I can't believe he went through the effort to undo a lot of great work. When the vid first started, i was amazed how real the "old" car looked!

[@vagiffaradjev1873]

It was perfectly weathered!

[@cnewell1971]

Exactly..i would have left it like it was

Realy never seen a model of a rust junkyard car before.

[@markheit5870]

This could have been the center piece of a great diorama. That may of been what it was. Throw a net over Restore DIY before he damages or destroys something important.

@@cnewell1971 agree...it's like a real barn find car..

[@user-mj7gm6gj9v]

That one primer black door at the beginning was truly authentic!!!!

[@bob_._.]

Way to go! You took one of the most masterfully detailed model cars I've ever seen and turned it into something truly mundane.

[@modelermark172]

That's exactly what I was thinking while I was watching this. I thought I was going to see the restoration of a neglected, damaged and discarded model car 'survivor;' not the desecration of a well-thought out, highly-detailed weathering job (especially that body rust!) The skills of this model builder are NOT in question - they are excellent, no doubt. But the next time they get their hands on a model like that, it would be better if they used their skills to build a "barn find" diorama, instead . . . .

[@brokensuave]

Yeah it must have taken many hours to create the 'abandoned car' look, which was very appealing. Then it was all undone, and became just another boring model. The first iteration was unique and interesting, it caught the eye. I get that its not my channel or content, so each to their own. Its still good workmanship, just seems an odd thing to do. I would definitely enjoy watching a video showing how the 'abandoned car' went from regular model kit, to unique art piece.

[@patmx5]

And I hate to be a nit picker, but that engine color was more Ford than Pontiac - in '65 Pontiac engines were painted a non metallic light blue color.

[@djloungemonkey]

I hate to be the ass hat here but everyone has what they like maybe he likes showroom quality stuff was it heart breaking to watch him remove the patina and hard work absolutely but to each their own

[@kristurner389]

Critique the model car restoration video you do....bottom of the barrel you are.

[@packfan1946]

GM would be proud of the restoration job you performed on that model of a Pontiac GTO. Well done.

[@wayne6777]

GM sells vehicles that can’t make it to 100,000 miles now. They don’t care about anything.

[@horrido666]

I hope you realize the original model was intended to look like a junk yard car, and the goofball who owns this channel butchered good work.

[@randomgamer8543]

The best part is having seen pro work on the art before,and after...I can appreciate both sides👏👌

[@rastaman5105]

What a beautiful model of the Pontiac GTO 1966 car !!

[@Chris-hs8qh]

Man I would love to see the video of that original look being done. Whoever did that had some serious skills!

[@fmk353]

One of the most beautiful cars ever built... and the model was restored to reflect just how awesome the early model GTOs were. Nicely done.

[@Mechanicalinventor5110]

Creative in restoring old things. I try to imitate what you do. Thank you ❤❤❤

[@kelabangputih]

I love before and after restoration, before restoration is actually good for making diorama

[@saulreynoso8439]

It's a shame, someone went to all that work to make it look abandoned; dirty paint job, bubbling rust, mismatched door, for sale sign, then to undo their hard labor.

Probably one of my all-time favorite cars. I own the same body style a 1967 Cutlass Supreme. The weather in job with superb when you own a model railroad that's one of the things you do. So the job on the car was phenomenal as a weather job. But he needs to make a video. I think I would have left it with the rust.

[@joelbeck6600]

First of all , I like the restoration that you did on that car . However , I kind-of liked the car the way it was ! I liked the fact ..that it looked real the first time. It looked like a real car . The restoration turned it into a model car . Just my opinion 🤷

[@paulofelipebbraga9634]

[@craigcaldwell9181]

Pins, eh? That's what hold my knees in place! How original!

I've never weathered a model before but the job done on this one was done masterfully. It really is a shame to have reversed such a great job.

[@bertholdbouman3007]

Yes, the engine had a nice patina, I would have left it like that.

[@brohanfromrohan5771]

You're all missing the point. They're trying to have you believe it's an old toy that they're "restoring". They artificially age it and never come across any real problems like broken/missing parts and rust.

You just distroyed a beautiful realistic work of art. That was not a restoration it was destruction.

[@TechReviewbyIrdi]

It was better at the beginning. That wreck is cooler than any of the restorations on these. I can't believe it goes in reverse. That looked like a lot of work to undo.

The before restoration version would look cool in a junkyard diorama. It looks like a car that was in an accident, and then left at an auto graveyard to rust away for many years.

In "reality"... my first car of ownership was a 1966 Pontiac LeMans: 326 V8, two speed automatic transmission (of speeds - fast and faster). A two door coupe of turquoise color. My folks got it for me in September of 1970 at a used car one owner price of $650. Seeing this model car restoration was great! Such detail made from the model car company. I have seen a few of these model car restorations. Love to see this stuff.

Who then proceded to undo the work that had been done to it.
