Very good build there buddy I love the Rolls-Royce big fan have a few in my collection keep up the good work thanks for tips and everything and God bless
Great job. I recently took up restoring Hot Wheels and Matchbox die casts and am really enjoying it. Between Marty's Matchbox Makeovers, baremetalhw, and Diecast Resurrection, there is a lot of good information out there that makes this hobby very enjoyable. Looking forward to your next video.
Excellent video - great overview of the entire process - I appreciate the tricks and tips. Please do some more Matchbox restorations. Thank you from one Paul to another.
Thank you so much for the comment. I really wasn't sure how it would be received. I was also concerned about the length, but this car had a lot of challenges I couldn't just gloss over. Any other feedback would be appreciated. Incidentally, Clear coat is curing on my next build - Mercedes convertible!
Pauly, that looks awesome! I have been building mostly 1/25 scale plastic kits off and on for over 55 years. About 25 years ago I started customizing my son's Matchbox and Hot Wheels cars. Now that I see more guys doing it on UA-cam, and the repro parts available, I'm going to get back into it. You did a great job in all the areas of this restoration. I hope to see more!
Awesome work,,,I went in one of these as a friend was fitting water injection kits on them here in UK to prevent detonation,,what a ride,,,back to the models a perfect 10 score from here in the UK,,,,Have a great week,,,
pauly7218,,, My pleasure,,, I went in 1980 to the Rolls factory in Willesden for an interview to work for them and failed,,also we would in the 70s see the Rolls Phantom chassis being driven down from Crewe on the main roads with no shell,,the drivers wore long brown coats and fighter goggles with pilot gloves,even back then it looked dated,,,not far from there was the Vanden Plas factory in Kingsbury where the various Vanden Plas were put together another Matchbox/Lesney car the MG 1100 was made there as a Vanden Plastic version,,,,,,will look at more of your great vid's,,, Cheers,
I have been stockn up on materials to do restorations/ customs myself. In not there yet but hopefully soon. I still need a compresser, i have one pucked out. Airlines and a bit/ fitting for my new badger airbrush to increase the thread size . Also paints a pin vise, a center punch & dental picks. Oh yeah all the necessary stuff to zink plating. Its surprising all of the little things needed to do restorations. Great tip using plyers instead of grinding the axle!
You will love doing this. Squeezing the end doesn't work every time, but if I have a short axle I will always try this first.... Thanks for watching...
Great work on restore, very basic info on restoring, which is awesome for newbies, mentioning axle has a smaller end, would have been nice, pledge floor wax does a nice job on windows as well, painting self tapping screw like marty, would have been a nice touch, using a self tapping screw on tab on front grill was an option. I really enjoyed watching this video, and would like to watch more of your restore videos of hotwheels and matchbox
Thanks for watching and the great great comments! I actually use pledge for a lot of stuff in model building and yes, it works great on clear parts. I'll be sure to do it that way and discuss in next filming (I already have a couple builds in the can).
That was a beautiful restoration. Really love the sparkly effect that was created with the silver undercoat. Thank you. Just sharing something I saw someone else do on another channel, I apologize that I don't remember the name, they used a putty like JB Weld and shaped it into a small ball. Then they placed it over the post after the base was put on and using the end of a paintbrush, they pressed into the center of the putty ball creating a faux rivet. You can still tell it's putty and not a real original rivet but it looked clean and neat. Just sharing that info. Again, thank you and a beautiful restoration. Oh, and thank you for mentioning about not having to tap the post. I had wondered about that.
God you brought back a memory of my childhood I had this car as a kid in the same color this was a car that my older brother destroyed as he did with so many of my toys his form entertainment was to destroy my toys and make me cry and just to let you know remembering my old toys is always a good memory it's like seeing an old friend.
what you did with the paint job is basically what us old timers would call a Candy paint job, if on an actual car. What you use for a base coat determines the brightness and look of the paint job. If you ever want to do a really trick paint job, start at the front with white, add black as you spray the car in blended stripes as you go down the car, ending with solid black at the end or base, depending on which way you go down the car. Then coat with the transparent color. If you started at the back with white and ended with black at the front with the base, you would have a paint job that makes it look like it's going fast when it's standing still. You can also do other neat tricks, but they get very difficult on such small models. You could also go with a silver or white base then take a very fine brush with gray or black, and make designs in the paint, then put the transparent color over that. The result is a design that at first glance isn't there, then when you get the right angle on it, it pops out.
You did a fabulous job. I only wish on these cars that the post did not have to be drilled trough the trunk. Aside from that which you could not control, you did an amazing job bringing it back to original condition!
Very nice job. the suspension bar can be gently straightened out using boiled water and lay it onto a cold surface, that makes the suspension unit work again.
I like the way you drill your posts out. I have never seen that before and it looks a lot easier than the way I do it. Also I never tap my posts either. I’ve found the screws work a lot better without tapping them
Great job of matching the color. I have a theory that you could replicate the rivet head with JB Weld; put a round little ball of it over the post and hole, then use a pointed tool to press it down after has started to set, but before it hardens fully.
The Redline Shop actually sells reproduction rivet heads, but it just isn't my thing. Some guys are into super originality and that's cool, but just not for me.
Great job with the paint finish! Looks beautiful. That metallic paint isn’t what Lesney seems to have used normally. But it seems to have been incredibly durable.
i done die cast builds ! from a long while back! i used AFX mags on my older build sir ! from model trains cars bikes planes jets fantasy star wars star trek other sifi BSG very long list! so if you like me to email mail you my other die cast build older newer have a great Christmas! your build restore absolutely FAB!
I'm offering a challenge to all of the diecast restorers/customizers. Turn one of the common S&S ambulances into a hearse! I am sending this same message to all of them so hopefully you all can do one and let the viewers decide who can do it best. I'm sure that everyone would like to see that challenge. Who else agrees?
Great Job! I got one of these when I was six years old at Santa's Village in upstate New York back in 1972. I also received the car transporter. I had so many Matchbox, Hot Wheels and other brands. The cars were so much more interesting back then, toys and real cars. My favorite was the light green '67 Cougar which I received for my sixth birthday. It made such an impression on me that my first real car was a '67 Cougar XR7. I wish I had both the Matchbox and the real Cougar now.
Quite a good match color wise to the original with a metal flake look! 😍 Surprised you go to the expense of using epoxy and clear caulk. I like using Formula 560 canopy glue which dries clear and strong and those parts could be removed if need be later!
A little sugestion: have you considered changing the blue LEDs of your turning platform for yellow/warm ones? Perhaps it would be better for the colours 😉
New subscriber and first comment. An excellent restoration. Your attempt at mimicking the original Match Box finish on this Rolls was very successful. I look forward to viewing your other videos as many are of similar interests to mine.
I've fallen into the rut of these restorations and this was excellent. The other videos are good but very formulaic. This gave excellent commentary on how and why you deviate. Kudos for sticking to your guns, you know what you're doing. The audio could use a little discipline though, lots of background noise like cuckoo clocks and tv shows. Looks forward to seeing more. Thanks!
It's called 'candy apple red' metallic silver, or gold undercoat, transparent red top coat. Or, just go get a rattle can. Also available in 'candy' blue, green, orange, yellow!
It's calle a Vix Bit. I bought a 3 pack online for three different sizes. Check my comments on the video for a link to what I bought. Super helpful for guys having trouble drilling like me. Watch my otters video on this exact thing! Thanks for watching!
@@pauly7218 The one at 23:00 I have a polisher machine but it is just too strong I burn the hell out everything with that, so I'm looking for something light weight. One option is the Tamiya 74042 maybe...? Not sure, just find your machine interesting. What is that? Thanks.
As an old guy who was collecting Matchbox cars before there even was Hot Wheels, I can tell that Matchbox had suspension several years before Hot Wheels came out. Even some of the King Size had suspension. Matchbox also came out with AutoSteer on a number of there cars but abandoned it when they went to Superfast to compete with Hot Wheels.
OH by the way, Marty and others do use the pliers method of removing the wheels from time to time. Some axles don't have a major mushroom head on one end, and you can do the pliers bit on that end. Other times they mushroomed them well, and the pliers bit doesn't work all that well. Not that you need to, but you can put the wheels back on by simply squeezing very hard with the pliers to make it larger then the hole in the wheel. Some other makers used this method from the factory. Matchbox did not.
Ya can't flip'm 'cause they have locating tabs on one side. They only go in one way. What I do is heat up the center with a candle and give it a nice reverse bend. It gives it a real nice new car bounce, stronger than original!
Lighting is excellent. Voice narration is clear and helpful, but the "okay" near the end was abrupt. Try to frame the action for the viewer, since what you see is not what we are seeing. Example: we did not see the insertion of the grille into the front of the car. Why did you decide to paint the trunk closed, since it was the only moving part other than the wheels?
However...take a look at your axles, fat end Right hand front other fat end Left hand rear, fat ends should always be on the same side! I’m only saying cause I’m a plank and noticed your eye for detail! Plus Marty said this is the way it should be! LOL
You know, I agree. I altered them on purpose because the were like that when I took it apart, but I do love the idea of symmetry on either side of the car, so that will be that way in all future builds.... Thanks...
Did anyone else notice the hair on the drivers side front wheel or the hair sticking off the windows on the drivers side, while being displayed on the turntable? Cats????
ROTFLMAO!!!! 8 Dogs! I'm lucky they all don't come out looking like the Mutt Mobile from Dumb and Dumber! I'll try and look for them in future videos! LOL.... @@cityofroses08

Since you were a firefighter, which I respect because you helped to save lives, and wound up ill for your efforts, I did not thumb down this. The paint was orange peel texture, and much of the paintwork was of the back of your shoulder. To drill through the post to the point where it popped into the trunk is unacceptable. Also, once you took it apart, it ceased to be a restoration and became a custom. At that point you have carte blanche to make it look better than new by adding details that would improve the appearance. Taillights, rear bumper chrome, detailed interior, a more appropriate color, etc. I personally would have made it look like John Lennons car with a psychedelic paint job. Keep studying and you will eventually get it right.
Grateful for the non-thumbs down and kind words. As to the criticisms, some are valid (After all, I'm new to doing these online) and some (IMHO) are not. Trust me - there is no orange peel. paint is glass smooth, so Not sure what you saw. As to drilling through the trunk, simply my choice - after all, I have already taken the car apart. Finally, I call it a restoration if trying for an original look, and custom when doing something never made, and believe that is very consistent with what others are doing as well. You'll note that no one is trying to make it "original". I love the idea of Lennons car, and you are so right about some camera angles. It's tough to balance camera and being able to work, but I hope to improve. I hope you'll hang with me and watch as I get better and better (and I will look forward to more critiques). Thanks...
Nice work looks amazing well done.
Wow! Excellent restoration. Lots of good tips and original techniques.
Thanks for the kind words and of course, for watching!
That’s such nice casting. You really brought back to life.
Thanks Paul
Wow, it looks amazing!. Beautiful red color and that front grill just sparkes like a diamond

Just put a wheel in the trunk and screw into that, will look good and hide the hole ect

Exactly what I was going to suggest.
Or cut off a rivet head and superglue it to the post.
Great idea!
Put a little body in the trunk to cover the screw- or a little plastic bag shaped like a body.

I didn't know that but it doesn't surprise me. Those guys are so sharp. It isn't 100%, but for short axles I like not removing material. Thanks.
Add a touch of white vinegar to your soap solution and it'll condition the rubber wheels. Heck it's how I clean my whole collection once a month.
Great job

If you did glue the base you do not need epoxy, a glue gun does the job and you can then remove the base again if needed.
most early matchbox cars did NOT have any kind of suspension so far as I can determine.
Surprisingly they did, it just wore out. The earliest, didn't...

Since you were a firefighter, which I respect because you helped to save lives, and wound up ill for your efforts, I did not thumb down this. The paint was orange peel texture, and much of the paintwork was of the back of your shoulder. To drill through the post to the point where it popped into the trunk is unacceptable. Also, once you took it apart, it ceased to be a restoration and became a custom. At that point you have carte blanche to make it look better than new by adding details that would improve the appearance. Taillights, rear bumper chrome, detailed interior, a more appropriate color, etc. I personally would have made it look like John Lennons car with a psychedelic paint job. Keep studying and you will eventually get it right.
Grateful for the non-thumbs down and kind words. As to the criticisms, some are valid (After all, I'm new to doing these online) and some (IMHO) are not. Trust me - there is no orange peel. paint is glass smooth, so Not sure what you saw. As to drilling through the trunk, simply my choice - after all, I have already taken the car apart. Finally, I call it a restoration if trying for an original look, and custom when doing something never made, and believe that is very consistent with what others are doing as well. You'll note that no one is trying to make it "original". I love the idea of Lennons car, and you are so right about some camera angles. It's tough to balance camera and being able to work, but I hope to improve. I hope you'll hang with me and watch as I get better and better (and I will look forward to more critiques). Thanks...

I know it is original but I hate the white steering wheel.
