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 RU-vid 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!

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!

@cricketbat09 5 лет назад

What a detailed casting, boot hinges, etc. The Lesney factory was turning out superb models in 1957. Great makeover!

@MartysMatchboxMakeovers 5 лет назад

Alas they folded and diecast models were never the same in my opinion. :(

@cjimmer4877 3 года назад

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.

@256087 5 лет назад

A jewel stuck in mud... Great job and great video !

@danielbritton8588 5 лет назад

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.

@jasonmcleod8914 5 лет назад

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.

@AnthonyTaylor-bp6jv 5 лет назад

Great makeover Marty, and Kevin being hung up by his ears, priceless.

@Bedgie01 5 лет назад

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

@gordonwd2 5 лет назад

I love reading the headlines on your newspaper liners in your paintbox.

@josepherhardt164 4 года назад

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!

@elijahpiche4575 4 года назад

@satoruo2753 4 года назад

That car really needed a LOT of help! Great job in restoring that classic model to its former glory, Marty!

@josepherhardt164 4 года назад

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.

@remjr33 2 года назад

I think out of all the models you have done, this is one of my favorites!!!! You did a jam up job!

@dudeparistx 5 лет назад

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!!!!

@jetjazz05 5 лет назад

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.

@bgdavenport 4 года назад

Amazing resto! That old paint completely obscured the detail. And, another GREAT News Story!

@gavinhudson5251 5 лет назад

I never thought you could weld diecast. Nice to see the advances in technology.

@nicksubocz 5 лет назад

Neither did I. I was worried it'd end all melted.

@wrbergner 4 года назад

Outstanding craftsmanship on welding the hook-up. Treatment on the car overall was terrific.

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

An extraordinary restoration. The contrast is astonishing.

@georgecunningham9175 5 лет назад

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.

@brandonnicholls6095 5 лет назад

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!

@peterleid5060 4 года назад

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.

@lillieromero6982 5 лет назад

Love this restore! It took lots of patience. Removing the layers of paint revealed lords of details of the car, as usual...😍

@misterscaz6011 5 лет назад

Liked Kevin and his friend "hanging out to dry" at the end. Nice resto on a classic.

@alpinegeordie 5 лет назад

Belter Marty, I did a reverse engineering Job, a few years ago I was sick aged 58 and stuck in the house, so I made up a list of all the car I had owned during my driving lifetime, so I went on ebay and bought a model of every car, not all were in mint condition but that did deter me , now they are all on display in my office and take pride of place.... will send you a link to my video once it is done,, and a mention and thanks for the inspiration Geordie Bill in Switzerland

@chrisharrison6532 5 лет назад

Marty good attempt at a rough model well worth saving but not one of your best restorations in my opinion the end result was a poor finish and not worthy of the display cabinet I'm not being super critical just honest and Iook forward to the week ahead

@jeffbaker2897 5 лет назад

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. 😎👍👍👍

@MartysMatchboxMakeovers 5 лет назад

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.

@BuzzcutGtr 5 лет назад

Punishing Kevin whilst drying him out? LOL!! Brilliant work on the car (especially your work on the base) as always.

@anthonielegrange8688 5 лет назад

that blue color looks like the real thing .nicely done

@MartysMatchboxMakeovers 5 лет назад

Thanks Anthonie, I must admit that I love these old vintage colours on these cars!

@anthonielegrange8688 5 лет назад

I like your videos .especially how much effort that go's in every video . here in south Africa we don't see matchbox models like these ones. only the models from the 80's and later . thanks Marty for the video's enjoy it a lot ( dankie Marty vir die videos geniet dit baie )

@AugustMeteors 5 лет назад

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.

@hugochristiankuttelpalomo4778 5 лет назад

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.

@honeybreme5479 5 лет назад

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 🤣😂🤣

@Rhinexing 5 лет назад

Fantastic work as usual, Marty! A real pro job. And that color... 👍

@MartysMatchboxMakeovers 5 лет назад

I do love the colour! - It's so 60's!

@scifieric 5 лет назад

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.
