    1960's Hubley School Bus Restoration! This Ebay find was pretty rough when I first started, most of the paint had chipped away, the decals were long gone, plenty of rust to deal with, and it had obviously been stomped on at some point which caused it to sit awkwardly to the side. A little sandblasting, some new powder coat paint, reworking of the wheels and axels, a lot of elbow grease, and this restoration is as good as new!

    another delightful restoration. The paintwork is first class, I thought the chrome effect grill as a extra nice touch. I find it incredible how much I love these basic models, the detailing is brilliant. Thank you for another enjoyable video. Initially, I was worried that your work would be drying out but having sneaked at the toys in the background when putting the panels into the oven, there's no need to worry yet, hey?!

    Hey, have you ever experimented with using soapy water to aid in applying non-water-slide stickers? I've had great luck with 95% water, 5% dish soap. Spraying a light coat allows me to move stickers around for a little while to line them up. The biggest one I ever did was a vinyl matte black-out decal on the back of my car that was about 30" x 10".

    If you ever do another one of these with the body posts and peened axle ends, watch pretty much any video from Marty's Matchbox Makeovers. This bus is pretty much the same design as a hot wheels / matchbox, but scaled up. I'm sure his methods for remounting the body and chasis or reusing the axles would work.

    The sandblasting scene was a bit excessive, but hey, it just goes to show you how long it takes to get a nice sandblasted finish for primer/paint.
    Overall, a nicely done restoration. It looks like it could have a plastic interior piece that includes the seats and driver instrumentation, almost like a Tonka vehicle.
    The Super Chrome looks fantastic!
