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.

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!
Excellent make overs!
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.
I love your videos. So soothing!
Really good restoration. Excellent demonstration of rebuilding the tow bar.
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
Marty, you are a great welder, plastic handler, comic and an all around good guy!
Beautiful job Marty
Another great video, Marty!
Quite amazing! 👏
Beautiful job Marty! thanks for sharing!
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 KZread for me.

WOW! - Thanks so much! :) Marty
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.

Always enjoy your work, and your accent!
Beautiful job! They both came out great!
Wonderful!! Love custom vs original restore because you can do a better job than they could from the factory!
Amazing transformation, far better than they started.
Awesome restoration Marty !!!!!!!!!!
Great job !! Duo turned out beauty...😍😍😍👌🏼
That is a gorgeous model, full of character and reminiscent of America at its most potent. You did both models justice.
Beautiful restorations.
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.
Wow! Those came out great! 😍
Hey Marty keep it up, even my 18 pound one eyed kitten is now watching as she heard you were making over a CATillac👍😁
Another wonderful job, Well done Sir
Both came out really nice. Awesome job.
Just started and can’t wait to see these restored!

I see what you mean. That metallic paint doesn’t have quite the fine finish as the gloss paints. That still look nice, as always.
Greetings, you did a beautiful job on these Cadillacs!! ❤🏆
My father-in-law had that original Cad in red--a gorgeous car and a worthy Matchbox inspiration.
Smashingly gorgeous cars
Love your videos Marty. Keep up the good work.
Those Cadillacs look awesome!
Pretty darn good!! Both look great 👍👍
They turned out beautiful.
Beautiful job per usual! 👍
I’m happy with those ... 😎 Another great 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.
Those metallic colours came up really well.
Love the bloopers at the end
They both look beautiful Marty well done 👍
Fantastic job, Marty.
What a transformation!
Love the colors! Really turned out nice.
Very nice and well done. WOW!
they look great like they always do. nice job
Love the colours, look like they was a part of a matchbox series. Greatings from denmark
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 👍.
Once again artistic efforts of multiple generations come undone. I'm not sure if they would be happy with that!
Marty they look tip-top. Great job
The metallic paint jobs came up a treat.
Excellent work!! You are amazing!!
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. 🇬🇧
Great work as always Marty!!
Fantastic, really enjoy your videos!!!
You have done your very best. Well done!!
Great job. They look awesome.
As always! Good job!
Keep up the good work. Look forward to your videos every week
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
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 work
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.😊😊😊😊
Amazing as always
Absolutely delicious to watch.
Beautiful Caddy"s!!!
They do look wonderful.
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!
Good work, Marty! Get well soon.
beautiful cadillac's ....love the honest comments you make . You really did your best. keep up the good work marty!
Great looking cars, Marty!
Great job Marty they both came out really nice 👍👍😊
What a wonderful casting, and fantastic transformation you have achieved. Cheers
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.
