Wow Rob you've done a great job on the Olds. Brilliant. Love the colour, the windows look spotless (apart from the bullet holes). Love the details especially all the chrome. Napoleon Solo & Illya Kuryakin look great and can now shot some more bad guys. And a 100%er too. Thank you mate superb job.
Glad you gave Napoleon Solo a hair transplant - he looked like he had a dodgy comb-over! There are some rare versions of the car in an off-white colour. I painted my childhood one in red and gold. Guess what colour it was to start with? Of course it was. It's a clever toy that just screams to be played with. Corgi were the masters of odd, fun gimmicks. And another 100 percenter. Nice. The end result is superb - one of your very best, to my mind. Love it.
The cream/off white version is a slightly different casting. It has no ridge on the bonnet to locate the UNCLE sticker. Also the interior is a slightly different colour. They were mostly export models for USA. Beware clever fakes if searching for an original one...
On dear Rob had a 100% paint removal you need to talk to Marty he tried it again , I thought he was going to smash the glass again PS send him a foot long😆👍
100% Paint Removal! Brilliant work as always Rob. Love how it turned out. Those chrome strips down the sides can be maddening. Stay safe there with that heat. It's hot like that here in Florida, but we're used to it and our buildings are equipped for it so I can't imagine how miserable it can be. Thanks for continuing to post videos regardless of the temp.
Second 100 % paint removal in a row! Great resto here, car colour and details. I like it and it brought me nice memories of that tv program ('El agente de CIPOL' was known here in México many years ago) 👍👏👏👏
It's been pretty hot over here too, a lot of sweaty days out fixing vending machines, training new guys, who knew after 3 years I'd be the old guy leading the way.
I had one of these❗️ I never saw the original TV show. Don’t know how I missed it. No reruns of it in St.Louis😐. I have the entire series on DVD , now. ( This car was never used in any shows [ or movie]. The “ guy in black “ is David McCallum ( NCIS), and in the white, was played by Robert Vaughn. The car: 1961 Oldsmobile. Fantastic job, miss matched paint color- and and all. I’m glad you did a Restore on it. 📻🙂
Great job Dad rebuilt one of these he picked up in the auction .. Great car. Huge trunk lol ... Your color choice very close to Dads. And good for you 100% paint removal again
Love The Man From Uncle Car, Oldsmobile Chasing A Car Full Of Punks Firing Revolvers Out Of Windows And The PUNKs Are Shooting Back But These Guys Still Go After Them Love That Action Rob!!! And I Really Love How You Kept It All Original!!! You Did Such A Good Job Of It Mate Cheers!!!
Dang. That was a particularly violent 100% paint removal. And a fine result! I used to see cars of that approximate vintage, with paint schemes very like the one this car had when you started, all the time when I was a kid. As body panels rusted out (and they always did), they'd get replaced with good old Junkyard Special parts in whatever color was available. I therefore dub the original version the _Man from M.A.I.N.E._ edition. :)
It is 27°C here in Indiana. My house is shaded from the sun so it stays comfortable most of the time. I like four door cats. My Crown Victoria is a four door.
Hi Rob,what a great video,the car at the start was all colours,it was all there,but with your knowledge,the results are superb,it looks like straight out the box.top work.
Hadn't realised that this was a specialty model; although I admire the creative paint job, I agree with you that it should be restored to original (in this case) blue. There was also a white THRUSH Buster available as well if memory serves. But I hope you're going to use the colour scheme on another model... 🙃
Great job as always, those chrome trims and taillights makes huge difference compared to original Corgi 😎 You have made lots of 100% paint removals within last month 😀
Rob I have to say this is one of my favorite cars you’ve ever done. And that’s saying an awful lot because you’ve done so many beauties. This one is “100%” an A+ job. I absolutely love the color. It sure does suit the car and if I hadn’t seen the blue underneath earlier in the video I’d have thought the color you made was the original. In fact I like it far better than the original. Just spectacular, mate!!!
Brother, when I watch your vids... I do watch them all the way through! picked up the package from the post today, haven't opened it yet.... I want to share it with everyone.
And as the familiar duo from back in the day would say: Wow! That was cool. That was a stunner. Mate, you've done so many castings and I have seen quite many of them through your channel, but this one is so beautiful. Well done mate. Keep up the excellent work and stay safe.
Honestly love your vid format, would not change a thing, keep it up... maybe do one showing how you do the details, and I apologize if you did one and I missed it.

I did consider white. Maybe if I get another

@@chrispalmer9838 - Thank you for that information - I had always thought it was just a colour variation. I'll keep my eyes peeled. 👍
Fantastic job, Rob. I can remember seeing this on TV when it came out back in the 60's. Nice to see this one restored. And....100% paint removal!
On dear Rob had a 100% paint removal you need to talk to Marty he tried it again , I thought he was going to smash the glass again
PS send him a foot long😆👍
100% paint removal. Nice one Rob. Also love the fact that the passenger moves out as you push the periscope in. Love it!
100% Paint Removal..! That is one of the best ones you've done, definitely one to be proud of mate...
100% Paint Removal 👍 Nice Restoration. I used to watch repeats of the man from u.n.c.l.e in the 80s.
That was a great show on its day. The restore looks great.
The idea of bottled hotdogs makes my blood run cold. 55 years of life and I have never seen bottled hot dogs.
Absolutely great result, especially in the rear bumper area. And of course it's always great to see a 100% paint removal
Another 100% paint removal!! 👍 Awesome restoration, Rob!!! That car looks beautiful!!! The periscope works great!!! 👍👍👍👍

Such a Beautiful car, brought back to life to continue the fight for UNCLE and the free world.
That blue looks like the blue on my family's 62 Oldsmobile, long gone now. Your model is a 61. Looks really great.

Nice job, and that paint removal was nuts!
I had one of these as a kid. I didn't have the Man from u.n.c.l. though. Mine was blue with a white stripe. Had loads of these old Corgi toys once.
Excellent Job!! Love those old cars!!
Wow. What a transformation. Really nice car

Beautiful work, you’ve out done yourself.
Very cool excellent Restoration 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
That looks great 😃 plus the 100% paint removal. I think your car looks better then the factory paint job.
Rob its always good day when you get 100% paint removal very very nice resto the color is perfect luv all the accents like the real car job well done
That silver blue is actually close to a GM color for that year 1961 on full size Oldsmobiles, Pontiacs, Buicks and Chevrolet's.
it looks great. the paint might be light but it really looks good on that car
Nice restoration and paint job 👌
i always loved that show and when they did the reboot move i really enjoyed it i wish they would do another one
Love the big body cars ( I.e. 4-Door cars) excellent job, love the color.
Great job on the 100% paint removal
Great job as always, those chrome trims and taillights makes huge difference compared to original Corgi 😎
You have made lots of 100% paint removals within last month 😀
Brill Job Rob.. Napoleon Solo had a defined hair parting. Spot on R

Nice remodel better than the original, the original was only a kids play model for the tv series.
