    I think the quality of the finish itself is stunning. Personally, I think I'd have preferred a darker, more saturated shade of red for the final colour as to my eye that shade appears orange - but still, beautiful overall.

      Agreed it looks extremely orange on camera, but maybe it’s more of a red irl

    • @lancerevell5979
      @lancerevell5979 Před 4 lety

      I like the orange shade. Unusual and beautiful. The contrasting matte black is a great touch too.

    Nice looking paint. Not crazy about the orange-ish color. The deep red of the photo prototype car looks really nice IMO

      he DID paint it red, the new paint is polyurethane trash and should not be used. i would go to an automotive store and get a little can of lacquer spraypaint and mix my own colors and not use hot wheels crap paint

    Quite possibly the most beautiful diecast resto I've ever seen (I kinda liked the whitewall tires but still awesome). Wow. The green/orange one was my favorite matchbox as a kid and yes, I think the color was intended to grab a kid's attention. I remember picking it out from the revolving case and getting the Matchbox box with the car inside. Those SuperFast Matchbox cars were the cadillac of diecast! Thanks for the awesome vid and the great memories it brought back.

    This car turned out so great, i love Lesney cars, i really enjoyed the process of learning about their history, I personally really like the look of the original matchbox wheels and that is probably the only thing i would have done differently. Most people will like it the way you have done it, those wheels look awesome too. Good job.

    I have mine from when I was a kid. It needs some work, so you posted this at the right time. Thanks.

    My parents took their 25th anniversary trip in 1971 and brought back a multi-car pack that had this, the Ford Group VI (green), a Ferrari 512 (?) (red), a Lotus Europa (pinkish-purple), and one other I can't recall. So your surmise of early 70's is spot-on. Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd then I see the copyright 1970 on the car bottom.

  • @He-Man_Master_of_the_Universe

    This was one of my favorite cars in my childhood! Love to seen it again! Thanks for this video.

  • @michaellong9799
    @michaellong9799 Před 2 lety

    I had this car as a kid in the 70s and 80s. It was my dads favorite and one of my favorites. It was the fastest car I had on the orange hot wheels track. Sold all my cars in the late 90s, regret it all the time.

    Looks great! I love that the Redline shop strives to come up with better methods to achieve great / better restorations! You are still & will always be my favorite 1/64 scale restoration Go to! Thanks again!

  • @johnkelley9877
    @johnkelley9877 Před 4 lety

    I like the paint and the car looks great. I can't believe how nice it turned out and it looks closer to the real car now then it originally did.

  • @randynovick7972

    @thewhamji Před 4 lety +1

    Why this was in my recommendations is beyond me. But I still watched it for some reason. And actually watched the entire thing lol. Sometimes it's fun to just say F it, and watch a random recommendation. Nice video btw. Car turned out great

  • @NHfiddle
    @NHfiddle Před 4 lety

    Wow!!! It looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor, fantastic. And the wheels and tires make it pop even more. It looks so real that I want to get in it and drive it on a track. Love your channel, haven't missed a video yet.

  • @westonward735
    @westonward735 Před 4 lety +7

    It certainly gives a person another direction in which to go, paint wise. I would have thought a polished body would have given the best shine. I see the logic of the crystals and the reflection of light off them. Like most things in life, it's never as simple as it looks.

  • @mg0lding
    @mg0lding Před 4 lety +4

    @k.n.o.3558 Před 4 lety +1

    It ended up looking great! I never liked these cars as a kid in the 70s, but now I think they are awesome. I like the 'tube technique' for the axles, and the tires look great overall. 😎

  • @VibinBryan
    @VibinBryan Před 4 lety

    i gave away all my cars some years ago when we moved. i wish i still had mine just to see how rough the shape i put them in is lol but they went to a new home of a kid whos probably beating the shit out of em too lol cool to see you restore cars i used to play with.

  • @stephenprange9427
    @stephenprange9427 Před 4 lety

    You did a fantastic transformation on this car. Its almost doesn't look like the original you started with. This car reminds me of a car that was used in an episode of Speed Racer. I believe they made a diecast of it when they release all the speed racer cars back when the movie came out.

    I remember owning this car. I loved the looks of the Matchbox cars. Plus some had suspension. I loved the look of this one. Sadly I lost it and I've never found a replacement. Well one that was cheap enough. Beautiful car though.

    I have the MPC plastic model of this car, it's not completed though. My jaw dropped when I saw this video, I just went and checked my version and it's dark orange with a black bottom and chrome bits. If I had the time and the glue...I'd add a Back To The Future mod to it! Can you imagine a BTTF mod for every kind of model car? Why reserve it for just Deloreans? I think a whole bunch of different cars made up like that would be a laugh-fest! LMAO!!!

    I love these cars and have 4 or 5 of them myself waiting to restore. Thank you for the inspiration as always! I do like the way this one looks with the new wheels and paint method. I agree it hides metal flaws better but your "usual" method of zinc plating with straight spectra flame over it does the job very well.

    Late 70's,if I'm not mistaken.
    Because I HAVE IT!!!
    It's one of the few cars from my childhood that I kept.
    The rest,& most of which,I gave away when I was clearing out cupboards (for which I could repeatedly kick myself to infinity!).😩😢
    My mom used to buy 1 a week,or so,for me since I was about 3.
    I must have gotten this when I was about 4,which was in 1978.
    Oh,how I miss those days.
    If only I had a Time Machine!😔
    After seeing the year on the base,I could be totally wrong.
    But I did get mine in '78,same colour & everything.
    Just checked my old stash.
    Seems I remembered completely wrong,because IT'S GONE!
    Looks like I gave it away after all.
    I really do need to kick myself now!

    Man, what a beautiful car, I'm surprised I'd never heard of it before this vid. While the model came out spectacularly, I honestly think the whitewall side of the tires would've looked better...then again, I'm one of those crazies who think whitewalls make any vintage car look better.
