You should really do a video where you take a modern car and make it look like a classic redline!

While not the intent with this build, but with the effect of from the CD coating and the pre-painted clear wheels you had the beginnings of a strong vaporwave (or perhaps even cyberpunk) aesthetic that would be interesting to see explored.

Amazing restoration, and what a surprise to see my logo being etched! That made me chuckle.

That gunmetal grey paint job was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!

Ayyyyy. Casey putsch is making a real life replica of this car. Except with a V12. Btw I love your content

The cd coating actually gave it that futuristic heads up or windshield computer interface display look to it. Cool vid and great work

The back wheel looks fine the front might need to be a little smaller.

I am happy you are back. Thank you for putting the time and effort into doing this as a hobby. I have taken this up as a hobby when I was first introduced to your channel. This has helped me with my mental wellbeing, especially over the past year.

It looks pretty darn cool to me, and I like the cd windshield idea very cool.

Look great, maybe a smaller front wheel.

For applying the transfer paper to the metal, using a tool called a brayer lets you apply pressure evenly. Just something I came across some years ago for similar applications, thanks for the videos!

The CD plastic windshield is something that I would never think of. Its awesome how innovative and passionate about this hobby you are.

My dad and uncle had redlines and there still at my grandpas house and I really wish I could play with and restore Them but poor grandpa is old and he isn’t able to get them from upstairs and send them. My dad wished he could see them again too. You are my Favorite creative youtuber and I look at you as my favorite guide. I am so happy we ACTUALLY met, Thank you so much Zack.

13:03 You, sir, are one of the most classiest KZfaqrs I know.

You remind me of something my grandfather used to always say. "There's always a way if you're interested"!

havent watched in a while and im very impressed at how your techniques have evolved over the years

It's a thriller of a car (thanks for the '80s flashback!)

That CD windshield would have looked amazing on this with the body color.

The CD windshield is neat but I feel like it needs some kind of curve instead of being flat.

I miss this channel man used to love when I saw a new upload

I miss this channel. Please come back :(

“I need more practice scratch-building CD windshields.” There’s a phrase your 10-year old mind would have never conceived! Haha! That freakin Moonwalker 3D comic tho!! 😮😮 Awesome! That’s something my 19-yr old self would have gone nuts for back in 88 had my 19-yr old self been paying more attention to life. 😂🤷‍♂️

Woooah - sum it up. You can: paint parts using brushes, aerograph, poweder coat, you can etch, use electrolysis, plate parts, and apply metallic paint. You can make stickers, laser etch, and wet transfer. You can 3D print parts from resin, cast from metals and plastic, and uh, cut from CDs. You have full paint booth, nice surface to work with and decent camera setup. You're narrating your videos with calm, rich voice, explaining step by step, and building library of how-to videos while sharing your project cars, or other way around, while showing off your projects you're teaching the community how things are done, while also mentioning don'ts, pitfalls and failures. The last part never changed, but you've come long way from start of your channel.

I love that you're back and keep going above and beyond with your cars! The result is awesome!

Regular uploads are back! YES!!!

That CD windshield is amazing, this build is stunning

This is an incredible resto-mod. The stance and colors used for this car redefine its character completely in a revamped, wicked-beastly cool way. Fabulous job and amazing creativity!

Love this! The tweaks you added, like the windscreen... brilliant.

This is great! Been watching Casey build one, had never seen a diecast. Thanks for sharing this with us and showing me something unique!

This looks awesome, his skills have improved since I last saw his videos.

I loved your approach to advertising subscribing through an etching tutorial, the best way I've come across yet!

Long live the king. Incredible work on display here....

I watched all your videos like a year ago and i must say you pumped up your restoration game by a lot! this is awesome!

Man I just LOVE how this guy does WHATEVER he wants. So friggin awesome man

Oh my gosh this is awesome. I love seeing you go for as detailed as possible type projects sometimes.

Outstanding! Nice to have you back! What a cool car!

Awesome car. Once again, it's great to have you back.

Love it! so glad you are back. best videos to watch while eating a snack.

What a fantastic result! So many steps and different processes, there's a true quality to your craft. Happy you're back, your channel got me interested again in diecast cars and modding them at an adult age. Cheers!

It's always so good to watch your work, it is awesome! CD windshield looks marvelous, in line with 80-s and "outrun aesthetics", just as those bigger wheels. I am not doing any restorations myself, but I think that you did right this these decisions. Thank you for all you hard work and I am so glad you returned! =)

Awesome final result. Thanks for the quick photo-etch primer.

This is otherworldly! Amazing skills and outstanding effect!

You're a wizard!! Excellent work.

Wow, what a stunning car. Your restoration really brought it back to life, amazing work!

Excellent video. Always top quality in your videos and always in depth. They are chill and fun to watch. Keep on going.

The video flew by, enjoyed it start to finish 😊 great job thank you 👍

This car is a legend in car history. Love your reconditioning of toys.

Beautiful work! I like the CD windshield.

This is honestly my favorite video you’ve put out yet!

It looks great! Thanks for sharing this great restoration.

I will have to say, I really enjoy your videos. You are always improving your skills, like the photo etch. You have inspired me in a lot a ways in hobby world. Thanks for taking the time to share what you have learned on the way.

Love watching you work. Have learned a lot about different techniques I use in my own hobby

That is VERY good looking. Outstanding job on this one!

Excellent video! You're back in form!

This was awesome, you inspired me to customize my own cars

*WHEELS ARE PERFECT, FRONT AND REAR!* ...not mentioning the painting, great job! 👏👏👏

I love your videos you hadn't uploaded in a while but one of ur newer vids got in my recommended great to see your back

Oh man, I've missed these videos, so great to have you back! :)

The gun metal grey looks so awesome ! Great to have a new video after a long day at work !

As per usual…stunning and original.

What a beautiful build and what a beautiful selection of color. You are right, the wheels on the front need to be resized and made a little smaller.

Insane amount of work. The cd effect works so well with this car specifically

What an awesome build. It turned out amazing my friend.

Wow, very interesting build especially with all the extra processes.....well done!

Thanks for this video. Loved the 3D and comic book backstory.

Glad to see you back at it! You really show some cool tricks that I will eventually try with my own remakes.

Looks amazing. I love the stance the tires gave it.

This was an awesome build from start to finish!

My favorite thing about Aircraft® brand paint stripper is the big warning on the label: NOT FOR USE ON AIRCRAFT. The car came out amazing, particularly given what a state it was in at the start, but I think you're right that the wheels are too big. In the comparison shot, the restored one looks like it's in some kind of spurious "off-road" mode like they always used to give supercars in TV shows in the '80s and '90s. :)

Boss that Windshield outta a CD disc is AWESOME looking and a great use of a repurposed material.. You really are Great at what you do. I'm just starting on my first car and I love watching you.

So very satisfying to watch your videos!!!

Very cool project; so much effort. I'm happy just doing wheel swaps; this is next level.

I really love your videos. Thank you for sharing them.

One of your best videos. Thank you.

Always great to see new tips and tricks But I still love watching you restore a good old Redline. Cheers baremetal.

one of the few youtube channels i watch on normal speed thanks for making these videos

Very informative. Your best yet.

it's actually a great job. I also miss your videos dude. Keep up the good work.

I love the CD windshield! awesome restoration! love the backstory also...

Lovely restoration!

Man you're amazing. You've taken things that like 95% of people would throw in the trash and turned them into something 100% of people would love to own. Even if you don't like toys or cars you can appreciate the amount of skill and effort it self and makes the item worthy of a place in any home.

Wow Zack, this is a beautiful car! Super job! I can’t complain about any of the elements, I like them all: the tires and hubs, the windshield, the paint, the satin finish. - so cool.

Wow, that was one of the best videos you've ever done!

Slick....so glad you are back

Great Work! Awesome windshield remake!

Excellent restoration! 👏👏👏👏

Your uploading fast, Happy to see you've reutned!

Man I'm glad your back for good

Beatiful work, and the cd rom is a really classy detail

The cd windshield is awesome. It looks amazing

Fantastic finish for a beautiful car.

Amazing car, dig it. Also love the 3D effect. Perfect car to ride the vapor of cyberspace.

All is looking well, I'd would prefer proportional wheels...otherwise the restoration looks fab!

that photo etching is pretty cool. Stuff I never thought was quite that easy. I'll definitely keep it in mind as an option in future projects.

Wow. Beautiful work. 😊👍👍

That came out nice! Good job

The marvelous Lancia Stratos a master piece ❤️

Great job. I learned some new stuff. Thanks.

Fantastic results here.

Look so good at the end, that such amazing work
