MATCHBOX Restoration 27c Cadillac Sixty Special 1960

- Doing a makeover on a model which requires a two tone paint scheme, has a painted windscreen, a broken tow hitch and is showing the years of neglect is one thing, but doing two in one makeover is....errrr....two things?!
These two vehicles were quite the challenge and I had to try my best to overcome each hurdle that was presented to me. One of those hurdles was near to the end when I had to strip both models back to the metal due to failed paint jobs! - Sometimes I feel like giving up, but I always remember the joy of finally finishing a model and realising that I have won another battle.
Some of you may notice a subtle change, I have a new camera. I recorded everything in 4K vision but it was going to take so long to render and upload the massive files that they would not have been out before midnight here in Australia. That is my deadline and , as always, I was panicked towards the end thinking that I would not make it. I hope you all can appreciate how stressful this hobby can be but that the rewards are well worth it.

Marty. Don’t rush for our sake. Enjoy what you are doing and have fun. That way we have fun too. If it becomes a chore for you, it’s no longer fun for us. Do it for you first and foremost. Love the makeover!
The ONLY Matchbox I owned as a youngster was the Lilac Caddy (I collected Dinky)! It was a "gag" gift from a favourite uncle. Thanks for the trip into my past, and thanks for another terrific restoration!
My favorite makeover not because the others are not exciting as this one because of how you solve the problems you face. I’m really a fan of your restorations and videos thanks for sharing your knowledge . Greetings from Puerto Rico all over the other side of the world, take care my friend ... Jesus González
Dear Marty, there is only one expression in spanish-mexican language that you deserve: Qué bárbaro!!!! You are not a customizer, you are an artist. Congratulations!
Marty, you say you’re not a professional and I would have to disagree. Your videos and the work you do on these models are some of the best original restorations that I have come across. I’ve seen most of the videos that you’ve posted and watched several other people try to restore matchbox and hot wheels cars, and I think that the work you do is some of the best I’ve seen if not the best. I would be honored to have one of the models that you have restored. If I had a vintage Leslie I would definitely send it to you to restore. Don’t underestimate yourself and keep on restoring these vintage models for future generations to enjoy.
WOW! great post Sean, thanks heaps! Marty.
Marty, you are a great welder, plastic handler, comic and an all around good guy!
Really good restoration. Excellent demonstration of rebuilding the tow bar.
" I am happy with that" ! My philosophy of life : do the best you can, and that's all you can do. Once again, top notch makeover Marty.
I particularly enjoy watching your technique improve over the years.
Nice job!
We never stop learning. My dad died last year 2 months short of his 84th birthday. I moved the small town where he was living to help him out a few years before. He was an avid cook, as am I. Anyway my point is. I made a couple dishes he had never even heard of before, and loved them.
Hey sir marty... as a 15 year old kid from philippines tries to restores some of these, you did a preetty good job teaching tips... and entertaing the audience while restoring it... have a good day... stay safe...
Hi Marty, For what it's worth, I think you do a great job. Certainly better than anything I could do. A trip down memory lane every week. A few laughs. It's a real tonic. All the best . T
I don't know how I missed this video but great restoration on the two Cadillacs they look incredible
Marty, you may not consider yourself a professional, but I would say you are an absolute master at your craft. By far the best and most enjoyable channel on TH-cam for me.
WOW! - Thanks so much! :) Marty
Hello Marty. You have made a wonderful job in this Cadilac. Congratulations
You did a fantastic masking of the body for painting the roofs. Think that is the best I have seen in redo videos. Enjoyed the make overs of these Caddies.
Hi Marty, those two were really a challenge. What with the globs of paint everywhere, the manufacturing of the two new tow bars, and working with custom blended metallic paints, you did, as always, a magnificent job. And you are so nice, using items and suggestions from viewers, that more than once have been very disastrous. You're a good man, Marty. Thanks for another entertaining video. Sorry you are under the weather. Hot toddy time. See ya next time.
Very nice Marty, I do enjoy watching your videos and I look forward to your Saturday releases You do excellent work.
Excellent work as always! As someone who works on full scale auto resto, I thought you might give a small scale try of one of our larger scale tricks. Auto transmission fluid has in it chemicals that are designed to bring back some of the life in the rubber seals found inside those kinds of transmissions. It might be interesting to try it out on a couple of the tires in your restorations. Sure makes large rubber parts in a car's engine compartment look new and also brings back some of their suppleness. Might make for another good trick in your collection of good tricks! Thanks for doing these vids. I really enjoy watching how you bring them back!
Nice job Marty. I hope you feel better soon. Looking forward to your next restoration. Cheers from Clearwater Florida.
Marty. You always do a terrific job. That washer idea gave me the idea of drilling out a beer bottle cap small enough for the axle to fit through, while leaving enough metal to cover the tire and giving you enough metal to hold on to while grinding the axle. I hope I have this idea when I sober up. Cheers.......
Another good makeover Marty get well soon cause I am looking forward to your unboxing video on Wednesday makes my day seeing what delightful item have being sent to you also weapons of mass finger destruction. 🇬🇧
Your best is above and beyond! Perfection is the enemy of the good.
So true!
MMM Sunday morning with a cup ‘o joe. Life is good. I think I see Kevin snoozing in the back seat. Sorry you are feeling under the weather, Marty. Greetings from Los Angeles
Very nice job with the tow bar. Great video as always.
My father-in-law had that original Cad in red--a gorgeous car and a worthy Matchbox inspiration.
I love your videos. So soothing!
Wonderful!! Love custom vs original restore because you can do a better job than they could from the factory!
Those are a couple of classic beauties. Good on ya,mate.
Excellent video! As a dentist, I love to see that you’ve discovered another use for my tools. Regarding the ultrasonic cleaner, yes, use just water in the larger chamber as a means to carry the ultrasonic waves to the smaller chamber holding your parts. Only the smaller chamber needs to have any cleaner in it. We use one like that in my office daily. I’m new to this hobby and can’t wait to try my first!
That is a gorgeous model, full of character and reminiscent of America at its most potent. You did both models justice.
The chairman of my USAuto club here in the UK owned and drove the real thing. The details on the model itself were spot on. Nice model restoration.
Excellent work on those caddies that was an extreme makeover
Hey Marty keep it up, even my 18 pound one eyed kitten is now watching as she heard you were making over a CATillac👍😁
Excellent make overs!
Hi Marty! At the final part of the video you say: "No perfect restoration"... 🤯 Man! ¿Are you kidding? This job probe very challenging task, in fact you take a pair of scrap pieces and turned on an almost 'state of the art restoration' car replicas! 🤩👍 From the very start of this video you show the right way for any modeller: solid reference source, color options análisis and your well known depured technics (plus your personal charming & sense of humour 😉) and Vöila! Your humility about your job it's a eye-catching living part of your Channel, Marty! 😁 Best regards for you & your team (your family)
Greetings, you did a beautiful job on these Cadillacs!! ❤🏆
Another great video, Marty!
Absolutely brilliant, Marty, to solve your paint problems on the windscreens, Scale Coat paint and decal remover. I use it on old built ups from the 1960's and '70s to get the paint off . Most of your paint from back then is testors enamel. I've used it on model kit windows also. No damage. Get a couple bottles, And try it out. Get feeling better mate.
for cars that are nearly 60 years old, they look amazing! I didn't look as good when I was 60! LOL Nice job Marty. thank you. Hope you are feeling better real soon.
Once again artistic efforts of multiple generations come undone. I'm not sure if they would be happy with that!
Cracking job as far as I can see! Thanks for the tips along the way.
Beautiful job on both of those caddies. You did a great job on soldering those tow hitches back on.I too am one who keeps the hitches on most of the matchboxes i do. Great job
Another marvellous MMM, I do like the classics!!
Your the man Marty, My go to guy on how to do! Think I've watched every episode
Beautiful job Marty! thanks for sharing!
Awesome resto . I love the look of the original matchbox car
Marty, every mechanic, handyman, and modeler comes to realize that when a small part flies off a project, it disappears into an alternate dimension never to be seen again.😝
Great job as always Marty. God Bless. Stay safe.
Love your work. Wished I could had kept my old Matcbox cars. I would had picked up on this hobby. Being nostalgic in my age.😊😊😊😊
I’m happy with those ... 😎 Another great job Marty.
Yet another great make over marty
Feel better soon Marty! Excellent job as always!!
Love the colours, look like they was a part of a matchbox series. Greatings from denmark
In soldering, the flow you mentioned is called ":wetting":. You do great work. I'm learning more all the time.
Another favorite Matchbox of mine. I have one has the black wheels and is also missing the rear ones, which is pretty common. I especially like how you keep cannibalizing that impala taxi for parts!
Great skill set there Marty.
"You stupid Prick." It's like your speaking right to me!
Hope you feel better. See you next time!
I really like the soldering. First is always lucky. Second always suxr. Succeeding work always improves. I'm happy with that.
Beautiful job Marty
The way those rear axles are held in place by the car body is so clever, as is the detailed casting. My admiration for those early designers working at Lesney knows no bounds. They were true craftsmen.
What a sick car to restore buddy I love the think fins on the old Caddilacs I also like the old Impalas with the tear drop rear tail lights.
Keep up the good work mate
Marty they look tip-top. Great job
Nice! Love those castings! Time for a hot toddy to cure that cold! Hope you feel better!
Marty on your wire wheel on your dremal try putting a little bit of super glue around the base of the wires at the center of the wheel. Helps a lot to hold the wires in place when it is spinning.
Saw That Method On Another Car Make Over Channel, Seems To Work 👍.
Marty,
I am very glad to see you doing the Muggy weld stuff. I looked into it about a year back and was worried that the Zamack metal would melt while working it. So I didn't buy it. But you really have me confidant to try it myself. Thank you, you're videos are always great and show new things that make me think and then see if I can do similar on my customs. Please keep up your amazing videos.
Great news James, I so hope you get to try the Muggy weld as I have only scratched the surface and think I shall be using it more and more in the future.
Marty, great job on the 2 Cadillac Matchbox models. They look great.
Lovely job on both of these, the green one is beautiful though such a nice colour.
Top restoration on both cars Marty. I enjoyed your video very much. Cheers...
Well, I hope you and Kevin feel better soon. Give the little fuzzy guy some extra eucalyptus leaves. 🙂
Excellent as always. Get well soon Marty.
You say there is not such thing as a perfect makeover but then you do it! Get well soon!!
Another excellent video
Learnt loads
Thanks for sharing
Have to confess I wasn't really enthusiastic about the roof of the purple one. Just didn't get my hair standing up. The green and off white was cool and I could see that combo in a showroom in the old days. Just not the other one...hard work may man. Good job!
excellent job both look amazing
Marty, fantastic as always, it is such a fun and entertaining break from the every day routine of life to spend a few minutes with you watching you do your magic with these models. I cannot help my self and have stolen your line, "I am happy with that", I hope you don't mind, Wayne, Churubusco, Indiana.....
The trailer hitch was awesome to watch. I catch every video. Too good for the phone, now i cast it to my TV. Soon they'll be Marty watching parties around the world
Great job Marty, I hope you and Kevin feel better soon.........👍
Awesome job as always....
2 more quality restos, they look great 👍👍
Always enjoy your work, and your accent!
beautiful cadillac's ....love the honest comments you make .
You really did your best.
keep up the good work marty!
Quite amazing! 👏
Great job !! Duo turned out beauty...😍😍😍👌🏼
They both look beautiful Marty well done 👍
Keep up the good work. Look forward to your videos every week
A right couple of beauties Marty .... The Cadillacs l mean , nice job mate 😄👍
Another wonderful job, Well done Sir
Throughout the video, I kept wondering if you were getting sick. I could hear it in your voice. I hope that you (and Kevin) are feeling better soon! However, another terrific restoration on two beautiful vehicles. Wonderful to watch. Thank you, and get well!
Love your videos Marty. Keep up the good work.
Beautiful job! They both came out great!
Great job as always. I like the top of both models ( the glossy paint) the most
Metallic colors worked out well. You are quite right about doing your best. ps I miss seeing your wife.
Marty your attention to detail is amazing thanks for the amazing videos I always enjoy them keep up the good work big hello from Blighty god bless
Both came out really nice. Awesome job.
My first real car was a 1958 Cadillac Sixty Special - same body as the model depicts! Mine was black. Ahhh, memories. Always enjoy your videos, Marty.
A man on a galloping horse wouldn’t notice. Love it. I’ve never heard that, before I started watching your videos. I enjoy them so much. I always laugh at your comments during your unboxing videos. Keep it up.
The term I know from many years ago when discussing slight imperfections is " a blind man on a galloping horse wouldn't notice that " !
No offence meant to the visually impaired.
Great job Marty they both came out really nice 👍👍😊
Awesome restoration Marty !!!!!!!!!!
Amazing transformation, far better than they started.
Diecast resurrection was using such batery mixer, and later quit doin so bcs it was pouring air intoo the paint. Keep that in mind Marty. Happy to see your videos!
