    This looks like an actual, played with toy car.
    Not like the fake, highly distressed and dirtied diecasts that garner millions of views.
    Good for you. I appreciate the authentic honesty.

      Top Drives Pack Openings I feel some of those are brand new things they just stuffed in the mud five minutes before they took a picture for the thumbnail.

    This is what I love about this channel - the fact that you'll do straight-up restorations like this one (brilliant, btw) and then you'll also do cutomisations and dioramas. The variety is what keeps me coming back time after time.

    I believe this is 90s matchbox Ferrari f40.
    Used to have it. Nice to see someone has a passion to restore old toys.

    I would love a nice Ferrari Matchbox casting from back then. This one in particular just looks great and that's before your done. After you finished, WOW. AWESOME JOB AGAIN SIR.

  • @bentandre5524
    @bentandre5524 4 года назад +24

    the windshield looks even better when its in the car...overall the car looks great, think it need slightly bigger wheels. but you really saved it, its looking great

  • @johanvanseijen
    @johanvanseijen 4 года назад +1

    Love the video! Always a treat to see people restoring things. Small tip from my experience using retrobright on old lego. I see many youtubers using bags but found it easier to use small cups that used to hold toppings you can smear on your bread. The reason I prefer this latter process is because you can more easily submerge the part you want to brighten. And you can take it out, inspect the result, with or without a quick rinse, and if you're unhappy easily cover it entirely again. I also feel that this treatment increases the temperature within the cup when exposed to sunlight (on the windowsill), which speeds up the process.

    The end result, a stunning looking F40 Danny. A fantastic job done on it. Yes, it has to be bright red! I can't believe the windows came out looking so good. Cheers.

  • @johnkelley9877
    @johnkelley9877 4 года назад +2

    It looks incredible! I am very impressed with how well the windshield cleaned up andI was surprised to see you were able to remove the yellowing. I have never heard of the paste you used but it really worked well. Simply an outstanding job.

  • @davidbeeson1178
    @davidbeeson1178 4 года назад +5

    That poor Ferrari in the beginning was pretty rough, little did it now it's found its way right into some good hands. I never knew you could do that with the windshields, is a slick thing that you did have to keep that in mind. She turned out beautiful my friend, the red could not be more perfect.

    Great job with your Restoring of The Matchbox F40 Ferrari . Amazing job with the painting and details . and you can now see the windscreen was not broken but it was the windshield wiper. It would have left it Black would have been like the car on Fast & Load.

  • @maximojoe7398

    By far one of the most beautiful and best restoration work i have seen maybe because i love this model danny the wheels..... wonderful even if you say they are not the best option for this particular car, love it, congrats.

  • @johnphilippatos
    @johnphilippatos 4 года назад

    I totally agree with you about red being the only Ferrari colour, but I've seen this model in white, and it still looks badass as hell.
    The only thing I would do more in this project, is letting the windscreen in the sun for quite some more. 3-4 days perhaps. I think the sun's UV rays would have more time to work and the plastic would be even more crystal. Good job!

  • @daverage4729
    @daverage4729 4 года назад +1

    Gorgeous job Danny. Particularly liked the detail work you did on the engine. Very nice indeed. The little details, like the size accurate badge, make all the difference.

  • @BenM-nv6mu
    @BenM-nv6mu 4 года назад +8

    Excellent transformation! The wheels would be better with the Ferrari 5 spokes like the real car had, but no doubt this looks superb Sir. I know its been said about it having possibly bigger wheels, but that is the same with the real car - the wheels look slightly undersized - so i think you got it spot on there. The paint finish is definitely top drawer! Peace and respect, Ben

  • @raymonde4272
    @raymonde4272 4 года назад +1

    A superb restoration of one of the best Ferraris of the 1980's. It even overshadowed the 288 GTO which it was the starting point of it's development.

  • @RoadRunnergarage8570
