Ripper job Martin, looks great and well done not snapping the lake pipes off. Thank you for being such a great support for me from the beginning, I’ve learnt so much from watching your videos.
Thanks Peter, I have enjoyed watching your videos, this was the 1st time that I have clear coated my decals, for the same reason risk of damage, but these needed doing as thay didn't look smooth to start with .
Did U break pipes off PB?
This one was a fun build, hopefully I can find one to try, good job, love the longer videos too...😊

That's a beautiful restoration Martin, the yellow looks perfect. I'm impressed with that silver chrome spray paint, I'll look out for that and give it a try. Another very enjoyable video, your restoration work is superb as always. Best wishes. Peter.

Great result, Martin! Did this one in black, a couple of years ago. That engine and exhaust pipes are pretty tricky to get out.
Thanks Jhoun,yes I really didn't want to break the pipes, it's a nice casting 👍 all the best Martin
Hi Martin lovely job that. The gloss on the paint and decals looks great. A worthy resto for Peter from pb retro Restorations. One of my guitars a Fender Stratocasters Fender logo decal on the head stock was damaged and a bit of the decal pealed off. It really bugged me so after a bit of research on eBay I found a replacement decal. I found out that my guitar witch is what they call a reissue a new guitar made to be exactly as a 1956 model would be if you went back in time and bought one. I found out that the early 50s Strats only had the decal put on the head stock and no clear put over the top, so sometimes if they get wet witch I think mine did once the decal can come off. Luckily the replacement decal was spot on and I just put it over the top of the old one keeping it in the perfect position. It turned out great you would never know. The yellow colour and the decals on this Corvette reminded me of a car in my brothers crash repairs. A bloke came in with an old mechanically fixed up but very scruffy looking Datsun 120Y and wanted us to paint it bright cannery yellow. He told us latter he had terminal cancer and wanted the car done up for his wife. He had a mischievous look in his eye and asked us to put a large daisy flower decal on the front bonnet just to torment his wife who's nickname was Daisy. So we did all the work and amazingly she loved it.😂😂 Catch you on the next one mate.👍🏻
Thanks Geoff, well you did well with the replacement decal for your guitar it's always a tricky moment with reproduction parts .
I like the daisy story that's great.
All the best Martin
Very cool.😎
Thanks very much my friend its really appreciated
Holding my breath during that side pipes removal...whew! Another great restoration, Martin! I know some of Corgi's race cars were actually based on real life race cars, so I wonder if this one was.
Thanks very much, my friend. It was a tense few minutes of removing those pipes. Maybe they are based it on the moon eyed dragster, all the best Martin
I held my breath the entire time you were trying to remove THAT piece from the body. (You know which one I'm talking about right? :) )
🤣 so was I. It was a bit tricky. You never know when it's going to snap
Luckily, you were not subjected to a load of obscene language🤣.,
Great job pal if I may one word of caution on one model I made I shot lacquer on a set of water slide decals and they reacted and went crinkley and ruined them thought it was just worth mentioning
Nigel, I just had this happen to me. I don’t know what it is, I use the same clear coat I always do, but this time it crinkled the decals, that I admittedly got from a bloke I don’t normally get them from.
Thanks nigel this is the 1st time that I have clear coated my decals for that very reason so iam on the same page my friend
🤗👍👏💯
Thanks very much my friend
@@martindaredare welcome, my dear Friend 👌 great job!
Not for me anymore as it hails from across the Pond, but I do remember having a stock red one in a previous life. I agree with you on the chromed centre section combined bumper - it is quite unsatisfactory, like the newer Corgi Impalas and the Toronados, but I suppose they were toys first. Great colour choice - Inca Yellow is a great, deep, full-bodied colour: I cannot be doing with insipid yellows that look a bit washed out. I'd have been tempted to just snip the intake/exhaust moldings - the glue join would have been invisible in the final build.
I always thought to graphics on Corgis to be a bit poor, like there was no one really took an interest in the design: these dragstrip cars would have had wilder, tidier, more elaborate big graphics, and a load of smaller sub-sponsor stickers. The black on blue roundels are just plain wrong. Rant over - really nice job on it, Martin, so congratulations again!
Thanks, Fraser. I agree about insipid colours, and plastic chrome pieces do nothing for me , all the best Martin
37:10 Soak them in boiling water and them use Bug and Tar remover on them, they will slowly return.
OK Garry thanks for the tip 👍
All the best Martin
Great restoration Martin, so where do you get the square corgi tyres from? Is it flowers?
Hi Craig, Yes, he does sell them .
Thanks for watching my friend
Beautiful restoration Martin looks amazing well done 👍.
Thanks very much, Adrian. I'm glad you enjoyed it
