Hot Wheels Redline Restoration: Mercedes 280SL - Zinc Plating. Today I restore a Hot Wheels Mercedes 280SL that was made in the 60's. A beautiful restoration using a real nice Spectra-flame Green. I had to zinc plate about 8 times to remove all the imperfections in the body before repainting. I love hot wheels redlines.

Hey, love your work. You do some amazing stuff. Just wanted to offer an idea I think would be a great video. Back in the day, the original Hot Wheels packaging featured a car that was never made as a physical model for the time, a unique car usually called "the lost redline". Fact is, at the time, they didn't make it. Well, not too long ago, they finally made this car, which is now called the "Custom Otto". Seen it in stores and even built a Gaslands car using it as a base myself. But, I think it would be awesome for you to make the Custom Otto from the original package, a spectraflame blue with redlines version of the car, just like the classic packaging depicted. A true recreation of the Lost Redline as it were.

Man do I ever love the content you are putting out with this channel! I used to have one of those big blue totes filled with hot wheels and match box and every other brand you could imagine. Really wish my 7 year old brain could have thought to keep all of them instead of drilling them into the sand haha. Anyways good work to the both of you. Can't wait to see this channel grow even bigger

The 280sl had a single overhead cam straight six engine. The model designation was W113, sometimes referred to as the "Pagoda roof". One of the most beautiful cars Mercedes ever built.

Superb resto job on this one Austin!! I have to say, I don't usually like Redlines restorations, prefer customs and resto-mods myself, but I was rivited to the whole video. Your dedication to the prep and paint is stellar, have to admire you for that. 🙏 That was true mirror quality chrome when you were done with it. Amazing color!! Odd little car, but I can see why you like it. Great stuff, thanks for sharing, and keep on keeping on!!

I sold all my red lines not too long ago except for two. I had 29 and I sold 27. I kept the custom Volkswagen Bug and 280sl Mercedes. Mine was Olive green. It has no paint now. Now I've got to get up and see if it's got the blue windshield or the clear. Great job the cars beautiful I'm glad you guys are back. Take care.

Maybe next time you are missing a hood you could fashion one out of sheet styrene, may take a few trys. Love how the Merc turned out, restored, not just repainted, turned out fantastic Austin. ❤ it!
