MATCHBOX Restoration 36a Austin A50 1957

- This is a back to basics video. I have turned the clock back to where I started. I originally wanted to have one of each of the first series Matchbox models. Somewhere over the last few months I lost my focus and went on to do later models and also a few customs. Well today I am doing a vanilla flavoured 1950's model. I thought that it would be a 'walk in the park', but it presented me with many difficulties and resisted my makeover efforts at every turn. I got there in the end, and now I am the proud owner of a classic Matchbox that looks as if it just came out of the factory! I do hope that you enjoy the show! Thanks for watching, Marty.

Hi Marty, I'm really glad I've found you TH-cam site. It brings me great joy in watching you refurbish these old classics to their former glory. It's like sending a car to an auto body shop for repairs along with a detail shop. The color was amazing! Thanks for the hours of wonderful viewing pleasure!
I don't know what it is about your channel, but it is so peaceful to watch you recondition the cars. I don't even own any matchbox cars and never really did when I was a kid.
Marty, more of these "Back to Basics" videos would be most welcome. The new ones with Kevin and all the gimmicks are great but these restoration videos are fantastic. Just watching you tear down and discuss the process in detail without all the filler are great.
What a detailed casting, boot hinges, etc. The Lesney factory was turning out superb models in 1957. Great makeover!
Alas they folded and diecast models were never the same in my opinion. :(
Marty it really turned out nice, great job. The outtakes and Kevin in the bubble bath gave me a chuckle 👍👍😊
Great makeover Marty, and Kevin being hung up by his ears, priceless.
Hello Marty,
In my paying job I am a Sterilization Technician and I use an ultrasonic cleaner to clean dental tools for 8-36 hrs a week. Here are some tips.
Setting up in the morning, I fill to fill line with cool to warm water and 50ml of a cleaning solution (we use Clinidet or a Biosonic Cleaner packet.... Clinidet is cheaper)
Scrub items lightly with a nylon bristle brush ( toothbrush) first to remove heavy dirt.
The water temperature should never get too hot, ours is automatically temperature set. I suggest 36.C
We have it going for 7mins at least, 12minutes for heavy surgical tools and 15minutes for silver spiral bits, (By Australian Dental Association guidelines.)
Always have the lid on when the machine is operating.
Never leave metal items on the bottom of the drum as that can damage the machine. Always use the basket.
For Smaller items like bits & burs, I use a long handle tea strainer and put the tea strainer in the basket.
If I spot any calculas (any dirt still attached) after a clean, it gets scraped off with another dental tool, and then goes in for a second 7min wash.
I hope this helps,
Mermaid Miel.
Restoration is an understatement, this is a resurrection!
Another beautiful makeover. Lesney would be proud of the stunning work you have done to these ancient models.
Some people place the naughty kids in the naughty corner, but great to see a different discipline technique, "pegged to the clothes line".
Great video as always. Really enjoyed the welding/soldering application
It's a famous saying, a grinder and paint make me the welder I ain't!
Great video, perfect thing to watch on a quiet Saturday.
amazing how much detail the front bumper had after stripping. sometimes i think people give a thumbs down just because they are miserable in life. great job!!!!
That car really needed a LOT of help! Great job in restoring that classic model to its former glory, Marty!
Outstanding craftsmanship on welding the hook-up. Treatment on the car overall was terrific.
Marty....A tip for the rotary wire wheels...use a drop of super glue gel near the center of the wheel that will stop wires from coming losse and flying out
I think out of all the models you have done, this is one of my favorites!!!! You did a jam up job!
Amazing resto! That old paint completely obscured the detail. And, another GREAT News Story!
A jewel stuck in mud...
Great job and great video !
What a makeover this little 60s car giving you such a hard time but what a little diamond it turned how to be. Nice to see Kevin chilling and hanging around with is friend.
Saturday morning, a cup of coffee and a fantastic Marty's Matchbox Restoration. What a great way to start the weekend.
Hope you liked it Murray and thanks for commenting!
MY FRIEND MARTY ALL YOUR RESTORATIONS ARE VERY GOOD BUT THIS ONE ITS REALLY A LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR ME, THANKS...GREETINGS FROM PUERTO RICO
I love your Matchbox Makeovers and we all laugh at Kevin’s antics !!!!! Love it all - Keep it up !!
Old school techniques or not, that was one matchbox that really needed a make over. A very satisfying video like we have all come to know & love. Kevin got a bath to boot. Your work room looked very pleasant as you opened the door. One of your better restorations. Thanks Marty. What a wonderful Saturday morning.
I never thought you could weld diecast. Nice to see the advances in technology.
Neither did I. I was worried it'd end all melted.
Catching up on 3 Kevin videos featuring Marty on an early Sunday morning is my kind of relaxing
Another great makeover on a surprisingly tricky Matchbox model. And Kenvin & his mate are at long last hung out to dry 😄👍
Marty, I don't collect Matchbox vehicles and I don't really have any interest in the hobby. I stumbled across your videos some time ago and I watch them for the following reasons: 1) They ARE interesting, 2) you put effort into your work and the videos, and 3) I'm going through a bit of stress in my life at the moment, and when I have a quiet 20-25 minutes at 1:30 in the morning, I find that your videos are just so SOOTHING. Thank you for this.
Very nice restoration. That color suits the car well.
On top of having great videos, I love seeing the national enquirer style papers when you spray the model. Always makes for a good laugh. Keep up the great work Marty!
Kevin is such a handful; it was inevitable somebody would hang him up by his ears sooner or later! BEAUTIFUL work on the car, though. _More_ than beautiful. Exquisite.
Another Marty’s Matchbox Makeover Masterpiece!!!!
Ha! Ha! MMMM, I like it!
That little car got more love from you than it did in the past 50+ years! Well done!
Marty I really enjoy the tough repairs and difficult makeovers! Those really show your talents and dedication to craft! Well Done!
Well Kevin you never fail to amuse me , keep giving Marty a hangover !
Fabulous job Marty, you always amaze me with your innovative solutions to restore those poor abused cars. I loved Kevin and co. Hanging on line at the end, served them right for stealing your airbrush hose 🤣😂🤣
Nicely done. You referred to this as reminding you of "yesteryear" but it is exactly why I love to tune in to your shows. Excellent work. And Kevin's hot tub gag made me laugh! Loved to see him and the monkey hanging out in the wind and drying.
I'm 90% done on one of these and - I guessed the colour right! I'm *very* happy with that! You've done a great job Marty.
Love this restore! It took lots of patience. Removing the layers of paint revealed lords of details of the car, as usual...😍
I love reading the headlines on your newspaper liners in your paintbox.
My favorite headline came from a US tabloid, probably from the 1980's: "Man's Heart Restarted with Jumper Cables." Well, yeah. You clamp one of those things to my chest and I'll come back from the dead, too!
Same
I think this one was nice the way it was. It told a story.
Another gem , love the old style car model. Just shows we should all take care with wire wheels though they can go anywhere - protect the mk1 eyeball replacements are not available!
Marty, this is your best job yet. I really enjoy your "old school" videos.
Thanks for the feedback Stuart, I shall be introducing more of these as time goes by so that I don't lose touch with the roots of my channel.
Great to see an “old fashioned” restoration again !!
I must consciously try to do more of these as it was this type of makeover that featured first in my fledgling channel.
One of your best before and after makeovers yet Marty! Loving Kevin’s continuing antics. Great video. Thank you.👍🏼🤘🏼😎
Well done Marty another great restoration. Really loved this one, with some great new techniques and brilliantly executed. As to young Kevin, well boys will be boys!
Another Marty's Marvelous Matchbox Make over , great job Marty 👍
Love your continued work Marty. The little things on the front guards were bullet shaped running lights, with clear glass lenses. Very Austin type of things, they were on lots of Austin cars.
Well done restoration!! That welding rod makes quick work!! Cheers!!
A little tip when using your ultrasonic cleaner........put the cleaning solution in either a plastic peanut butter or vegemite container. Put the parts with this and only put water in the ultrasonic cleaner. It still works as needed and it makes cleanup very easy........
Two days - only worth it because you've achieved an excellent result young man!! I've been at this many years and I've learned a few "tricks" from you Marty, thank you. I love the wee comic insertions too... Kevin and the other animations are what keeps a smile on my face... brilliant.
Great job Marty, love the way you pay attention to detail.... Once again you are the master of your craft.... 👍
Thought for sure Kevin would have been messing around with the Canadian Beaver
Cloverdale Rail maybe Kevin is gay?
That would have gotten an R rating
'worlds smallest face' hahhahha
Watching your "goofs reel" at the end reminds me of when I make a goof in my own work. I usually say to myself, "You knew it was going to happen, but you went ahead and did it anyway, didn't ya, knucklehead?"
Wow! What a transformation!
Never had that model when I was a kid. Great restoration and cute car.
Another great job well done Marty. I enjoy watching your videos, because I can see the face that goes with the voice. Thank you for bringing back the yester years.
Absolutely my favourite makeover yet Marty. Great job sir! The color, the age, the simplicity, all of it, love this one!
Marty, absolutely brilliant. I loved this episode. You really pushed your craft to the limit.
Thanks Charles, I'm glad you liked it! Marty.
Bravo! Another rescued gem by the master of restoration! I look forward to each and every video and am never disappointed. You amuse and educate equally - a rare quality these days when the world seems to be filling up with pontificating "know it alls" who think that their smallest utterance will "influence" every watcher. Thank you for being yourself - a good and honest craftsman.
Loved this episode, back to basics and flashback in MMM history
I think this is one of the best you've done in regards to overall makeover. Brilliant!
Literally pinned up by the ears! That is significant punishment for Kevin using your compressor without permission. Great model too by the way!
These low temperature welding rods are a dream, we never had these sorts of advances when I was a lad.
Thank you for the excellent Muggy Weld tip!
Phenomenal job Marty! To Kevin "Splish Splash she's taking a bath"! LoL!
The car looks awesome, and your bloopers are hysterical
I really enjoy your work on the older Matchbox models. Your approach to fixing issues is very creative. I have to looki into the Muggy Weld product.
That was the biggest transformation yet. Good job on that.
Beautiful job, so much effort put into this tiny car. Hope the kid who painted it is watching so they can see how it should be done!
Lovely makeover, I've got one of these in this colour so I was so pleased when I saw the end result.
Wow your pretty hardcore Marty!!. I only joked about hanging my kids by their ears when they did stuff they shouldn't but never followed through!
Beautiful model by the way. Thanks for another great installment
Another great video. Thanks marty!
Great job as usual. I believe when you caught Kevin most of those bubbles were flatuence.
Ha! Ha! - Yes, he S##T himself!
What an amazing transformation
Nice fix. Looks awesome Marty. Have a great weekend. Good place for Kevin too.😄😄😄😄
You did a lovely job with that one Marty. It sure did fight you all the way though!
These older models had a charm all of their own.
Love the color! I am glad you found the original color. Looks great!🙂
An extraordinary restoration. The contrast is astonishing.
Another good 'un! Very entertaining. The little "pips" on top of the front wings are probably amber-coloured marker lights that come on with the main lights, showing the driver where the extremities of the car are at night. The Rover P6 had them also.
I have the same little battery box holding my #26 GMC Tipper Truck restoration project. I'm also getting ready to start a King Size No. K-2 Scammell Heavy Wreck Truck. I plan to use your tips and techniques on my HO scale model railroad engines. I have several Penn Line Midget diesel switchers that need some attention. They are from the 50s as well and are cast in heavy metal.
Congratulations on a successful over-the-top restoration with that solder repair...impressive!
Marty, You the man! I liked the weld job on front& back of the model, l’m learning more great techniques in restorations of these models. I am waiting for my shop/ train room/ man cave to be build, so that I can enjoy what you and some others are going in this hobby. I liked the end of your video, Kevin& friend “hanging” out, 😂 LOL! Take care Marty, from Maryland U.S.A. 😎👍👍👍
Thanks Jeff for watching and commenting. I hope you get into this hobby soon and save some of these models for future generations to appreciate.
Nice job Marty, if I remember right Austin A40, A50 and A55s of that period had little chrome Joe Lucas sidelights atop the front wings.
Outstanding work Marty! The color of the body and the chrome accents look fantastic. I was glad to see the Muggy Weld worked and it looks like a very strong repair. This will really help you in future restorations. I liked this episode because like you said, it was like the first tutorials you did. The one that attracted me to your channel was the dump truck with the crushed cab and dump body. I am still amazed at how well you restored it.
Liked Kevin and his friend "hanging out to dry" at the end.
Nice resto on a classic.
Another great rescue. I saw a Muggy Weld demonstration at a car show and thought it might come in handy for you, I'm glad it worked out. I used their aluminium weld with moderate success so I sent you the pot metal version a few weeks back. Congats!
Stunning makeover! What a great job. Thoroughly enjoyed this one
very nice resto marty , proper old school resto
Fantastic! Popcorn and a MMM video. Thank you
Lovely job, also looks good in a 2-tone 'crimson & cream' colourway too!
This is one of my favourite matchbox models, and I have several mint & boxed examples.
One thing, the 'cast metal' wheels on this and other first series models of the period were never painted but were just left in a natural un-painted alloy.
Cheers
Chris
Wonderful old classic MMM!
Thanks Marty
Punishing Kevin whilst drying him out? LOL!! Brilliant work on the car (especially your work on the base) as always.
Back to basics, nothing wrong with that. Still had time for a Kevin gag. excellent job on the Austin, very ingenious repairs.
Classic Marty! Thank you for the massive effort doing these things mate. I really like the little jokes, and the subtle in jokes that are hidden away, like Kevin’s ritalin, jacuzzi shenanigans and the omnipresent Sunday Sport superb headlines. One of the best channels out there! 5*
Not to mention the emergency condom drawer! :-)
Good to return to the 'real' Matchbox Lesney models Marty. When this came out I was minus four years old.
A great video “Austin A50”. Marvell 👌👌👌
Marty, I usually like your videos, but i really love this onehow much work you have to put in this one little car, Unlike other channels where restaurateurs do not show step by step, I love that you show all the points that you have to go to reach the final result, And that my friend besides your sense of humor with Kevin is what I appreciate most of your work.
I really appreciate all the work you do to make your videos so entertaining,keep up the good work please we really admire you . we love to se your channel while we have breakfast on Saturdays and Sundays in my house
Congrats regards.
Hanging by his ears... I don't think I've ever seen Kevin look better. :)
Ultrasonic cleaners are not magic, folks. You still need to add elbow grease and brushing afterwards, as necessary. It amazes me how many people don't get it. Gun parts, car parts, electronics, optical parts -- it doesn't matter. The sound waves only loosen the dirt/grime/carbon/grease from the surface. Only you can really be the cleaner! BE THE CLEANER! Ultrasonics is a tool, but only a tool alongside your mitts! PROTIP: For wire brush wheels on dremel -- run a bead of superglue around the wheel where the bristles attach (let set or use activator) and you'll get way fewer flyaways in your gloves/eyes, etc. Great job on the base, by the way, and love your color match. Team Kev all the way! TTFN!
