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!
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
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 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.
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.
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.
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
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
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!
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?
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. :)
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.
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.
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!

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.
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!!! 👍👌😁
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!
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. :-)
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.
@@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
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.
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!
The Ferrari Berlinetta has to be one of best looking castings, Matchbox ever made 😍
Agreed!
I have this model still from childhood. Many many years ago. You did a great job sympathetically restoring it. Well done.
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!
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!
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! :)
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.
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!
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.
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.
What a fantastic result. The paint looks the same as the original. Thanks for an interesting video.
Thank you!
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!

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.
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?

Best back story on a restoration ever!
I agree!
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!
Great video! Thanks for pointing out which wheel was original 😀
Thank you!
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!
Love this, awesome job bringing a total wreck back to pristine conditon.
yeah, thats a true 100% resto, and no doubt that it was needed

Good point. Thank you!
The patina looks good
Yo encontre una moto guisval con el detector algun dia la restaurare 😁👍
Saludos desde españa 👍
Te quedo de maravilla
Awesome restoration 👍🔥
Thank you!
The plastic piece under the interior is a suspension for the axles.
What type of lathe bits are you using? What would I ask for at a hardware store? Thanks
Beautiful job!!

Awesome info, thank you!
Great restoration. Car looks awesome!
Thank you!
That plastic piece is a suspence for the axles.
Great video. I still have my original car with the box.
Nice!
Ótimo trabalho meu amigo🙏👏👏👏👏👏😍
Beautiful job my friend!
....awesome work once again...
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.
Amazing transformation 👍

Looks great

You just got me hooked
Awesome job.
Thanks!
That looks so good fella 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks!
This was amazing, great job!
Thank you!
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!
Remarkable!
Ok
Ferrari YES
Restoration YES
A GREEN Ferrari Casting HOLY FREAKING CRAP BATMAN
awesome...
Awesome
Great job!
Thank you!
Nice job well done I love it.🏅🤪
I have a perfect in the box one of these.
Can you show how to paint and reconnect the body and what you use to hold together
That is stunning awesome
Thank you!
Wow...
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
amazing
Thanks!
Nice!
Thanks TR!
Beauty!
Ate the long plastic arms suspension springs for the axles??
From the comments I would say so.
Ditch the tow hook!
Where can we purchase those axle tools?
I got mine from BareMetalHW but I'm not sure he sells them.
👍📹
Sorry WheelsNThangs !!!!
"I'm a wimp, I use a vice..."etc...etc..., then this happens: 5:54
90% of people would of put it in the bin, bet you wouldn't now ?
please paint details
Wanted to keep it original looking as mentioned in the video.
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.
I've drilled and sliced my hand before its not fun
Love this guy 💯 I've been watching for a few years.. I'm subscribed on 6 devices🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Do you not participate on the diecast racing on the 3D Botmaker channel?
Yeah sadly 😢 baremetall HW stops to make videos on his channel
