    The front mudguards made out of plastic wheels was a stroke of genius!

    Danny great job with your Customizing and Restoring work on that Matchbox Lotus Super 7 Awsome paintjob and detail work and great job Racing it at the Nordschleife .

    Looks so much better like this; the originals had a kinda "go-kart" look about them. That was a clever trick, making the front arches out of wheels and painting the windscreen surround made a huge difference. Nice decals too, just finish it off perfectly.👍👌😁

    @notdonaldst Před 3 lety +1

    I’m super impressed with this customization Danny. All of the details are impressive. Good job 👍. Thanks for posting the video.

    Wow, that's one of your best Danny!...wouldn't be at all surprised to see Matchbox doing a new version along similar lines in the near future...make sure they give you a cut!...great work fella!

    Now that's a pretty good looking car. Well done mate! Well done! 👍

    Another informative and exciting video. Love the end product and attention to detail with the seatsbelts and rim around the windscreen. It looks awesome.

  • @teee4532
    @teee4532 Před 3 lety +1

    Looks incredible Danny! It looks so much better than its original start. Have a great rest of your weekend

  • @brianartillery
    @brianartillery Před 3 lety +1

    Looks absolutely beautiful! Not the most comfortable car though - I had a friend who had a Lotus Super 7 in the early 1980's, and the seats were basically, Land Rover seat squabs. That, and the firm suspension, meant that you felt every bump in the road. One small thing, as well: here, in the UK, 'Caterham' is said, generally as 'KAYTER-UM', in yet another example of English words written one way, and said another. It's almost as if we do it deliberately...🤔😆😆😆

  • @BulletNoseBetty
    @BulletNoseBetty Před 3 lety

    I'd like to say you did a great job, but this turned out even better! It used to be a child's toy, but now it's a fine quality scale model.

  • @daverage4729
    @daverage4729 Před 3 lety

    By far one of my all time favourite cares. I remember the Green and Yellow Lotus Patrick McGoohan always drove at the start of 'The Prisoner'. Gorgeous car! I'd even risk freezing to death if it meant driving round in this beauty.

    Like how you build those front fenders from HW wheels and that exhaust looks great as well as wheels.
    Very nice decals and detailing.

    @arronjones6985 Před 3 lety

    Absolutely love this one Danny. Obviously saw what it looked like in the thumbnail but didn't expect it to look like it did originally. Great work. Little bit of criticism tho. You are saying Caterham wrong. As a brit we say it as "cate erum" if that makes sense? Great video tho. 👍

  • @andrewdrabble8939
    @andrewdrabble8939 Před 3 lety

    Lovely job. It's not Caterham as in the animal but as in catering and the 'H' is silent

  • @theforthdoctor7872
    @theforthdoctor7872 Před 3 lety +1

    In the UK we pronounce caterham as if it rymes with catering.

  • @everettmonroe3416
    @everettmonroe3416 Před 3 lety +1

    That's some outstanding work and detailing. Your decals, do you sell them? I'm always looking for some good 64 scale decals for America made rods. Thanks for sharing your experience

    • @DannysDiecastDisasters
      @DannysDiecastDisasters  Před 3 lety +1

      I just print my own decals and I don't feel they are of high enough quality to sell. I post the decal designs on my Patreon tho so you can print your own. I am in the process of uploading more when I have free time.

  • @t.j.lemaster8653
    @t.j.lemaster8653 Před 3 lety

    Awesome build man... only problem was Matchbox must have had a misprint on the interior tubs the steering wheel was on the wrong side ! 🤔 lol

    • @DannysDiecastDisasters

      Britan like here has right hand drive. I think you can get both.

      @t.j.lemaster8653 Před 3 lety

      Oh I know I was just joking I had a friend that was from the UK and I always joke and say that Americans put the steering wheel on the wrong side

  • @lotharrenz4621
    @lotharrenz4621 Před 3 lety

    I somehow never liked this casting... now I know, why: the front fenders looked wrong.
    lovely details all around, great colour and decals, and proper wheels make it look like it should have. :)
    what engines did you put into the games' racers? looks like a Ford Kent 1600 to me; I think there is even a race series around those engines.
