King Kong vs. Godzilla - Japanese Version Restoration Project

I'm working on a restoration of the Japanese version of this film.

 

 

I am using a copy of the Champion Matsuri re-release and the Universal DVD of the John Beck edit for the majority of the duration and the Region 2 DVD for the 9 minutes not present in either version (here are those 9 minutes in particular: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OSl3skZdXs).

If you can help at all, please leave me a PM.

The picture portion of this restoration has been completed. All of the Matsuri footage has been color corrected to match the Universal DVD and, on the whole, everything looks very nice, sans the R2 segments. This may be the most consistently good-looking copy of the uncut film since 1962.

Now, the sound and subtitles must be synced up. Could anybody help me with the latter?

Huh, I had no idea this had been re-edited. The only version of it I've seen is a VHS I bought back in the '90's. I hope you find someone who can help you finish this, I'd love to check it out.

Any updates on this one?  I'm a monster movie fan from way back and would love to see this come to fruition.   

I hope all is going well with it.
