    This may be off topic. But I suffer from anxiety and depression. I love your restoration videos, they really do relax me and gives me an appreciation for the small things in life. Your videos are very helpful for relaxing me as well as being fun and light hearted content. What I'm saying is thank you very much... Your a legend.! Love and respect! 🤗

      Sorry to say but "anxiety" is just what happens when truth is near.
      Instead or running to your usual escapes, sit still and quite and let the truth catch up.
      True peace and joy.
      Yes the truth hurts but it's worth it.
      Good luck

You really did an excellent job of the restoration and you saved the model after the paint melted the suspension tab. Great sheet plastic work too! Thanks for sharing this.

    Hi Marty. Hello from Germany. Early afternoon over here, and i just enjoyed your new makeover. Good work! So much problems, but you made it and brought this 53year old Mustang back to life. Nice idea to keep the painting details more to the original. Imo it saves the charme and attraction of these old toys.
    You used plastic glue from Revell, a german company. They produce plastic scale model-kits. In my childhood days, middle of the 70's, i made a lot of them. Revell, Airfix and at least Matchbox. Thank you for another fantastic video. Keep up your good work.

      modelling companies like AMT and Revell still use vacuum metalizing for their chrome trees. once you've got the machine, it's a cheap process to add chrome to plastic.

    Great work Marty! Yes, it took longer than expected, but the final result looks just like the one I've had for over 35 years, that's in very good condition. It was part of my grandmother's Christmas decorations and by the time I got it, it wasn't a toy to me, but a keepsake. In fact, you've restored quite a few of the Matchbox cars I got from Grandma; the Lomas Ambulance, the Greyhound bus, the Denver fire truck, and at least 11 other models. The Lomas Ambulance restoration was the first video of yours that I saw, and I was hooked.

    This was one of my favourite models and I seem to think that the radiator grille was white. In my child mind the steering tab was a machine gun (influenced by a Mr Bond) that the driver used to shoot any of his enemies in a drive past or as they overtook him.

    I know you hit quite a few snags with this resto, but you brought back such childhood memories. This was one of my favorite toy cars as a child (the other was a HW red spectraflame '67 Camaro). I had this exact model, the white w/ red interior. Your ingenuity over adversity really shown thru in this build. It's amazing how a child can paint over the whole car twice, once with red, then yellow enamel paint & nothing happens. But you try to restore the car & the paint shrivels up the suspension piece. I guess the innocence of child creativity can suspend such things as chemical reactions and the laws of thermodynamics. lol.
    Enjoy your videos, as always Marty. Keep up the fun!
