    I love the aged white paint. Reminds me of an old refrigerator from the same era. Perfect touch of authenticity. Thanks for sharing.

    I'm not sure how I came across this video but I kept thinking to myself, "how boring could it possibly be to watch a matchbox car restoration??"
    I watched it from start to finish and have to extend a bow to your meticulous attention to detail. Not bored at all. Bravo, man.

    I was recommended this for some reason. I recall when i was 7 years old in the late '70's. i painted all of my die cast Matchbox Superking and Majorette cars with enamal Testors paints and what a complete bollocking mess I made of it all! I even washed up my brushes in Vim Bathroom powder, haha.

      Hmm, well, I worked on a few of these ‘back in the day’, in various guises, including the odd ambulance. It’s a Bedford “J model”, and was built in various versions by Bedford, including the “JO” which had the 6 cyl engine from the Vauxhall Cresta - pretty fast, about 95 mph, which I think meant it was used as a basis for a lightweight fast ambulance for a short while. But most J’s had either Bedford petrol or diesel lumps. One Bedford J model ambulance is still seen here in UK on the TV series “Heartbeat” and “The Royal”.
      But the only folk who normally chromed the grills were gypsies and didicoys (our garage had one or two of those vehicles in too), as they liked to dolly up their vehicles. Otherwise the grill was the same colour as the body, so white or cream on an ambulance.
      No doubt Australia produced various Holden versions of these too. Oh boy! All that was a long time ago! Les in UK

    @robertburleyson7444 6 років тому +1

    Wow, I was born in '61'. What caught my eye was the ambulance! I had one, and my only other thought was the red crosses were missing and if memory serves me, 'which it might not', I believe mine had a red cross on the back also. Great vid. by the way.

    I remember the doors coming off. It seemed as though they enjoyed being difficult going back.
    As a kid the frustration was tremendous which only fueled the determination.
    I ended up breaking the tiny door pins off during the attempt.
    Great restoration video 👍
    Lovely wife and smile. 😂

    When I was a child in the 60's each last friday of month after school happy buying another new Matchbox model. Watching your restauration done with passion brought back that memory. I never became a fan of those american wheel cars, Matchbox was so mutch better. Shame on me all cars were sold on market when I was a older boy. Greetings from Germany.

      1965 I had an accident I was just three years old but remember being rushed to Lancaster Royal Infirmary in a Bedford J1 Ambulance, the sound of the engine is unique.
      Of course I had the model of this vehicle and recently acquired four of them.

    I can't remember that model but remember the real thing very well. The Matchbox ambulance I had was an American but for the life of me I can't remember what it was but my favourite was the Ford Mustang with front wheels that turnrd using a side lever made of plastic. This channel is a trip down memory lane for me.

  • @Edgy01
    @Edgy01 6 років тому

    Beautiful work. I recall a trip to London in November 1966 where I purchased (from my meager allowance at the time) several Matchbox cars from Selfridges, down the street. In my haste to begin playing with them I foolishly tossed the original boxes into the trash can in my room at the Cumberland Hotel at Marble Arch. Little did I know how valuable the boxes would become to maintain originality and vintage value. You are a true craftsman! I need to learn more about the superglue and baking powder trick.

  • @BW-qf5gs
    @BW-qf5gs 6 років тому +20

    I had this exact matchbox back in the day. The back doors coming off were the first thing if I remember right (hey it's been a lot of years). Bought in England at the base exchange where my dad was stationed in the USAF in the early '60s. I could be wrong but I think these cost 11 cents U.S. back then. Thanks for this!

    The details of the ambulance are quite nice. I've worked on some small bike models and I've had some excellent results using magnifying glasses. They take a little getting used to but the results are worth the learning curve.

    @fukyuandthizshyt 6 років тому +6

    I had matchbox cars as a kid...some from the US, some from our time in England. I remember smashing one flat with a brick, by the milk bottles at the front door, and my mother came out horrified at the destructiveness. What she didn't get is I wasn't destroying at all, I was creating. ..a wrecked car (one that had had an accident). It went with my ambulance and flat bed truck. Stories of the action was what matchbox play was all about. And in my stories, there were accidents.. O_o

    • @MartysMatchboxMakeovers
      @MartysMatchboxMakeovers  6 років тому +5

      Charlie, I had to laugh about this. So common a story, kids smashing there cars up to make a wrecking yard! - A mate of mine told me that one day he took all the tyres off his models and then crushed them one by one in a vice in his fathers shed. When his father came home from work , he was presented with a pile of scrap metal which had cost him a fortune! Apparently he went off his nut! ( I can't understand why). - Good news is, that people like you, and kids like my mate have future proofed my channel! - I will never be out of work! Ha! Ha!.

      As a 67 year old born in 1951 , matchbox cars and lorries played a big part in my childhood of the 1950s and early 60s . Just wish now I had held on to some of them.

    You went from being a guy who brushes off metal filings with his bare fingers, to one who dons full hazmat gear to apply paint remover to a Matchbox car :) I watched the whole video and loved it. Thinking about attempting makeovers on a couple of my good old Matchbox cars! Thank you for the inspiration. Cheers mate

    I had one of these when I was five years old. I still remember being in the store where my mother bought it for me.

    Marty your video brought back memories because when I was a little kid in the early 70's I had a matchbox truck just like this. You have a very unique talent keep up the good work.

      I thought the exact same thing... a bit of overkill for that small amount of paint stripper. I mean if you fell into a vat of it, then I could understand, but this is a tad much. lol

    Ahhhhhh, the old "baking soda and crazy glue trick"...
    I never tried it but have seen plenty of videos of people who have, to include the military repairing helicopter rotors with this formula!
    BRAVO MY FELLOW BACKYARD ENGINEERS!
    Great work Marty
