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.
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 . . . .
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.
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
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.
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 🤷
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.
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.
I think I’ve seen this guy before, taking a truly unique and masterful work of art and turning it into an everyday piece. I believe this is called snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
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.
US Mussel Die cast 1 1/8 scale, made these and they made Ford, Chevy, Dodge Mussel cars in the 90s. eBay has them for sale now, There’s other Companies that made the same cars, There over 100 cars made of all years to the 1 st Ford made.
My words exactly! This model company really did their homework on the details of the real cars, and, turned them into a smaller, model versions! Incredible attention to detail! I bet they are expensive!
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.
По большому счёту, автору надо было только склеить куски сломанных кузова и днища, почистить стёкла и кресла, покрыть антикорром кузов и сделать балансировку/развал/схождение колёс. Всё! Остальное ни к чему. Такую красоту запорол.
love your work, im just saying in this episode the model looks amazingly realistic at the original state, i mean weathered and looks like real junkyard car😁
nice job but I really liked it before u restored it. I would have made a A grassy filled with an old barn sitting out there and have a sit in it or in front of it outside
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.
that was intentionally cut up either because it was in a junkyard diorama or this guy cut up and thrown dirt and some rusting agents on it to fake the video for clicks so the car looks more run down...
Unlike a lot of the comments by people that will know how fun it is to grow old and fall apart, i thank you for giving this model new life. If only people could be restored so easily. And the people that prefered the old weathered and useless looking piece of junk. We will see how much they like that look in 40 or 50 years. Have fun guys.
Não sei se o q mais me chamou a atenção, se foi a restauração ou a riqueza de detalhes dessa incrível miniatura......então fico com os 2 , Espetacular. 😅😅👏👏👏👏
@@clauoliver1510 rsrs. Quis marcar a pessoa que informou o fabricante. Meu comentário era referente à postagem com essa informação. Marquei você por engano. 😄
That was the most amazingly realistic model I've ever seen. I literally thought it was a real car that was photoshopped to look small in the thumbnail.
In the thumbnail, the rusty car actually looked like it had been skillfully weathered by a seasoned modeler. I initially clicked expecting a satire of restoration videos.
Redone looks great, don't remember seeing many red ones out there, GM must have gotten a good deal on their burgundy paint. That's mostly what was around when I was younger. I have to admit that I see way more before ones now than I do restored ones.
Nice job. Interesting how that front end was so cleanly broken off and such a easily repairable spot with such a smooth clean break. If one didn’t know better that might think it was cut apart……..
Didn't you guys see the way it looked before restoration? The big ass "FOR SALE" sign on the windshield? Carefully placed rust? Of course this one was done on purpose, this model was probably used in someone's model set before getting handed off to this restoration guy. Who then proceded to undo the work that had been done to it.
@@ethanspaziani1070Or they just magically find them lying around some where. I can't remember which channel it was that I saw it on, the person found an "abandoned" motorcycle on fire, but it was clearly faked. That or one person found a car in the middle of a lake frozen in ice. People admit to faking certain ones, but it's limited to the person.
What incredible work to make a new model car look so dilapidated. So much time and incredible skill. All for nothing when you don't remember to give the brand new body screws some patina
Very nice, in real life my Dad had this very GTO, his was in Skyliner Blue. As a mechanic I can tell you, that's a pretty cool highly detailed model! Working driveshaft, battery, heck even the glove box opens.
Bloody amazing!! Once again I've made the mistake of watching this at work while doing the paperwork...these videos are always mesmerising...you have great talent brother👍
The restoration was pretty nice. But the original model was infinitely more realistic and could have easily appeared in a movie scene in a forced perspective shot of a junk yard, or post-apocalyptic hellscape.
A lot of people are saying how they like the car before but I like the idea of someone making a video of making the car look junk and old and then him restoring it. It’s good idea I like the videos.
Sou um brasileiro e sou fanático por miniaturas principalmente desses muscle car(banheiras) e essa réplica é magnífica queria encontrar uma dessa aq no Brasil mas eles não valorizam muito esse tipo de arte de miniaturas automobilística e a minoria que gosta, e sei que aí é diferente vcs realmente admira esse tipo de coisa que acho incrível
Этот видос ещё примечателен тем, что в начале модель выглядит тоже правдоподобно. Так они и выглядят на свалках, и надпись на лобовом тоже аутентичная, аж сердце сжалось)))
It turned out nice like any other model, but it’s a shame to see someone else’s detailed work being ripped away, I liked the weathered art beforehand, also nice screw stripper 3,000
I love your style keep up the good work I love your video, s.. I fix up nitro trucks thunder tiger the big model trucks I've just finished one. engine fully rebuilt another shell high suspension new five spoke rims and tyre, s totally refurbished the remote made by Jaguar.... it now runs and so does the remote I love this hobby its a shame to bin them when they are broke..my model truck now is like bran new..been doing them for five years.....I like the way you pick the more detailed ones that are destroyed and restore them back to the way it should be well done..I like your motive well done..👍
I'm only laughing, because this is an actual representation of the used car market in the United States right now. It's only been in three accidents, has a junkyard engine in it. The brakes don't work. The tires are about to fall off. And it's only been underwater once. But, it can be yours.. for 500 equal payments of, 50% of your income or more. Don't worry about that whole front end falling off.. it'll buff out. The Carfax said everything was great. Only one owner.. a grandma who only drove it back and forth to church and the grocery store.

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!
It was perfectly weathered!
Exactly..i would have left it like it was
Realy never seen a model of a rust junkyard car before.
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..
That one primer black door at the beginning was truly authentic!!!!
Way to go! You took one of the most masterfully detailed model cars I've ever seen and turned it into something truly mundane.

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.

Critique the model car restoration video you do....bottom of the barrel you are.
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.
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.
I thought that same thing. I kinda liked it the way it was.
Bro, its their job, and they make money from doing all that shit...
@@virals2656 yea that's one hell of a job. Model car turdifacation
@@BeardedBadger77 same
Yeah that barn find look was killer.
GM would be proud of the restoration job you performed on that model of a Pontiac GTO. Well done.
GM sells vehicles that can’t make it to 100,000 miles now. They don’t care about anything.
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 🤷
Me too! I even tought it was an actual car vid before I watched.
Man I would love to see the video of that original look being done. Whoever did that had some serious skills!
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.
Yes, the engine had a nice patina, I would have left it like that.
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.

Sure
I know,I love rusty crusty stuff and it gives that color that no paint could do

The best part is having seen pro work on the art before,and after...I can appreciate both sides👏👌
What a beautiful model of the Pontiac GTO 1966 car !!
I love before and after restoration, before restoration is actually good for making diorama
What company made these models and are they still making models? They have the most amazing detail I've ever seen in a model.

Creative in restoring old things. I try to imitate what you do. Thank you ❤❤❤
This video is 1000 times better if you watch it in reverse.....
Pins, eh? That's what hold my knees in place! How original!
Great Video 🙌🏼❤️
my first car was a 66 Pontiac GTO way back in 1973 when I was 17. Years go by to friggin fast. This video had special meaning for me. Nice job!
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.
Yea! I wrote the same thing in this video, that he damaged a car that before, was much better 😌✌🏻
До ремонта она выглядела более по настоящему. Хорошая работа!

Once again...GREAT WORK
Exelente 👉👍 Extraordinary 👍
It looks great restored. But somehow, I like the way it looks before restoration. Just that abandoned and forgotten look is ao cool.
EXCELLENT JOB 😮😮😮
Very fine Restore on a very fine Muscler Car back in the 60's 👍
Crazy how restoring something actually destroyed a work of art
I am always amazed at how much metal was in these toy cars. Beautiful job!
The old used model looked more authentic and more beautiful
THE ORIGINAL COLOR OF THAT GTO IS REGIMENTAL RED. IM A PROUD OWNER OF ONE. THANKS FOR BRINGING THAT GTO MODEL BACK TO LIFE...
Other than the color that you painted the engine that GTO looks remarkable
They came out a dark blue with a black hood with white stripes on side and White interior, GTO on fender,
Hola buenas
love your work, im just saying in this episode the model looks amazingly realistic at the original state, i mean weathered and looks like real junkyard car😁
Очень реалистично ржавеют алюминиевые детали)))
У этих реставраторов и пластик с резиной ржавеют))
Valeu!
nice job but I really liked it before u restored it. I would have made a A grassy filled with an old barn sitting out there and have a sit in it or in front of it outside
It is obvious , the passion for this hobby . What is also obvious , is the shake in the drill press ....., I enjoyed 👍👍
Personally I preferred it all beaten up
And a metal 1:16 scale
Fico lindo 👏👏👏 Porem eu colocaria o vidro preto, um aerofólio preto trazeiro, uma faixa preta no meio e um adesivo irado nas portas laterais. 💞
No entiendo como puedes dejarlos completamente nuevos!! Es increíble. Excelente trabajo 👍
é um trabalho magnífico 🤩👏👏👏👍🏼
Ya están nuevos, sólo los ensucia un poco, daña la pintura y cosas leves, hay canales que si son de restauración, este video es una payasada.
