MATCHBOX Restoration No 6c Euclid Quarry Truck 1963

[@bob-ny6kn]

1. Marty for President of the world. 2. I like the ending scene with your current project in its imagined natural habitat.

[@stimpy_thecat]

Miraculous restoration! Even with your skill that had to be tough. *applause*

[@mr.sideburns2031]

Anyone else laugh at the headlines of the newspapers in the spray booth?

[@cj6581]

YES! I had to pause it to try and read that better! :)

[@hillbillypeakgarage6797]

Yes lol

[@kathyflorcruz552]

He does that all the time. I love it!

[@BCTCanadian]

Absolutely... love the random and unexpected comedy

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

“Watch me loose my clothes” ... bet that got lots of attention too.. Naked person finds deceased game player in cabinet. Has too much free beer, and joins movement to ban plastic bags...

[@rexdaileg6573]

Marty is that cool uncle we all want but don't deserve. You're a gem mate

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

This restoration is courtesy of 'Steve Burrows'. - Thanks mate!

[@jeffreyrivers1983]

What got you started with repairing toy cars?

[@steveburrows6079]

Loved seeing you not give in Marty and the end result was justified

[@alainparent1337]

Can you get Evaporust in your region? Soak rusted part in this overnight.

[@robertlee9395]

That was a nice restoration Marty. I had that model when I was a kid. Ran the wheels wobbly. You need to put the drill bit further into the drill chuck so the drill bit doesn't flex and run off center.

I am from a village 3 miles from newport! Small world!

[@aaronking488]

One of the best you've done... looks great

[@wintersbattleofbands1144]

I paused at 1:04. Do it in two colors! Do it in two colors! It's awesome that it was even found. OK, back to the video. Edit: Done watching. Thank you for all the work and putting gravel in it. Toys are only happy when played with.

[@robertmorrison2011]

Hi Marty, thank you for sharing your Matchbox restorations. You have awaken a love for these cars and trucks I enjoyed very much as a young boy in the 1960's. My collection has been lost for many years. Watching your show has brought back so many great memories. I like telling my wife which cars and trucks you have restored that were in my collection. My first Matchbox was the army half track my grandmother gave me in about 1964. Thank you so much for restoring these wonderful memories. Wishing all the best from Dallas, Texas. Robert.

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

Thanks Robert from Dallas, what a great post. Glad that you are lovin' the vids. How does your wife feel about you mentioning which cars were in your collection? Mine would tell me to 'Shut up'! Ha Ha!, Marty.

[@fundsberg]

Great to see that you watched the show! It wouldn't of happened without you!

It was awesome to find this upload video when I got home from work. The dump truck turned out great and love your new stripper. Thanks for your humor

[@donaldswink6259]

I have that Euclid truck, I paid a dollar for mine and sanded it down and painted it lime green including the center of the wheels. Those trucks were built 25 miles from where I live. Beautiful restoration.

[@dirigindo1vw504]

Hi, im from Brazil!!! Thanks for another vídeo!!! Amazing!! Thanks!

[@ceciliaFX]

That little yellow truck is so happy to be loved once again. Excellent job.

[@railtrolley]

Great job Marty! Reforming and re-drilling the broken hinge on the tipper body is a brilliant repair. I will have to revisit my Matchbox K11 Fordson Tractor and trailer and do the same. I repaired the tipper by glueing a piece of metal next to the broken hinge to put the pivot pin through - but I'm not happy with it as a repair. I was strolling through ebay, when i found the K11 set going for very cheap: tipper body missing off trailer, all tyres missing, and the trailer towing eye missing. Steering wheel bent. Later, a job lot of tipper bodies came up for sale: one of which was the correct one. I got this and sold on the other tipper bodies I did not need. Repro tyres and a towing eye got the set coupled up again and rolling. I used a rivet nail for the hinge too. Carefully straightened the steering wheel, and another Matchbox model was saved. Probably ended up spending more on it, than if I had bought a different K11 set in better condition.

[@b.2221]

I had this truck as a kid, and it is an absolute pleasure to watch your restoration skills my friend. Thank you for that Sir 👍 Tam.

[@redbarchetta20]

You didn’t just restore this. You brought it back from the dead.

[@ZiddersRooFurry]

Truckromancy. :D

[@ninkkole884]

I love the way you present your videos with your unique gentle humour and always look forward to seeing them. Please spare a thought for all girl households in the 50's and 60s who were never given cars as presents. Your videos more than make up for it. Thank you. 👱

[@jamesdoble7580]

wow your dedicated, and that truck is happy not to be forgotten anymore.

[@fisherman10101]

Lazarus, the quarry truck, back from the dead....great restoration!

I drove a 50 ton Euclid haul truck,when I started at the rock quarry. They were all Euclid green, ugly color actually. Great job Marty! Great video!

Hello Mr. Marty's, I found your U-Tube channel by accident. I have watch you remanufactured several Matchboxs. I have determined that you do OUTSTANDING WORK, keep it up young man. Anthony. Inglewood, California. U.S.A. 🐢🇺🇸🐢🇺🇸🐢🇺🇸

[@andypreston1524]

This is by far your best video yet Marty......once things started breaking I woud have given up and opened a tinny! But you cracked on and ended up with a fine restoration thanks to your skills. Cheers for sharing mate !! 👍👍

[@joeayala4812]

Not only are you a brilliant restorer Mister Marty you're quite the comedian also keep it up please.

[@ianmacreth7906]

Another gem, Marty! Thanks! Roy

[@christopherward5065]

Great work! You give these mass produced toys the value they deserve. The design work you reveal in the tear down is so surprising. These were such desirable, pocketable and inexpensive toys and they survived a hard life, in most cases. It would be fun to remake the little yellow boxes they came in too. The most amazing Lesney Matchbox toys moments included the masses of them donated to Blue Peter appeals. They raised huge sums of money. I feel like collecting some just because they are worthy of huge respect. Thank you for recreating that box fresh moment we got when we tipped our latest bijou toy out of its tiny yellow box and loved it like a friend. Your channel is full of lovely nostalgic surprises.

[@ScottDLR]

Looks like this one was perhaps your biggest challenge ever. Well done as usualy!

[@birdie399]

Great work. Just shows what can be achieved with a bit of swearing and a lot of skill. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

These metal models that captivated our imagination all those years ago are brought back to life from Marty The Magition...

[@davidcarr4991]

I think those wheels were already cracked by the expanding rust...

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

I agree, my thoughts exactly. Thanks for watching Dave!

[@davidheth4446]

The rust was the only thing holding them together! :)

[@awclark3]

Or simple dried out .

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

@@derek763 Yes, still trying to perfect.

[@Donleecartoons]

Any thoughts about resin-casting replacement wheels -- of course, you'd need RTV silicone to make molds, the resin to make the casts, and of course at least one good wheel in each size for use as the master.

[@TheLizzardlicks]

soak it in 50=50 vinigar and water for about 10 days the rust will be gone,,,, criky marty ya have restord just about every matchbox toy i had as a kid thank's mate ya bringing back a lot of memories for an old 55 year old bloke

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

I know! - I'm the same age and I was born in England and also had many of these models as I grew up! - Great memories for us all!!!

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

Thanks nethalus for your encouraging comment.

[@scottgoodman8993]

I see references to your work all over other people you tube sites.

[@nathanmayer87]

I always imagine that if a toy were alive, how much it would appreciate being salvaged and brought back to its former glory, and put in a place of honor on a shelf to be appreciated and admired. Conversely I also imagine its silent screams of agony as it's being slowly mutilated to achieve said former glory.

[@steveburrows6079]

I agree Nathan, when I found this I knew exactly where to send it ,

[@alydalyda]

Hi Marty! I love your videos and I recently recommended your channel to a friend who became an instant fan! Coca Cola will eat rust; I’m not sure how long it would take as compared to the WD-40 but it’s worth a shot. Great makeover and I look forward to the next project! Cheers.

One of the best video of your restoration marty,all of your video is awesome by the way..

[@TheCardiganR]

Well done Marty, another great restoration. I would probably have given up on that one and chucked it in the bin. Or re-buried it in a forest in New South Wales. There's a word for that, but I'm buggered if I know what it is. And if there isn't then there should be.

[@pollygardiner5669]

Not New South Wales, South Wales in Britain, in Newport.

[@ronbishop1068]

another gem.....for what it is worth when soldering I coat both ends to be soldered with flux the using cored solder just heat the iron, coat with solder and touch the joint to be soldered-seems to work a treat for me....great restoration with just enough silliness -helps us get by in these weird times we live in!

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

Thanks for the tips Ron, I was a bit rusty when it came to the soldering.

[@oldmanhuppiedos]

Oh again a beautiful model, I also had as a child. To solve rust, cola is also good. But you are very handy in restoring, compliment.

[@slackjaw703]

Amazing transformation! I was born in 64 as well. Wish I could be rejuvenated like that. I too look like I’ve been buried in a forest for decades, but I’m betting it’s gonna take more than some sanding paint and glue to do the job.

[@cass276]

Instead of paying top dollar for 'polystripper' most store sell there own version, which is MUCH cheaper and does the same job (I get mine from Wilco's). also try using vinegar to dissolve the rust, it works fine.

[@hank1556]

I use vinegar around the garage for rust removal. but how do you prevent flash rust from forming afterwards?

[@Donleecartoons]

Is there ANYTHING vinegar cannot do?

[@OceanandStars1178]

Marty you take this to new heights. What you do is well beyond restoration! The repairs you do are pure MAGIC. And love the sense of humor, and your commentary is also extremely therapeutic.
