  • In this toy restoration video I take a few tips from the old show and apply it to a Tonka! I start with a completely rusted out Tonka Pick-up that was bound for the trash, and restore it to a showcase ready display piece!

    Loved the sound effects, especially the bird 🤣. Beautiful work once again. How many of us out there are salivating at the opportunity to have the fabrication skills you possess? I’m a former aircraft mechanic, so I can especially appreciate the sheet metal work, the sandblasting skills, the rivet process, the ability to compensate, and so on. The only process in need of refinement is the anti-corrosion implementation process. With a little ingenuity, determination and skill, there isn’t much one can’t do. You’re site is a nice place to visit for a splendid opportunity to escape from the hardships in life. Congratulations and keep them coming. I’m always looking for an opportunity to escape reality for a few minutes in this crazy world of ours. To me this is raw entertainment at its best.

    I understand it’s easy to armchair pint out mistakes, but with all the work your doin, I was wondering why you didn’t paint the bed liner parts separately before screwing them together? I figure you know it’s going to rust but if you even apply just a coat of promise between those parts it’ll last longer.
    Good job sir.

    A truck worthy of having your logo on the dash Tim. Great restore, I love the color scheme, dual stacks and chrome wheels. And lights!! I'm guessing with your obvious craftsmanship and specialized tools this is much more than a hobby. I wish I could discover a rare "barn" find to have you restore it. You and yours stay safe, I look forward to your next restore and cheers from Tennessee.👍❤️😷🍻👍

    Painting the tonka on the tires white would look good. White also makes a great accent color (for stripes) for this type of green.
