Useless trivia: The reason the wheels rode on the back plates was only to decrease friction (reducing surface area) to make them even faster. GREAT VIDEO!!

there is something satisfying about watching people do something that they are passionate about, it feels real and important and its a nice change of pace from a very "dramatic" world

Cute little Car. Fine restoration . The new color looks very good.

I appreciate that you discuss the history of the car and show the steps and discuss the reasons behind some of the choices made. I’m especially interested in the different assemblies of wheels and axles for different cars and different means of reassembling them. Great video as usual.

You know what I love about this channel? Seeing someone who clearly loves his hobby, and wants to share that passion. More than a relaxing voice, more than useful information, I have a reminder there are little things to enjoy in this world. Thank you for sharing!

Not once have I ever considered restoring hot wheels cars but I always enjoy watching your videos

I agree I wish they made backing plates too. Your 3D printed ones work great! Maybe Hong Kong has spares at their factory? Redline looks so much better than the old original scheme. The chrome rocket motor is awesome!

Great video and I appreciate all the courtesies shown for your regulars. Thank you for that.

Thank you for your videos. I find them enjoyable and soothing. A great trip back to my childhood.

Joel Jenkins - Except, of course, nobody did amazing restorations back in the 1970s!

Awesome restoration! I really love the spectaflame light blue you used for this car!

Stunning in every way. So much nicer than stock. The color is flawless, and the rocket motor is supreme. I would be proud to have that in a collection.

Fantastic! Soon you will create full wheels. Just amazing skills! Thanks for a great video of great work.

This is especially interesting for me. Shell stations were not in my area as a child. So this is a Hot Wheels history lesson as well as a great restoration. Thank you for saving these cars.

Great restoration! Love the new wheel set up you made.

A great choice of color! That blue really makes it pop!

Great job on this resto. I’m sure anyone who owned this one as a kid would love it even with the modern updates.

I never get bored watching your restoration videos.

better than factory finish and a clever workaround - i dig it!

The mirror polish came out great. I always enjoy watching you do your projects.

Nice video - I think your decisions about what could be done is very practical Please keep up the great work - your comment about a set of technique videos highlighting the differences and options is a great decision!

I can watch redline restoration vids all day long.. FANTASTIC !!!

I think this is how the designer thought it should look but then the bean counters came in and reality hit and the highly polished rocket just was not possible to make their profit. It’s amazing to think how a company can make such an item for children at that time and still be in business all these years later. Amazing toy then and another amazing restoration from you today.

Love the shine on the engine. I remember these cars . My big brother would collect them when my family was on vacation.

Wow the finished result looks great keep up the good work😁

This car is my favourite Hot Wheels car of all time. I've got a battered up one just like this. I might think about restoring it now

It is an easy one to do so give it a shot.

I really like the blue on blue, window/paint combo! Nice work. Thank you.👍🏼🤘🏼😎

This versions better. Looks cleaner without the gimmick. Good call on keeping the video quick and adding in that interesting bit of history!

This is the biggest improvement to the look of a car I've seen you do. As a kid I might not have taken the original pink thing, even for free. Turned out beautifully.

I like how you come up with new methods to do things. I enjoy the challenge of a badly damaged car or trying to restore a car where parts are not available as well. Cheers.

It’s really interesting when you share the history and your knowledge, looking forward to more

As usual, knocked it out of the park. Love the polished jet cowling. Windex is beautiful

You are a genius. You should make those cap style models public.

I love watching your restorations

This came out great! Love the color change and the polished booster. This was one of my favorite cars in my collection when I was a kid. It went on every mission. Mine was yellow and I still have it. Would love to do a resto like this one day. Those wheels look fantastic on this model. Thanks for sharing.

Very beautiful, love you polish the rocket motor, it looks amazing. Thank you for sharing your story. God bless you and your family

This really looks spectacular. I agree totally with your personal choices here.

This is one HW I've never seen. Came out perfect. Color and wheel caps are Good. Good Job.. 👍

These 70s space age designs are always so amazing.

I am so inspired by how far your restorations have developed! It gives me great ideas when I restore my Matchbox models - currently working on box art for the Matchbox models. Not just the main front image but for those boxes which had a side elevation of the model on the side flaps, an inset of a feature or the white line art. Your videos have given me the confidence to try many things! Thank you!

I LOVE this guy!!! Great HW restoration info and R&D. And a wonderful History Lesson about Mattel.

Love that mirror polish.

The super polished engine looks great!

Absolutely stunning. Love the shape of this car. Great job restoring her.

That engine all polished up like that is beautiful.

Whoa. That engine turned out better than I thought it was going to. Love the color as well. Great work!

Love that engine, very nice eye catcher! Great restoration.

Very Cool restoration Sir. Love how the rocket came out when you polished it !!!!!!!!

As a regular viewer, I actually like in-depth steps to everything. Doesn’t get redundant for me, but I can understand if others don’t fee the same.

Your videos no matter which one would not for me my friend, I think you did a fantastic job. It looks better in blue then pink anyway, I think the wheels work just fine. I have watched a lot of your videos my friend, I may not have commented on everyone, it's your video you do what you want and I will watch it my friend thank you for sharing.

One of my new favorite videos you produce. You do an excellent job of explaining, and showing your work. I really enjoy your work and I hope you keep producing wonderful restoration/ modifications. Great channel.👍

Awesome restoration. I love me some Windex blue cars.

OMG the polished engine looks awesome!!! More of this please!

Looks great. Would love to see the your working headlights technique used for the rocket exhaust - drill out the nozzle for the LED, hide baters in the empty rear of the car and run wires up the rocket post. Keep up the great builds.

Great result, and great idea on rectifying the wheel issue! Cheers

One of your best ever! Big improvement over the original.

I like the ‘stock’ restorations a whole lot. Great video 👍

The engine was a great choice. The polished/chrome look is fantastic!

I love the new technique using the metal flake basecoat. Also, that Windex color is my favorite Spectraflame color. I'd have polished the engine as you did too. You're the best at this that I've seen on KZread. Marty does great things with Matchbox. But, when it comes to Redlines, you're the man.

It looks great! And those wheelcaps work fine for me! And that engine!!! Man that looks sweet!

It came out great. Brilliant idea for the wheels.

Here's another hypotheis for you: The original wheels may have ridden on the "back plate" in order to make them roll better by significantly reducing the amount of tire touching the "road", reducing friction.

Damn man, i never bored of this kind of restoration videos. Great job! 👍

Love the cab wheel idea can’t wait to see you get past the prototype stage

Really nice job. Looks much better than the original. Paint job is excellent. Keep up the great work 👍🏼

This turned out nice.

That color is stunning

Quite possibly your best restoration yet. Love the blue color

Love it! Perfect color and it looks great with the rocket motor polished.

Turned out great. Nice touch with the black on the engine.

Man ide love to see your collection. This one turned out great! The polished engine is everything.

Turned out great. Never even knew that they made a bare bone version of this car, when you first showed it, I was like, hey, that car isn't quite right. Lol

You are surely very clued up on the Hotwheel cars it turned out really good👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I do so enjoy your channel. You are always coming up with something that I think, "why don't they do such and such"? Great info on the wheels. I have a blackwall Rocket bye Baby and have resisted opening it because of the wheel situation. Thanks again for being one step ahead of everyone.

You could always 3D print something to fit inside and close off the wheel wells. Your restorations are beautiful.

lol I actually thought of fully converting this back to the 1971 version.. I decided not to as it would take time to design the inside parts.

Hey I like it I can’t afford to have original redlines in new condition but I would love to have a collection of restored redlines to this quality Great job sir

Outstanding work and finish! I never knew this one existed before but it looks good. I like the repo wheels , paint and polished jet engine. The technique of painting in silver then Spectraflame makes for a nicer finish I think. Thanks for sharing this neat tutorial.

Turned out great and the polished engine is my favorite part.

Best video yet. Love the history lesson!

Great video! I remember that promo from Shell gas. I wish I still had those cars.

Getting bored? You are an artist Even you put a video about a pebble, I watch it

This looks sick! The rocket looks silly but fitting, and the paints great! Amazing job!

that blue is so mesmerizing

Very nice finish, my parents had a 70' SS Chevelle the same shade of blue. I was almost convinced you pulled a sneaky and had the rocket chromed. I'd bet this would make an interesting mad max build 😂 cheers.

Brilliant result, looks great in windex blue with the mirror polished rocket! First time I've ever seen this casting, kinda looks like Wile E Coyote's daily driver lol.

Great looking restoration. Color looks good.

Dude that’s awesome! Great job

The back plates were larger because when on track they had less friction and the car ran faster down the track. beautiful job as always

you got it quite right its exhaust nozzle i love what you did with the black paint on the rocket engine nice touch

That blue paint looks really cool.

It's cool watching you restore some beyond gone cars. Especially if the oxidation is horrible.
