    These restoration video's are so satisfying and relaxing. If you are having troubles with falling asleep just watch some before bedtime.
    Works for me everytime!

    One of the nicest classic convertible cars. Simply beautiful. I'm sure that the 'god of little cars' is very happy with this rescue and your great job 👍

    This was the chick car of the late 60's and early 70's particularly with the power hard top. A real riders car heavy and wide, floated down the road. Thanks for sharing this video.

    Best result of all results in my opinion. Beautiful color, beautiful wheels, beautiful details. I want this model.

    A beautiful project! It all wroks together just fine. We keep in mind it is a toy, not a reproduction of a real car, so the proportions are not critical! Great wheels!

    I have the feeling that it did not look as good when it originally came from the factory. Great work.

  • @DEATHLEXIA
    @DEATHLEXIA 4 года назад

    Ievery time i see your stripped and polished castings,that keeping chrome or like brushed steel would also look just awesome, i think its gotta be an 80s kid thing, after seeing the deloreans we can imagine every car in stainless steel lul

  • @michaelpeel9347
    @michaelpeel9347 5 лет назад

    My friends dad had a black T-bird or thunderchicken as we called it, back in the day(mid 80's)
    I like the attention to the little extras, brought back from shabby to shiny but the extra make it catch the eye.

  • @bobfellows5758

  • @andrewphippsphillips1455
    @andrewphippsphillips1455 5 лет назад

    Beautiful little job! Everything down to the front grille has given this a total transformation. Wheels look great. Almost looks like Quagmire's motor from Family Guy, even though I may be wrong (I think his is a Chevy Bel Air cabriolet)

  • @sohamsengupta6470
    @sohamsengupta6470 5 лет назад

    Yep this one's stunning, absolutely perfect colour choice on a really pretty casting. I love the fact that you provide some of the highest quality content in the Diecast community while still using budget friendly tools and materials - goes to prove that it's not the materials but the user that counts, and also gives me hope that I could someday try my hand at this. Truly inspiring.

    You're right about the wheels being oversized. "Toot Tall" is spot on about how the actual car was equipped, but thanks for bringing a toy back "from shabby to shiny."

  • @Tiger351
    @Tiger351 5 лет назад

    Brilliant job on the T-bird Rob, pearl red was absolutely the right choice for this one! Those would probably be 22 inch rims in real life, but the pattern looks spot on for the car.
