Never mind taking them apart, another vote for a video on making those cutaways and encasing them in resin please!

They seem to be encased in resin first,then cut-away.

I'm betting he built a small form, filled the bottom 1/8 or so, dropped the car in, filled the form, let the resin cure and then cut resin and car with the bandsaw you see in other videos

Best Hot Wheels "how to" video out there. Thanks for taking your time and doing it.
Great tips. Thanks for sharing them. You have some very useful tools that I need to get now :D
I make a second living on action figure repair. This video has given me countless ideas. Thank you for taking the time to do this!
Those half-cars embedded in resin get the Nobel Prize. They deserve their own video (unless you're already made one about them and I missed it)
I am not into hot wheels, I have no hot wheels, but I am fascinated by these videos. Great job, and I love the cut-aways!
I've removed the rivets for disassembly this way for many years, but I never thought about tapping such a small space. That is genius!
The cutaway was my favorite part of this video ...... That is freaking awesome in so many ways ...... Do you have a collection of the cutaways? If not I think that could be a thing

Anything to do with engineering just draws me in and seeing the inside from the cutaway is possibly the coolest "how it's made" display I've ever seen for hot wheels cars ...... So many of the things you have explained are applicable to many other hobbies and that's my main reason for following as I'm not a collector personally but always loved hot wheels

would love a video on the cut-aways too! very neat. Thank you for another great video.
Hands down the BEST video on this subject out there. I'm new, watched a few and didn't really understand. This was great, thanks!
Hands down the most helpful video on this topic I've yet encountered. Splendid, thank you.
Holy moly that cut! Now I want to try that lol

Great job! I never get tired of your video's. Thanks.
Thanks I am a begginer but watch you all the time! I love your redline restorations!!
What a great tutorial and information. I can now actually DO something with the 300+ Matchbox and 500+ Hot Wheels cars that I have collected from second hand and dump stores over the past thirty years or so. They all just sit in boxes until now. I finally have tie (I retired October 2016) but had no idea how to start in on these cars...Thank You SO much! Love your channel and the explanations are inspirational...
Those cars cut in half in acrylic or whatever that is are AWESOME. That would be a really good way of showing what the holes look like after they have been tapped.
This is by far the best and neatest how to drill and tap video!!! I would like to see a articulated Hot Wheels incased in plastic.
Great video, thanks. I love the cut-away models!
Thorough and informative as usual mate. I particularly liked the cut aways in resin..nice touch. Thank you sir
Great video!! ,when you make the thread, place a drop of oil, then for each turn, do half back and turn clockwise again to eat material, you can place a bit holder on a manual screwdriver and have more control over a T-type handle
Thumbs up for the sectioned car and added to favorites for the awesome tutorial!
Great Video !!! Always Informative And High Quality . Thank You .
Rather than using a center drill bit, you might be better off with a drill bit made for plastic. These bits have a sharper point angle, similar to the center drill bit, but without the pilot tip so it won't increase the diameter of the hole you drilled for the tap. This should help with tapping shorter posts. Excellent video and thanks for sharing the info!
Thank you for the clear and fun instructions.
Great tutorial. Thank you for explaining everything so clearly.
Thanks. This is perfect timing for this video. Osprey games just released a rule set for a dystopian car battle/death race game called Gaslands. I am sure many hobby gamers like me will find this video very useful as we start modifying cars for the game.
WOW!!!! This is awesome! BIG LIKE ;)
Great tutorial, looking forward to the next ones👍👍
Great video! I always enjoy your content, keep up the good work.
Excellent presentation. Really good use of cutaways, which look cool, btw.
Great video. Awesome cutaways
Very concise and to the point. Thank you!
Glad I seen that you use Center Drill's I was having a hard time with my first project.
Just ordered a countersink drill bit set - always hated to see the base get gnawed up but a regular bit. Can't wait to try this. Thanks for the tip.
never knew there's a drill bit like that, now I'm curious if I can get em, looks helpful a lot, thx dude
Great piece of imformation. Thanks for sharing. I think I have enough imformation now to start my own restorations ☺
Very helpfull barmetalhw, i'm cleaning out my parents house and finding and sorting all my acquired cars through the years. I always wondered if there were a way to fix/change out axles and other parts since i was very little. Since i followed your channel, now going through my car hoard has many ideas on how to fix or modify them. Thanks a lot man. (And those halved hotwheels blocks are crazy cool)
Thank you so much for these videos.
Good video. Very thorough. Those cross sections are great. They are probably super fun to make.
Thank you for videos. They are very informative.
Great tip with the countersunk bits! I'll head to HF tomorrow!
Excellent demonstration 🚂
Couple of tips....Tap drill for a 2-56 tap is a #50 drill bit (0.070"). A center drill that has a tip that's smaller than the #50 tap drill bit is a #1 center drill. This will ensure that you don't make a bigger hole in the post than you need to. When tapping, always helps to lubricate the tap with tapping fluid, especially tapping sticky materials like the zinc/zamak car bodies. You could get away with a thin oil or penetrating fluid (like WD 40) in a pinch. The important thing is to keep the material from sticking to the tap, binding it up and causing breakage.

Omg yes I have been watching your restoration videos and would like to learn how I know you have a how to playlist but I would love to see more videos like this such as: supplies or what to do if.. or tips and tricks
Good information! I really like the cut away cars!
awesome vid man! those cutaway cars were really neat!
This is a perfect series for a game I've gotten into recently called Gaslands. It's all about modifying hot wheels.

+aowoodworks man you are the third person to bring up that game today...I have to get out there and try it out.
I have to admit it hurt a bit seeing that Charger cut in half. Informative video as always! It was nice to finally see a screw in a Hot Wheel base. I've heard about this being a way to reassemble them but hadn't searched for pics.
Okay, now a tutorial on how to encase the cutaway.
Great video!
Great video, thanks for the tips
Thanks, I'm currently working on two projects for which this was very helpful, the first is just a repaint of a hot wheels bike, the other is a mod of a hot wheels car to make it compatible with something called the Drive Driver
I know this is old but the cutaways were really helpful and cool.
Gods, thank you so much, I will definitely be showing this video to the person who sells drill parts so I can purchase the right thing. I have this miniature (1:59) Majorette Toyota Yaris vvti 2005 model that is the perfect copy of my Mum's car which I will be opening with this technique and then customizing the interior and exterior to make it perfectly resemble our car. Thank you for explaining, this will help me immensely.
Very cool 😎 nice work 👍🏻
You've inspired me ! I've just bought a matchbox dodge challenger superfast that needs attention hopefully I'll do it justice.
This is great info for doing conversions for Gaslands
Looked like the base would slip over that button head screw. Very good tip about tapping the hole first. I have waited to last before and snapped the tap off in the hole. They are so fragile.
I also realized that; this is learning the basics about, reassembling toy cars.😳
Awesome video dude thanks great tips to
Your awesome, love the Countach 1/2
Great video man
Great way to teach this really helped me understand how too do this thank you very much
Those cut aways are really sweet.
Add me to the list wanting to see a how to on cutaways. Those are fantastic.
Great tips. :)
Really helpful information.
Pretty nice explanation. The cutaways are cool. I would find a smaller T type tap handle to reduce chance of breaking the tap, they can give earlier warning signs of binding.
Excelent, really good explanation thanks for share your Knowledge
Great tutorial! Very useful! I've been using hot glue to put the cars back together after I use the shallow V drill bit.
Awesome video brother... Those cut in half cars are awesome... Cant wait for you to make a video on how to make them...😊😉😁👍👍👍👍👍✋👌
excellent video
I have that tool bit! Heck yes, I can repair Hot Wheel cars! Thank you!
Nice video I've been doing this for some years now I even use to chop and drop the trucks b4 hotwheels use to but now there doing more cooler vehicles now and even impalas it's a very easy way to make 20/30 bucks for a car that cost 1 dollar
Thank you sir, nice job
My friend do your thing and dont worry what peoole comment. If they can do better they should put up a video im just saying...good job on all your creations
Hi there. Great information. I was wondering- it looked like the hole in the base was larger than the button head screw. If this happens, what do you do? Are there small washers you would use? Can you link them? Thank you
Awesome video. Tks again, Baremetal.

I just hit the like button as hard as I could
Ive also drilled through my hand hit anerve causing me to loose feeling in my hand for a year, now I never hold what im drilling. Padded vises are a savior
I customized two 1959 Cadillac Hot Wheels into the gigahorse from Mad Max Fury Road. It was a very difficult build but turned out pretty good.
Superb video
Countersinks are made for doing exactly what you are doing with the center drill here. You could even get an 82 degree countersink and use flat head cap screws rather than the button head you use currently. That way they would sit flush.
Wow i love that cutaway display! If you make a how to video I’d like to supply a car that would be worth while!
Thanks so much, that so helped
I've been using the same Tap for 3yrs. done 100s of cars.
Thanks so much for the video! All my doubts have been cleared, mind to tell me how deep do you drill the mushroom?
Now I want a video on how you did those cool half cars in plastic!
When I tap a hole I like to grease the tap to it goes in easier right or not it works
That was pretty helpful. I would also like to know how you made those cuboid thingies
great video. when i have more time and money, i want to start working on redlines.
Nice job bro , vou compra essa broca rsrsr
I like how you did the cutaway.
👍 NICE!!!
Very timely. I just took a diecast car apart and would like to tap it for a screw for future work.
Those cutaway cars are awesome!!! please show us how to make one :D
Hi, I'm starting to get into modding hot wheels, for the time being I just want to swap wheels and do some detail painting to the existing paint job (paint booth will come later I hope). My question is, when you initially drill into a modern hot wheen with the smaller bit (I believe the one that comes with the tap) how far do you drill into the post? Is there a stopper you can add to the drill bit so that you don't drill too far in? Thank you!
I am looking forward to your new videos and I was to know more
Hey i have a question about the repainting, can it be done with a standard paint brush and different paints ?
