MATCHBOX Restoration No 59c Ford Galaxie 1966

- This firechief car was quite the under taking, not because of its condition and any difficulties associated with restoring it, but because the donor had given me a challenge to include a blue flashing light on the roof in the final reveal.

I'm trapped at home due to it snowing outside. To have a Marty video made my evening much better!
I watch these before bed. So therapeutic
Nice job Marty! I had a 66 Ford Galaxie 500 two years out of high school back in 1975. I bought the car from a high school kid who made some modifications. He added mag tires used back then, dual thrust hush exhaust and did the car in blue metal flake paint. Oh and jacked up just a little in the back . That car was the bomb! We went everywhere in it. Those were the days.
Nice job Marty!
Good idea matching the colour before stripping the model. In fact all your ideas for the restorations, replacing parts like the axles etc are brilliant. You always do a fantastic job of restoring these vintage models. ..
I bought one at the local drug store that carried Matchbox cars. I still have it. And 60 or so others. Like a lot of people, I wish I would have kept the boxes. I do have a few. But when you're 9 years old, who cared about the box ? I also have several engines and other emergency vehicles. I went on to a 20 year career with the Fire Dept. and retired as Captain. Peace to all of you and yours out there from America, and THANK YOU MARTY for the great videos. :)
when i was a kid (40 years ago) I was dropping off some garbage with mum at the local tip and someone had thrown out about 300 empty matchboxes. I should have grabbed them. i DID go through them and found one that was not empty (forklift).
Check ebay there are some reasonably priced repro boxes there
I love to watch your restoration work. You gives new life to dead toys. Thanks for making beautiful videos.
The "headlines" in the spray booth are now an icon of your show.
Love the headline "World's Laziest Slob Lies in Bed for 56 Years!" That's journalism! I've been enjoying your videos.
Hey Marty - Great job as always! That little lump on the grill is actually a nice detail that matches the original car's grill: It's a small Galaxy logo that has what looks like a crown on top.
Agreed
Another great video Marty, glad to see that your boomerang injury is healing. Hope you and your lovely bride enjoy your holiday.
Thank you so much for some many entertaining restoration videos. Have a great vacation!
I always look forward to your videos especially seeing what you've lined your spray booth with this week. Always good for a chuckle.
The choice of which ancient newspaper is in your spray booth is always an exciting discovery.
Everyone upvote this so that Marty will challenge me to a matchbox showdown!!
I'd love to see two pros face-off on a resto, sure the results for both would be crazy cool!
Always got pick fights, Jimmy? 😆
Marty will win, man
Happy to see new video on my arrival! Thank you!
I just add a thumbs up without even watching the video first! Why is this so therapeutic? Thanks, as always.
Always appreciate it, Thanks very much chris!
And half a bottle of whisky later, a fully restored Matchbox car! Magic.
top job yet again Marty love the flashing blue light ...enjoy your break and we will stay tuned for when you return
I had the 2 door version of this for real. Loved cruising around in that car. Thanks for bringing back the memories. The "bump" on the driver's side of the grill is the factory emblem you'd see on the real Galaxie 500 XL cars. That's a really nicely detailed die-cast car.
Oh the nostalgia! Me mum had a 1968 Galaxie 500. I was the first car I remember riding in. It had more of a fastback than the '66 but was very similar. This grabs me by the feels.
That's some good nyborg.
Enjoy your holiday mate
Τhanks for sharing with us another one good project of restoration!
I just love how thorough you are,paint wise and all the info on the particular model your working on so informative also glad to see you using taymia paints. You sir have a wonderful day.love your videos.
Theres a lot of stuff to cram into each video, sometimes I wish i could squeeze in a little more. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Emblem on the grill & note the stars on the tail lights. Nice details. And another beauty restored.🚓
Marvelous job!!
The "casting mark" on the grill is actually a badge emblem on Ford Galaxies. Depending on which model car it was they were different.
Didn't they say "500" on the Galaxie 500's?
Thanks for another great video Marty. Hope you and yours have a great holiday. Relax and have fun.
As always love the videos Marty and look forward to the next. Enjoy your holiday and have a great time away wherever you may go. See you back for your unboxing soon
Automatic upvote as you are restoring my childhood!
Another fine restoration by the master.
Great job Marty, you have great time on vacation, oh I mean holiday!
Great job Marty! Love the ending bringing back the pumper!
Great job Marty. Have a great Vacation! 👍🏻👍🏻
Good one Marty, from the US east coast
Top Flight restorations of the world, Craig...
You have inspired me to restore my own Ford Galaxie fire chief's car
Cool! Happy Saturday.....I like that! Have a great and safe vacation! 😃✌
That's a nice job Marty Nice to see clever ways around problems....
Nicely done Marty. Have a safe trip!
Enjoy your holiday and god speed your safe travels.
Thank you Marty for sharing you brilliant videos, Very enjoyable so much so I have taken the plunge and done my first restoration.
Fantastic Andy!
Amen, another therapy calm session! Thanks Marty! Enjoy your holiday!
I'm glad you enjoy it Russell, I really do appreciate everyones support.
I grew up with Matchbox cars and these videos are so addicting. Love watching you work. Your results are excellent. Your little story lines are quite entertaining. Cheers from America!
I just discovered this channel I'm 49 years old and for some reason I find watching you restore these toy cars not only interesting but very relaxing as well
Hi Marty, bloody fantastic job on the Ford Fire chief car .Hope you have a great trip away l,ook forward to more video after your you return.
Nice job Marty. Great restoration and video. Being a firefighter here in the US I especially like this one.Had this model when I was a kid. Thanks, as always, excellent!
Marty, you should consider narration of children's books and animation. You've definitely got the voice for it.
Nice video. Thanks for share!
Have an awesome holliday!!!
Nice job with this one, I like that paint on the base, really looks good.
Fabulous restoration Marty! I have that same fire chief so now know how to restore it myself... You da Boss!
Have a good vacation Marty looking forward to seeing the new video!
Looka thaaaat!! Gorgeous job, Marty!
its crazy, ive been having a crappy day so far in between school and work. i finally have time to have a smoke and watch MMM, as soon as it started i felt more relaxed than ever. thanks for that Marty.
Marty....needless to say, this is on point as usual. One of my fav castings too. It is the first *custom* I ever made back in 1976. I used a pen knife to scratch the britework areas of paint.
My first car as luck would have it was a 1965 Galaxie 500. I paid $700 for it. I called her The Beast. 352 Windsor V8 with a Rochester 4 BBL carb.
That bump on the front grill was simply badging Lesney saw fit to include on the grill. Just a logo for the car.
I use a metal brush in my dremel to clean up the base. Does a great job. Great job!
Awesome. I dug through my mom's closet and found my old matchbox and found a couple of projects. I love these videos
!
Lovely Makeover again, have nice hollidays .....thx
The mark on the grill is the Ford Galaxie logo from the factory. You're right, it belongs there, and is a great piece of detail
That camera rig is *AWESOME!!!*
www.cam-fix.com......feel free to send me any questions you may have...info@kup-solutions.com
I enjoyed that. Very satisfying to watch. Have a great holiday!
Good job God bless you and your family amen
Thanks for another great video Marty. Enjoy your holiday!
When I was a child in the 1960’s I would go with my aunt and uncle to the local toy store and get one matchbox car of my choice. It seems like yesterday when I picked out this fire chief car...
Another great restoration. Enjoy your holiday!
There's something about Ford Galaxies that intrigue me a lot!
Hope you have a good time. Thanks
Beautiful as always.
Great job as usuall Marty! Have a great trip and be safe. Take care.
Thank you, I'll try!
One little tip for you mate. When replacing parts that are an awkward shape like the ¼ window and roof was, use a thin, but stiff cardboard to do the outline, even drawing it on the cardboard, rather than trying to cut it. Once you have the shape perfect, you can transfer the shape to the plastic, and cut the shape from the template you just made, and it will be a perfect fit. It's a lot easier to make this way. Also, when darkening red in the future, use a brown instead of a black, and it will tone in mutch better, without altering the hue as much. Adding black should always be reserved for darkening white only. If you want to darken a colour, you should always look on the opposite side of a colour wheel, and add that. To change the tone if a colour, add one of its pyramid colours e.g. imagine the colour you are using is the top of a pyramid, and the two colours at the bottom points are it's light and dark hues. To change the hue, add whatever colour is next to it on a colour wheel. You can get colour wheels anywhere for a couple of bucks. Just a little mess with a cheap watercolour set from the $1 store and it becomes self explanatory. Hope this helps mate.
This comment takes me back to art class in grammar school, and my lusciously sweet and attractive teacher Miss Connors.
I don’t know why but I particularly enjoyed this mornings video more than usual! Enjoy your leave Marty, maybe you ll find some matchbox on holiday! See you in two weeks! Ian
Thanks, I'm definitely on the hunt for some matchbox over there. Hope you dont find the gaps in the videos too much of a hassle.
Of course we’ll miss you but everyone needs a wee break now and then! Schedule your next holiday for 2023 and we’ll forgive you! Lol
To straighten the plastic I like to fix the piece of plastic in a glass plate with magnets and then to immerse in hot water. The trick is to let the water cool slowly.
Well done Marty, another timeless classic youtube video.. loving you just slowing the pace and describing all the little details, they really hold our attention..
Have a nice holliday Marty. Cheers mate.
Mission done. Awesome. Great job.
Just brilliant! - As always!👍👍👍👍
Great restoration as expected. I have a few of these castings I should attempt
Another great job Marty!! Enjoy your time away.
Thanks very much, Hope the gap in between videos isnt an inconvenience.
You completely nailed that red ! Great work Marty, thanks for posting !
Just caught your video..great job as always, the flashing blue light was an amazing touch! Enjoy your vacation and will be watching for your next video..
Enjoy your well deserved holiday Marty.
Another great restoration!
Superb job mate. She looks brand new
Always enjoy watching your videos have a good vacation
Gonna miss the Saturday video, but I hope you have a fantastic time away! I have been waiting for that massive box of cars video... and I’m guessing that’s what’s coming soon. I wanted to mention what a great job you’ve been doing on your 3D printing and decal production lately. These aspects add dynamics to your video production, that I personally enjoy. Thanks for another Cool, fun adventure.
You guessed right, I tried to get a backlog of videos before I went away but these take more time than I always think they will.
I'm still trying to get the 3D printing right, All in time I suppose. Thanks very much for the comment.
Marty's Matchbox Makeovers You’re very welcome, Marty!
Hope you enjoy your holiday and thanks for the awesome videos.

bon voyage...thanks again
Another fantastic restoration 👍
Another fantastic restoration job, and another happy Matchbox car. :)
Excellent....enjoy your holiday 😎
Enjoy your holidays Marty, I look forward to the return of your videos
My Dad had a 65’ Ford Galaxie. That little detail on the grill is a logo symbol. It shows the letters XL or LTD (depending on the trim level) within a “Ford Blue” background.
Excellent result. The paint colour and gloss is superb. Good idea for repainting the base: looks new again.
Awesome restoration and video, as always!!! 👏👏👏👏👏
Very nice good job the lights add a very touch.
