PS: People use soft drinks every now and then to remove rust from chrome-covered steel parts, like those used in cars. Check Mythbusters - they had an episode with that myth shown, too! Second PS: Electrolytic polishing will work wonders with ya - in doubt, use a battery and less time with each dip, sandpaper, and dip. XD

I don't really care for the Antifreeze Green either. But for that Dodge Deora, a Deep Purple or a Midnight Blue with Gold Surfboards on the back may have looked better! Even a high gloss Black with Silver Surfboards and Oakland Raiders Jolly Roger decals on both sides of the cabin would have been very cool! And since you're in Canada, ( & I don't know where, so I pray that I don't offend you), the Toronto Argonauts Ship on both sides of the cabin would be cool too, with or without the letter "A!" Or you could probably have done a customer idea of your own! But nevertheless, that particular color Green really does Suck!! ✌️

Cheers from Peterborough Canada ive been detailing for over 20 years and i wondered why you arnt using a metal polish and brass bristled wire brushes ?

Siphon feed is all I've ever used, so when pick up a gravity feed...it feels weird.

1:29 u sounded like Cleveland brown from family guy 2:02 then u sounded like stewie

I have an original skyshow Deora. It is missing a wheel and the launch was removed is it worth anything? Paint is in decent shape
