The Ferrari Berlinetta has to be one of best looking castings, Matchbox ever made 😍
Agreed!
As far as leaving the patina....nah. We live in an era when finds like this in the real world are rotisserie restored and auctioned for millions. You did right by this Ferrari. Job well done!
Ha, thanks!
Since it was buried , it's almost a resurrection. You did a great job of bringing it back to life... really nice restoration.
Thank you!
That is a beautiful restoration! For my taste I would have removed the tow hitch and painted it red, but you did a great job! I have a Corgi Ferrari 512s that I will be restoring soon, and this video really helped me.
I have this model still from childhood. Many many years ago. You did a great job sympathetically restoring it. Well done.
Just goes to show what a talented person can do with a extremely bad deteriorated model, awesome how it is brought back to life, great job 10/10 cheers KC Tasmania Australia Stay safe take care
Thank you and please stay safe as well!
Thank you for making body work look easy..... very well done with a ton of good tips.
I love this casting and you more than did it justice. What a fantastic restoration! That car shines. The paint job is perfect 👌🏻. I hope you give it pride of place in your collection.
Baremetal is the OG of 1:64 castings restorations and customs.
And also he is a very nice guy. Actually you both are.
He is the OG for sure. Thanks, I think we are both nice too! :)
Glad you decided to restore it, it was just too far gone and it looks great now. You can always look at this video as a reminder of its patina...
So beautiful. I never get tired of this casting being in these videos!
Thanks James!
5:10 that long plastic piece looks like a suspension spring, or if the axels are fixed on this car, it is a cushion to raise the interior casting.
Beautiful Resto you did an amazing job bringing this out of retirement especially the base and rims can you buy the floor cleaner acid in the grocery store?
My dad had a lot of hotwheels when he was a kid and there all in the garage and easy to get and that is in one of the cases the paint is a bit chipped but is mint condition
Beautiful and challenging restoration. I appreciate your commitment to authenticity. I would have preferred the headlamps, fogs and tail lamps done, plus the door handles.
Looks great! I love those wire rims! I have this exact car in my didplay case ! Again it came out Great!
What a fantastic result. The paint looks the same as the original. Thanks for an interesting video.
Thank you!
Great job on the restoration! Like to get a set of those axle forming tools.
Thanks! I'm not sure if BareMetalHW sells them or not.
Wow. This turned out amazing. I've been watching you for awhile and I have never really commented I don't believe. I enjoy your videos you do an amazing job.I wanted to comment because I love the backstory on this and just let you know it's fantastic. Stay safe and healthy. Have a great weekend.
Thank you Wade, I really appreciate it. Comment some more :)
ive been learning on how to restore hotwheels 1st ive seen on matchbox i have quite a few of them from when i was a kid that need something done to them this kinda gives me a idea on what i might find when i start on mine
Excellent restoration job.
Nice work! Thanks
Aww yeah! Thats one of my favourite matchbox castings ever!
Very fun to watch the restoration
Nice restoration and paint job 👌
Thank you!
Beautiful job. I'd be with you on the "clear-coat the patina" idea if it was a model of a car that could plausibly be a rat rod, but nobody's gonna do that to a Ferrari 250 GT. :)
Thank you!
Best back story on a restoration ever!
I agree!
Tot the paint is amazing
There's endless guy's out there that restore/custom these great die-cast casting's and i certainly enjoy watching.Whats this? Wheels & Things no way haven't seen for long time and he's restoring Ferrari.Have to watch this and you're certainly have turned this around my friend fantastic result and love the ground find story.Keep them coming!
Thanks!
Turned out GREAT! I’m doing a redline restoration that was dug up from metal detecting as well.. it’s a 1974 formula 5000. Just waiting on decals.. video will be up this weekend if they get here! Welcome back!
Thank you!
Great video! Thanks for pointing out which wheel was original 😀
Thank you!
Yo encontre una moto guisval con el detector algun dia la restaurare 😁👍
Saludos desde españa 👍
Great background story. Nice job
Thank you!
Awesome! Love the story behind this! Miss your videos!
Thank you!
@@WheelsNThangs I'm doing an all community build for first responders police fire or ambulance check out my announcement on my channel i dont have alot of subscribers so it is hard to get the word out
Buena pieza berlineta 1966 leyenda ferrari
I don't know how I missed the notification, but looks great! Just an idea but next time you get one in rough shape like that restore half of it. I think that would make a neat display.
Thank you! That's pretty good idea, I might have to try it!
Good to see you back. Awesome job
Thank you DSC!
I honestly expected it to still be a little rough around the edges after how bad off it was when you started. That came out great. Hopefully quarantine boredom will give us some more new videos. Haven't seen you in a while now.
Ha! Thank you!
Love this, awesome job bringing a total wreck back to pristine conditon.
Te quedo de maravilla
What type of lathe bits are you using? What would I ask for at a hardware store? Thanks
Great video! I have this in red. I painted it yellow with Testor paint when I was a kid and I want to restore it. What can I use to get yellow paint of the tires? The tires are the harder plastic and don't come off the wheels like the ones in your video.
I am certain you have already been apprised of the plastic piece under the seats. Watch some other restoration vids by Marty (Martys Matchbox Makeovers), Lee (Time Riders Wee Little Cars) , and Paul (Fat Guy Productions) from Beautiful Las Vegas. Rob (Matchbox Garage) from London and Danny (Danny's Diecast Disasters)from New Zealand. It is a suspension piece. Yep. Those clunky wheels never allowed early Matchbox to roll well because we had already with broken that plastic thing or it was warped from strenuous play.
But thats what that is.
Yeah, I realize that now. This one doesn't seem to really do much of anything since there is really no room for the axles to move up and down in the slots.
Great job 👍
Very good job
The patina looks good
WOW... what a transformation :)
Thank you!
The plastic piece under the interior is a suspension for the axles.
Beautiful!
Very nice work and a refreshing video :)
Thank you!
Achei lindo o respeito e a consideração que você tem ou teve com os brinquedos antigos, que são ou eram tão importantes para nós que somos ou éramos crianças.
Looks great
Awesome job.
Thanks!
Mr.Thangs!
Thanks for sharing😁
:)
Awesome restoration 👍🔥
Thank you!
That looks so good fella 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks!
Love this - fantastic job!
Thank you!
Can you show how to paint and reconnect the body and what you use to hold together
Beautiful job!!
yeah, thats a true 100% resto, and no doubt that it was needed
That is stunning awesome
Thank you!
Fantastic restoration, just for information the plastic diamond on the bottom of the interior is a suspension piece. the axles rest on it and if you push down on the car it allows a little travel for the axel and for it to spring back. Often after all these years they will be a little bowed so no longer working as well as they once did, but with a little heat from a heat gun and careful bending back you can straiten them, not worth the risk if it is just going to be a display piece as they can be fragile and are easily broken, I speak from experience. :-)
Awesome info, thank you!
Ótimo trabalho meu amigo🙏👏👏👏👏👏😍
Well done sir
Love these
Nice job well done I love it.🏅🤪
Remarkable!
Amazing transformation 👍
Thank you!
You just got me hooked
Hahahahaha great minds think alike! I have finished one of these and still have to edit the video. Aye!!! (Months later)
Happy day and nice looking job!! I never thought the rims would come out so clean! Well done!!! 👍👌😁
Ha! Yeah, I have a lot of things that have been sitting for months. Hope you are doing well!
....awesome work once again...
That turned out awesome. I used testors window cement on my latest video.
Beautiful job my friend!
That green finish 😍
What did you use for clear coat?
Thanks Rivera, actually I didn't use any on this one. This Hobby Color paint is amazing. Spray the last coat nice and heavy and it was good to go!
awesome...
Nice!
Great restoration. Car looks awesome!
Thank you!
That plastic piece is a suspence for the axles.
I am about to begin my first restoration ... my own model of this very car. Mine did not have the spoke wheels (though the model on display at the store did which is why I wanted it ...yes ... that was probably 51 years ago, but you can't get over the showroom betrayal!). I would like to put spoke wheels on my restoration. Is there a good place to go for those?
Ate the long plastic arms suspension springs for the axles??
From the comments I would say so.
I have a perfect in the box one of these.
This was amazing, great job!
Thank you!
I suspect this was lost while it was fairly new, other than the corrosion the car looks quite undamaged. Some child must have been upset about that. Lovely to see it beautifully restored and having a second life!
Good point. Thank you!
Great video. I still have my original car with the box.
Nice!
Awesome
The clear plastic on the interior is for suspension I believe
Hmm.. I would agree but the base really won't allow it to touch that piece.
@@WheelsNThangs Great story and Resto, that plastic piece is the suspension, TimeRider shows how he bends this in his restoration of the same Ferrari casting about 12 minutes in. thank you for the great videos
Wow...
amazing
Thanks!
Ok
Ferrari YES
Restoration YES
A GREEN Ferrari Casting HOLY FREAKING CRAP BATMAN
Where can we purchase those axle tools?
I got mine from BareMetalHW but I'm not sure he sells them.
Beauty!
Ditch the tow hook!
"I'm a wimp, I use a vice..."etc...etc..., then this happens: 5:54
👍📹
I have one of this mine is in a real good condition and yeah✌️have no tow hook thanks god
That tow hook looks ugly on a Ferrari. Yeah I know I know is original but no matters for me I love without the tow hook.
please paint details
Wanted to keep it original looking as mentioned in the video.
90% of people would of put it in the bin, bet you wouldn't now ?
Love this guy 💯 I've been watching for a few years.. I'm subscribed on 6 devices🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I've drilled and sliced my hand before its not fun
Sorry WheelsNThangs !!!!
