I love the restoration + on this truck! I was born in 67 which is the year of this truck and I have one I put back over a year ago til I found a good usable grille and windshield which cannot be ordered, very nice job indeed! Love it!!!
Great looking Ford F series with the canopy. Well done once again. Would have been nice to see the Ford logo painted black on the tailgate but still an awesome restoration.
I had both this model and the Kennel pick up which was basically the same Ford model and both lost the grill and lights section. You done an amazing job on this one Rob.
Really top quality work there. That turned out beautifully. The gloss red is really eye catching and the little detailing touches made a huge difference.
That's what you call a clean resto+ The red works a treat, and even for a Matchbox "toy" the grill/headlight details which are probably more what we see on 1:43 collector's models, works a treat in modernising yet retaining the soul of a classic Matchbox....as for the ink washes you do to the silver work, I fail to understand why they are disliked....it's an almost given technique in painting Citadel Minatures, to add that all important shadowing where trying to manually paint in shadows at this scale would be a total ball ache, the ink works perfectly without becoming too stark of a contrast. All in all on point as usual, a tidy, tidy truck!
Lovely job in the end, just shows if you collect the beat up models for long enough you will eventually get enough parts to make great examples of them all over time.
When I was a little kid in Alaska, these Ford trucks were ubiquitous. Of course, those looked more like the starting point than the end result. Great work, Rob; love those little touches that make the model
Looks great Rob, nice to see a semi resto on an original matchbox, everyone else is doing customs, nothing wrong with that but it was quite refreshing. Thanks, have a wonderful holiday.
Nice work! The Truck looks good as new! And the frontend are always missing good thing you had a replacement I remember watching Hodge's Hot Wheels fixing up one and he'd manage to find a replacement frontend for the truck he was fixing and got it finished.
Yeah, turn the cap around. Many pickup cabs have sliding rear windows to access the covered bed. That's why the opening is as wide as the rear window. Usually the bed caps have a hinged window over the tailgate.
Very popular model on eBay. Usually fetches quite a price. Nice work on the canopy and interior. And as alway, love the little details. On that note, best wishes for the holidays to you and your family!
I love that truck. I need to get one to make it look 'Pre-loved'. Marty uses 'Dollar Store' rattlecans, and has often remarked what a nice finish they give. I've used them (although from Poundland), and I have to agree. Great for small parts and bases, etc. Beautiful end result. Sweet as!
My favorite videos are the ones where the casting is in really poor shape and then given a new life... I also like where you show mistakes! It's going to happen. How mistakes are dealt with is important. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidaze...
Very nice restore. Love your vids and work you do on the vehicles. Maybe just a touch up on rear bumper with same front bumper paint would be a awesome final touch but if this is a resto and original had a red rear bumper then just leave it red. Beautiful job
In the US, we call that a shell or sometimes a camper shell. They tend to be either white or silver/aluminum color, but some people paint them to match the truck.
Every man wishes they had a garage full of cars with epic restorative skills. Rob is where the dream meets reality. Edit: Also if you use Nuln Oil, you should use them on Orks.
Beautiful, a whole new vehicle. I do think the open part goes facing the back of the cabin. The final result it’s a whole lot better than the original product, and that kind of give hope, if I extrapolate it to existential terms... ;)
I own a '71 Ford and it's my Daily Driver. This has inspired me to try to find some to add to my collection!! Awesome Restoration!!
Great job with the restoration of this truck. That red looks awesome and the canopy looks like it's fresh from the factory.
I love the restoration + on this truck! I was born in 67 which is the year of this truck and I have one I put back over a year ago til I found a good usable grille and windshield which cannot be ordered, very nice job indeed! Love it!!!
Love that finish. The paint really shines on this one.
I like that you brought it back to factory fresh. Great job.
Excellent restoration, that red is superb.
Great looking Ford F series with the canopy. Well done once again. Would have been nice to see the Ford logo painted black on the tailgate but still an awesome restoration.
Super little red truck. The bed top is a nice detail.
My favorite model as a wee lad from back In the day. You have done a great job. Now it's still a favorite!!
Big fan of pickups, especially old Fords. This resto is fantastic! Awesome sauce!
I had both this model and the Kennel pick up which was basically the same Ford model and both lost the grill and lights section. You done an amazing job on this one Rob.
My favorite parts of your videos are the hot dog jar, the polished body and base, then the after picture comparison.
Amazing transformation, Rob! You really took that broken old mess and turned it into a beautiful model!
Its looking good Rob, awesome video,the finished product is now a tidy model,nice colour of pick up.
A really good job on that one Rob. That’s kicked me into action and I’ll give my tired version a go next 👍
Really top quality work there. That turned out beautifully. The gloss red is really eye catching and the little detailing touches made a huge difference.
Marvelous red paint job! Looks fantastic 😎
Turned out lovely Rob, quite the rescue!
That is one happy little truck! Great resto, Rob! It looks so good I want to drive it!
My grandpa had a red Ford pickup, no topper. Very cool job.
Reminds me of 1967 all over again well done on the truck my friend

Hell of a transformation man. Came out amazing
Very nice result. Looks beautiful.

Has a proper country vibe to it, I can totally imagine it popping up in the dukes of hazzard, nicely done
Looks great Rob, nice to see a semi resto on an original matchbox, everyone else is doing customs, nothing wrong with that but it was quite refreshing. Thanks, have a wonderful holiday.
Beautiful restoration+ on this one. I"m always in awe of your detail work. Those indicator lights are tiny!
Classy truck, Rob. There are about 100 million of these roaming the dirt roads where I live. I love that front grille detail.
I'm glad you stuck with the original red paint. Looks good.
One of your best ones yet. Looks amazing.
looks great with the additional details done
That canopy ,rare as hens teeth jealous as hell ,looks great
Nice work! The Truck looks good as new! And the frontend are always missing good thing you had a replacement I remember watching Hodge's Hot Wheels fixing up one and he'd manage to find a replacement frontend for the truck he was fixing and got it finished.
Great result, it looks so realistic!!.
That red did come out beautiful
Those are always nice looking trucks. Good work sir

Love the restoration on this. I just started in the hobby of restoration and collecting. I find your videos entering and informative
the front is wonderful, good job.
Beautiful. thanks for sharing!
Lovely transformation
Just a lovely little pickup.

Great JOB Rob. I've got this car from my childhood. Can't find front grill anywhere!!!
So simple, but so gorgeous!

That might just be one of my favorite restorations that you've done. Keep up the great work. Cheers
Found one in a thrift-store in the same state. I love it's design! I discovered this week that it had steering wheels😜
