MATCHBOX Restoration No 42b Studebaker Lark Wagonaire 1965
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ต.ค. 2018
- This Studebaker Lark Wagonaire is what the British call an 'Estate vehicle", the Americans and Australians call it a "Station wagon'. This vehicle is somewhat unusual as it has a rear roof hatch that slides forwards to make the rear compartment open to the elements. Some of these models came out with painted rear hatches and some were plain metal. I restored this one to a plain metal hatch as I assumed that if played with in the future any paint on the sliding hatch would be scored or worn off. I am very pleased with the finished model as it looks in pristine condition nestled in amongst my other models in my glass display cabinet. Under the magnification of the all seeing camera it's flaws are laid bare; but in the real world, it presents as new!! - Another Matchbox Lesney model restored to near new condition.

Your thoroughness in demonstrating both successes and fails is a testament to you as a teacher and one who inspires. Always enjoy the bit of humor you interject.
Definitely gave the old Stude it's soul back, I can tell he's much happier now
The hits keep coming, Marty! I truly look forward to your outstanding restorations.
I love the old Studebakers. Wish I'd been born twenty years younger, I'd have bought one..... or more!
A lovely simple model. Nothing flashy or fancy, just a typical car like your dad might drive. BareMetalHW did a lovely customization on this model but yours gave it just the right amount of TLC to let the beauty of the original toy shine through. Thanks for another great restoration!
Mighty job! Thank you for yet another loving restauration.
These videos are weirdly addictive! I love your work Marty! Keep them coming!
How to enjoy the weekend. Well done Marty!
Dude , Blood...Sweat...and tears, in restoring. ...
GREAT joy!
Another great renovation. A very shiny result. Thanks.
THANK YOU...for sharing. Marty another great save.
You are welcome!
Ouch, your foot! Great work BTW!
I see that your wife got a new toothbrush.👍
Thanks for another great clip.
Marty, I live about 25 mins from South Bend, Indiana where the Studebakers were manufactured for many years. I was a child of the 80's and had hundreds of Matchbox and Hotwheels cars in my collection. They are all long gone now though. I had a friend that his dad let us play with some of his old Matchbox. I remember a Lark wagon very similar to this one with a dog in the back, I also remember the ice cream truck! I am really enjoying your videos and hope you keep cranking them out at a fast rate! I have nearly watched all of them now.
HA! I did the exact same thing with that kind of knife once... a long, long time ago. I just yanked it out, bled a lot and lived.
It’s always nice to see the magic you do. Really great job Marty. And again I love the blooper at the end.
Hi Marty I'm an old ewp teacher (Technical school) To assist starting the tap after drilling set the car body in the drill vice and the tap in the drill chuck turn the chuck by hand for a couple of turns then use the tap handle. another tip never have your hand below the drill because if it brakes you now where it will finish up still its you hand so go for it .
Thanks for the videos and I love the comments at the end
Just going back over Marty's older videos - He's really improved his video presentation, he's got so much more confident! Great stuff!
Hey Marty, another brilliant video!! Love your work - as always spot on and I actually laugh out loud watching - you must have the same sense of humour as me. My wife always calls out when she hears me laughing and asks what can be so funny about watching a matchbox restoration vid. Looking forward to the next restoration.
So glad that you enjoy the humour elements!
Everybody can buy or destroy; only very few can restore. Thank you Marty
Very nice Finished model.
Dirty matchbox car Happy/ Healthy childhood.
Gee I am glade that I am not the only one who bit of a problem reassembling models,another fantastic job done do enjoy your videos.
Always nice to see your work Marty. Great job!
Colour match looks pretty much spot on. Nice job.
Big improvement! Good job!
Beautiful work, yet again. I'm really enjoying this series! I'd almost forgotten what a handsome vehicle the Studebaker Lark was. You've got the colour bang on. I just might have to get myself one, now. Thanks!
Nice job, Marty. Love the color - colour.
I enjoy your videos , voice over explanations, first rate details. Others videos, of the same ilk, are a bit slap-dash. Looking forward to more. Thank you
Keep the videos coming, these cars take me back to my childhood. Well done mate
Will do Chris.
Got a lesney coming in the mail I’m gonna give it a go. My hobby is normally riding and fixing old brit motorcycles but this seems like it be a relaxing when the bike restorations gets frustrating. Thanks for the inspiration.
To color match I've found it to be easier to cut a hole in the sample card and then place it over the object I want to match. It's very easy then to see how close the color is. This way you don't have any distracting patterns, shadows, or other colors to fool the brain.
I like your suggestion, thanks for that might give it a go!
Now there's a tip I can use. Thanks for that!
Another brilliant restoration Marty.
Thanks Ivan :D
So i was drinking Lithuanian grapefruit beer when watching this and shot beer out my nostrils when you dropped the hobby knife in your foot. Just fyi, it burns.
Love the Studebarker Lark, thanks for doing the resto!
What an accident with the exacto knife.. great job on the model!
I saw one of these done on a different channel. He repainted it in yellow. He did a nice job, but I think I like the blue better.
Think that was baremetalHW channel and yeah the blue looks way better.
An original colour the blue. I try to restore my models as close as possible to their original condition.
@@Tiger351 I thought it was him, but I wasn't completely certain.
Brilliant. As kids we were always fascinated by any opening features, and I remember this one well for the sliding rear roof section.
It was a really neat feature on the real car too! 👍
ThankYou for the nice Sunday afternoon restoration video beautyful job like Always. Also thanks for your reaction for ordering the decals and hook for the Matchbox no 13. Greetings from Holland
You are most welcome!
Great job, Marty! Nice to see you got a new toothbrush for cleaning!
Awesome job Marty! Love your attention to detail.
Hi Marty, Ouch, be careful with your hobby knife. Hope the wife was nearby with a band-aid. Another excellent restore of a classic Matchbox model, well done and thank you for sharing the video. Cheers, Rich S.
Excellent restoration! A repaint and polish makes such a difference to these Matchboxes. I have one as well. Came in a job lot, and was missing the tow hook. Got a repro. plastic towhook for it. The paint is not too bad on mine, so I left it as is for now. I noticed too, while drilling it apart that the rear rivet post is very close to the edge of the sloping tailgate, and does not leave much room to tap a thread for a screw. While I had the interior out, I swapped over the steering wheel to make it right hand drive. Studebakers like this Lark were assembled by AMI (Australian Motor Industries) in Port Melbourne and sold here. It now displays hitched up to a #38 Honda motorcycle and trailer.
Another great job!! I have that model and I believe it came with two dogs and a hunter holding a rifle. Your car looks better then mine. Keep up the GREAT VIEDOS, they help me to remember when I colleted my 75.
I am so glad you left the bit with the hobby knife in the video. Thanks for the laugh! Hope your foot is better soon.
What's up Marty. Looks awesome, totally agree with the paint thinner being necessary to prevent clumps. I could recommend giving it a quick wet sand and buff job as well, I think it deserves it👌
Ab Fab, Marty. You are the gold standard of Matchbox restoration.
yet another great job, i admire your skill and patience, and i would love to see your model display of your restorations,
Best yet. Nicely done. Love the color and appreciate the detail you paint in. Easy to forget these are 1/64th when watching on the 42" Sony.
Also, you are crazy as a bedbug! BE CAREFUL WITH KNIVES!!! :-D
The paint turned out so well!
Love the outakes as much as I do the restoration footage!
Love the vids. A trip down memory lane. Careful with the Xacto knife Marty!
Best example of why you should wear shoes when you're using a modelling knife I've seen in a while lol. Greetings from NSW.
Ha! Ha! - YES! :D
Brother did that many years ago...straight through his boot and into his foot, those blades are soooooo sharp leather won't stop it
Suggestion: Look into buying a ‘bottom tap’. Those are designed to tap all the way to the bottom of the hole you drilled. The one you use does NOT tap threads to the bottom of the hole. The one you want has a flat bottom, the one you use has a pointy bottom.
Good info Steve - I will do some more homework!
Nice colour matching,amazing all together Marty!
Beautifully enunciated. I think that accent is called, “Queensland International“ Nicely done and good to see that you don’t take it all to seriously. Once your sense of humour is drier that a pommies towel, you are true blue.
it warms my heart seeing these old cars that have seen a lot of playtime get cleaned and fixed up.
Beautiful makeover. Love the color of the paint. On camera sometimes it doesn’t look quite the same shade as original but your mix is actually much better!
Good job
It is insane the knife landed in your foot face down.. Ouch. Feel better and great restoration
Your inspirational videos have given me a new hobby. Always enjoy watching them,keep them coming as I am learning a lot of tips from you.
Nice job Marty you nailed the colorspot on ! Paint job came out great.
I would have added a bit of red to the tail lights just to finish it off, another excellent job, with a bit of humour added. People on a car forum I'm on are starting to use your tips when restoring diecasts too.
That's fantastic news!!! - Glad I could help!
Nice work!!
Thanks Pablo!
i have one of those, really love the rear sliding part metal too not plastic,
Out of all the cars you have done so far this is one I would like to own. Great job!
Thanks james!
I had one of these Marty. Great video on the restoration. Looks like critters have been living in it! There was an ambulance version of this model. The cool thing is the actual full size vehicle on which this model I based.
I have two of these. Beautiful job as always. Thank you for sharing
Love the restoration work. You’re getting really professional with all of it including the video editing! 👏👏👏
I had that model. I distinctly remember that the sliding room on mine was gray plastic.
I was born 1971 I seen those cars in demolition races so cool to see a restore on a matchbox car,,,takes me back in time.
Marty, I'm a seventy year old Yank who used to collect the Lesney / Matchbox vehicles when I was a kid. Sometimes I would take them apart and repaint them with Testor's spray enamel; and sometimes, I would remove the body of some one of them and mount them on an HO scale electric model chassis and use them on a race track. Due to the weight of the diecast bodies, they weren't very fast, but they sure looked cool. This wasn't an original idea in my part, I read about how to do this in a magazine devoted to HO scale cars. There was one truck which I believe was called a Delivery Lorry, it was a deep maroon in color, it was my favorite. Thanks for your videos, I will get to all of them
Roy
Marty, I really enjoy your work. You really bring the models back to life. Keep up the good work and watch those flying knives!
Well done Marty!! Looks beautiful!!
Great work. I love the path you're talking on the videos, it's great to have the music at that volume!
Great find! Good job!
i always love that you include a screw when drilling out the rivet.....for future maintenance...usually those toys are just riveted shut and when broken you have to shug it.
Love the idea of future use.........recycling as it should be!!!
Another fine restoration Marty
.
What an amazing hobby enjoyed this so much. OH MY on the knife drop!
Beautiful restoration Marty, I have a few of these to restore at some point.
That trick you did to the tow hitch is the same thing my uncle used to do. But he did it on motorcycles! One day, many years ago, he got a sports bike (CBR or something like that) and all the panels were broken. He managed to fix it with the same method you used and it looked new at the end of it!
Nice color collection Marty nice work
Sweet👌 My dad had an actual 64 Cruiser sedan in similar colour (white roof though). Iconic Studebaker traits: even at that scale😎
Awesome
Thanks!!!, you are the first to comment on this! :D
Marty's Matchbox Makeovers yey
Here at 7:52 I’m giving a very light spray of undercoat to my household furnishings! 🤪😂 Great video Marty. You’d better put some superglue and baking powder onto that wounded foot. 🥴
Yet another great resto. from "Mr. Matchbox"!! 😉 👏. As someone who is apparently open to suggestions... might I suggest that you save both time and potential damage by foregoing the tap process and just drill the holes and use a suitable self-tapping screw. I mean, it's not like these cars are likely to be disassembled again and even if they are... a self-tapper will still allow easy access. Just a thought! Keep bringing these little chunks of "rusty gold" back to life!! 👍
That is an amazing idea!!! - Thanks so much Roger, I shall be sourcing some self tappers as soon as I find some that are suitable! :) Could save me some heartache!
Another great job Marty. Thanks letting us know the metric sizes of drills, taps and screws.
Nice job.
Ever tried using baking soda and one of those sand blasters you can get from car parts store.
I use this carburettors and model plane motors. Cleans them like new without metal damage.
Such a lovely work and Hobby. I regret having sold my complete Matchbox King Size Collection, but I kept 48 vehicles of the regular wheels and the superfast wheels.
Amazing transformation.
That paint color is spot on!
Scapel in the foot ......,ouch 😲..... Great colour match Marty, you nailed it mate 👍
Outstanding I remember playing with this one and this buying the travel trailer that would hook on to it.
Wear shoes Marty. Sheesh! Thanks for posting this to watch. Looks very nice after your work, as usual.
I got one of these in 1968 and still have it in original condition, with box. Still, your restoration is quite a bit more attractive. Thank you always for your great work and amusing videos.
Hope your safe from the fires. You and your whole country are in my prayers!
Excellent work! Thank you for sharing.
Your vids have inspired me to try my hand at restoring an old matchbox. I ordered one off Ebay (a 1970 Dodge Charger Mk3) and I can't wait until it shows up in the mailbox. I've got all my materials from other modeling projects already, so I'm ready to go once the car arrives.
I've done complex models and projects over the years, but I've come to realize that I get far more satisfaction from the simple ones that only take a day or so to complete. With luck, restoring Matchboxes will satisfy my "busy hands" . And it's not very expensive since most cars can be had for around $5 and a few bucks for paint + a couple of hours.
Again, thank you for sharing and inspiring. Keep up the good work!
I wish you well with your new found hobby:)
Lovely stuff well done sir, Greetings from old South Wales :-)
All your missing is the dog and the hunter that came with the car when new. At least mine did , which I still have 😎
Yeah I am gonna buy a replacement set to make mine complete.
Fantastic paintwork!!
Thanks Bill.
another perfect restauration
