    Still have my MB tow truck from when I was a kid! Great restoration! Brings back a ton of memories!

    I had that one. It came in a set that had 2 USAC type race cars, 2 Ford Gran Prix type race cars, the Race Transport truck, this Tow Truck, and the Cadillac Ambulance. I was so thrilled Christmas of 1966. My first Matchbox cars.
    Didn't look too bad but as usual Paul, you made it look WAY better.

    Did you know Matchbox cars of the era actually placed a spot under the front bumper for the wreck trucks to hook on to? Hot Wheels had the metal hooks that slid into wheel wells. Matchbox had little brackets under the front bumpers. Cool huh?

    So I’m gonna be that guy, no disrespect intended to you, you do amazing work, what if you were to nickel plated the the body and the base/bed and painted it with transparent yellow and transparent green, and put it all back together using the original wheels of course. So you’ll have a “Spectra flame” Matchbox. ????
    Anywho I had to be that guy, I love it, definitely an amazing piece for your collection.
    👍🏻🔥🤘🏻

    Fond memories of my childhood as I had that wrecker. Audio seems better, but I’d still rather hear any background sounds and zero ducking. It’s very distracting. I’m nearly always listening with AirPods, perhaps the reason.

    • @pauly7218
      @pauly7218  4 месяца назад

      I have actually addressed the ducking and I do know what you mean about it being annoying, BUT, this was filmed before the correction. I have about 10 more videos that may show the ducking issue, so please bear with me. I just finished work on a video with all new settings and equipment and I am giddy about the quality!!!

      @pauly7218  4 месяца назад +1

      A loot of stuff is going on, and you will see older videos and even clips old and new as I make transitions. I still have and LOVE my matts!!!!! Bear with me!
