You should really do a video where you take a modern car and make it look like a classic redline!

@@Zed32_Customs I more meant like, take a brand new, just released casting, and make it look almost identical to a classic redline, as in enough to trick a not so savvy collector, or enough to where, from afar, it can be mistaken as a real redline, its so accurate
While not the intent with this build, but with the effect of from the CD coating and the pre-painted clear wheels you had the beginnings of a strong vaporwave (or perhaps even cyberpunk) aesthetic that would be interesting to see explored.

Yup, I had the same thought when I saw that iridescent effect and I think that sort of aesthetic would really match this car.

Even the body of the car looks like the very vehicle that visited me when I caught the vapors while viewing vaporware videos, that was a vivid specter of spectra-flame vivisected into a vibrant pink and purple. It was quite the vision.

That gunmetal grey paint job was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!
Amazing restoration, and what a surprise to see my logo being etched! That made me chuckle.

The back wheel looks fine the front might need to be a little smaller.

"Smaller" might be the answer but clear side elevation images of the prototype would probably help a lot. Dunno if such a thing exists, though!

The cd coating actually gave it that futuristic heads up or windshield computer interface display look to it. Cool vid and great work
I am happy you are back. Thank you for putting the time and effort into doing this as a hobby. I have taken this up as a hobby when I was first introduced to your channel. This has helped me with my mental wellbeing, especially over the past year.
My dad and uncle had redlines and there still at my grandpas house and I really wish I could play with and restore Them but poor grandpa is old and he isn’t able to get them from upstairs and send them. My dad wished he could see them again too. You are my Favorite creative youtuber and I look at you as my favorite guide. I am so happy we ACTUALLY met, Thank you so much Zack.
It looks pretty darn cool to me, and I like the cd windshield idea very cool.
The CD plastic windshield is something that I would never think of. Its awesome how innovative and passionate about this hobby you are.

Id love a tutorial on your cd technique! Id love to make windscreens and lenses for my scale models.
You remind me of something my grandfather used to always say. "There's always a way if you're interested"!
For applying the transfer paper to the metal, using a tool called a brayer lets you apply pressure evenly. Just something I came across some years ago for similar applications, thanks for the videos!
Look great, maybe a smaller front wheel.
13:03 You, sir, are one of the most classiest KZreadrs I know.
The CD windshield is neat but I feel like it needs some kind of curve instead of being flat.

havent watched in a while and im very impressed at how your techniques have evolved over the years
It's a thriller of a car (thanks for the '80s flashback!)
“I need more practice scratch-building CD windshields.” There’s a phrase your 10-year old mind would have never conceived! Haha! That freakin Moonwalker 3D comic tho!! 😮😮 Awesome! That’s something my 19-yr old self would have gone nuts for back in 88 had my 19-yr old self been paying more attention to life. 😂🤷♂️
This is an incredible resto-mod. The stance and colors used for this car redefine its character completely in a revamped, wicked-beastly cool way. Fabulous job and amazing creativity!
I love that you're back and keep going above and beyond with your cars! The result is awesome!
What a fantastic result! So many steps and different processes, there's a true quality to your craft. Happy you're back, your channel got me interested again in diecast cars and modding them at an adult age. Cheers!
That CD windshield is amazing, this build is stunning
That CD windshield would have looked amazing on this with the body color.
This is great! Been watching Casey build one, had never seen a diecast. Thanks for sharing this with us and showing me something unique!
Woooah - sum it up. You can: paint parts using brushes, aerograph, poweder coat, you can etch, use electrolysis, plate parts, and apply metallic paint. You can make stickers, laser etch, and wet transfer. You can 3D print parts from resin, cast from metals and plastic, and uh, cut from CDs. You have full paint booth, nice surface to work with and decent camera setup. You're narrating your videos with calm, rich voice, explaining step by step, and building library of how-to videos while sharing your project cars, or other way around, while showing off your projects you're teaching the community how things are done, while also mentioning don'ts, pitfalls and failures. The last part never changed, but you've come long way from start of your channel.
Regular uploads are back! YES!!!
I miss this channel man used to love when I saw a new upload
I miss this channel. Please come back :(
This looks awesome, his skills have improved since I last saw his videos.
It's always so good to watch your work, it is awesome! CD windshield looks marvelous, in line with 80-s and "outrun aesthetics", just as those bigger wheels. I am not doing any restorations myself, but I think that you did right this these decisions. Thank you for all you hard work and I am so glad you returned! =)
Oh my gosh this is awesome. I love seeing you go for as detailed as possible type projects sometimes.
I watched all your videos like a year ago and i must say you pumped up your restoration game by a lot! this is awesome!
Beautiful work! I like the CD windshield.
Love it! so glad you are back. best videos to watch while eating a snack.
Love this! The tweaks you added, like the windscreen... brilliant.
Wow, what a stunning car. Your restoration really brought it back to life, amazing work!
Long live the king. Incredible work on display here....
I loved your approach to advertising subscribing through an etching tutorial, the best way I've come across yet!
Outstanding! Nice to have you back! What a cool car!
That is VERY good looking. Outstanding job on this one!
*WHEELS ARE PERFECT, FRONT AND REAR!* ...not mentioning the painting, great job! 👏👏👏
My favorite thing about Aircraft® brand paint stripper is the big warning on the label: NOT FOR USE ON AIRCRAFT. The car came out amazing, particularly given what a state it was in at the start, but I think you're right that the wheels are too big. In the comparison shot, the restored one looks like it's in some kind of spurious "off-road" mode like they always used to give supercars in TV shows in the '80s and '90s. :)
I will have to say, I really enjoy your videos. You are always improving your skills, like the photo etch. You have inspired me in a lot a ways in hobby world. Thanks for taking the time to share what you have learned on the way.
Excellent video. Always top quality in your videos and always in depth. They are chill and fun to watch. Keep on going.
Awesome final result. Thanks for the quick photo-etch primer.
This is honestly my favorite video you’ve put out yet!
Awesome car. Once again, it's great to have you back.
Glad to see you back at it! You really show some cool tricks that I will eventually try with my own remakes.
This was awesome, you inspired me to customize my own cars
I love your videos you hadn't uploaded in a while but one of ur newer vids got in my recommended great to see your back
Oh man, I've missed these videos, so great to have you back! :)
Man I just LOVE how this guy does WHATEVER he wants. So friggin awesome man
The video flew by, enjoyed it start to finish 😊 great job thank you 👍
What an awesome build. It turned out amazing my friend.
The gun metal grey looks so awesome ! Great to have a new video after a long day at work !
It looks great! Thanks for sharing this great restoration.
Excellent video! You're back in form!
This car is a legend in car history. Love your reconditioning of toys.
Wow Zack, this is a beautiful car! Super job! I can’t complain about any of the elements, I like them all: the tires and hubs, the windshield, the paint, the satin finish. - so cool.
Man you're amazing. You've taken things that like 95% of people would throw in the trash and turned them into something 100% of people would love to own. Even if you don't like toys or cars you can appreciate the amount of skill and effort it self and makes the item worthy of a place in any home.
Love watching you work. Have learned a lot about different techniques I use in my own hobby
All is looking well, I'd would prefer proportional wheels...otherwise the restoration looks fab!
Wow, very interesting build especially with all the extra processes.....well done!
This is otherworldly! Amazing skills and outstanding effect!
What a beautiful build and what a beautiful selection of color. You are right, the wheels on the front need to be resized and made a little smaller.
This was an awesome build from start to finish!
Always great to see new tips and tricks But I still love watching you restore a good old Redline. Cheers baremetal.
Hey BM, always enjoy your videos, I gotta make some constructive criticism about the tyres, the ones you printed were far too tall in the sidewall and lacked a very necessary vintage sidewall profile, Modern radials are more flat sides and square to the tread while classic vintage tyres with a racing style to them have the sidewall bow out then taper back inwards to the tread and rim, also that period a small guide ring was moulded into the tyre to help guide a thin white line so popular in Europe back then, tyre profile is VEEEEERY important to keeping things period correct and stand out a LOT to a car guy like me, anyway just my opinion
You're a wizard!! Excellent work.
Thanks for this video. Loved the 3D and comic book backstory.
Looks amazing. I love the stance the tires gave it.
Insane amount of work. The cd effect works so well with this car specifically
I love how that windshield turned out! I was originally expecting you to copy the first windshield and print out a new one that would have been slightly bigger, and just trim it down.
Your uploading fast, Happy to see you've reutned!
It looks great. The CD plastic is in the thick side but it actually looks fine. Great paint job!

it's actually a great job. I also miss your videos dude. Keep up the good work.
Wow, that was one of the best videos you've ever done!
Very cool project; so much effort. I'm happy just doing wheel swaps; this is next level.
that photo etching is pretty cool. Stuff I never thought was quite that easy. I'll definitely keep it in mind as an option in future projects.
I love the CD windshield! awesome restoration! love the backstory also...
As per usual…stunning and original.
King zero by Casey putsch is going to be awesome when it’s done.
I really love your videos. Thank you for sharing them.
Great Work! Awesome windshield remake!
Beatiful work, and the cd rom is a really classy detail
The CD windshield looked amazing! Would love to see a cyberpunk themed build with something like that.
man i could listen to this guy talk for hours on end and not get bored
So very satisfying to watch your videos!!!
For a while there, I was watching a LOT of diecast channels. Now it's just you - others went insane or just stopped. I like your production style and I like your modeling technique. Glad to see you back in the game!
That came out nice! Good job
Lovely restoration!
Excellent restoration! 👏👏👏👏
