That sort of car in reality was beyond my aspirations as a boy, when six or seven I saw a bright red E-type in Henley-on-Thames parked by the river. It was SO beautiful. It epitomised the power of that marque and I've lusted after them ever since.

    Nice restoration Marty. Most of the Americans that use citrus strip have it in a jar where the casting is dropped in for minimum 24 to 48 hours. The same can be done with Dettol. I personally am an advocate of the caustic soda method. Again great restoration and hopefully Smudge get his own back on Kevin. Cheers Michael

    Have to admit, I also thought the idea of the hole punches sounded a cunning idea! (I was cutting out small circles of plasticard.) But as you found, the results were vert hit and miss. What you use as a punching table is crucial, I tried metal, plastic, wood and finally leather on a hard surface provided the best level of flexibility to allow cutting through your medium while being spongy enough to support the cut so as to minimize deformation. Trial and error. Excellent video, thank you.

    So very happy to see you back at it. You're the one who sent me down the resto/custom rabbit hole. [@TinyCarFanatic] I haven't got an airbrush so all I''m using are spray cans for repaints and I had the same issue with the paint coming out too thick. The solution I found is to heat the cans in a sink of hot water (just from the tap) about halfway up the can. Leave them in for 10ish minutes (or out in the hot sun for a half hour.) The heat helps the paint atomize much better and gives excellent results. I also started with a can of the same CitrusStrip you used here with mediocre results. After a while I tossed the CitrusStrip in the bin and bought some paint stripping gel. Your channel was the very first channel that I subbed. Love your work! Cheers!
    PS: Watch that Kevin, I don't think he likes Smudge. (My mum has a puppers named Smudge)
