Extreme Redline Restorations: Hot Wheels 1968 Python Restore
In this video we will restore a 1968 reline python. Part of the "Sweet Sixteen", the original 16 cars that Hot Wheels put out. I will be showing off a much cheaper way to paint the Spectroflame finish using "over the counter" paints to save on $$$.

I loved watching pimp my ride. My favorite show of the 2000's. Used to watch after coming home from school every day.
I'm 40 and I STILL don't know what I wanna be when I grow up, then I began to watch your videos.

baremetalHW question how do you rivet the cars back together?
@ChristopherCobra
7 жыл бұрын
He typically does not. He seems to use screws after he taps the drilled holes. Technically the cars are not riveted as far as I can tell, but use peened pins. So I am kinda curious how you "restore" the rivets
don't know why this was recommended to me but sweet video

It's been 45 years, and the very moment you showed the car I said out loud, "that's a Python".

I am not a hot wheels person, but there is something so satisfying about restoring something to its former glory.
Anybody else addicted to these restoration videos?????
Think of all the Hot Wheels that were smashed or just left outside , I used to send a lot of Matchbox cars to someone I met on Ebay and he would restore them for me like you did here . they are every bit as nice to original to me . nice video and good description . Ray in Pa.
I had no idea people restored these things

i never knew there guys out there restoring old hot wheels thank you for keeping them looking beautiful!
I haven't looked at a hot wheels car in years, and I've watched five of your videos. Why is this so interesting?
I LOVE the the red paint on this one. Such a nice shade.
This is insanely good. You have inspired me to create my own series about restoring hot wheels too :) Keep up the good work man I seriously love this stuff.

im 62, I was 12 when the 1968 Hot Wheels hit shelves. Im revisiting my childhood. Thanks gang . I didnt know people restored them until recently, neat.
That is pretty cool, What a difference from the way it looked when you found it.
Have watched others producing videos of the same subject and processes, your product is far superior and much more entertaining and informative.
Love going back and watching old videos seeing the old technices
Nearly impossible to believe - except I watched you do it. IMPRESSIVE. You have some very special talents. Thanks for sharing...
This inspires me to get some old Hot Wheels and restore them. I used to have many Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars from the early 70s up into the 80s. Hot Wheels were my favorite but Matchbox had some neat ones in their own right. They did a lot of cars that Hot Wheels didn't really have, like old Ford Police cruisers and such. I have so many irons in the fire now that I don't know when I'll find the time to restore some but I'm gonna make time! Thanks for sharing
I've been restoring real cars for 35 years. This is very relaxing and entertaining.
Love your painting technique
Spectacular restoration! Hats off!
I know it's not correct, but I enjoy the paint finish on this car much more than the more expensive spectra paints. It really turned out beautiful. Well done!
Best paintjob you have ever done by me
That restoration came out crazy nice, good job
Splendid restoration! Hats off!
Great job. the end result was worth the $1 for the car. who's laughing now? Thanks for sharing.
That is an incredible paintjob!
I had this same car from a Hot Wheels set I got for Christmas in in 1969. Mine was blue with a black top.

I found a 1968 python that was green that someone had bronze dipped in attempt to preserve the car. Instead the wheels fell off and the metal had oxidized. Not sure it can be restored.
What a transformation good to see an oldie with a new lease of life and looking top dollar well done, chris (uk)
They say you can polish a terd and it's still.....They need to see this. Literally took a junk yard Hot Wheels and made a beautiful show piece. You do real nice work. I used to air brush model cars 1/24th scale. My air brush kit was stolen unfortunately. Spray paint just doesnt match the quality. Although air brushing can be tricky depending on the paint, coats, etc. I wish you'd do a video on airbrushing. I'm at the most an inexperienced novice. So any tips would help. Thanks and nice job. Love the videos.
That's a hell of a transformation.
That came out really nice. Should dig around and see if I can't find those old Hot Wheels I got laying around.
These videos do my heart well. Bringing back lost beauty.
Awesome job! The only issue I have is that the Python has a flat black roof (except a few rare examples) so it would be nice to see that done too. Keep up the good work!
Cool. I had a Python and a Silhouette when I was a kid. I can't remember the colour of the Python, but the Silhouette I had had a lustrous, pearlescent purple finish with tiny little flecks in the paint. Funny how modern paint technologies let you give old Hot Wheels cars a better finish than they would have had when they originally came from the factory. It's a little like the way digitization of old photographs makes them look newer, brighter and sharper than they really were.
Wonderful paint job

I got a lot of old hot wheels that I beat up since I was a Lil kid... Imma restore a few thanks to this video!!
Very beautiful result, thank you for sharing your journey. God bless you and your family
Asymmetrical designs are much better than people expected
Back in the'60's I had just about every hot wheels and matchbox cars you could get . These little videos are interesting. Oh, I'm a professional auto detail technician by trade🙂
You do the best restorations and in my oppinion you have the best vidios for me to get my "hot wheels fix"
This was the most interesting video i have ever seen. Thank all that is good and holy that I used these 4 minutes and 28 seconds of my life that I am never getting back to see it
This one looks better than new. Poor man's spectra flame paint actually works pretty well.
Looks so great when you are done!
Great work. It is fun to know someone is bothering to save them. My best friends Father was as an exec at BBD&O, a huge ad firm, and he had a set of these well before most everybody else. It was a phenomenon. We were big on Matchbox and Corgi cars already.
I actually like watching the sanding, it is very satisfying...
It’s just looking amazing, love the final result. Thank you for sharing your amazing story. God bless you and your family
Wow, I had no idea that Hot Wheels restoration was actually a thing! Good thing I still have all my old Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars from a kid! (Well, at least the ones that didn't get lost while I was playing with them lol).
Wow! Very cool👍you know believe it or not! That's one of my favorite cars from the sweet 16 collection! I know it's probably the cheapest, but to me I love the way it looks on stance😃👌good job👍
It's too bad my favorite thing to do with my Hot Wheels was to take them around the side of the house where my mom couldn't see me, soak them in lighter fluid, crash them together and then light them on fire! I recognize quite a few of the ones you're restoring. 🚒🔥🚒🔥🚒🔥
That car turned out beautiful better than new
Holy moly, these videos are like heroin on my brain... I haven’t slept in two days because of this guy. I love his guy’s sense of detail and dedication. 10/10 like a boss.
Thanks for sharing,I never realized they sold parts for them. I just recently dug out all my old cars from my childhood and my daughter absolutely loves to play with them.But I pulled the oldest and special ones aside and I'd love to give it a go.Also she loves to work on stuff so chances are she'll have fun with it too.
Beautiful job! I couldn't believe how polished you got it, wow!
Gorgeous work. So much of what you do and the tools you use are like my jewelry repair I do.
that custom came out really nice
I had paid a dollar for a matchbox 6 wheel Euclid dump truck, after sanding it down and painting it lime green it turned out really great.
amazing detail on your work.
Exellent job, a really nice finished project !
Love the work. Watching your videos calms me down. I think I might need to start a hobby
I DID NOT LNOW THAT PEOPLE DID THIS, something great has just opened up to me.

Love the restoration, thanks a lot for sharing! I've never gotten sick from a video before, but that paper towel deal at the beginning made my stomach spin a bit haha. Thanks again!
This was the best restoration
I am loving your videos, thanks for posting.
I still have my old hotwheels cars, And this video inspired me ! Thank you for the tips ı am gonna restore the bad condition ones now !
I find these videos so satisfying
I'm not sure why this just now popped into my recommended videos, but I'm upset it's taken me this long to see your vids. Great find! Subscribed.
Great job! Well done!
Wow, what an amazing transformation. Great job!
This was my first Hot Wheels car. Got it in 1969 only ever got 2 of them when I was a kid the Python and a Spitting Image because I was getting bigger and I was getting into other things like bush walking and camping around the same time. These Red Line cars and Dragster high rise bikes that came out here around the same time were the first metallic painted things I remember other than cars in Hot Rod magazines. Still have the 2 Hot Wheels cars and some other Red Line cars I've found over the years. I keep them in an origin Hot Wheels case that looks like a mag wheel.
Best resto I've seen . 👍🏻
Iv watched a few of your Redline Restoration videos ...Great work man beautiful turn out on the cars
Got a blue one, first Hot Wheels ever, Christmas 1968, along with a purple Siamese Slingshot. Well-loved, missing the engine, wouldn't give it up for anything.. Good memories. 1
A neat job, it looks great.
You got mad skills bro. Love your work.
I actually liked the chrome look with no paint on it ! You did such a good job polishing it, I think you should have let like that. It's amazing to get a chrome look like that, from the junker that it was.
Enjoying your videos!! Great paint and restoration on this one!!
Just as good as Discovery Channel.
Excellent work!
very nice paintjob :o

I smashed all mine up when I was younger, and I'm still getting them from garage and thrift sales for pennies, and smashing them up today. The fact that these cars have any value is thanks to people like me who liquidate a fair chunk of the production making the remaining ones rarer.
WHOAH you did so good on this car!!!
Beautiful job.
Amazing restoration love the colour well done 👍.
When you don’t have enough money to revamp a real car. Perfect for me
