I think the quality of the finish itself is stunning. Personally, I think I'd have preferred a darker, more saturated shade of red for the final colour as to my eye that shade appears orange - but still, beautiful overall.
he DID paint it red, the new paint is polyurethane trash and should not be used. i would go to an automotive store and get a little can of lacquer spraypaint and mix my own colors and not use hot wheels crap paint
Quite possibly the most beautiful diecast resto I've ever seen (I kinda liked the whitewall tires but still awesome). Wow. The green/orange one was my favorite matchbox as a kid and yes, I think the color was intended to grab a kid's attention. I remember picking it out from the revolving case and getting the Matchbox box with the car inside. Those SuperFast Matchbox cars were the cadillac of diecast! Thanks for the awesome vid and the great memories it brought back.
This car turned out so great, i love Lesney cars, i really enjoyed the process of learning about their history, I personally really like the look of the original matchbox wheels and that is probably the only thing i would have done differently. Most people will like it the way you have done it, those wheels look awesome too. Good job.
I had this car as a kid in the 70s and 80s. It was my dads favorite and one of my favorites. It was the fastest car I had on the orange hot wheels track. Sold all my cars in the late 90s, regret it all the time.
My parents took their 25th anniversary trip in 1971 and brought back a multi-car pack that had this, the Ford Group VI (green), a Ferrari 512 (?) (red), a Lotus Europa (pinkish-purple), and one other I can't recall. So your surmise of early 70's is spot-on. Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd then I see the copyright 1970 on the car bottom.
Wow!!! It looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor, fantastic. And the wheels and tires make it pop even more. It looks so real that I want to get in it and drive it on a track. Love your channel, haven't missed a video yet.
Looks great! I love that the Redline shop strives to come up with better methods to achieve great / better restorations! You are still & will always be my favorite 1/64 scale restoration Go to! Thanks again!
Why this was in my recommendations is beyond me. But I still watched it for some reason. And actually watched the entire thing lol. Sometimes it's fun to just say F it, and watch a random recommendation. Nice video btw. Car turned out great
Great job! This is one of my favorite restorations; the color and paint is super and I love the undercarriage flat black and oversized wheels in the back.
You did a fantastic transformation on this car. Its almost doesn't look like the original you started with. This car reminds me of a car that was used in an episode of Speed Racer. I believe they made a diecast of it when they release all the speed racer cars back when the movie came out.
Holy shit! I literally have this exact model... age and damage is almost identical too! Totally wicked seeing what mine could look like. Seriously considering trying this out of a few old common beaters I have. EXCELLENT JOB!
It certainly gives a person another direction in which to go, paint wise. I would have thought a polished body would have given the best shine. I see the logic of the crystals and the reflection of light off them. Like most things in life, it's never as simple as it looks.
It ended up looking great! I never liked these cars as a kid in the 70s, but now I think they are awesome. I like the 'tube technique' for the axles, and the tires look great overall. 😎
I remember owning this car. I loved the looks of the Matchbox cars. Plus some had suspension. I loved the look of this one. Sadly I lost it and I've never found a replacement. Well one that was cheap enough. Beautiful car though.
I love these cars and have 4 or 5 of them myself waiting to restore. Thank you for the inspiration as always! I do like the way this one looks with the new wheels and paint method. I agree it hides metal flaws better but your "usual" method of zinc plating with straight spectra flame over it does the job very well.
i gave away all my cars some years ago when we moved. i wish i still had mine just to see how rough the shape i put them in is lol but they went to a new home of a kid whos probably beating the shit out of em too lol cool to see you restore cars i used to play with.
Awesome job! Car looks great! As for the new painting method, I think I speak for a lot of your audience when I say, if you're happy with it, we're happy with it!
Wow this is definitely one of your best transformations. The paint looks awesome. Will be nice to see it with a darker color. Oh and the black matte base looked great. Nice touch
Nice finish! Would prefer a darker deeper tone of that spectra red. But it can’t please everybody. Good idea on adding the axle tubing to the front wheels 👍🏽
Man, what a beautiful car, I'm surprised I'd never heard of it before this vid. While the model came out spectacularly, I honestly think the whitewall side of the tires would've looked better...then again, I'm one of those crazies who think whitewalls make any vintage car look better.
If a leaf falls in a forest, and Heisenberg isn't watching, is Schrodinger's cat alive or dead? I don't know if I'd have noticed the Windshield gap at the end the restoration if you hadn't mentioned it in the beginning. The painting technique is the best result I've seen anyone do. Your videos are wonderfully instructive and a real blessing to the hobby enthusiasts who hold these toy cars dear, and in this case, to automotive lovers in general. Thank you!
You made that car 10x better. I love the flat matte base and the tires are a great look. Im not a big fan of that silver coat....i still think a better result is with zinc plating and polishing...but thats my opinion. Your end result still looks amazing.
I think the quality of the finish itself is stunning. Personally, I think I'd have preferred a darker, more saturated shade of red for the final colour as to my eye that shade appears orange - but still, beautiful overall.
Agreed it looks extremely orange on camera, but maybe it’s more of a red irl
I like the orange shade. Unusual and beautiful. The contrasting matte black is a great touch too.
Nice looking paint. Not crazy about the orange-ish color. The deep red of the photo prototype car looks really nice IMO
he DID paint it red, the new paint is polyurethane trash and should not be used. i would go to an automotive store and get a little can of lacquer spraypaint and mix my own colors and not use hot wheels crap paint

I have mine from when I was a kid. It needs some work, so you posted this at the right time. Thanks.
I like the paint and the car looks great. I can't believe how nice it turned out and it looks closer to the real car now then it originally did.
Wow!!! It looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor, fantastic. And the wheels and tires make it pop even more. It looks so real that I want to get in it and drive it on a track. Love your channel, haven't missed a video yet.
I think it looks great. Always delighted to ride along as you try something new.

Baremetalhw....You are a true craftsman... I'm a huge fan
fixing the stance of the front end makes a huge difference. great job!
It turned out great fantastic as original as you can come to look.hit it spot on.
The car looks absolutely stunning sir. You did an amazing job on the paint. The wheels are a perfect match for the car. Can't wait to see it again.
Great job! This is one of my favorite restorations; the color and paint is super and I love the undercarriage flat black and oversized wheels in the back.
It turned out lovely. I really like the color. To me it looks like a shiny copper.
These videos are so much better than asmr for me.
Oh oh oh that paintjob is AWESOME 👌 love the finish the look the cour choice.
Very nice finished product. Good choice of color. Really matches the look and era of the car.

So rad! Never knew this prototype even existed. Looks gnarly.
Love the way this one turned out ! Purely awesome to me !
The paint job is incredible!
Your new paint system is amazing!!! I gasped when I saw it. Between the paint job and the color you chose its perfect
Beautiful. One of the best ones yet.
The look really comes through on camera! Awesome technique!
I love the new painting technique. Gives such a rich finish
Holy shit! I literally have this exact model... age and damage is almost identical too! Totally wicked seeing what mine could look like. Seriously considering trying this out of a few old common beaters I have. EXCELLENT JOB!
I still have one of these sitting downstairs! I always loved it as a kid
Turned out awesome, dig the sparkle in the finish.
I really admire how you do such "magic" with painting these tiny cars. My only comment is "Wow, nice job".
I see a BMHW video, I click like. Looks great as usual!
It certainly gives a person another direction in which to go, paint wise. I would have thought a polished body would have given the best shine. I see the logic of the crystals and the reflection of light off them. Like most things in life, it's never as simple as it looks.
Thanks for the history of that Lesney
Absolutely love this one! Looks slick! Color scheme is hot and the new paint method looks great!
It ended up looking great! I never liked these cars as a kid in the 70s, but now I think they are awesome. I like the 'tube technique' for the axles, and the tires look great overall. 😎
wow...beatiful car, when i was child have one congratulation from Costa Rica...
I remember owning this car. I loved the looks of the Matchbox cars. Plus some had suspension. I loved the look of this one. Sadly I lost it and I've never found a replacement. Well one that was cheap enough. Beautiful car though.
He owns this game on this rock. Incredible.

I agree it hides metal flaws better but your "usual" method of zinc plating with straight spectra flame over it does the job very well.
I think the paint looks amazing. It is definitely an option to the spectraflame process as a whole. Thanks for sharing the experimental process
Awesome video! I’ve been waiting patiently for a new one :)
Really like the color and wheel choice,nice job.
i gave away all my cars some years ago when we moved. i wish i still had mine just to see how rough the shape i put them in is lol but they went to a new home of a kid whos probably beating the shit out of em too lol cool to see you restore cars i used to play with.
That’s a pretty stunning result!
I like the new technique. The car looks factory fresh, which seems to be the goal

Totally rad! Groovy job, man. Far out!

Amazing job on this model 👍
I have one of these and just didn't know what to do with it. Thanks for the inspiration 😎
Beautiful finish , looks amazing.
Very nice finish, thanks for sharing
You did a great job on that I want to do the same thing with my alpha Carabo by matchbox . Where did you get those wheels? "they are stunning ! 😮
Man that looks amazing. Please do more redlines with different wheels
Basic stuff but outstanding results. I feel like this turns out better than mixing the metal flake.
In love with that color
Man.... I Love These Videos👍
It’s like I’m back in time when my cars were new, many..many....many years ago😂
Nice finish! Would prefer a darker deeper tone of that spectra red. But it can’t please everybody.
Good idea on adding the axle tubing to the front wheels 👍🏽
Nice job! Love the paint!
Great video, and the car looks amazing!
Man, what a beautiful car, I'm surprised I'd never heard of it before this vid. While the model came out spectacularly, I honestly think the whitewall side of the tires would've looked better...then again, I'm one of those crazies who think whitewalls make any vintage car look better.
Just an opinion, but I liked the white walls better.
Great job on the restoration!
Great job, looks amazing. 😎👍
Wonderfull paintjob.
How the heck do you park/back up in this thing?
You put periscope up.
X-90 you don’t
With mirrors like my 18 wheeler.
Camera
The Ferguson Lover step out of the car like the Countach I guess
Looks really good like the colour
Great updated look for that car! Color wise tho, looks to light for me. Keep up the great work. Love the vids.
Paint looks great!
