Brilliant job, what a transformation of a plain model into a bespoke restomod.. beautifully done 😊

[@butterflyfpv]

Very nice! i like the black one much more! Great work!

[@janvanrenselaar5998]

Wow Jay,this car belongs with the Merc 300sl from a few months ago to the best modificated and restored Cars. Hat off to you and the work you have put in this Ferrari

[@jaysmodelcarcollection8338]

Thank you for your positive comment, many thanks 🤗👍👍 Two months of work went into the Ferrari, and for me it is one of my best conversions next to the 300SL😊 thinking about on how to top that 😄

[@janvanrenselaar5998]

@@jaysmodelcarcollection8338 Well that maybe very difficult to top those 2 named projects. I wish you good luck finding another very special car for next project. I have recently restored a Renault 5 turbo in 1-18 scale into the car i owned when i was young,many moons ago. And starting next month with a opel Manta 400 i wich was the first and last car i bought brandnew.. trying to rebuild all the cars i used to drive in my past. Then i will start with the motorbikes i had

[@juliothewailers3484]

Merci pour votre réponse je comprends monsieur . un coupé mercedes pourrait être sympa à visualiser 🤔🤓

[@Bri4r3os]

Really nice work! even if I would have used paint remover and to glue, I would have used a glue like Tamya, which doesn't create annoying threads. However, thanks to your video, I was able to see the huge difference between the BBurago's 250 GTO and my Hot Weels Elite series.

[@jaysmodelcarcollection8338]

Thank you for your Feedback 😊👍 I normaly never remove the paint when i paint old Bburagos. That way helps to reduce the big gaps on Doors, Hood and Trunk. I will try Tamiya glue, thanks for the tipp. 👍 Elite 250GTO is very nice by the way 👍👍

[@tomekTG]

Great work. May I ask, what do you use to clean?

[@jaysmodelcarcollection8338]

I polish the car with sonax extem wax & polish. For the dust i have a fine and smooth brush

[@c4rnut]

Awesome job!. Have you noticed any shrinking of the plastic putty with time at all?

[@jaysmodelcarcollection8338]

Thanks for your Feedback 👍 To avoid shrinking, I let the putty dry for 24h, grind them and put the next layer on it, than again drying 24h... that process i do as long as it's necessary to achive the final form. That takes much time, but i never had issues with shrinking.

[@latinpimp27]

Beautiful job! What did you use to widen the rear wheels?

[@jaysmodelcarcollection8338]

Many thanks, do you mean the rims? The ring is custom made

[@Sportlachs]

siccccc!

[@callsignyamshot3140]

Amazing work 👍🏼. Mine is still a work in progress. Have you got links to where I can order parts like glass and all the metal trim please? I have the discs or rotors as some people call them

[@jaysmodelcarcollection8338]

Thank you 👍 If you build also the GTO, i would recommend the Tremonia Photoetch Transkit, you can find them on ebay. There are also other transkit avalible for the Bburago GTO. If you like original style wheels, i would recommend KK Scale Ferrari spoke wheels, you can also find them on ebay.

[@joseeduardocaceseshiozawa7654]

Dear, initially, congratulations on the excellent work. Your skill is admirable. I would like to ask a question: what is the brand of white plastic putty you used on the fenders? Congratulations. Eduardo, Florianópolis, Brasil

[@jaysmodelcarcollection8338]

Dear Eduardo, many thanks 😊👍👍 I have used Veljo Plastic Putty. Greetings to Brasil 👋

[@craigjackson8796]

I thought there was a bit much black seat would have looked nice done in Ferrari light tan with a darker brown wash to bring out the detail of the quilted seats possibly the top of the dashboard in light tan to , maybe some HT leads wire done in the engine bay , great job though

[@jaysmodelcarcollection8338]

Thank for your Feedback 👍 Yes there is a lot more potential for more details and i really was thinking to add cables to the engine, but would take to much time. The build took 2,5 months.

[@rodrigofranciscodeoliveira6302]

My friend, what was the compound used to polish the windshield and clear parts? I said before this an amazing job and say it again: this is an amazing job. Thank you

[@jaysmodelcarcollection8338]

Many thanks for your comment 🤗🤗👍👍 I use normal car polish for the clear parts, works perfect

[@briandesrocher6882]

Doesn’t roll or u glues rims on solid? Also where did u get new parts for specific model

[@jaysmodelcarcollection8338]

Yes, it dosen't roll. It would take to much time to make them roll, because of the very limitiert space due to the extrem wide wheels. They are glued on the modified original axle pin. For me, it don't need to roll, when a model is finished i put them in an acryl case. Parts you can find on ebay, as the photoetch parts. The seats are from an scraped F40 model.

[@briandesrocher6882]

@@jaysmodelcarcollection8338 awesome ty for answering I have a ton of 1/18 scale cars that I literally detail cleaned every week… before obtaining drivers license haha then turned into real cars… unfortunately I have fallen under some awful situations and I’m stuck home with no license no job no nothing… so was thinking of restoration some of mine.. just don’t know exactly how to obtain parts to customize. Also is I need to rewatch is that a rattle can paint job or u have an air brush more professional paint setup? Thank u for the inspiration

[@muranpapadum7541]

my dumbass thought this was an actual 250 gto getting modified at first

[@-PR0METHEUS-]

Same lmfao

[@5523433]

Nice job, in my opinion the rims with the low tires clash for a 60s car, but again it is my personal opinion.

[@jaysmodelcarcollection8338]

Thank you for your Feedback 👍 I know, that not everybody likes the wheels, my idea was to make a Restomod conversion, that's why i have used modern looking wheels. But as you wrote... not everybody has the same taste 😊👍

[@joeygaming2987]

Hi, where can I get that photo Etched kit?

[@jaysmodelcarcollection8338]

Search on ebay or model car shops for photoetch transkit

[@benv1752]

Where can i get that tool you use to slice syrene plastic?

[@jaysmodelcarcollection8338]

You can find it on Amazon, eBay or model car shops

[@benv1752]

What's it called?

[@zapchastyny]

Great job man.👍. But... now it looks as a Shelby Daytona, and with fender and front spoiler as a Miura Jota. But hands works +++

[@jaysmodelcarcollection8338]

These two cars exactly inspired me for this conversion. the fender is inspired by the Daytona and the front spoiler by the Jota. You have a good knowledge of car design. Thanks for the comment 😊 👍👍

[@canerandagio104]

This Ferrari model,is called "Ferrari 250 GTO-Testarossa". Red Head,because her cylinder head covers were red and not black.

[@jaysmodelcarcollection8338]

Hi, but this is not the 250 TR which stands for Testa Rossa. This is the GTO, build from 62-64 and it was not called Testa Rossa, it was named GTO. They share the same engine, but 250TR and 250GTO are not the same cars. But you are right regarding the "red head" story, why the 250TR was called Testa Rossa. At the end, it is Restomod and a red engine does not fit to my color concept Black/Metal/Chrome for this custom build.

why was a Cayenne used as a towing vehicle and not a Purosangue? 😂😂😂

[@jaysmodelcarcollection8338]

...because a Ferrari SUV dosen't exist 😄 What would you prefer for towing??

[@jacsonperozzo3645]

owsome, great job. i just don´t like this wheels.

[@jaysmodelcarcollection8338]

Thanks for the feedback. I know that not everybody likes the wheels. The concept of this build is a Restomod, therefore i have used Xenon LEDs, modern seats, brakes and wheels to achive a modern classic look.

[@markamd1]

"These" wheels.

[@bluetred353]

Better original wheels

[@duaneyockey5408]

Sorry, nice try. I give you an "A" on effort, but a "D minus" on execution. You went out of your way to get rid of any trace of red. Why? Don't you like Ferrari Rossa Corsa ? Yes, I know that a handfull came in black, yellow, and blue. So what? And the wiring for the lights, what a rat's nest! And blobs of glue inside the headlight lens? So much work, but I'd rather have the way it came.

[@manoman0]

Original wheels are nicer.

[@jaysmodelcarcollection8338]

I know that not everybody likes the wheels, my goal was to build a Custom Restomod, in reality nobody would do that on an 250GTO 😄 That's the freedom of diecast customizing

[@Red-ed6yv]

I'm Italian...... like murdering a work of art by turning it into a model for rich drug dealers

[@jaysmodelcarcollection8338]

Thanks for your feedback! I knew a comment like this would come and I apologize for transforming a design icon. I wanted to create something unique from the GTO, so instead of a restoration it became a restomod. Of course I hope that a real 250GTO will never be customized... it would really be a tragedy for a beautiful classic to do it in reality. That's the nice thing about model car conversions... you can make tons of your own creations as you like 😊👍

[@hoiz1921]

the wheels have ruined the car, the rest looks great tho

[@jaysmodelcarcollection8338]

I know that not everybody likes the wheels, my goal was to build a Custom Restomod, in reality nobody would do that on an 250GTO 😄 That's the freedom of diecast customizing. But i have mounted the wheels to be able to change them. Maybe i will try the KK Scale 250 Wheel Set.
