They should make these little trucks again. I’d love to get a couple for my little nieces. 😊
3 minutes in I thought “hell yea, he’s going to show how to sand blast this paint away”. I knew this paint AND the rust was going to give you a challenge. I know that was hard labor but it turned out great in the end. Windshield and wheels cleaned up real nice! Excellent work 👌🏼
Hehe. No sand blaster here! Hope you are well Rivera!
Hey, I was the guy who sent you those decals back when you did the Blasphemi car. Glad to see you use them on a build. The truck looks great.
You are the best! So glad you're still watching and I had a chance to use them again in the video.
Excellent restoration, it certainly was rusty, between the joints ,great work
Many thanks!
A good one which I have done something similar, try evaporust in the ultrasonic cleaner. It does help out a lot, and it is safe, and drain dump able. It can also loosen the paint sometimes, as i saw you had problems with that paint which was weird.
Yeah, this paint was baked in!
Great job and I have the BUDDY L dump truck that I found at an antique store
Thank you, I love going to the antique stores when I get chance.
@@WheelsNThangs you're welcome 😊
Nice little Tonka.
Thank you 😁
I've done a few of these, electrolysis works really well for shifting the paint as well as the rust - I use some laundry powder instead of salt in the water, it makes for a better class of mess👍😀
Great tip! "Better class of mess". I love it!
Caustic soda works great on the paint and rust, its also called Lye and can be found in the plumbing section for cleaning pipes. Just remember, you do not want to breath in the fumes.
Great tip!
Nice restoration.
Thanks!
As a kid I always loved these things. They would survive buried all winter under the Michigan snow, unless they got chopped up by the tractor mower in the spring by my Dad. Ohhh that used to really get him,,, upset 😬😁.
LOL. I can't imagine the sounds coming out of that mower!
Algun dia restaurare el mio que aun tengo desde niño 😎👌
Hey MrThangs
Happy Friday🙂
Had not seen any other utuber separate the Tonkas like this to get rid of rust etc.
Great outcome, I am sure your Granddaughter will love it.
Merry Christmas to you and yours 🎄
Merry Christmas Mr. Tim, hope you are doing well! Have a most excellent Friday my friend. I know I will :)

Thank you very much John.
I am well and glad to know you are as well.🙂
F-ck yeah!
I had these a kid
Even the McDonald's ones were just as resilient as their original counterparts
Tonka wasn't playing around with making durable toys
These things can take a nuclear blast to the face and only the paint would be mildly scuffed
Ha! Yes, they were tanks!
I've been watching your videos for at least a few years and a few videos back with all of the mud on the car was the only thing that ever looked odd or skeptical. I would have let the stripper do more of the work longer before brushing off the paint but that's just my suggestion let the stuff do some of the work first but what do I know I'm just a regular viewer. Though Tonka metal toys were painted with paint that practically bonded to the metal I believe. Wait you only put primer on the parts before putting them back together not paint the individual parts first 🤔. Using your logo as a decal nice and great result 👍 👏 👌 oh and Merry Christmas to everyone
Thanks Tom, I know the mud looked off but there was nothing to it. I should have just taken all of the mud off to begin with to avoid the situation :) Thanks for the tips and Merry Christmas!
Amazing what could be done with pressed sheet metal...
Indeed!
I was fascinated by the UV light. Do you have a link to that?
Unfortunately for that one I don't since it's exclusive for dental and very $$. Here is one that should do the same thing. amzn.to/3YtUXu5
Howdy and happy day!! What an end of 22 treat!!! I have catching up to do! This was a labor of love for sure. Wow!!! How long did you have it vibro cleaning on that last run?
And what was that space age technology box thing you put the plastics into for cleanup?
Thanks!!! This was fun! Happy day and merry Christmas to you and yours!! 🤩
Should have finished the video before asking. I was figuring you procured that curer from work. Nice out of the box thinkin!
I think I left it in there for like 4 hours. Hehe. Merry Christmas, I always love hearing for you!
Hehe. Here is one that should work similar for about 5% of the cost of the dental one amzn.to/3YtUXu5
Is this a good time to invest in a sand blaster?
Nah, I've had one before. They are handy though!
@@WheelsNThangs Just a thought....Have a fine Holiday!
What is the device you put your interior and wheels in and set the timer?
It's an oven used for curing dental crowns.
@@WheelsNThangs Thanks. Could you share the brand and make?
@@billbabicz6687 Here is something that will work the same amzn.to/3YtUXu5
I was just wondering where i can get the Falken Watanabes from this video th-cam.com/video/Tk0a29JXBbg/w-d-xo.html

how do you dispose of all of those chemicals? love the channel!
Thank you! The Vinegar can just go down the drain. The stripped goes in an old paint bucket.
