It's funny how this isn't even a hobby of mine - I watch your channel because I love your presentation and I like the tips for the modeling I might eventually do when I have the space. But this car is gorgeous, both the base model and the restoration job you did. This would be one worth owning for me just to have.

Love to see the larger scale restorations. So much more detail to work with. Your artistry really shines.

Definitely worthy of the Marty's wife's toothbrush award for outstanding restoration. Really liked the practical demo of the tire casting

I actually "Wow"d out loud when I saw the reveal. SO well done mate. One of your best. Truly amazing, thanks.

Ok. You've made up my mind. I've decided to raid the very innards of my attic to retrieve my old Matchbox, Corgi and Majorette cars.

The black paint is fantastic. Can’t wait to see that purple flake in use. Great video!

We accidentally found these videos about 2 weeks ago and now we can’t stop watching them! Forget the yard work. Forget the home work! Forget our own channel! We are obsessed. Nice work!!!

Man, that was a fantastic result. Great casting job on the tires. Love the technique.

Love that era of the Thunderbird. Again, you are showing us how far on a different plane of restoration you are.

Sorry about those "obvious comments" on the acrylic rolling pin 😉... All in good fun.

Very nice work. The black paint has such a deep gloss, you look into it. I used to see a convertible, in Moorabbin in Melbourne. The rear bumper stuck out about 2 feet, as this one was optioned with a Continental spare.

Wonderful restoration BM, thanks again, from South Africa

So I don't collect, or restore any of these, yet whenever one of your videos appear in my subscription I need to watch it. I feel I have learned a lot from your videos even though I haven't gotten around to using then just yet. Especially the clear coat on the molotow, that paint has been my nemesis. I just wanted to say thank you for the work you do and share. It's a pleasure to watch and learn.

So, it's not enough to humble me in 1/64, you had to change scales and humble me in 1/43...Thanks pal! Seriously, what a beautiful job. I would just bought reproduction tires. Don't know if I'll ever make my on tires...or plate...Nice to see a level of excellence I can still learn from even if I'll never reach that far. Beautiful and entertaining and informative!

What a great hobby. I wish I had kept all my Majorettes and Matchbox. I literally had 100's of'em. Love your show, you bring back to my youth.

Incredible work. I can't say when last i even heard the name Corgi. Taking me back.....way back.

You are always innovating and I salute you for that: the metal plating, the soldering on copper plating and now the "blue stuff" molding. Excellent work!

Have to say this is one of my favourites, that paintjob is perfection!

Man I would drive that and drive it proud. Nice work.

Man, what an extensive restoration, one day I wanna go ahead and do something like this, but i need to set up my own table and paint booth. love watching your restos.

Not only are your final restorations amazing , but your knowledge on chemicals and proper tools needed is what really impressed me .

The Ford Thunderbird was from the golden era of American auto design. This was a beautiful restoration, and I hope you can find a second one to do in teal. My Dad is a mechanic, and he had a Teal 1960 Thunderbird in his shop last summer. It was the oldest vehicle that he has had there, beating our 1961 Chevy Apache by a year.

Brillant!

Whoa! I have a real 59 Thunderbird! Thanks for doing this, I had no idea they made these!

Turned out nicely as far as I see it

What a beauty! Love watching your process and problem solving. And the results speak for themselves!

That "Blue Stuff" kind of InstaMorph thermoplastic beads. You toss them in hot 140°F water till they turn clear and mold it whatever shape you want and when it turns white it's hardened/cooled. I never thought of using it as a mold, that's a really cool idea. Another great video as always, I love the finished product. It turned out beautiful.

It came out beautiful. I’m restoring Hot Wheels and I don’t have all the good tools like you got but I make do with what I got. I’m only a year into it. Well 10 months technically. My mentor just passed away. He was my age. Goes to show we can go at anytime and life is precious. Thanks for sharing your talents and God bless y’all.

You gave that old Thunderchicken a new lease on life, job well done!!

I thought I had them all. This one I have NEVER seen. Neither the convertible nor HT. Very cool ‼️

I love the attention to detail you put in on both the restorations, and on the videos !

One of the best restos iv seen, looks awesome. I’d love to see you restore a corgi bat mobile. Cheers from down under

I love how thurough you are with your restorations... Even recasting the tyres... Fantastic...

Great job as always on the restoration. 58-60 birds never get much love, but you turned this one into a classic that anyone would appreciate. Thumbs up and thanks for all your restoration tips.

Looks great. You make it look easy. Thanks.

Beautiful result. Takes me back in time.

I always loved doing what you do but it really came to life about 3 years ago when I had to buy a collection I always bought mint cars but I had to take everything so many 50's and 60's stuff in played condition it feels so good to bring them back to life.

You never cease to impress me with the restorations you carry out in your videos!

This is a magnificent restoration. Your comments and explanations are very entlightening.

Mother's 303 is another good polishing product. Yep, gloss black shows all imperfections in paint work. But still it turned out GREAT! Thanks for sharing with us.

Excellent restoration! It looks brand new. Thanks for sharing this tutorial.

Nice! You restored 1 of my favorite cars!!

The paint job came out great. It almost seems to have purplish tint but could be my screen. Molding the tires was a brilliant idea and looked as though they cast nicely. I have never seen a Cory of that scale before. The casting details look very precise. You brought the windshield back better than expected as I'm sure it's an unobtainium piece for sure. As always thanks very much for sharing your expert remanufacturing process.

the car after you restored it looks like something the Old Man from Pawn Stars would have driven.

A great job on one of the most beautiful cars of its era.

I always love these videos. I’ve always wanted to do these myself.

Awesome. Totally smashed it as usual. Love to watch these videos. Thanks for posting.

What a car! And what a restoration as well!

Wow man. That's a beauty. I'm a huge fan, but I take note of a new approach or product you use. You are an artisan sir. I like your art

As always another great restoration, keep them coming.

One of the best examples of a restored miniature car, mate. No apologies necessary. Beautiful. What a shame that the manufacturer wanted to cut costs with a cheap plastic interior, as if it would have been more difficult to make a normal plastic die cast interior.

I love the design of the 59 Thunderbird its got great lines, you did a real good job on the resto I might steal your idea of casting new tires it works really well.

What an amazing job! I can't think of anyone else that would ever put this much time care and patience into a work but I can see that when you do it comes out just fantastic. Wonderful job

The process and effort put into reproducing those tires was awesome. Consistent attention to detail like that makes watching this channel one of the most worthwhile ways to spend time during the day. Thank you!

Really nice job, thanks for the video. I always preferred Corgi toys to Dinky or Matchbox when I was a kid. I seem to remember owning this model in the sixties - happy dayz!

You sir are a national treasure. Thank you.

My 8yr old Son says "I love the way you fixed all the cars!"

Looks fantastic. Glad you kept the original paint job 👍🏻👍🏻

Very beautiful result, thank you for sharing your story. God bless you and your family

That came out great! Super veal job. Great tip about that blue stuff mold.

This is pure art. Kudos, Sir.

Little toy works are truly gems.

Amazing work as always.. the passion you have for your hobby is truly amazing ... thank you for taking the time to do them as always

Great tips and tricks. What a restoration!

Wow, this looked spectacular.

Fantastic job! Love the way you conquered every challenge

That turned out very nice. Great work!

Beautifully and lovingly restored : )

“Holy Messin’ With Resin, Batman! It almost looks like our rig!” It’s funny how, now that I am retired, I find myself researching items of my younger days....and have recently developed an interest in the 1960s George Barris cars....in particular, his Batmobile based on the concept Ford Futura. I never noticed the similarities between the Futura and this year’s Thunderbird! That black and red even smacks of Baris’.....uh, Batman’s car! And I don’t know what’s up with Robin.....but there is absolutely no way that I wouldn’t be taking that hot ride out on a Saturday night with Poison Ivy! As always....Bravo-Zulu on this 1:43 model. Your ingenuity when addressing a challenge never fails to amaze me!

I have a Corgi Plymouth this scale and age that also has rotted tires but in white. Very good tips on how to proceed on mine now. The paint and finished result looks great. A truly fine job.

Great work!!! I could watch your videos all day

Car looks great and I like how you kept two of the original wheels.

A masterpiece! You are an artisan of the zamak canvas!

Great job as always - thanks for sharing.

You did a beautiful job! Wow! 😀

WOW - 10/10 You got an A+ on this project! Good job.

Very thorough update as usual

That looks truly amazing!

The tyre cast technique is so impressive!

When I was a kid I had three Corgi's. A fire engine "snorkel", the James Bond Aston Martin DB5, and the Batmobile. The working features on all three were amazing. Corgi's were, and still are, my favorite die cast cars. All paid for by a paper route. Remember when kids them ?

So many things I learn watching your vids, Thank you

Two tone paint looks great👍👍

So beautiful restoration. Great job!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍

Just beautiful. The professor does it again.

That turned out nice great job making the new tires

I watch your videos late at night whenever I can’t sleep. Your monotone voice and long ass detailed videos over hot wheels cars puts me right to sleep. No lie please keep doing what you do😭😂

Beautiful restoration, I'm always in ore over the finished product, I learn so much from the vlogs, thank you for taking the time to do this, great work once again, big hello from Melbourne Australia, 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺😊😊😊

Awesome restoration. Great job!

Beautifully done.

Great restoration. Looks awesome!

Absolutely gorgeous

Excellent Vlog - I'm impressed by the fact that you were able to make spare tyres - never seen that before. I believe I had the same vehicle back in 63 in England. So I was delighted to see this pit stop upgrade - I guess that's why I subscribed. 👍

Fantastic job! Well done!

when I've restored missing wheels in the past, I've used a gasket around the same size made of rubber, and spun it in a drill chuck, this gave me a really nice rubber effect.

Awsome hobby! And your professional attention to detail during the restoration is top notch.

Was wondering when you were going to post a new video.....and I wasn't disappointed! Great Video. Loved the resin tires, such a cool fix. Awesome restoration sir. Keep up the great work!

Looks awesome.

Beautiful restoration!

Wow, gorgeous.It looks like it came right off the showroom floor at a Ford dealership. Love your work.

That car came out looking great! Can't wait to see that purple flake paint on another car!
