Paint is too heavy

ooh, love them both! and great repair too, love the wheels. :) the taillights look nice, too, too bad the details aren't too visible, but one can still see them, so no fail here. and never mind the glass inserting, guess how the people at MB's assembly line felt with some castings... XD as for the deteriorating paint, I have seen it before once. not sure, either, maybe the paint's hardener deteriorated, or they used some thinner to clean it from marker overpaint. I'm assuming nitro paint thinner, as it is most common. I have a casting ny GAMA which has been overpainted with silver, and then washed off, which burned the glasses crispy. maybe even beyond any repair... good thing the casting isn't that rare, I found better ones already. but, still.

Fantastic job Peter love both fantastic lovely colours beautiful

Wow,pretty damn cool.Not a huge fan of General Lee,but that makeover looks super.

sssshhh don't tell them , drilling straight through is a right of passage

the number probably corresponded to the moulds they wouldn't just be running 1 for production volumes if there was a fault they could trace which mould it was

Very nice job there peter well done

Spectacular work on both. Big dukes fan

They look fantastic Peter nice work always look forward each week to watch your restrictions take care 👍.

Nice customs PB!

They both are awesome. Great job PB. Glad you shared.

These look great. Not a model that I've ever liked but it's great seeing your work and the results on them.

Outstanding double, Peter, lovely paint work , cheers for the mention

Valiant on the brain 🧠 😅 they both turned out cool PBs 😎 Cheers 🍻🇦🇺🦘🏔🪃

Sure did enjoy the video..... more than looking a million bucks, they look a million quid a piece! Fine work and, as usual, most entertaining 👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻

Nice restorations, details and paint jobs!!

You out did yourself Peter. I always prefer look of decals to stickers. Stickers always look so cheap. I always have a soft spot in my heart for the old Dukes of Hazzard. Lucky viewer getting a shout out again. Is that canopy glue you using or just PVA? I'm trying to think of a cheap way of printing in white. A sinking maybe buying replacement white ink and then cleaning refilling the black cartridge with white. Cheers Graham.

Great job Peter 👍🏻

Awesome work.

Super cool on both counts. Love the Duke's option. Well done PB Cheers JV

Those two look the buiz, buddy. I'm not usually knocked out by Superfast bit those I like.

im 1st rockin that build shared liked loved !

This was in my click bait and curiosity got the best of me. In a million years I would never have suspected such interest or a hobby centered around restoring old Gorgi's and then to see a 26 minute video produced on one toy vehicle. It's brilliant! and thanks for sharing and letting me see something else of the world's wonders. Touche'

The only dragging a Corvair was doing was a tailpipe. Great job as always.

Excellent job. What size drill bit do you use for the screws?

Another great restore mate. Keep up good work, cheers Graham

G'day to you Peter, job well done Mate! Armadale West Aust.

Mind blowing!

Mind blowing!

Last 😮😂 awesome stuff @PBsRetroRestorations I've it a few of these in my collection and some in very bad need of restos, enjoy your weekend 🍻 🇦🇺 🦘 🪃🏔🍻

fantastic restoration, similar as possible to the original, as i like to do in my videos too 🙂👍

Well done, PB.The tires look too big.This casting uses the same tires as the AEC fire engine.

Great job Peter 👍🏻

She fought you all the way Great video

Great job 👍🏻

Looks amazing Peter you got there in end fantastic Restoration well done 👍

looks so much better. :) sound was good, too. the crooked body seems to have been stepped on, which could explain why the ramp slid out. one solution could have been to use two shorter axles with big mushrooms and connect them in the center with a piece of brass tubing. would have saved you a liter of blood or two. XD the replacement glass es I've seen all don't come with that tongue that keeps the ramp up in place. maybe because the replacements are made of resin, not polystyrene... but that leaves the problem of how to add a spring to that ramp. one of these days I'll experiment with a cable tie glued to the floor. a white one shouldn't be too obvious. or maybe a black one? I have the same truck, all tyres on, only one crack in the roof. but still playworn. I have a feeling the shrinking of them hubs comes from UV rays exposure; the more it gets played with outside, or the longer it resides on the windowsill, the more the hubs shrink. even the paints would fade; I have a scout car in mint condition, only that the yellow has faded to a dull tan over half of the casting. :P sometims when putting these together it makes one wonder what tricks they had at the assembly line... surely this can't go together? XD

Very nice rest my friend, the Windows came up realy good comparing what they were In the beginning. Take care and have a nice weekend there down under 😎👍🏻

Bet yer boots I enjoyed the video, PB......... lovely restoration 👍🏻👏🏻👌🏻 And therein lies the rub. Restorations are tricky far more often than do-ups/mods cos of not having the wiggle room to get out of the cacky. It certainly happens to me more often than not. Still, it makes for great entertainment watching someone else go through it......and with good grace to boot. Nice one, Blue! Keep 'em coming!
