Color - top notch. Lot of us that had these new really like the spinning fins, so that's a tough one to see, but it looks just amazing!
Well done with this one. Just needs a decal on the front.
So very cool. Perfect combinarion of colors and washes. The driver is amazing. I'm not sure why but I always like to see the blemishes under a beautiful paint job. It just looks cool for some reason. The underside and turbo fans look very sweet too. A true gem. Go Speed Racer Go!
Thankyou :) Yes i really like how the blemishes show through I think it really makes the look of the car.
I had this one if i was a kid. i was born in 66, so i think it was 1975... Great Job.
Great job! Loved the Rolamatics, despite the goofiness of some of the gimmicks. They had character. I had the purple 'Piston Popper', a gorgeous metallic purple mustang. Them's were the days! :)
This looks phenomenal, great job
Great video but I'm kinda disappointed that you didn't keep the spinning blades
Yeah they kind of barely spun round anyway and I would have had to glue little tabs onto the new wheels. If i had glued on twice as many as the original wheels they may have spun smoother but I think it would have been a bit messy to glue the tabs on strong enough that they wouldn't just break off. I did keep the original tabbed wheels tho so it could always be changed back.
What a precious job, boss!
I used to restore my cars when I was a kid/teen and you brought me so many memories with your videos. Now I want to get old little wrecked cars and give them a new life. Shame the hobby does not fit my daily schedule because I die to do ir right now!!!
If I come back to restoration, you can be sure that you have a lot to do with it.
Keep the nice job, keep inspiring people.
Kind regards from Spain!
Absolutely outstanding !!!!
Thanks mate :)
This looks like something that would race against Speed Racers Mach V
Very nice work , awesome paint . Mike Espo...
Great job! My Rolamatics is the no. 20 police SUV with rotator beacon
I have a few but not that one yet.
Danny, the marathon watching session continues. This redo was GREAT ... I really like the candy fade two tone paint job. It makes the Fury a stunner.
Keep up the terrific job you always do.
Lets see a video of your collection.
It came out super cool, I like how it looks a little race worn and also looks like a car from the Speed Racer cartoon.
I like the way the grime has been added for realism.
Excellent build!!
Well, your work is awesome, even if I don't like the car, but what makes the car good is the driver which you have restored. Nice job 👍
Top notch, mate
Beautiful work
My brother and I had these 'Rolamatics' and almost every one, other than the 'Badger' with it's Radar scanner, which made sense, the gimmick got old real quick, so we used to snip the tabs off the tyres, so at least they would run properly.
Your custom is awesome! It now looks like something from the anime 'Speed Racer'. Nice one.
Yes most of them are pretty hilarious, particularly the poor bugger bouncing up and down in the beach buggy. The turbines on this only went round in little spurts, hardly a fury.
Detail on driver is sick... What a paint job too.
nice job danny
Very nice love the outcome :) that orange is fire :D
Nice custom job. Looks awesome.
Love the less common vehicle restorations.
I had this one as a kid. Great customization! I like how you bring scale modelling tricks to die casts.
Love it!
With today's great glues and epoxys I think you might have been able to attach a tab on the new rear wheels to keep the turbo fins working. But it does make for an awesome display. Awesome job! I had one as a kid.
That is impressive! I especially like the new wheels and the painted driver.
Love the two toned colours on this. Another great makeover.
Love the paint,great job Danny!
Graat custom restoration, never saw this casting before.This would make an awesome mad max / gaslands / dark future build.
My favorite so far. Love that you let some of the blemishes peek through. Gives it real character.
Yeah i like how they come through as well. Gives it a nice old kind of metally look.
Growing up in the 70s this and the Shark were real way out fantasy design,,,I worked next to Wolfrace wheels and they made a similar funky fantasy vehicle with twin Rover V8's,,back then Style was about being full on,,Hotwheels made the way out fantasy States cars and Matchbox with our own UK interpretation,,,,a wonderful bit of history,,,fantasy car wise this and the shark are 2 I'd like to do in various colours,,metallic purple,gold and so on,,Thanx for a great vid,,,
Looks great Danny, nice restore!...Bill
Top job Danny, looks like it came straight out of Seed Racer! Brilliant idea to go with the heat discolouration on the turbos.
Superb job Danny! ...nice detailing and paintwork👍
Manufacturer of brilliantly detailed, realistic models, Matchbox truly lost their way in the '70s.
I see matchbox are moving again towards fictional, unrealistic models.
reminds me of the Batmobile, great result =)
This would make a great Batmobile conversion.
I love it
Bonjour comme toujours très belle restauration superbe à la prochaine🚘🚖🚚👍❤
That driver though! Such detail! I'd watch the video of you painting just that. Nice work, sir!
Top notch custom job. The details really made this a show piece for any collector.
Magnifique travail !!!!
Très belle réalisation ! Bravo Danny !
Beautiful work !!!!
Very nice achievement ! Well done Danny !
Loads better Danny , excellent work .
All the best
Sweet job! :-) Looks really fantastic!
Great result. It is awesome
Great job Danny, looks fantastic 👍
Looks great Danny. You really have a good eye for the details. The added wash over the wheels really works well. Might have to borrow that idea for my own works :D
Looks good Danny
That is one awesome work look
Better from factory that wheel look great color too ill have same car bought in 70s still got it i wish it could like that nice work
you made it look interesting !
8U that pilots details are just crazy.
I have a few of these models and never appreciated how they could look so cool. Great job mate
looks like a dangerous vehicle now
I have this one. Something about it always reminded me of that Twilight Zone episode where the guy goes to the Future or pretends to do so and brings good news back to the present. It is that good news that actually induces a positive future. I think it was the 80s Twilight Zone series. The little man in the machine I think is what reminds me of it
I love the Rolomatic series, as I have had a few over the years, and this was cool because I have never seen this model. Just a little upset that you didn't keep the car true to its form for that reason but I can't argue with how cool those wheels look! I love the effect to the rear, reminds me of how chrome headers will turn when they get hot, and I love the attention you gave to the driver. Keep up the good work!
The candy paint job with the natural defects in the middle of make it look particularly well done now some waterslides to give at that race effect 😋
Yeah i really like the metal defects showing through. Makes it look old. I contemplated putting a decal on the bonnet for half a day but it would have not been as smooth and I decided against it.
kool , thanx...look out Speed Racer....Nice work
Robert
The mag wheels really make this model!
I have that one , but it’s green . Somewhere in my storage 🥰🥰🥰
Great job, would make a cool Mad Max vehicle!!
I wasn't really liking the direction you were going with in the beginning but in the end it came out so great. It reminds me of the outlandish racing cars from the Speed Racer cartoons.
Que curvas lindas desse carro, tive ele quando tinha uns cinco anos. Ficou muito legal
👍
Damn I had one of these but it had one fan on the rear deck lid in red
Another slamming video I like your weathering technique gonna try it myself keep up the good work ✌🏿🤟🏾🖖🏾👌🏾🇬🇧
you could make this into a custom mach 5 type car I bet it looks like it'd fit the bill with its design flairs. That would be a cool video, something mach 5 themed. perhaps your own take on what a racer you would make would look like? Just a suggestion. Keep up the great work Daniel, cheers mate.
Wow I love you're work, nice to watch, but I must say I prefer original looking restoration, I'll think it would be allot more worth,, but you doing a great job really,
Been something of a restoration production line recently... =)
Had never even heard of Rola-Matics until I'd seen this..
69 nice
batmobile tim burton? Cool...
Lighter orange on the back would have suggested heat fading
You made it look more realistic with the hand painted detail and a good choice of wheels. Nice one Danny.
Hello Danny, once again you've transformed an ugly duckling into a swan, would have been interesting if you had managed to make the turbo fans function with the replacement wheels, but it does look as if it's ready to race in the classic 1975'ish film Death Race 2000. I would love to have been in the Matchbox board room when the designers came up with some really weird ideas, wonder what Lesley Smith and Jack Odell thought?
Great!
I like this casting, and picked one up recently, as I'm starting to amass future victim cars to work on! Cheers
Nice customizing, but the paint looks a little "dirty"? Did you gave the car a blackwash? or is this a result of the casting?
That's just the colors of the casting coming through. I like the effect.
nice, i've restored and customed loads of turbo furys and got a pile more to work on. I've been watching your vids for a few weeks and only just realised you're a local, are you in any of the nz diecast groups?
Hey, nah not in any groups mate. I actually got a mint TF yesterday. They look much cooler customized tho, makes much more of the casting I think.
I've got a boxed mint one too. this is my ig if you're interested

Awesome work bud!
Call me nuts, but I would have been so tempted to turn this into a "Batmobile" prototype that the Dark Knight would have tried before going over to the jet engine.
P.S. Just scrolled some of the other comments and see a lot of people had the same idea as myself. lol
The driver is now a ginger bloke with an afro
marc h I don’t think that’s an Afro, it’s his helmet. Remember he’s a racer,I think the helmet would be better than a Afro. LOL
The Testosterone is dripping out of that No.69 Turbo Fury!!! 💪🏼😂💯👍🏼
First and i love you vid 😄😄😄😄😄😄😉
Great job. But, one question...you work as graves digger? Nice nails pal
Do you work as an asshole? There seems to be sh#t leaking out of your mouth.
spend a lot of time in a workshop and see what happens to your nails Einstein
And the number 69?
Nice job but some parts of the casting could have done with some sanding.
it looks like 20 people got chewed up in the car's turbofans
I don't see how that's possible after he DISABLED THEM...
How much do you sell them for? If you sell them?
no seas buey carnal, lo hubieras dejado como salió original de fabricaaaaaa¡¡!! …
You would be amazed what a fingernail brush would do for the look of your hands! Good video better with cleaner looking hands!
You would be amazed what a hairbrush applied to your backside as a child would do for your attitude and lack of manners. There is an old saying that used to be taught by good parents that says "If you can't say anything nice to or about someone then don't say anything at all." So do the world a favor and shut up. Oh BTW nice job of creating a fake account to comment from because you are too chickensh1t to use your regular account and name.
I have two Rola-Matics, both Clippers, and both customs: www.deviantart.com/hectordefendi-light/art/Custom-Matchbox-Clipper-No-1-797246120 and www.deviantart.com/hectordefendi-light/art/Custom-Matchbox-Clipper-No-2-798143135
My girlfriend just told me you could make a fortune painting woman's nails.
She might be right, girls pay a rediculous amount of money for that...
As long as they don't end up looking like my nails ..
Lol What a waste of his amazing talents though. Die-casts > Nails
Eh, can't say I like this one. The colors just don't look good to me. You did a good job painting the little driver, and while I understand why you didn't make the engines spin, it kind of fails to restore it as a result.
Life could be easier with some self tapping screws.
?sorry it was fine before
you could done it white and custom make Speed Racer MACH 10
Is anyone else sad the turbines don't turn anymore?
RUINED
It's not a restoration, but he could have done a better job on the casting. The finish was pretty horrible.
@@truantray Yep, the paint is blotchy and I don't know why he painted those sweet chrome mags black!
Just leave "restoration" out of the title, since you took away the model's charm and features that made it unique and gave it more "dark wash and metallic weathering powder", which you seem to love and use all the time even if it's not called for. You even left out the decal. I stopped the video six minutes early to go watch some of Marty's videos.
I know it seems like I'm ripping a bit hard, it's just some of us want honest restoration work every now and then. You have potential if you'd stop overthinking it. My turning away point was when you took out the special feature in the wheels. This will disappoint people who had this model as kids.
There's plenty of channels that do original style restorations. Not everyone wants to see the same thing.
Also I fail to understand how taking an old toy that no body cared about, that there are literal hundreds of thousands of examples of, and making a customized car out of it that thousands of people get to see and enjoy somehow makes it less unique.
@@DannysDiecastDisasters Maybe I was being too harsh, I don't know. Tone doesn't come across too well when you're typing. I just felt like the model deserved a straight restoration, keeping it's turbine gimmick and nifty 80s-styled decal. Maybe I'm more of a fan of customizers like Marty who do straight-up restos, keeping the models how they looked right from the factory.
