Chip, boy have I missed you! Hope you are doing well! Charlie the tuna was one of my favorite characters growing up! There was so much paint on this. I could not tell what was the orginal colors. You really made those hubcaps and screws shine. The wood floor looks great. Of course your body work is top notch! This came out so great, I expected Charlie himself to come for a drive. Beaker would not eat him!

This is a first for me to actually comment on one of your restorations. As far as restoring these metal trucks your work is the most complete and finely detailed. The restorations cost some real time and money and we're so glad to see your video's again. Your tolling must cost a fortune to recreate these forgotten trucks. Thanks again for doing what you do!

Sorry I forgot how many subscribers you are at. Love your videos

You know Chip, I think I have seen everyone of your videos. (I'll have to check and see if I missed any) You sure have come a long way from when you first started. You have all these fancy gee gaws and doo dads to create a lot of your own parts and I'm happy for you to have acquired all of them. I see you have a new nozzle for my favorite machine, the sand blaster. I hope you keep finding those little jewels that can be brought back to life. Thanks for all the cool videos.

Simply fantastic, everyone loves seeing something being returned to its former glory, but you take it to a different level. The panorama at the end of all your finished projects to date is stunning, not least. your format (i.e.: no mindless commentary explaining the obvious) is brilliant and another of the many reasons you're close on 400,000 subscribers - well done!

Welcome back! Another remarkable restoration which leaves me amazed!

You did a great job restoring the tuna truck.

Glad to see a new post. I was worried you had succumbed to a rust infection. I never saw one of these Star Kist trucks even though I have a few Tonka trucks from my 50's and 60's childhood. The "chunky style" reference on the box describes the condition of the toy in general!

That is just what I love about your channel - no drama. You may have gone for a long time but returned with a bang. Passion mixed with craftsmanship and a dose of tech forge a masterpiece.

Yay, I'm so glad youre back! My tool-and-truck obsessed 5yo absolutely loves watching your restorations (and he's started trying to take his own trucks apart "like Chip does," so thanks 😂) Looking forward to more! Have a great rest of the year!

Love the long relaxing sand blasting and the choice of colors primer came out excellent
