They did the body styles great, But the Mach 5 was Frost White, Matador Red and Chrome Yellow,. But they are a great find. Polish up the bare ones like you do and display them proud

FYI the reason why villains were after the Mach 5 was because of the blue prints of the Mach 5 which was etched in it’s windshield you couldn’t see it with the naked eye it was only seen with a special light .

Dude ya make me wish I had held on to that Captain Terror LOL! Actually I think its an awesome set! and glad that you went for all 4 in the series. I hate that your Snake Oiler has a missing wheel cap but maybe you could do a wheel swap on it 1st, that way if they all have similar rivets/posts then you could get a chance to repair your car that has a missing tire and get a feel for what taking one of these apart is like.. then you could hook up Capt. Terror ;) Awesome vid bro!

Although I'm not that picky when it comes to renditions of the Mach 5 I was a 5 yr old glued to the Tv when this came out I didn't care how it was dubbed I watched it intently and have mega chargers of this but have yet to find Johnny lightnings like this VERY COOL except for the Mach 5 doesn't have a front hood it's a rear engined rear drive car lol don't ask me how Spridle and Chim Chim didn't get burned when stowing away in the trunk/engine bay I didn't care I just loved the show I have all 52 episodes now as a grown lol old man guilty pleasures!! Another cool fact the Mach 5 has oxygen bottles in the engine bay right next to the mufflers for when the Mach 5 must change into a submarine!! LOL

As the Speed Racer expert, the later Johnny Lightning castings are nearly perfect to the show. There was a run where the Mach 5 didn't have headlights and some runs had an orange interior which was... odd, but it was interesting. The BEST and most accurate casting of the Mach 5 is the Japan-only Hot Wheels CW-Collectors Edition Mach 5 that has the blue belly (of which I have 2, I've got a massive Speed Racer collection). Because upon further inspection of high-res screens of the original show, the Mach 5, when drawn with a lot of detail (so, not in action shots) actually has this blue/grey paint halfway down the car instead of being solid white.

actually I think snake oil and captain terror are antagonist i think. Racer X is Speed Racer's brother who for some reason is hiding from his dad i think out of shame or because their dad didn't want him racing again.

The bare metal ones are just begging for your customization. Let's see you crack them open, polish them to a high gloss, and go to town. I would love to see some replacement wheels. They seem like the weakest link in terms of looks.

I don't understand your comment on the hood of the Mach 5. It's clearly sitting above flush at the front tip and also clearly the rear is a bit under flush. both bare metal and painted examples your showing suffer from the same poor fit. I hate to disagree, but watching your vid here it's obvious. Sorry. I do really enjoy your vids and restorations.
