1960s Rusty Structo Emergency Rescue Van Restoration
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ธ.ค. 2020
- I purchased this very rusty 1960s Structo Emergency Rescue Van July of 2020 with a box of about 15 other toy trucks. This one needed help badly. Definitely had its issues and did not turn out to be my best restoration, however for the condition that it started in, I'm overall very happy with how it turned out. I found out that my microphone is having issues so please excuse the audio cutting in and out. I now have it fixed for the next video.

Another Reason Why I Love coming back here is that I get to see you Restore Toy trucks and cars and bring them back to its original glory.
Each part of the process is quite unique but for me, the stripping / blasting is the best. Watching the rust, paint and decals disappear and seeing all the details come to life in the metal form is amazing.
It's great to see what new tools and techniques you are using now vs. 3 years ago. Like the CNC laser for metal parts.
Yeah, he's certainly come a long way. From simpler tools to metal lathe, CDC cutter, nice powder paint and a press. But with 3 million + viewers, 👌 👏
You’re incredibly patient and talented! I love your work, your sheep and your kitten. ❤️❤️
No annoying music, no talking, plenty of info,
beautiful shots, masterful work
yes that's good but where's this van supposed to be from ?ive never seen a white and green rescue van before
their always Red and part of the Fire brigade (uk) we don't Combine our Emergency Services the way America dose
No mansplaining thanks God! 🙌🏼
I love that you use as many original used parts as possible and create your own when needed.
You have great skills, talent & patience to restore such a rotten looking toy to the beauty it became! I admire you. Thank you for let us see it!
Amazing how tabs were used for so much of the construction of this type of toy...even more amazing is that they don't break off in the vids I've watched. Pretty great stuff
I love the fact that you leave most of the sandblasting in instead of cutting away!
From rust bucket to a first class restoration. The skill and hard work that goes into these restorations is outstanding in order to save these unwanted toys. Well done Chip
I just love how the siren sound was made. Such a simple and clever design.
Watching your restorations is INCREDIBLY soothing and peaceful.
Thank you for sharing.
It was nice to see the kitten doing its job and giving it the final inspection - it definitely passed as it was given the tail flick of approval.
Great video, very proffesionaly edited, with a lovely, sympathetic restoration job.
I give you loads of credit for all the time and effort you put in to restoring these forgotten gems. You're a master at restoration. I'm sure if these toys could talk they would thank you for giving them new life. Thank you for sharing your craft! You're the best!
Thanks again DrTeddyMMM!
@@ChipChannelRestorations you're best work master!!
Миллион лайков за ваш комментарий. Шедевр!!!!!
Vvpp, p
The CAT appreciated the novelty!)))
I audibly gasped when you vacuumed the sheep out, haha. Glad you let us know that the sheep was unharmed.
So nice of you to do such awesome restorations for your cat's car collection.
Thank you for showing a lot of the sandblasting and making longer videos, myself and a lot of others really like it😁☺️
Love your show! This was such a fun restoration...right down to the ladder, the bell and putting together the white wall tires!
I have this truck, from my childhood. Still complete and rust free. It came with 2 ladders. One would hook onto the other. Thank you for posting your videos. You truly do amazing work!
That sand blasting is the most satisfying thing.
May I suggest a stronger drug?
Rust removal with Laser

(Laser cleaning restoration)
The final result is amazing! At first I had lowered my expectations, thinking that the rust and damage were just too much; but the entire process was fascinating.
Why is watching videos of things being sandblasted so satisfying?
sandblasting the rust off is my favorite part to watch in every video (:
Oh man mine too lol so satisfying
Remarkable transformation from what was a real wreck this one is a real credit to you and show your skills in restoration work. Kind regards John Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺
This was one extremely labor intensive restoration! It was so far gone, and you still brought it back!

Прекрасная работа. Мастер золотые руки. Браво.
I have no idea why.... but I find something very soothing about watching paint and rust fly off in the sandblaster! I have got to get me one of these!

Same here buddy.

@@zdnchennal7921 what does that mean
I did notice the headlight flip. Great job restoring this. So many channels popping up where they destroy a new toy to make it look old
Absolutely Amazing, your attention to detail is exceptional, wet sanding makes the paint look incredible. I like how you speed up the hammering and filing, Awesome. Another fantastic video. Thank you for sharing.
Wow, wow, wow, wooooooow, now you have an entire Fire House. The best restoration that you made.
Yes
When the rust/old paint is being removed, is so satisfying to watch.
Welcome to the club, sandbox fans

Awesome transformation! Love the junkyard sheep...keep up the great work. 👍 love from AZ ❤
I'm in awe of your skills. Great restores on all your models
Real awesome piece of work! Love all the tools you have to help get the job done. That was quite a wreck to start with but the results, and I'll say it again, awesome!👍👍
Great transformation! Watching this reminded me of an old VW Bug I bought about fifteen years ago, more rust than metal. I spent weeks cutting, shaping, welding and grinding to prep it for paint. Lots of work but I was determined to bring it back!
This is without a doubt one of the most satisfying channels on you tube! Another beautiful toy resurrected. God Bless you man.
i was told to find relaxing videos to look at to treat my anger these videos seem to work greatly thank you and keep up the great work
The before and after is astonishing! One of the best transformations I've seen so far. I've read somewhere that you can use heat resistant tape for multicolor powder coating, that would make your life easier
Came here to say this, beautiful restoration but I can’t get past the line. Could’ve been so much sharper.
IIRC, it's called Kapton tape, and seems to be used in powder coating quite frequently.
@@secretgacha9914 I think everyone cringes at that part in the video.. I certainly did.
Needless to say, his restorations are absolutely remarkable..
Was I the only one who flinched when the sparks flew toward the camera?
Great restore, as usual!
I never knew how wonderful those cars were until you restore d them and I could see what fun they were.
Волшебство !!!👍👍👍🤩🤩🤩🤩Смотрела на одном дыхании 👍👍👍👍
The before / after is amazing, I love the two-tone paint and you do things well since you replace the broken parts with a majority of second-hand parts and when you can't find them you rebuild them altogether
That classic Winnebago shape from the 70's just gives me the fizz!!
I love this type of restoration. Simply delightful
Your little sheep and junkyard had me subscribed in the first 30 seconds. So cute and such a good restore
Let’s face it, we watch it for the sheep. 🤷♀️
Finally, where are the sheeps?
Find them! Rescue the sheeps!
The sheep are incredibly cute and goofy

Wonderful job, Chip. Master Toy restorer, indeed. Perfect restoration every time.
The Inspector General at the end approves!
Wow; that was an incredible transformation. I'm amazed at all the different measures you go through to bring the original piece back to being brand new. Great job and great video.
Amazing... shows what can be done. I would have just busted that up with a hammer and put the debris in the scrap steel bin.
Una pregunta...los carritos que reparas los vendes.? y si, cuánto cuestan? saludos desde México
The sheep is adorable, and pfft, Aphex Twin symbol for the bell.
Edit: I love your supervisor!
Hey Chippy, well done! As always a real joy watching you work! 🐘
I love the sheep at the beginning. The eyes 👀 are exactly how everyone looks at you when your car stops on the roadside and has to be towed.

Literally except it more for the fact I was in a mid 90s minivan with wood paneling on the side but still it broke down
Amazing transformation. It's so satisfying to watch. 100% great job and also historical accuracy. It looks like a new one from the 60s. I love to watch this channel
Oh my god! Using a little tow truck to tow the van is so cute!
A couple of tips for you. If you weld to the body like you did this one, if you lay a piece of copper or aluminum under that area, the copper or aluminum will draw the heat away, and also won't let the weld burn through. A piece of flattened copper pipe could do that, and could be bent to the curvature of the part you are welding and give you a nicer finish.
The other thing is, if you need to make window "glass", this could be done with 1/16th" polycarbonate. It can be cut with a saw, bent with some heat, and won't shatter like acrylic Plexiglas.
Приятно смотреть как работает мастер. Все просто на высшем пилотаже.
Только,жаль, звука нет!
Oh kitty kitty. Such wonderful work...... and equipment. So nice.
WOW ABSOLUTELY WOW....... another masterpiece from you 👍👍👍👍
Didn’t know h2o2 and Uv worked so well on plastic. Just learned something. 👍

It's known as retrobrighting. Very popular with people who restore old game consoles and computers with yellowed plastics.

A boom ladder!!!
Dang, I kept wondering what in the hell was the device on top!!!!😂😂
You know a restoration channel is good when there's a cat checking their work!
Wonderful restoration, was accepted for the inspector. 😻😻😻😻😻
The sand blasting is so satisfying to watch!
Great restoration! To avoid burning holes into the thin metal, I think autogenous welding instead of inert gas welding would be advisable.
Señor Chip... déjeme Felicitarlo. Y decirle Que Usted Es Un Exxxcelente Restauradorrrrrr muyyyy Profecional... Lo Felicito. From Venezuela. Luis.Morales. El El.Condor...!!!
NOTHING SHORT OF AMAZING!!!!!
i genuinly love watching this stuff
Como eu queria ter uma coleção de sucatas dessas para restaurar, os carrinhos antigos são os melhores.
I really love it to watch this, so satisfying.
Aresome, you give this truck a second life, beautiful job. Ha-Te-Hao
Your cat is the Emperor of restoration!
Chip, That turned out beautifully. Excellent job!
On a Sunday, sippin' a cup of Joe, and watching Chip work his magic.
I'm right there with ya. fridays is dinner with engel's coach shop, sundays is refilling my coffee stream with Chip
I know you think this wasn't your best work, but be proud that a forgotten toy has a new life thanks to your hands. Trying to two-tone power coating must be a bear. Great job on the resto.
I love this stuff, better than anything on network television.
Always fun to watch and a great restoration!! Just a minor suggestion for the side windows, Marty from Marty's Matchbox Makeovers uses a floor sealer/protector (like mop & glo) for the clear windows. It fills in the scratches and makes them nice and shiny again. BTW, you should have 10x the subscribers, keep up the great content.
That Sand blasting really does one hell of a job .
No se entiende nada
That's what I call Rustyrations. Beautiful toys.
Beautiful God given gift you have, unbelievable you make old things look new just like my life
2 thumbs up awesome!!
Золотые руки, удачи вам и крепкого здоровья🌞
Love your videos. So relaxing to watch your meticulous restorations. Hope you stock your own toy museum exhibit some day!
I watch your videos when I feel sad, when I am done
I'm inspired
Смотрю как завороженная, а мне 59 лет. 😄 На деменцию вроде не похоже, наверное в детстве в машинки не наигралась. 😀👍👍👍👏обожаю смотреть как Вы реанимируете машинки! Только руки берегите пожалуйста, они у Вас золотые! ☝🙏
You have had two difficult restorations in a row. I hope your next one goes easier for you and it will look fantastic!
Great Job Sir! I especially enjoyed the sand blasting and the making of the ladder. I subscribed! Thanks for sharing :)
22:10 this requires a steady hand, precision, accuracy, neatness, technique, YEARS OF EXPERIENCE & most of all PATIENCE!! In the end the results are amazing!
😳➡️🫣➡️😬➡️😲⏸👍🏽😎
i really said to myself tha he bit off more than he can chew on this one..theres noooo way........i was wrong. you did an amazing job!
Love watching sandblasting. So satisfying.
You know, that would've made a great Mystery Machine! "Sheepy-Doo Where Are you?" lol
I kept thinking this toy could be customized as an ice-cream or a food truck.
Ah well, at least the steering wheel was not corroded! Lovely restoration.
Any future E.M.T. Would be proud to have it, too!
Very good days!

Happy Saturday
A big greeting from Panama 🇵🇦
Trabalho incrível, muito bom! Bela coleção, você tem...! Parabéns...!
For some strange reason, every time I come here I start humming the `Shaun the Sheep` theme tune.
Yeah, these sheep are definitely the "sincerest form of flattery".
YES, UNIRONICALLY YES!
It’s cuz you know that song and sometimes you want to song it. So you hum it
I love beautiful well constructed toys, and wish to be a child, again! And from time to time play with them without a care in the world.
I think u need a city model where the cars can live their own life.
And the sheep, too.
It’d take over his whole house, like those model train enthusiasts!
Thats a great idea! Tonkatropolis.
That sheep is gay
Ñ
I don’t know why but these videos keep popping up on my recommended, I usually don’t watch them but this got my eye and it was definitely worth watching, keep the work up! :)
I love shiny things. Just beautiful! CNC machines are so helpful. Chip you area true craftsman!
The sheep made me smile.
Amazing job and amazing tools/equipment ;) keep up with the great work!
