I do love watching these model restoration channel videos. However, I'm old enough to remember watching 'The Dukes of Hazzard' in first run episodes. And now, seeing the 'General Lee' getting restored, I have the car horn tune 'Dixie' stuck in my head.🤣
I have the same model .The model when finished looks exactly like it was at the start but with spare parts ,tools & paint it can be changed to look like a new car .

@@ShannonSouthAfrica I only assume so based on the fact that they look like realistic wrecks and nothing like typical broken or neglected toys a child would leave behind. Rust and patina for sure and maybe a bent wheel or two and a flattened cab. But these cars look more like real car collision damage, the dirt is too random and the separations never damage non reparable components. It's not a bad thing, it's clever and makes good content. I'm sure the first were natural restorations.

It completely removes all of the charm when someone "restores" a model that obviously has not aged naturally and has been artificially aged and purposely destroyed.

I agree, it looked faked to me. No way the clear plastic parts could look that good when the rest of the toy was that beat up. Also the chrome "restoration" could not look that good with an airbrushed paint, when made they would have used a vacuum deposition process to metal plate the plastic to look like chrome and clearly the finished restoration also had parts that were factory processed the same way. The only hobbyist finish that can look remotely like that would something you apply and buff (not airbrush) but even those finishes look more like dull aluminum than chrome.
