      Well, some people like to challenge themselves with projects that would look impossible. I think that it's the ultimate challenge to restore something that was destroyed in a fire. This was impressively done.

    A total BAD ASS restoration. The only way you would ever tell it was burned is if you watch this video.
    Who would have thought when we were wrecking our Tonka toys way back when, that a good craftsman would buy them and make them like new again.
    Thoroughly enjoy watching these pieces come back to life.
    Thanks for sharing.

    This is a great example of a real restoration being done. It never ceases to amaze me how many people ruin things and claim they are abandoned just to "restore" them. Mean while we have channels like this that do actual work and take great pride in what they do without a gimmick.

    Super cool resto!!! I still have a truck similar to this one, although mine is just an ordinary truck. It was red at one time, but I taped off the decal and painted it black. I also have a van that I taped off and painted black. That was originally a sandy brown color. One of these days, I want to return them to their original color.
