Wow!!! Thank you so much for the shout out!!! Much appreciated!!

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

You're most welcome. Hope it generates a bit of traffic for your channel! Have a good one. 🍁☕️

[@IvankivDiecastProject]

I really enjoy that you explain which paints you use, which airbrush, how to position things properly, and the right way to prime. It's fantastic-many people don't talk about these details.

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thanks for the fine feedback. It helps me when I see others explain the little steps. 🍁☕️

[@alanschechterly245]

Beautiful restoration. You knocked it out of the park.

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thank you very much, Alan! 🍁☕️

[@Mr-_-Leo]

This is amazing. The ragtop is incredible. Beautiful build.

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thanks, Leo. Don't know why Matchbox didn't put one on there...! 🍁☕️

[@armandoflores462]

What an awesome restomod. The addition of the BBS’s and ragtop really make the build stand out 😎

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thanks, Armando. Usually just a few add ons can make a big difference! 🍁☕️

[@johnswing6293]

I Love The look With The BBS Wheels.Never Would Of Thought To Do That. You Hit That One Out Of The Park!

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thanks, brother. I appreciate the fine feedback. 🍁☕️

[@mikesmodscustoms]

Another excellent build my friend. Thanks for sharing.

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thanks for watching, Mike! 🍁☕️

[@garytasker2038]

Beautiful work, as a British car fan I love seeing these getting a new look. Wheels look great on this

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thank you very much, Gary. Definitely had to go with spoked wheels for the classic Jaguar. 🍁☕️

[@jodezero]

Very sweet. Looks amazing. Old cars are cool. Extreme Makeover. Well done sir.

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thanks, Jody. It's a striking before/after difference thanks to few bits and pieces. 🍁☕️

[@udorechner6846]

Awesome restomod! What a wonderful new old sportscar.

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thanks, Udo. It's a classic that needed some TLC. 🍁☕️

[@richardunicorn7879]

Very nice restoration! Your attention to detail on this one paid off greatly. Looks wonderful.👍

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thanks, Richard. I appreciate the fine feedback. 🍁☕️

[@wickedsmallgarage]

A fabulous resto, love the color and the wheels really set it off.

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thanks so much! It really needed spoked wheels. 🍁☕️

[@SoMoDiecast]

Excellent resto-mod on a beautiful casting Andrew! The added extras really make it pop!

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thanks, Ron. Gotta love our 3D printers for these tiny add ons! 🍁☕️

[@Slavador2393]

Very nice work on this restomod! Thanks Andrew, you did justice for this one!😊

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thank you kindly! The few extra touches gave it much more accuracy. 🍁☕️

[@lotharrenz4621]

this casting really lives up with some details added. :) and BBS spoke wheels are like jeans: they are good for everyone. ;)

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thanks, Lothar. I was happy that the 3D printer did such fine detail on the wheels. The Jaguar definitely needed them! 🍁☕️

[@schottys-diecast]

That is a huge upgrad! Great job! I love it!!! CH 😉

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thanks, Yves. CH is a mystery to most, I think... 🍁☕️🇨🇭

[@rjrobles1242]

Now that I’ve seen the video, I must say I really enjoyed this! So beautiful! I loved this Matchbox as a child and I even had a couple other Matchbox versions: the Yesteryear version and the 1/32 model kit. I also remember the very much liking box art on the superfast model. Thanks for bringing back fond memories, Andrew!

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Glad you enjoyed it, RJ. There are so many memories locked up in these little toys! 🍁☕️

[@bigcharliesmodelgarage296]

Absolutely beautiful restoration Andrew. 😊

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thanks, Charlie! Hope you're doing great and enjoying the weekend, brother. 🍁☕️

[@Woulda-Shoulda-Coulda-Was-HWRL]

WOW, really amazing job. I was thrilled when you added the spare tire, I too dislike cast spares, and your addition of a “real” spare, as well as the upgrades to the original wheels would have been enough to put this casting over the top. But then, the glass, the convertible top, and the lights and and plates, and the “normal” detailing. Magnificent! Great way to start my Sunday, thank you for posting this!

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thanks so much, my man. Lots of extras went in to this makeover. Each one makes a difference. 🍁☕️

[@timosdinkydetailing]

Very nice restomod Andrew, and a satisfying result. Cheers

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thanks, Timo! Hope all is well in Scarborough. 🍁☕️

[@douglasrollwage2160]

One of my favourites so far!

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Mine too! 🍁☕️

[@matchboxmark8191]

You make it look so easy my friend! This turned out amazing!

[@joeholloway1386]

Nice restoration, details and paint job 👌 👍

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thank you, Joe. 🍁☕️

[@jordanlane6856]

Beautiful work on the restomod! I send enough packages internationally that I know CH is Switzerland.

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Ding, ding. Score! 🍁☕️

[@CrazyCat229]

Great looking model. Switzerland.

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thanks for watching! 🍁☕️

[@skippullen8667]

That looks great, Andrew! Love the wheels and the details you put into this build.

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thanks. True words. Side mirrors. Dashboard instruments. Stick shifts. There's always room for more details! 🍁☕️

[@JethrosGarage-op4bo]

Another beautiful restoration Andrew, very nice work, love the wheels!

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thanks, Jeff. I was happy that the 3D printer could capture those details! This style of classic really needs them. 🍁☕️

[@BrianMcKnight68]

Wow! What a transformation. Perfect!

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thanks, Brian. Glad you enjoyed this one so much! 🍁☕️

[@texasdiecastcustoms]

This is my new favorite you have restored/modified. That paint and the 3d printed wheels look amazing along with the lights.

[@piston_broke_diecast_customs]

Nope sorry I musta missed the fix on the front fenders. LOL

[@piston_broke_diecast_customs]

Oh

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thanks, Todd! It all came together on this one. 🍁☕️

[@diecastloonie6055]

Turned out awesome, very nicely done.👍👍

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thanks, Michael. Gotta keep the classics alive! 🍁☕️

[@simplekustomsbyeddiepapand1838]

Outstanding job as always Andrew!! Thanks for the video!!!

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thanks for watching, Eddie! See you next week for the SHGBO graveyard diorama. 🍁☕️

[@SimplemanMustangDiecast]

Very nice build Andrew. Much better than the original. 👍✌️🇺🇸🇨🇦

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thanks, Steve! 🍁☕️

[@davidparker8221]

While I knew the CH was for Switzerland, I didn't know why. Thanks to the explanation in a prior comment, now I know. Jim Silva just posted a Lesney MB Removal Truck restoration that I watched just before yours. His more of a true restoration than yours, but I probably would have done even more customizing and detailing (if I had your skills) than even you did. I'm grateful for your solutions showing us possible options even if we wouldn't make the same choices. You show us potential or possibilities! I can be entertained and taught in a 13:21 session! God bless you and Petra and your Austrian Maple branches! Have fun with your toys!

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thanks, David. I always see changes I should have made, in retrospect. Side mirrors and dashboard instruments would have added to this one. Oh well. There's always the next one! 🍁☕️

[@rondilloldlinemodels]

That's 100% better nice job Andrew as usual. Keep the content coming love your channel.

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thank you, Ron. You can count on one a week out of Switzerland! 🍁☕️

[@jchayes7325]

That was one beautiful Jaguar you did keep up the good work have a good one and God bless say hi to Petra for us

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thanks, JC. I sure will. 🍁☕️

[@garyaguilar8716]

Another wonderful video and resto job. Your videos are like therapy 💙

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thanks, Matthew. That's nice to hear. It's therapeutic for me to make them. Win, win! 🍁☕️

[@oliverhaz4549]

truly a masterpiece...great finish sir andrew... mirrors could have made it look like a real car in pictures.. Thanks for sharin..

[@ricobobe]

Awesome Andrew! 👊❤

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thanks, Rico. Glad you enjoyed it! 🍁☕️

[@charlesdiecastgarage]

Very very nicely done, Andrew! I love the 3D printed wheel choice. Wire spoked wheels are a must! My ‘65 had them with a center knock off

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thanks, Charles. I actually printed a set of centre knock offs for this one, but they were SO SMALL I couldn't really use them. Shame. It would have added to the realism. 🍁☕️

[@TheGargoylesDen]

Absolutely gorgeous!

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thanks, brother! 🍁☕️

[@geoffersongeofferies477]

Sure it’s a beautiful casting. But, that may be your best restoration Andrew! Very impressive!

[@neilcummings9939]

Amazing jobshes gorgeous the extras you did make it perfect. Had to know so googled it ch is for Switzerland. Hope all is well

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thanks, Neil. Yes, CH is Confoederatio Helvetica (Latin) for Switzerland. 🍁☕

[@neilcummings9939]

@MapleLeafCustoms said that too very cool

[@davidmaggard9403]

Hello Andrew what a great build love those type Europen cars and those tires and wheels combo was perfect you need to start saleing.those id just about say you could sale them about a fast as you could make them .and do the garage type stuff like tools boxes .it's a thought.hope ever one is doing great around your home Andrew be a looking out for next week's vid 😅

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thanks, David. I always appreciate your feedback. Take care, good buddy! 🍁☕️

[@jordanabraham1290]

Hey Andrew, Amazing job! I love all the new details and the folded roof was inspired! My only question is about the headlamps. Aren't they supposed to be on either side of the grille? Other than that, one of my faves!

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thanks, Jordan. Yup, they could have been spaced a bit further apart, but the support arms and fender flares dictated this size. 🍁☕️

[@piston_broke_diecast_customs]

I am not sure Andrew but the front fenders looked like they were bent and touching the front tires. Although everything still looks fantastic. Thanks for the journey…

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

That's the first thing I thought of too, upon examining this one, Lindsay, and wondered how I'd straighten them out. But a quick look through the Google Images show that's how the fenders are cast. Matchbox got that right. I printed the same size wheels as the original (14 mm) and there is some tire rub in the front, but they're free and it rolls. 🍁☕️

[@MiniKITT1989]

CH was Switzerland right ? This is a wow build !

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Yes, CH is Switzerland! Thanks for watching, Lars. 🍁☕️
