Matchbox Restoration: Lamborghini Countach No. 027 

Yes indeed. The superfasts are the best!!!

Thank you!! I had a lot of back and forth on what to do with the paint. I took inspiration from the countach LP500. Which this casting was based on. I hope you enjoyed!!

@@COMMONDAVE419 Do you ever do these restorations as a paid service? And what would you charge for something as extensive as this?

It depends on condition of what I start with and yes. I make customs and do restorations on the side. Anywhere from 35-100 depending on what needs to be done.

Thank you!! The casting was based off of the countach LP500. So I wanted to keep that theme. From everything I researched the LP500 was a prototype/concept car. They also did one in purple. And yes this one did not have a wing. If you have a chance google countach LP500 it's a beautiful car!! Thank you and I hope you enjoyed!!

@@COMMONDAVE419 Yes l did enjoy the video and thanks for the faxs about the real Lamborghini the matchbox was based on.

Of course!!

It is a future project!! It is stock right now.

@@COMMONDAVE419 Too many honestly... I have Hot Wheels, Matchbox, M2, Johnny Lightning, Autoworld, Greenlight, and Ertl. What's your favorite castings?

I'm a huge fan of the syclone. I love the time machine delorean aswell. But yes I also collect a ton of others. Lol. I kinda just buy what catches my eye.

@@COMMONDAVE419 A man named Dave is never common. Your welcome David.

That's super awesome. I hope to add the mint one to my collection soon! Thank you! And I hope you enjoyed!!!

Thank you!! I trying to be as delicate as I can with the old casting and pieces. I personally prefer to use hand sanding. I feel like I have more precise control that way. Yes, it is probably a fast process, you are not wrong. I appreciate the question!! I hope you enjoyed!!

Nah, just remember you got to play with it. Should bring back fun times and memories!!

Thank you sir!!

Thank you!! I hope you enjoyed!!

Yes indeed. Most of the time I look them up. This one I took inspiration from the LP500. Also have to remember this is just a toy Car. Sometimes I have plans to go much further but when I get to a point I'm happy with I stop. I hope you enjoyed!! Thank you for the comment.

Thank you very much!!

Thank you!! I think they fit the car really well! I hope you enjoyed!!

That's so cool!! And thank you!!

Thank you!!

I appreciate the question and thank you. Just a safety step to eliminate a possible paint issue is all. Anytime you have questions let me know!!

@@COMMONDAVE419 thanks for the info, appreciate the reply. Keep up the killer work.

Thank you and anytime!!

That's so cool!! It's such a cool casting. I had a ton of fun with this one.

Hope you enjoyed!!!

I agree with the wheels, I had a tough time picking em for the look I wanted. I want to do as minimal modification to the inside chassis as I could while still keeping this wheel set up. And yes this casting was based off of the countach LP500. If you google countach LP500 you will see where I got my inspiration from. Beautiful car. I also believe they did one in purple. Thank you for watching and I do hope you enjoyed!!

That's awesome!!! It's a cool casting.

I'm sure they aret but like everyone else condition is a big factor.

Thank you!! I used paint stripper on the metal and I used alcohol on the plastic.

@@COMMONDAVE419 ty for your answer 👍

Thank you!! I hope you enjoyed!!

Very cool!!

That's awesome!! You gotta find it!!

Thank you!! Not bad for a 50 year old toy car though!!

Thank you!!! I appreciate that!! I hope you enjoy!! Check out the Playlists. There is tons off stuff to watch!

@@COMMONDAVE419 you're welcome anytime!!!, thanks will check out your other videos as well.

That's so awesome!! Hope you enjoyed!!!

I unfortunately threw away the container. I bought it a few years ago at Walmart. I apologize!!

That's so awesome!! Great casting.

Super cool!! Now I need to see how many different versions there were. Lol hope you enjoyed!!

Zip kicker. It is a CA accelerator.

Thank you!! I appreciate it!! Glad you enjoyed!!

I agree. One day I'll get one. I still enjoy doing them this way. I hope you enjoyed!!

@@COMMONDAVE419 Giving toys back to life instead of throwing them away is always a great thing. If it can make someone happy it is doing its job

Thats a spring loaded center punch.

Awesome!!! It's fun isn't it?

I personally like music in the videos. I appreciate the input, and I'll keep that in mind for the future!! Thank you, and regardless of music, I hope you enjoyed!!!

Thank you!!!
