I don't even collect diecast cars, i just watch those videos because damn it is satisfying to watch a work well done. I also really like the wheels on this car.

I don’t post on it but I do it my self you get a sense of accomplishment when you see such a huge difference

I'm so glad you like Toy Polloi. He's awesome. I've been watching him for years. I'm a 27 year old woman and have no interest in old kenner figures but I love action figures in general being the huge tomboy that I am. I just found your channel a couple days ago amd I can't stop watching. You guys are both extremely talented and therapeutic to watch.

Great video, but on a ‘64 Oldsmobile that is a fender badge, not a side marker light. Hit it with the chrome pen 😀

It’s actually a 65 or 66. I haven’t read down far enough to see if someone else caught that.

I know this is an old video,but the refills for the Molotow markers you use can be used in an airbrush and produce a chrome finish that is second to none. As for a clear coat, use Alclad II gloss Klear Kote. It is made for metallic paints and won't dull them.

Where do you get the refills for the Molotow Chrome pens? I can only get the pens at Hobby Lobby.

A big thanks for the shout out. I've been a fan of your channel for a long while. You do amazing work and I've learnt loads from you. Keep up the great videos.

thanks . it’s mine

It looks utterly gorgeous when finished.

In my opinion, the '60s car diecasts are probably the coolest to restore because cars at that time were quite unique and had lots of options and features you won't find on automobiles today! Not to mention, they had style, class, and were works of art in their own right. The Oldsmobile Starfire was indeed a gorgeous and spectacular car in its heyday!

What an amazing transformation! It seemed like this was a much lower-quality car than a Hot Wheels or Matchbox however I think that the end product after the restoration was one of the nicest I have seen you do. I agree with other commenters, the color you chose was perfect for this car. Thanks for saving it!

I don’t collect, restore or have any die cast cars. I watch these videos for the pleasure of seeing this wonderful art of restoration. Thank you!

This restoration turned out really good.

Love the green paint. Great choice.

One of your best restorations yet! Those super raised features really pop with the thinner paint that you applied. Very defined and very cool!

That’s a 70’s flashback look to me. Came out great!

Please do more customs restorations like this please it's always fun to watch your content. Id love to watch these off brand classics

awesome! it really dose look like a vintage MATCHBOX. you did an amazing job at restoring it!!!

This project came out absolutely amazing. The before and after I think is the best work yet nice

Best video yet! I really enjoy watching this, it's very satisfying.

I know this is a very old video, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Growing up, our family car was a 1965 Oldsmobile Dynamic. Very similar to the 65 Starfire you have there. Now, in my 60s, I own a 2 door, 1965 Delta 88. Again, very similar to that toy. FYI, the 'side marker' you painted yellow is actually an Oldsmobile logo badge. There were no side markers on Oldsmobiles until 1968, per federal mandate thanks to a guy named Ralph Nadar.

If you decided to let this go feel free to hand it over at the next toy show. Gorgeous!

Man that came out real nice! More please!! Great job!!

That colour reminds me of an old school friends fathers Oldsmobile from the mid 1970’s. They were American and brought the car to the town where I lived in the U.K. when they came to live there. Always loved that car!

Mark is right! That is a fender badge! Chrome or yellow, this car looks great!! I love your videos, so many blasts from the past!! Keep up the good work and giving these old toys a new lease on life!

I thought I was the only person that still had this car!! I'm happy to see what it would look like restored...

I’ve always wanted to see a demo derby custom

Wow that car came out gorgeous, love those old big cars! Two thumbs my friend

whenever i don't have anything to watch, i see one of your videos suggested. i love these because they're so relaxing and oddly satisfying when you make a car in rough shape look brand new

WOW this car came up just awesome.. and thankyou for the vinegar trick for rusty axles

I'm not in this hobby whatsoever, don't know how I got here, and yet I love watching these restoration videos.

An opening trunk lid... Husky really knew how to build excitement into their toys for the kiddies, didn't they? 😉

Beautiful result for a 50c car. As usual, a great video production. My week is complete, thank you sir

I have a Olds Starfire Coupe same as this! It was kool to see it restored. I've had mine since new. Would love to see it new again.

The "side marker light" is actually the Oldsmobile badge

Yes, you should paint over it with the chrome instead. American cars did not have to have side marker lights until 1968.

wow it's a husky I love those old things

That color is kick ass dude

this is by far one of your greatest jobs. I love it, you made it look amazing congrats

My first car was a 1968 Olds Delmont 88 convertible (w/ 455 c.i. engine) and it was a green color like this. Excellent choice.

I would have used either the chrome pen or sprayed the body color on the wheels. Maybe sprayed the plastic seats tan or white. But the car looks amazing. Its amazing what you pull of with these shot out cars! :-D

Just beautiful work!!! Love the color.

dude, that looks really good. the chrome accents you gave it with the marker really make it stand out!

Boy that turned out nice. Good to see something unusual.

Incredible restoration....CONGRATULATIONS 😊😊👍🏿

I hope you never stop making these videos. They're so relaxing to watch

Looks great...good choice for the color of the car

Nice to restore something that didn't have quality control for once, It turned out great!

I thought the comparison between the white and black chrome made the opposite point to what you said. The black looked way better. Worth doing imo.

You made a cheaper looking model look really presentable, nice job !

Nice work, love the added colors to the body, red and silver. They bring out a better looking car. Thanks for sharing.

My favorite one so far. That looks fantastic!

This is one of my favorites. Probably because it was beater husky and it became this olive gem. Thanks

The drab green was a nice choice. Feels very period correct.

To make it pure clean and simple, I used to collect all of these evil horde action figures. Back then during the late 1980s.

I love your channel so much, I was part of that reddit surge a few months ago and your videos are just so therapeutic to watch

what you just did was amazing you took a complete turd and turned it into jewelry I mean yeah the flaws in the casting can't be helped so now it's not perfect like you said but still wow great job and I love that color

That color is perfect for that car. That color or a dark maroon/brown. My dad had a Chevy Caprice that was a sightly lighter shade of this. What a boat!?

I love this restoration, well done! So awesome you gave a shout out to Toy Polloi.

Still my favorite of your videos.

Love this green! Came out great!

You sir are a real artist!! Thank you for the tips!!

Wow this has probably been the biggest transformation yet! So awesome!

Something so satisfying about your word choice the way you talk and the cool cloe ups. Oh and the cars!

Fantastic restore, unbelievable difference.

Great, a new one.....i look forward to watching your show...very satisfying!

This is mesmerizing. Such attention to detail and great knowledge sharing - thank you.

Looks great!

That car turned out great! What a difference! Great coliur choice!! Love it!

Not only a great video, but what an awesome shoutout to ToyPolloi. That's pretty nice of you :)

I never even heard of Husky but it's not surprising as there's probably been, and still are, dozens of companies making cheap diecasts. I really liked that olive color as it reminds me of the factory paint job our '71 Monte Carlo had.

I have two mint of these in the blue. That olive is stunning and if I thought I'd have a fraction of the talent to do so, I'd change out one to Spctraflame Olive as well!

Another beautiful job on a classic car!!

Great resto and love that colour.

a constant that I note in all the 1/48 scale model car manufacturers, it is always the imperfection of the interior of the car models. To date, therefore, no model car manufacturer has overcome this gap.

I can't stop watching these videos, love your work!!

That is an amazing rescue. Looks phenomenal. Also, nice of you to shout out Toy Polloi. Agreed, his channel is great- he should have way more subs.

I honestly love watching your videos sometimes. It's rather soothing in a way, and I like seeing how you turn a car from looking almost like a junker to a thing of beauty. By the way, do you happen to have a P.O. Box or something? I have a few old Hot Wheels cars I would love to send to you and see how you restore them. Even just one of them, really. I want to display them on a shelf I have, but due to their condition, I sadly can't do so...

Great job with that "time period accurate" color! You really did excellent work with this one.

Xlent! Took an old low quality car and made it shine. Well done sir!

Had a few of these ! The realistic detail and color you've added look great on this car

That is a good restoration project right there!!!

Love the colour. Really suits the car. Great job.

I love the paint! Awesome job

These old Husky cars are neat. I've started looking at buying some to mess with. The 59 Buick is especially neat.

That was a dang good restoration. The before and after are night and day.

Nice results! I used to have a ton of Husky cars when I was a kid, because my mom wouldn’t spend the extra $ on Hot Wheels...if you can believe that .69 cents versus .99 cents for Hot Wheels...but that .30 cent difference was equal to a loaf of bread, back in 1968-‘69...My favorite Husky was the Batmobile! I loved it until my little brother played with it and destroyed it...

You *both* deserve way more subscribers. You two are my *must watch* on KZread!

Awesome video. Cheap cars deserve some love too.

It started with pop up telling me there was a new awesome video waiting for me... then i saw Old Starfire... and i jumped on the mouse, because i learned to drive a manual in my dads starfire gt, from the mid 70's.... i didnt know olds made starfires pre 70's so i guess im tying to say thank you twice, once for the memories, and again for a slick resto job i can learn from ;) have a great weekend mr baremetal!

I haven’t seen all your videos, but this is probably my favorite of your restorations

Beautiful restoration and great color choice! That raised area on the front fender is not a running light but rather a distinctive crest/emblem that Olds used back then. I immediately recognized it after you stripped the paint and was surprised that Husky included such a small detail on the casting. And if you applied some Armor-All on a q-tip to the tires, the black sheen would make that beautiful paint-job pop even more.
