Matchbox Jeep No.72 Restoration+

[@robkees9353]

I love watching people who are passionate and skilled at something show us their magic. When there are so many people and things that are negative in the world, it’s nice to come here and be entertained by a craftsman who loves their work. In the big scheme of things, restoring a toy car may seem inconsequential but it’s the little things in life that brings joy to us. Thanks for sharing your videos! You have a new fan.

[@hestheMaster]

It originally looked like it came from the bin! Nothing more satisfying than putting it back together again and making it look new once more !!!😍

[@keithperry8098]

Like # 91. Nice little Jeep. Good restoration. The wheels make the whole model. Great job. Thanks for posting. Less unboxing more restoration. Thank you👍

[@fredp8486]

Wow if you can restore that model, you can restore anything. That was the equivalent of someone going to a junkyard and building a vehicle from parts. GREAT JOB

[@stillkicken2007]

Awesome Jeep , reminds me of the younger days going mud busting.

[@carloscabral7331]

Beautifull....espectacular!!!!

[@borusiewicz80]

i would never expect for this car to look as good as it does after you restored it. much better than the original even when it was new

[@Hoonozit]

I liked this Jeep when I was a kid. It looks even better now. Great work.

[@robw5088]

The Jeep turned out great! I think the leveling solution really helped out making that paint job look like silk

[@Gizzzy]

Even better than a factory original. Wow well done Rob.

[@raydoyonful]

The wheel and tire combo is outstanding!

[@scottthomas6202]

Looks like it should be out in the Colorado mountains...or somewhere out West. Back in the '70s, some parks and the U.S. Geological Service used Jeeps ( and International Harvester trucks) painted sort of a desert tan... that's what that Jeep reminded me of...Nice Job!

[@michaelpeel9347]

Whoa, That cleaned up right nice, good selection of wheels and tires. Small piece of window screen laid over the drain will solve that issue so you don't have to play plumber again. Watch several of you guys do these restores/customs, makes me want to restore mine, have to get a detector to find them though. I am not sure they will be able to be saved after 40 years in the ground. Thanks for sharing Mike from Texas,Take Memories,Leave Footprints

[@stevenjones19-m8i]

Another amazing model,yellow does still look good on this Jeep,the wheels look awesome on this one,good choice.

[@normanrowe2831]

Wow! It’s amazing what the right set of wheels can do. When you were showing the 3 sets, I too, liked these the best. Nice little Jeep with the big beefy tires. See ya next time.

[@yvesdesrosiers2396]

You should get a basket strainer from the pound shop. It would save having the parts falling into the drain. Thanks for sharing.

[@GiotheGhreat]

You are a total inspiration! a few weeks ago I got the same car in the same condition and I said to myself "this is beyond repair" and here you are...mine has the seats broken, the windshield is missing, the tires are gone, the extra tire is there ... now you are giving me ideas! Unfortunately MBX crazy collectors do not appreciate the art of restoration and they rather to buy new and look at it lol Honestly I don't find the fun of it.

[@ConstantinoR-ss9bn]

the wheels look great on this jeep casting I like this color better than the original color job well done

[@scotiajinker8392]

I had a couple of them as a kid . Forgot all about it until I saw this. Thank you

[@saltields7649]

I liked the white wheels the best and would have painted the spare wheel the same color as the main wheels. I really like how you put in the extra effort and time to detail the lights and other parts. It really helps the cars get that extra kick and pop out.

[@daverage4729]

Stunning. Nice job on repairing the windscreen. Good choice on the wheels too.

[@pnuhn1]

Love the light mustard color and those mags.. nice!

[@jameshall4385]

it looks great. i can imagine blasting around the countryside in that beast

[@steaminglion4067]

Rob you cracked me up 96. 38% of paint removal! The wheels realy set it off. Shame there's no matching spare. but im not taking anything away from another excellent restoration!

[@JS-1983]

Good looking Jeep, it doesn't need anything more, it's just perfect 🙂 Those wheels are great for that car.

[@OutlawSpeedShop2001]

Cool Jeep! This tires and rims are perfect for this casting

[@MartysWhiteSuit]

Another one of my favourites from way back. Great to see. Finished very well.

[@TerryC69]

Rob, this is one of your best, I think. Really like the finished work.

[@lrg3834]

That paint retarder-thinner combo worked out well. The finish looks great. Great choice on the wheels too.

[@troyhagen4978]

Turned out great! The wheels really suit this casting.

[@jakerademacher4258]

Very nicely done Rob, looks great, the wheels and tires make it jump out, I've done the same casting, fabricated the windshield with pieces of split pins (cotterpins), 3 short and 1 long piece, glued with super glue and baking powder. Turned out pretty good, looking forward to future videos.

[@kathoakes929]

Once again a great restoration. The wheels look just right.

[@wadehendryx7378]

Another great job. Love the old jeeps. Please keep them coming.

[@justinjohnston1505]

Wow, this looks absolutely amazing. Those wheels are perfect. I think this is by far my favourite of all your videos!

[@chubbyschoices9701]

One of my favorite pieces of yours for sure! Wheel choice is perfect!!

[@ThaKillerKlown]

The color turned out great! Very nice looking Jeep!

[@markl.miller3149]

[@djrose3]

Wow! What an awesome job! Better then the original!! Well Done!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@johnkelley9877]

Fantastic job! The wheels really set it off. Thanks for sharing this.

[@turbolivesinmyheart6328]

Hi Rob. Wheels, tires, and the details really make the Jeep have a whole new look and personality. I was wondering about that windshield frame. Looks great.

[@tonyvega4755]

absolutely love it rob. glad it's not the basic yellow the gold really makes it pop!

[@silentdusty73]

Wow Rob, this one started rough, yet once again you’ve made it look great. 👍

[@malcolmmacdonald3992]

Excellent job as usual! The polished base came out great! Touch of dark wash on the front radiator grill might have added some depth! Just nit picking - looks awesome

[@guitarhole]

You make it look easy . Great job . Thanks for posting .

[@soho71]

This has been my favorite! It looks Awesome!!! Love the wheel selection

[@XBASSMADNESS]

I have the exact same Jeep very cool to see a restoration project on it

[@nigelcharlton-wright1747]

Excellent restoration. The wheels suit the model.

[@EvilSage42]

Love the CJ, looks absolutely AMAZING!

[@gregfoster4541]

I can only think of one word to describe this restoration plus and that is"Awesome" Rob what a spectacular job and the gold mixed in with the yellow was a perfect match!! You da man, thanks so much for sharing and as always"Howdy from Texas 😁"!!!

[@bopaintsminis]

The term you are looking for is "resto-mod". Love your work.

[@tonhaogarageramos9265]

Excellent restoration Jeep very cool 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

My favorite one yet! Love the improvements you made.

[@hugoferriz8191]

Great revival! Beautiful 👍

[@hobbyaddict9908]

Wasn't sure about the finish of the paint but it really works well. Good job!

[@Jimmiburn]

Looks absolutely fantastic Rob 👌

[@Sp1k3Sp13g3l_]

That's quite shiny, well done sir.

[@tootall5559]

Rob, I just heard about something called Blue Stuff for molding parts. Not only does it work it's reusable for various parts so that helps negate the cost.

[@brianartillery]

Check out the 'Toy-Polloi' channel - Dave on there has used 'Blue Stuff' in the past, and got great results with it.

[@tootall5559]

@@brianartillery can you tell me one of his that uses it?

[@brianartillery]

@@tootall5559 - Without going through about 100+ videos, I do remember him using it to cast miniscule cap badges for a 12" Action Man/G.I. Joe figure. Look for that video on his channel.

[@tootall5559]

@@brianartillery I knew somebody had before, but I watch many of these guys, I can't remember who did what when.

I love jeeps so this has got to be my favorite so far

[@Chris_Bumpus]

Turned out great! Love the wheel choice!

[@kenbaumer2599]

Great job. Looks like it its ready for a little 4 wheeling.

[@davidparker8221]

Beautifully rendered custom! Well done!

[@urideamabal]

Brilliant job on this resto + 👍

[@pedsab]

Beautiful job, Rob. Love the paint finish.

[@DannysDiecastDisasters]

Great job bud. Those windscreens are well on there with a couple of cast tabs. I thought I'd take the one off my hot rod jeep but it wasn't guna happen.

[@chrisharrison6532]

Nice little project rob it's an oldie someone would have modernised today looks real good with chrome wheels a good head turner on a summers day

[@vollesoep]

You really did a great job on this one, I like the result very much. Cheers

[@Steven_VE9SY]

Perfect tire for it. Looks great!

Really nice CJ6 Jeep Rob , looks great 👍

Love the yellow paint job.

[@seansabhaois]

Top job. It looks stunning🙂👍 Reminds me of miniature Tonka toy.

[@brucek6563]

Beautiful restoration!! Adding the gold to the yellow really gives that Jeep a distinctive look!! The wheels and detail make it look awesome!!! 👍👍👍👍

[@raymonde4272]

Beautifully finished Rob. The silver hubs match the polished base perfectly.

[@AxialFlux]

Good choice on the wheels, and nice color!

Another beautiful job! Love the wheels and details!

Nice work again Rob. I really like the subtle gold tone and those wheel's set it off great Cheer's John

[@Thaezix]

Love the colour, and those wheels...wow. Take my money!

I could see a bit of gold tint in that yellow. Great paint job!

[@MatchboxGarage]

Yeah it's definitely there when you move it around in light

[@TheSteamLocomotive]

@@MatchboxGarage It's a great paint effect.

Exceptional. Just the right touch!

[@robertgrodzki2707]

Very nice and awesome restoration model.

[@gusthomas2423]

I'm a Jeep guy and love this resto! The only thing I would change is maybe paint the interior saddle tan, or even black. Not a fan of the red with yellow.

[@robertcullen6]

Awesome job once more. I tried to do a custom of one of these and messed it up. After seeing this I will give it another try

[@diecastsheriff817]

The slight twist on the yellow is perfect!

[@matthewblasi4489]

Stunning little Jeep

[@SaltyPO]

Looks great! I used to have a CJ much the same color once, but had to sell it. You should have an online store and sell these beauties!

[@maxpayne7238]

Wow really really really nice jeep i iove. The. Color and the tires and rims 👍👍

Very nice little Jeep

[@sohamsengupta6470]

Lacks all wheels but has the tow hook... What? Amazing job as always, and Yeah good job on actually finding your windshield, your u-bend is a hero for not allowing it to pass
