    Beautiful job, Paul. The purists may be up in arms now, but I think you've made it your own and improved it while doing so. The vintage Texaco decal suits it perfectly. Sweet paint work, as always. It's going to be a great day when we each clean out our hobby room and fill a box with all the parts that have sprung off the bench! From Switzerland - Andrew 🍁

    Waauuw! Absolutely stunning! Looking great! I wouldn’t call myself a “purist”, but I admit, I was somewhat skeptical, thinking how cool and stunning can an old MBX truck get? I was wrong. It absolutely looks amazing

    Thanks for the great tip on scratching off the paint on the letters and door handles! After you showed that, you forgot to say "and that's another tip from your uncle Paulie"...LOL! The truck turned out great!!!

    This is got to be one of the best looking Matchbox tow trucks I have ever seen... knocked it out of the park brother... a little tip if you don't want your decals to float in the water put a sponge in there you don't have to worry about them floating away and washing the adhesive off....

  • @billbushman6686
    @billbushman6686 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Spectacular as usual Paul! Thought for sure you were going Gasser with it. Still can, some bigger tires in the back, leaf springs and straight axle in front and you've got the Texaco Hooker!

  • @williamdeegan7840
    @williamdeegan7840 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    What I've done when doing a wheel swap is using a longer axle. A longer axle would put the wheels closer to the outside of the wheel well. It'll work if your using wide tires with a short axle. But if your keeping narrow tires a wider axle is a good idea. Trucks looks really good. Love the Red.

    I just subscribed when you said about not being able to stand BP or STUPID MOONEYES or GULF. I can't stomach anymore of all of them. Making your own is the way to go. Truck looks great.

  • @arrow1414
    @arrow1414 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Breathtaking! You've put new life into that truck! While I still like restoring those old cars to factory condition I see a lot of potential too in "modernizing" them too! Just as long as any given car isn't too rare of course.☺ Turned out you dropping and losing that wheel was a blessing. The emergency replacement set was MUCH better!👌
    BTW, the third Paul, Paul Restorer, cuts out a plastic disk makes a hole in the middle that is wide enough for the axle nub to slip through and so uses the disk as a shield for the wheel as he grinds off the axle hub.

  • @mortenhenningsen940

    turned out awesome. I'm sure tow truck drivers back when would have enjoyed such a paintjob in real. :D the rostyle whells look great! the first choice would have been great as well, but yeah. I'm sure you'll find the missing wheel once you discarded the remaining wheel-and-axle. Murphy never sleeps! XD

    @kylebaker5982 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Absolutely gorgeous I literally want to do one just like this and do the same cause I love it so much lol. Unbelievable job. I've just started doing customs and have tried many different paints to get that spectra look. I've tried badger translucents, createx candy 2o, even made my own with urethane clear with paper mate ink, closest I've got to that spectra look was actually the paper mate ink but u just can't get it to look like that redline shop spectraflame it's incredible paint. But still getting use to using an airbrush was having trouble with the. 3mm nozzle just couldn't get it to flow smooth so ended up switching to a .5 setup and flows great now. But amazing job I love this car what a collection piece. Congrats

    @davidparker8221 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I noticed your trouble w/ techniques removing the wheels. I think it was Juan at Matchbox Ressurection who used a drilled and cut piece of blister plastic as a shield between the wheel and the spinning Dremel bit. Your Vegas cousin Paul or Czech cousin Paul, I think, used Vise-Grips in a circular motion around the head shrinking it until he cound remove the wheel over the axel. That is more time consuming than a Dremel, and you may have been up against a deadline. I also think depending upon how well the axel head formed it is possible your axel length could be different on each side. As Freud said, Sometimes a short axel is just a short axel. I'd like to see a Redlines version of a Lesney/MB BP tow wrecker, or if you're "anti-BP" a Sinclair tow wrecker? Maybe just a straight "HW Garage" truck with the vintage 60's Blisterpack art...Your basic, Red, Yellow, Orange, White, Black color scheme...with the Heavyweights' Dualie wheels in the back. Anyway...Safety and Sanitize! Have fun with YOUR toys!
