As a model car builder, I can appreciate your improvisation, such as the grilles for the side brake ducts. I've been used many similar dashboard detailing techniques for my cars, as well. I had a vast collection of fine tip markers that I used for the gauges, radio, climate controls, emblems, engine parts, etc. I only wish that I had more patience when I was younger, because most of my cars showed the sloppiness of assembling the entire car in a day, especially my single coat paint jobs that ran and sagged. I haven't done any hobby work in a long time, but I hope to get back in it the next few years.

I get pretty detailed in my builds too, but i gotta admit, the chopping off the headrests and using paperclips for the bars was a new one to me, gonna have to use that lol.

[@dennism644]

I come to the comment section to see all the good or not-so-good comments. im 57 yrs old. I'm deaf. So to be able to understand what everyone else can hear, I have to check out this section first. From what I saw was fabulous. Back in my time, we had plastic models, that ranged from easy to very hard. Then came 2 in one versions. The paints were all in small jars( Testors ). Then the glue tube glues one in a red and white tube and one not toxic in a blue and white tube. then when you became a very good builder you worked up to bottle glue. Decal set. and all the paint colors in can paints. even paint markers.I won Best of Show, best of Customization, and Best Paint. For a 1967 Chevy Nova. Fully detailed engine compartment to full detailed interior. Opening doors hood truck with working lights even interior lights. Miss those days. I still have that car up on my shelf in my man cave. Great video.

[@robin5851]

you know a lot of people might cringe that you made edits but i believe you made it 10 times better by taking the time to acknowledge the designers work in the small details especially turning the fake vents into actual ones. you did the car justice

[@MrLinkDay]

This pulls me back to a Toy Story 2 feeling, so satisfying and a great work. Not only restoring, but detailing it even further!

[@TheZenChii]

Just stumbled on this, and just wanted you to know you are absolutely out of your mind in the best possible way.

[@CableGuyRyv]

the damage still appears to be "artificial" (done to the model after purchase, to make the restoration more involved/interesting) but these recent videos have been much better than the earlier videos. I'm glad I stumbled across this channel edit: you do overuse the flocking, though. Most of these cars do not have so much carpeting

[@rostislavmutovski6111]

You are absolutely right, there is nothing to "restore" here, model is complete just some dirt and solvent/paint remover was used to make it look old.

[@CableGuyRyv]

@@rostislavmutovski6111 that's not terrible, though. They still created a relaxing video upgrading the painting, adding decals, and (too much) carpet texture and I really liked that they opened up the air intakes on the sides. The channel has some other examples of remaking parts with epoxy (missing wheels, for example) and IIRC replacing missing window plastic There is some opportunity to take this up another notch in detail, but a nice video nonetheless.

[@dazzlepaint]

Agree, they used paint stripper, paint would never wear off like this. No point in restoring models you purposely damaged yourself.

[@axl1632]

Well, the dirt looks like it was added for the video, but, this guy unlike other "restoration vehicle scale models" that just focusing on "restoring" JADA F&F vehicles; this one gaves a lot of love with the attention to detail; from the interior's texture, badges, sparkplug wiring on the engine to the tachometer's texture decal. Something that the other "restoration vehicle scales" videos they just repaint the shell with pristine or shiny colors and called a day.

[@ChristieCustom]

Why not move away from the “restore” fraudulent claim. Just upgrade the vehicles quality from the base product

[@virtualmotorheads]

This is hands down one of the most meticulous videos that I've ever watched on KZbin. Amazing job! The only thing I'd give as feedback is that you should ceramic coat the entire body of the car to have that factory mirror finish.
