Matchbox Ford Zodiac Restoration No33d

[@stephaniehamilton6217]

I never get tired of watching these restorations, they remind me of my childhood when my late uncle would take me to Woolworths and buy me these little cars every week; unfortunately I lost them all in a house fire when I was little, I miss my uncle and my little cars 😢😢😢

[@MatchboxResurrection]

They bring me a lot of great memories too. Cheers Stephanie

Great job. You were great to choose the original color of this model. Details such as lights, rear lamps greatly improve the visualization of this model. Best wishes

Thank you very much Paul

Hey Juan, nice to watch a simple restoration, which is an art in itself. Clean and simple. I think the paint match is spot on. The final result is absolutely pristine. Big thumbs up from Switzerland - Andrew 🍁👍

Some weird stuff going on with that paint Juan; you nailed it in the end though. Great job with the colour, a tricky one to match.👍👌😁

[@MatchboxResurrection]

Very tricky color... Thanks a lot Dougie

[@martindaredare]

Excellent restoration Juan loo,s great 👍

[@MatchboxResurrection]

Cheers Martin mate. Have a good weekend

[@railtrolley]

Superb! Very nice restoration on this classic Matchbox. I can't think of any other cars painted in this rare colour - you matched the paint very well. I changed my version to a different variant: added a window piece, and painted it the 2 tone mauve metallic top and orange lower half.

[@MatchboxResurrection]

That sounds good too!!!. Cheers mate

[@joeholloway1386]

Excellent restoration. Tail lights are a nice addition.
On another note, hope you're doing well. Haven't seen anything new from you for a few weeks now. I gather you're taking a well deserved break?

Thanks Luc. Yes I've been busy with other things so I'm having a little break...

Do you have a specific technique to match your colours ,like a colour chart or is it left to 'pot luck'...

[@MatchboxResurrection]

It's more like a pot luck lol. Cheers Jeff
