MATCHBOX Restoration No.73b Ferrari race car 1962

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

Awesome restoration, Marty !!!!!!!!!! Absolutely loved this episode !!!!!!!

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@treebuck]

I laughed all thru the race, Marty. You guys did a great job!

[@StenniZ77]

I almost ended up with burned spaghetti sauce because of it. XD Excellent outro! lol

[@lancerevell5979]

Good little makeover, even with the problems. Cute race scene! Kevin is in fine form.

[@50goingon15]

Aside from the wonderful restoration work you do, I think the well paced editing is the most engaging aspect of your videos. I would be remiss however if I didn't also give credit to your entertaining script and narration. Such a joy to watch. Thanks again Marty and crew!

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

Awesome, thank you!

[@johnf.kennedy5454]

I agree. Your set-ups, lighting and editing are some of the best out there. Your videos have become the standard that others are judged against.

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

@@johnf.kennedy5454 Thankyou for saying John I really and honestly appreciate your feed back!

[@Gebskris]

Hi Marty I was wondering how many people help you with your videos? Is it just you and Kevin?

[@exlibrisas]

Beautiful home, clear picture, editing, narration, newspapers, format, Kevin skits, serious, yet light tone, history of Matchbox and passion for what you do. You are truly a golden standard in this Matchbox restoration field on KZbin.

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

Wow, thank you!

[@murrij]

Agreed! It's all why I'm a Patreon supporter!

[@georgecunningham9175]

Mate, your videos could NEVER be a "complete loss". Not when the videos are as informative and entertaining as they are. Thanks for another great episode!

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

Thanks George, I honestly really appreciate your feedback, I dropped the ball on this one but tried to make it entertaining none the less!

[@castrogrilo9032]

Learn and laugh. Great work. Thank you for showing mistakes, that's a good way of learning.

[@johnwilliams2711]

Come for the resto. Stay for the theatre. 😊👍👍

[@MatchboxResurrection]

Nice tip the shrinking tube to mark the depth of the drill .... Great job on both even if you don't think so. All the best Marty

[@neilcummings9939]

loved the race and bloopers. both casting looks great

[@ThomasFMoser]

Hi Marty, Well done - always appreciate guys sharing things going not the planned ways. Nothing better to learn from. So - thanks a lot for this one! And as always : seeing Kevin again with his evil mind is a nice laughter. Thanks from the other side of our world, all the best to you, Tom

[@BOABModels]

Sorry things didn't turn out like you wanted. I'm a scale Modeller mainly but I do have a very similar die cast Lotus Coventry climax. Maybe I will try to give it a makeover one of these days!

[@tygrkhat4087]

I agree that the color was as close to Ferrari red as possible, both cars look great, save for the decal problem. And that Kevin is such a scoundrel. Stay safe!

[@arnoldtolker3505]

Das Rennen mit Kevin: BRÜLLER!

[@paul-sparky-sparr4160]

Kann man so sagen😁. Obwohl Kevin eigentlich der unkoalafizierteste Rennfahrer aller Zeiten ist. 😜😂 (You could say that 😁. Although Kevin's actually the most unkoalafied race-driver ever. 😜😂)

[@manylezama9676]

That race is the funniest yet... Impressive, most impressive.

[@curtisarmstrong6521]

I’m soooo glad you have fun with your cars Marty 🇨🇦

[@Juan_Doooh]

Great race scene Marty, keep up the good work. You’ll get Kevin someday.

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

A FABULOUS restoration job!!... They both look better than they did when they left the Lesney Factory!!.. Keep up the great work Bud!!.

[@jwarehouse1]

That Kevin won the race is not surprising, as he gets a lot more practice driving at high speeds with all the police chases he's involved in, and he also has a 100+ pound weight advantage on you. Maybe he'll give you a rematch when you redo the car. I think Phil Hill would be proud of Kevin's great skills behind the wheel driving his Championship car.

[@ferolcat2009]

I'm not surprised he won either, considering he stitched Marty up with an oil slick on the track. The cheating little bugger..lol

[@jwarehouse1]

@@ferolcat2009 I think this younger generation that Kevin was raised in was taught first place or nothing. Second place is the first loser. Win if you can, lose if you must, but always cheat .LOL!

[@toonman1971]

Another great video Marty. I just watched with my 15 year old daughter. Gotta give her something good to watch on KZbin.

[@PhantomDragonEternal]

Thank you for everything you do, Marty! You made the best of a bad situation as far as the paints you can get, and you're still putting forth the effort to provide quality content. I get a sense of much-needed normalcy when watching your videos, and we all need that right about now with what's going on.

[@foreverplastickits138]

*Kevin is the winner! Can we believe it?! Incredible (and the restoration too!)😃👍👍*

[@2H80vids]

That photo of the park and lake is beautiful, great shot.👍

[@robertsimmons3336]

Love the race scene! The visuals were awesome!

[@normanrowe2831]

Hello Marty, always fun, entertaining, and informative. That’s why we keep coming back. Thanks, Marty and all involved.

[@johnkelley9877]

What a great way to end the weekend with a Marty's Matchbox Makeover! The Ferrari looks great and while I know you had issues with the paint they both look very good. Thanks for sharing this and keep an eye on Kevin.

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@michaelpeel9347]

Super gluing the wires will not work because the super glue wicks between the wires out to the ends and glues all the wires together. Here is an idea for you. When using the a wire wheel/cup to clean up a casting. Get a large storage bin/tub of clear plastic or cut a viewing window in it and cover with plexiglass, cut access holes for your hands and tool cords etc kinda like a sanding booth and polish the casting under that bin/tub so the wires are trapped under it when they come off, get a neodymium magnet to collect up the loose ones. That little casting came out amazing Kevin is a little stinker greasing up the track like that. Thanks for sharing Mike from Texas

[@davidsolmundson5705]

Once again, another awesome video Marty. To bad you lost it on that corner. Have a shot, I think you need it🥃. Can't wait for the next video. Stay safe.

[@steveburrows6079]

Still watch all your stuff marty it’s absolutely amazing what you’re doing , I still look back on my truck you transformed, I think I was the first to send you something to save , your doing amazing mate , I’m in Wollongong next year I may just knock your door for a cuppa ,

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

Come on around if able, would be good to catch up!

[@andrewmather1354]

Looks really good Marty. Your humility and humble manner makes a very good video indeed. Keep them coming! Stay safe regards Andrew

[@kerryg4119]

Really nice models. I love that style race car from when I was a kid. Takes me back to watching races on TV. The models came out nice considering using paint you weren't familiar with. Enjoyed the racing at the end. Great photography and choreography. Thanks Marty.

[@davidbeeson1178]

Well done my friend, she is beautiful once again. That heat shrink idea is brilliant.

[@craigcolavito5606]

As an American, I love this!! Go Phil Hill!!

[@georgeshelton6281]

Can I just say something to Marty? The reason why I'm hardly ever interested in watching you; restore these old Matchbox toy cars is that, I took up interest into getting into the business of selling plastic models, of all shapes and sizes. That's in the very way, how I want to run a hobby store. It would be pretty radical also, if you would create paint that changes color.

[@cfishel15]

My favorite Matchbox car of all time - thanks for the restoration video, Marty!

[@jurgenhunke5062]

Hello Marty.Greetings from Hamm/Westf.in Germany.I have been wachting your Vides for many months.At first i always had to smile because there was someone there who repaired small cars.But then i watched more and more videos of you and got more and excidet.Now i can`t wait for a new one to come.I tried it too...i better leave it.Sorry for my bad english,i had to use a translation programm.

Great restoration Marty the race was a good one that Kevan bested you again !!

[@micheldeluzu389]

Me encanta tu sentido de humor I love your humor sense

[@chargoldsmith5112]

Great job Marty! Really Boss to see Kevin and you at it again even though Kevin seems to always get he best of you..... looking forward to your future builds. 🐨

[@beltfed4624]

Great custom work, and great race! I think the other guy had the advantage, he looked a little short, more aerodynamic, LOL! FUN!!! 👍

[@owenoulton9312]

My absolutely favourite F1 race car! I got a 1/43 scale one of these for Christmas in 1962! Corgi, I think.

[@ebombaci77]

The restoration may not have gone to plan but the end race seqence was a riot! Love your work.

[@johnf.kennedy5454]

Another excellent restoration! As a fellow modeler I appreciate your attention to detail and the ever clean work space. Too bad on the decals. It was difficult to see the problems when the car was displayed on the carousel but was much more visible in the "race" close ups. One suggestion, white primers brightens up the paint of bright and vibrant colors, due to the fact the paints are really translucent. I suggest that you repaint the red on both cars and undercoat / prime only one with the white. I think you'll see it makes a big difference. This is a technique I was taught in design school. Thanks again. JFK, in Cincinnati, Ohio USA

[@snookman9112]

Marty, your videos are a joy to watch.

[@rjmiller8330]

The heat shrink is genius!

[@youngbloodhobby2103]

Just love the endings with KEVIN! 🐨

[@themichaelvortex4784]

Thanks for sharing the Ferrari makeovers even with the slight mistakes, Marty. They still look pretty decent anyway. Kevin and his shenanigans...😂 Best Green-screen work yet! Thanks for all you do. Hope you all have a great week.👍🏼🤘🏼😎

[@130crowd]

You’re just too hard on yourself, Marty! This is a stinker of a model, and the paint let you down. Even so, the restorations were great. The green screen blooper reel is priceless!

[@ronrussell4850]

Enjoy your videos immensely. Cheers from North Carolina in the U.S.

[@ripvanwinkle3509]

😁 Excellent! Lot of effort on your part and a lot of fun had here. Thank you 👍

[@davidneilson3508]

They both turned out fantastic. That Kevin is a dastardly little devil 👍👍😊

[@davidp2888]

I thought for sure there'd be a gag involving the cat, but Kevin showed up! Great job on the car, I love the red.

[@Doug6412]

Yay. Marty and Kevin are back. Great stuff.

[@johnnybaughman7593]

You did a fantastic job.. thank you for such an inspiring video

[@jacopor.grandis8848]

Great video. Nice idea the "heat shrink" for drilling depth! Excellent job on the steering wheel. I enjoyed the final race, hope you have recovered from injuries ☺️

[@joeholloway1386]

Nice restoration and paint job 👌

[@glorfendell2967]

Oh man...I love this channel! Laughed so hard I woke up the wife. Thanks Marty for everything you do.

[@angeljamais8541]

The race sequence was awesome!!!

[@benglasby8014]

My very first matchbox restoration was one of these! They’re great.

[@stanparsley9186]

Love the hammer sound. And the race was some of your best special effects. 😃

[@russellwatson8145]

BEST EVER....KEVIN NEEDS TO GET HIS OWN SHOW....LOL

[@samisusamirus]

Old race cars are very stylish and the body itself is wonderful

[@shdwstrm]

Oh Kevin....Cheaters never prosper. Love the extras at the end. I’ve had problems with enamel paint not curing on metal bars for a piece of a costume I made. That part rested on my shoulders and I had the uncured, sticky paint pulling and rubbing at my skin all weekend. It was not fun and I ended up removing all of the paint and covering the whole thing in vinyl.

[@leegoldeneagle9003]

Hello. Marty. Good. To. See. U. An. Yours. Are. Ok. Love. Watching. Your. Videos. Very. Much. The. Race. Was. Fun. As. Well. 😃. Lee

[@johntuttle5396]

Kudos for the camera crews' work out at the racetrack - quite exciting up close action! There is a saying in America, don't know if you have it in your neck of the wood's - "Payback is a b----." I have a feeling that Kevin should keep his helmet handy if he knows what's good for him. At the very least, he should be on short rations with the eucalyptus leaves for a while! Did like your idea of using the heat-shrink tubing as a depth stop. Carry on, mate!

[@ovidiuschley3346]

Excelent restoration for that Ferrari Race car (F1).Great Koala intervention !😁👍

[@ralphwest8156]

It was going so well' ...still they look great and worth the race at the end. brilliant' thanks for sharing.

[@Gebskris]

I could watch this video over and over again....! Actually I have

[@thomasheckhaus205]

G'day Marty, a very clever video race with Kevin. The restoration was well done as well. Regards, Tom USA

[@richardf2208]

Excellent Marty! Always looking forward to watching your videos on a Sunday morning! Your creativity and talent is unmatched. And videos are entertaining! Keep up the great work! Greetings from New York USA!😁😁

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@BoGijsel]

Hi marty, don't feel bad if it doesn't go exactly how you want. They still came out looking great

[@descendantsofgrayskull1914]

It looks good to me and despite what you call flaws you still show an awesome car. Love the race too

[@Strontiumdog2000ad]

Loved the ending on this one 😎👍 Funnily enough I’ve just restored this exact model as well, just need a driver n decals to finish it off, I had a couple of happy accidents that you might be interested in, my small hand chuck handle broke but I found it then fitted in my electric screwdriver and that is spot on for drilling out posts with much more control! Also I had a button nose seize with a micron to go, went to drill out then when flange was nearly gone I realised I could just hit it with a tiny socket and it now totally looks like the original rivet!

[@rebeccashearer6057]

Kevin is one naughty koala. Very creative.

[@emmanuelss250]

Es mi ferrari favorita!! Sos el mejor. Saludos desde Argentina

[@petermconnolly]

Glad you raced a F1 car in anger in Australia this year. Perhaps as homage to World Champ Lewis Hamilton you repaint as a Mercedes Silver Arrow number 44. Then have a rematch with naughty Kev in his Ferrari and you beat him fair and square. I’m a huge fan, going live on KZbin soon. I will send you a Dinky kit to paint in your old squadron colors. I’ll be in touch. Loved the special effects, especially on the spinning wheels with the racing stripes! Big love Peter.

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

Pete connoly? - Your names rings a bell ....are you ex RAF by any chance?

[@udorechner6846]

Hello Marty, in the end every of your Videos is worth to be posted. The result of the shown car is way not to bad and the problems shown will help other restaurators to prevent them. Nice clip, and you should have learned never to trust Kevin! even in a challenge or race.... Greetings from Germany .

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

Excellent screen work.. the race was epic🤣🤣👍👍

[@colinp2238]

Kevin is a dangerous little bugger. The Ferrari looked great, you can see the decal is ripped inn the race close up, pity that after all your hard work, well done.

[@dansmodelrailways7886]

A good restoration marty, one word about decals. Once applied and the water has dried, try coating the model with satin varnish. This helps seal the decals to the model. Don’t rely on the adhesive of the decal alone it’s simply not strong enough, and you could find that over time they’ll peel off.

[@scalefinishes]

love the restoration, those old Ferrari F1 cars are wild. With the enamels, lighter coats with longer drying times between coats works best. It should take 4 or so light coats to cover and give you a nice sheen.

[@ignaciohenao4110]

Thank you Marty, as always a joy to watch. My best wishes to you and your crew from Colombia

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

Looks like some of those parts will require a bit of metalwork though..

[@Toboter]

This is a great model and a wonderful restoration. And the race at the end is so funny! 😅

[@mitchellmunden682]

Marty, I have used a food dehydrator to cure enamel paint for many years of building scale model cars. I also use them for Matchbox and Hot Wheels cars.

[@benglasby8014]

Hi Marty. I used Tamiya pink primer and Tamiya TS-8 Italian Red straight out of the spray cans in mine. Very forgiving paint.

[@Foxbat916]

A very nice model and a very nice car in real life; before Ferrari shredded them all, that is. A silver lining I see is that when you go back to the decals you may place the one that goes across the top of the nose and at an angle for the full vintage look.

[@benday1218]

Marty, excellent entertainment, and they still turned out ok - just one of those things - you can apply your processes in the same way each time, but sometimes things just don't go to plan...

[@georgeshelton6281]

I also got this to say to Marty; I've just booed Batman long ago, starting back then in June 4th, 1990. I'm starting to support these characters; it's all about this classic Hannah Barbera semi live action cartoon series, it's called 'The New Adventures of Huck Finn.'

[@oheso]

Your failures exceed my triumphs! (and I loved the finale)

[@xr8rick]

Nice builds and gave me a chuckle at the end. Next time loosen Kevin’s wheels nuts before the race.

[@RaceBannon114]

Mighty fine entertainment and damn nice work, too. Thank you , sir.
