Love your videos! Got into them when i found my father's old matchbox collection and set out to find and replace them all with new ones, and your tutorials on restoring methods has really helped me make a sizeable dent!

Love the videos and love to see how passionate a collector you are and the work that goes into restoring these gems

You mentioned that you really didn't know the history of this car in real life but this would have been the machine done up in the classic blue-and-orange Gulf Oil livery. I'm old enough to remember these cars AND the "Hot Wheels" cartoon real time. Keep up the good work.

The baby blue and orange were gt 40s raced in 68 and 69. The j car was never raced. Ken Miles was killed testing the j car when the rear body came off. The car was repaired to ford mk4 specs and raced that way.

Really gorgeous looking Ford J-Car! Looks exactly the way it did when it was first packed into the box 50 years ago! Now it's ready to race down the track once again!!

Great video 👍

It looks brand new! I am amazed out how nice it looks. Thanks for sharing this and have a Merry Christmas.

I bet the hoods don't have very good continuity when you pid them in your electro-polisher as they aren't part of the rest of the body that you always fully "ground", try and see if attaching an additional alligator clip to the hoods' under sides take care of the issue.

Beat me by **checks timestamp** 16 hours. That was my first thought, too - electrical connection.

I think you're right. I'm going to try it myself to see.

You’re always a treat to watch, mate, if anyone is…

You can see in the before shots, the back seems to have already been discolored, so that might explain why it looked like it after electropolishing it

Great work, though I'm not a big of orange, this actually impressed me. Great color, it made the stickers stand out. Can't wait to see what you got in store next.

Sweet looking color! The zink plating looks good. Sounds like a good way to make sure the car last. :)

Excellent job!!... Well done!!... That orange is almost perfect colour match for my high class whisky, which i use for this Channel!!.. Happy Christmas!!... Cheers!!.

Marry Christmas Eve god bless you and your family I love the videos keep up the good work 😊

Truly the best gift for Christmas. Merry Christmas BaremetalHW!

Yet another excellent resto! Awesome job!

I will never learn to polish and recover an old hot wheels car but yet I still watched the full length of this video

You've inspired me to start practicing restoring old toy cars so that one day, I'll feel confident enough to restore the old ones from my childhood that really deserve to look new again

I think the extra polishing added a nice touch to the finish. Makes the orange pop, and adds just that little extra to the shine. Great job, the extra work pays off imho. Happy and safe holidays to you and yours.

Another nice restoration. Im woth you on that passion for stickers vs water-slides. Merry Christmas!

J-Car... one of my favorites! Nice job on it.

You missed a spot to paint black, its right above the other black part on the back.

Yeah it's the section on the back of the hood, not sure if that was intentionally left out.

That's a great result! I think the step where you polished it before painting made a big difference - usually I see scratch marks from the steel wool on the roof, but it looks like you polished those away here.

Great job. Thanks again for sharing. Love all your videos.

I've been watching a lot of these restoration videos lately. My favorites are the ones (like this one!) of cars that I had myself when I was a kid. This one turned out beautifully! I'm thinking of taking up this hobby myself. As nice as the paint looks, I'd love to do a couple shiny, unpainted ones. Thanks for sharing your work!

Great restoration custom , l love that orange colour 👍

I have a whole bunch of old hot wheels and matchbox cars from the 60s and 70s from when my dad was young. A lot of them look like these restoration projects. I wish I had the time to work on them like you’ve done! Great stuff!

Excellent job. Two thumbs up!

What a treat! Thank you for the holiday update

holy crap that colour came out absolutely gorgeous

Oh my god!!!! That orange looks amaaaaazing!!!!

Nice Job! The zinc plating you do gives a great finish..

Fantastic as always. I wish I could do this. I have restored furniture, so I understand how bringing something back to it's original form is so awesome.

You inspired me to start restoring old models as well. Trail and error, that is how I learn. My first car had to be painted 3 times before it came out ok.

Love the redline-orange combo, looks great. Cool car body too! Merry Christmas!!

That orange spectraflame looks great. Like a brand new penny.

Fantastic resto, well done!

That's an amazing colour. Nice job overall.

I like this cars design. Very nice restoration. Merry Christmas.

This turned out very cool! Love the orange color. 😎

That zinc plating is awesome!

Stunning resto. Can’t wait to see more. Merry Christmas RLRD

This was my favorite car as a kid, after watching your videos, I'm hoping I can find my old collection somewhere in storage, if I do, I'm going to go through the old backpack full of cars I had and start restoring them.

MERRY CHRISTMAS . Great video's . Great work , Mike Espo...

Great work. Very good restoration

Excellent restoration!

That window thou!👌👌✌

Merry Christmas! That is a stunning result! Loved the shine from the additional polish before paint. That windshield turned out looking brand new.

That "play in the bearings" is my favorite part of these things.

Turned out really great, thanks again from South Africa

Nice work once again. Car looks great.

Wow! Now that's what you call a restoration.

Gorgeous look, I'm sure you have your own ranking but from what I've seen this is some of your finest work.

Looks great. Love the orange. Merry Christmas

Sweet!! That’s one I’d want as a kid. So cool

that orange is sooo nice! and that was a windshield resto 101! great work and happy holidays, hopefully you get a stocking full of banged up matchbox and hot wheels!!

Very nice results. I never have any luck polishing the scratches out of windows. Something I still have difficulty with. 👍

another great restoration !! Merry Christmas !!!

Very happy I found your videos this year. Thanks - and Merry Christmas!

Nice colour, happy Christmas

I'm certain I used to have a blue one of these when I was a kid except on mine the rear hood opened up and there was a metal engine inside. Your restoration looks amazing by the way. If I find any old redlines in a box in my attic, I'm sending them your way.

Stunning job!

Cool job and colour combo

Merry Christmas, luv the spectra flame orange.

Beautiful job as usual.

I love this restoration, very very neat one! Merry Christmas!!

Love the orange - very cool color. Your videos bring back lots of memories. My brother and I probably destroyed half of the cars you have restored (hey - maybe we have contributed some of the cars you have been working on - always glad to be of service... :). Thanks for the videos and the detailed voiceovers!

Gorgeous work !!

Awesome video. My new year's resolution is to watch every BHW video. 😁😎

Awesome job great job on the stickers

Congratulations on the sponsorship, and merry Christmas.

Yes I love Jcars. They were my first redlines

Wow, I can't believe it's the same car. What a great job and Merry Christmas!

That little car looks great! A very nice restauration. Merry Christmas and a happy newyYear to you, your family and all the subscribers here, where ever they live. Greetings from Germany
