  I enjoyed that - I do the same and get enjoyment out of resurrecting old Dinkys that would otherwise would be destined for junk, and giving them new lives as ‘code3’s’. 😁👍🏼.....and a thumbs up too for the string classical music

  i got a few dinky cars from growing up they was my dad's. Think i might start looking into dinky restorations. I haven't got a clue where to start. I feel intimidated going on dinky forums as some people on forums can be very rude.

• 
  @blue60585 жыл бұрын

  Hello Johnathan - apology for the late reply. I'm sorry my fellow enthusiasts have been so snooty. There are in fact quite a lot of websites that give good advice, and of course some You Tube videos. The forums can be good and you can gather tips without entering into conversation if you find people rude. The best place to start is with the older Dinky's which are usually simpler, and perhaps if you have one that is so poor you can't make it worse - start with that as you will probably make mistakes to start with. Myself - and I'd think most of the other hobbyists - have learnt a lot as we've gone along through the mistakes we've made - trial and error !

  @@blue6058, I'm not really an expert. I just know that if certain passages in certain pieces give me goose-bumps, then it must be a certain performer. Also, if a violin piece sounds extemporized, even slightly then in all probability it's Nigel Kennedy ;-)

  Hello Mike - worry not, plenty of wrecks out there. This video is a few years old now and looking back some of my restores are a little heavy handed, I must make another video some time soon with some of my later restores which I think have a lighter touch and look nicer. Thanks for viewing.

  Hey bud! You can find many of these car at flea markets, yard sales, stockyard sales in the junk bins that no one ever looks into just ask but don't be too over excited about to the seller. Usually you can get them for ¢ 25 -¢50 if you don't find any on the first outing. look again the next. When you find them they come in hordes! :-)
