To celebrate my 100th casting video (be it a true to form restoration or a custom) I have chosen to restore something a bit more grandiose. This is the 24C Rolls Royce Silver Shadow, that had it's own polished metal grille don't you know! This one did at least, until someone had painted over it in this ugly blue/grey... The repaint had fingerprints left imbedded on the bodywork, while the base lacked much paint at all. The window had been cracked on the driver's side, while the artist had stuck the boot/trunk shut. Of all my restorations to date, I think this one came out closest of any to the original model. Let me know what you think in the comments! Thank you for sticking around, and thanks especially if you have watched all of the 100 castings being fixed up!
