I like the way you present this. Anyone watching can learn something from this. I agree with the criticism but I will say. Anyone putting themselves out on a platform like youtube for the world to judge gets extra points in my book. I am not a restorer and I am not watching for learned skills to apply to a real world product, I just enjoy someone that can take "trash" and make it a memory like this. It reminds me of my grandpa. People today throw away something like this all the time and not think twice about it. Taking pride in your craft and possession shows you can display the value of a dollar. Thanks for this.

nice to see a restorer take the time to really clean and show attention to every part of the model. Most restorers on youtube only seem to care about what the finished thing looks like from the surfaces you can see, and use a 'that'll do' approach and dont take the time to really treat the entire thing with love and attention. Best of luck with your channel.

I had one. It was my favourite of all my Matchbox and Hot Wheels. I have no idea where it is today. I have all my other cars and gave them to my two boys. I need to get into restoring them so maybe they can pass them on to their kids when they grow up.

Dude! I had that as a kid, I've been wondering what it was called! And I never knew it had a trailer! Edit: I'm honestly going to find one to buy on ebay because it was my favorite as a little kid, it looked so futuristic. When I saw this and figured out what it was called it made me feel 5 again. Seriously, Thank You.

I'm rather ashamed of the notion, and how long I held onto it, that larger models would not be as difficult as the 1:64 scale. If anything, the larger size points out any mistakes you might make, and have parts that are nigh impossible to repair or replace. Excellent work on what was a very demanding job.

Hi, First look ist seems that it is nearly impossible to get the rust out of the difficult edges of the model but you spend a lot of time doing that before spraying the filler. For my opinion it looks better than a new one bought. Enthusiasm in restoring is the first big helper I can see in the work you have done and always a good idea of serving problems by broken parts. This is my first video I've seen of that big scale. Until now I have only restored little cars which didn't needed so much work on. For this restoration my biggest honor to you! Great work and ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. Greetings and always happy restoring !
