Thats a great way to pay respect and preserve both the history of the hobby as well as the dreams that filled all our heads as we rushed home with our kits. Thanks for helping me see an old model car as more than just a glue bomb.
Love this! I have a ton of old ebay builds too. It's fun to imagine that the 10 year old kid who built that Corduroy TBird in 1960 and is now a 73 year old guy, watching your video.
Beautiful restorations Gary. I love restoring old built ups and keeping some of the original build. I also see an old Gambler in the background. Thanks for sharing.
Really really cool! I grew up in a mostly Buick family. One of my uncles only drove Rivieras until the early 90’s. He had just about every year up to 1989. Really great to see you preserved model car history. 😎👍🏾
That is some transformation Gary the candy red looks awesome I'm sure the original builder would love it and the blue is beautiful very well done Sir🏆🏆
Model restorations..you that's what I do.. I got a few junk cars that need some love..I have five 57 Chevys that need lots of love..and I'm getting parts as I go along.thanks for sharing Gary.
Nice Gary! Preserving model car history one kit at a time. I'm a sucker for old AMT built ups, clean em up and a fresh paint job and they're ready to roll.
Great resto 👍👍 I'm the youngest of 8 now 66yr old. I've got the model collection of my older brothers. I do the same with their models. I enjoy restoring built cars over building a new kit thanks 👍👍🚗🚚🚙🚘🛵🛻🚛🙏🙏
I cant agree more with how and why your saving them. I love those interiors! The red and blue is outstanding. I've had a few people ask me why I don't strip the entire car when I do a restoration. The reason is exactly like you said "its to preserve the history". Great video and well said. Thanks for sharing.
I get a bigger kick out of doing something with these more than a brand-new kit, email me your addy and I'll send ya a card if you haven't yet, garysmodelcars@yahoo.com thanks!
@@hangingwithmrgseeds Me to, which is why I did my channel like I did. Ive got about 10 rebuilders to do and looking for them all the time lol. Ill shoot you an email in a bit. Thanks!
thanks buddy, did I ask you if I can send you a shop card? I've sent out so many I can't remember who I sent them to, I don't want to miss you, email me your addy if you haven't yet, thanks! garysmodelcars@yahoo.com
Whenever a glue bomb comes into my collection, I do the same thing, see what the builder was trying to do and just clean it up and improve the details. It's amazing just how much dust and dirt these things acquire over the years. To me I'm recycling the build up and restoring where necessary. Sometimes I get ones that are really nice and I leave them alone. Your chioce of colour on the blue one was perfect and the Red one being the original owners vision, I'm sure if he is still around would be thrilled to see it updated.
Very nicely done! I like the colors you used on both. That blue on the 66 is perfect! I like to do the same thing with old builds I aquire. I have a 32 Ford that was done up as a drag car. It had cordouroy interior with about a half inch of dust. Man, did that take a while to clean. I didn't change a thing on it but it took me forever to find an identical front tire and two piece mag wheel to replace the one that was missing.
Your Buick's came really nice --- I'll have to go back into your video's to see what you use to paint them and what kind of paint you use ----- Thank You for sharing ------- Rodney
Very cool idea to save integrity of older builds and bring the to life again! How do you strip old paint off? I’ve used brake fluid bath myself wondering what your technique is. Thanks
As usual I really love the paint jobs on your both Riviera's look awesome love the paint job. I have one question what do you use to strip the paint off of your models
REally love seeing these old builds saved, and in such great fashion! Super paint work Gary! Saving model car history!

Back in the 60s there was alot of cord colors to choose from.if u were like me u prolly had alot of cord Levis too
Very cool idea to save integrity of older builds and bring the to life again! How do you strip old paint off? I’ve used brake fluid bath myself wondering what your technique is. Thanks
Brian, I do use brake fluid, I also sometimes use purple power and let it soak in it for about a week or 2.
As usual I really love the paint jobs on your both Riviera's look awesome love the paint job. I have one question what do you use to strip the paint off of your models
mostly I've been using purple power to strip paint, thanks!
Great restoration! Just wondering what method you use to bring out those faintly moulded emblems. Thanks for sharing.
thanks Alan, I lightly sanded over the emblem after painted then cleared.
Whoa where’d ya get those triple white walls? Very cool
those came from the newer issue of the villa riviera kit, thanks Caleb !
Great video! What type of paint do you use?
automotive paint base coat clear coat on the teal rivi and house of kolor candy red on the 64 rivi, thanks deputy !
