MATCHBOX Restoration No 3b Bedford Tipper Truck 1961

This model truck was destined for the rubbish bin as I personally felt that it was too much work. My wife convinced me to try and make it look new again. This task was extremely frustrating. I actually began to believe that it was possessed. The whole job was two steps forwards and one step back! - My patience was pushed to the limit when, after applying a final top coat of clear varnish, I accidentally dropped the model onto carpet. I then had to start from scratch again. The final look is not as good as it was the first time around. I don't know why but after re-working it the fillers around the window frame are slightly visible where they weren't before. With the hard yards done here is the video of the restoration from hell! Please let me know how you feel it went.

You have to wonder when this little truck got smashed. 35? 45 years ago? It's amazing it survived being discarded all those years. I bet it never thought it would find itself in a tiny body shop and rolling out with its dignity. It's alright that it's not perfect. It doesn't have to be. It's back on all six wheels with a pretty coat of paint. I sincerely hope you drive it around on the table someday very soon and make some appropriate engine sounds. You haven't truly finished until you've loved and played with it. This little toy can't thank you - but I can. Thank you.

I'd would play with it, although not much because I wouldn't want to get it damaged again. Although I'm in my late twenties and I still collect and race Hot Wheels, Matchbox, and NASCAR diecasts. I'm still a little kid. And my nephew is into it, too. Although I'm trying to get him to be less rough with his cars. I don't want his collection to end up like mine when I was his age.

My late father told me that in the 1920’s they used boiling caustic soda to clean iron cylinder heads of racing motor cycles at Brooklands It was never used on aluminium alloys as it was too corrosive. In later life before I retired the tool room foreman had learned his trade at Matchbox making and repairing the dies, moulds and fixtures of the models we now enjoy. I too am now enjoying such restorations as they are more in scale with my energies today. I congratulate you on the level of your craftsmanship and your lucid explanations. Lang may your loom reek!

I built an extensive collection of these cars when I was a kid and always used them with care. Some may have had some paint wear, but near mint otherwise. After I moved out of my parents house, (1979), my mom wasted no time in “loaning” my entire collection to a poor little kid at her church. He, quite literally, destroyed them all in a very short time. My mom still apologizes to me periodically for doing this. She did the same thing with my nearly mint condition Schwynn Pea Picker bicycle with the same result. I’m not sure what happened to my Erector Set and Lincoln Logs. Mom’s now 85 and I’m 60, but it still breaks my heart to think about them. Still, keep the videos coming. I’m happy to see some success stories even if they aren’t mine.

My brother and I had tons of these things. Well played with - but many would have been pretty valuable as collector pieces - all in several cases. I went to the Navy in '76 and my brother in the Air Force in '78. He returned from overseas with a boy - and the whole collection went to my nephew who destroyed them as well. Whacha gonna do? My cousin 'stole' our Lionel trains from my grandmother's basement and sold 'em. Man, if we only knew how valuable our toys would become.... I don't think today's toys are ever going to have any future value.

I also remember in the very early 60’s the grocery store gave us a plaster-of-paris bobble head doll with certain purchase conditions. We had more than one complete set of four over the few months that giveaway was in effect. Ultimately each one was broken and thrown in the trash. Who could have known how much a set of bobble heads of John, Paul, George and Ringo would have been worth today. After all; who ever heard of The Beatles?!

Super Goober, I feel for you! I played with my cars a little harder than you did but I had a friend who was so careful with his and I always admired him for that. I know the feeling of coming back home only to find a prized possession gone due to mom giving it away or selling it. I had a vintage VOX drum set that she sold when I joined the ARMY. The great thing about today's world is that you can get those things back thanks to eBay. Sometimes it's a little pricey but what the heck, it's only money! Looking at something you had as a kid brings back tremendous joy and is worth every penny!

I recorded Cream's Farewell Concert in Inglewood in '68 with a tiny reel to reel and a mic on a stick (above the crowd) and I recorded 60 minutes of heavenly music. My mom told me that a guy she worked with wanted to "clean up" the recording and like the stupidest kid on earth I let her borrow the tape. Of course the dude pirated the tape into a record album. It actually may be the version in KZfaq - Cream Farewell Inglewood Forum. Comic books, don't get me started.

Fascinating! I'm sure it takes hours and hours to do these restorations. I know that over the years you have had to develop your own techniques--trial and error. When I saw that you were going to use Super Glue, I winced a little. But then you used baking powder (or baking soda) to create an epoxy-like substance to hold those small pillars in place. Really liked seeing that. The outcome of the project was pretty incredible. Must be a wonderful hobby.
