    I had a rolla-matic.
    I had the yellow Ford pick-up that had the lion that walked in circles in the bed.
    Use a Carroll Shelby snake logo.

    I really like the snake decal for its hediousness!! Maybe a Shelby Cobra somethin’ somethin’. The Piston Popper didnt disappoint! One of my favorite castings, good job!!

  • @PaperworkNinja
    @PaperworkNinja 3 роки тому

    The paint job is fantastic, but the showstopper for me was the engine restoration. Wow! Looks mint!

  • @FluffyTheGryphon

    Keep the snake! It's adorable on there. It appears that I'm outnumbered in voting to keep it though. Haha

  • @jack0cat
    @jack0cat 3 роки тому

    What an awesome color. It was like that blueish silver was cool then the pink was really cool and then the purple omg then a couple more coats bam!!
    I remember having this car what a throw back in my memory banks. 👍❤️

  • @PostalTwinkie
    @PostalTwinkie 3 роки тому

    Blue and white on that fox body! The original Shelby color schemes on a Fox body has always been nice.
    Edit: It's always nice on any Cobra or Mustang.

    @demolitionman9307 3 роки тому +1

    Excited to see that piston popper, yet so very sad, i had 2 of those Mustangs as a kid, i still have 1 left, but it's in a extremely poor condition. Unfortunately i was hard on my toys, most of my Hotwheels/Matchbox cars i destroyed, fire crackers. Gasoline, and a hammer lol. No wonder i ended up a Demolition Derby Driver. I have a few derby videos on my channel if anybody wants to take a peek, anyhoo, thanks for the awesome content, keep up the great work, all the best for 2022. Love from Australia.

  • @realmaindrianpace
    @realmaindrianpace 3 роки тому +9

    I still have my Piston Popper from when I was a kid, and it's still pretty minty. That's probably the best one I've seen, other restorers have tried to revive them, but they always get the color off. But that paint looks exactly right, and glossier than they ever were. 10/10.

  • @R1chardB1ngham
    @R1chardB1ngham 3 роки тому

    Woohoo another 70's Matchbox getting the treatment! I really like this group of castings, Boss Mustang, IMSA Mustang, Piston Popper and Vantastic. I've even combined the Vantastic casting with the Piston Popper engine to make a Pistastic... Also should tell you that Kenner Fast 111s King Cobra actually became a Matchbox casting, the #74 Mustang GT. I have a spare Matchbox in my customising box but I'd love to find a Kenner version too.

  • @daps559
    @daps559 3 роки тому

    I like the idea of doing the stripes on the fox body. The snake is rad but your paint jobs are killer. Popper is exhibit A.

    Amazing work AGAIN! I was so worried that you were gonna add another coat of blue but you proved me wrong. I thought it looked really wild with just one coat but I know that wasn't what you were going for. Keep up the great content!

  • @JoeNerd11
    @JoeNerd11 3 роки тому

    Damn! Stunning! I wish they'd make some reissues of these more wacky gimmick cars. Such a nostalgic rush! Also, that green fox body looks like it's a Kenner Fast 111's. Would be great if you could recreate the little licence plate sticker too.

  • @llewis7324

    @jim874 3 роки тому

    Funny. I just finished responding to you on K2500 episode about my thing for 1:1 scale Mustangs and then what's the next thing I found in my notifications was this episode the 1971 -1973ish Mustang popper. Excellent job all around. The paint was really good and the grill and rear end was stunning.

  • @tork62077
    @tork62077 3 роки тому

    Looks real good 👍🏻 do a cobra job and no snake on the foxbody

  • @vorbert
    @vorbert 3 роки тому +1

    Damn Austin. Damn it again. One of my all-time favorite matchbox. And on the top of that, you've treated it with such a great respect. Even authentic to the real paint (pink layer at the bottom). It's so good to see that someone gives so much love to these awesome engineering creations. Bro you deserve the crown of the diecasters. You are the KING in my eyes.
    For the CPR Mustang you should redo the snake, but in a funny way, just like in case of Mike Tysons's van. Have fun with it, make a joke out of the whole episode. You are a great entertainer.
    Thanks for the effort man. Cheers

  • @theweekendhobbiest
    @theweekendhobbiest 3 роки тому

    Since the fox body casting is a 4 eye. You should do a king cobra. You should check out the factory decals. They're pretty rad. 😎

  • @SwampersRC
    @SwampersRC 3 роки тому

    I didn't think the purple was going to work until it did! Beautiful as always, you are the paint master!
    I've been playing around with the liquid chrome pens, and I also found that an extremely heavy coat will get you that "factory fresh" look.
    I would absolutely turn the super snake into a cobra!
