Вот это настоящая реставрация! Супер! А то некоторые сказочники возьмут замажут грязью новую машинку, слегка поцарапают - и "усиленно" восстанавливают. Респект мастеру! 🎉

wow what an artist!! I sat here and remembered my sweet nephews playing with their tonka trucks, those things were expensive even in the 70's but like my brother said, they hold up, they did..now I believe the toys are plastic, not wanting to hurt the kids, the boys never hurt themselves playing with their toys....they grew up "playing" with their big tonka toys today. the truck turned out beautiful. truly beautiful.

Other people watch Netflix, I watch you. The Green Giant motif is wonderful. Love your kitty and the display at the end showed so many little vehicles I watched you restore. Comforting and relaxing!

If you are the lucky one who gets pulled away by the towtruck, you are going to the other side where your second life begins.. 😄 Great channel! 👍🏻👍🏻

I would like to suggest that when you are applying the decals, use soapy water. That way you can move the stickers to where you want them. Then use a squeegee to remove the air bubbles and set the decals. Also you should soak your wet/dry sandpaper in water for about 15-20 minutes before sanding. you did a tremendous job on this restoration. Keep up the great work.

Absolutely beautiful, what a lovely restoration brings me back to my childhood when toys lasted but were fun and functional and encouraged free play and imagination, such a wonderful toy full of character. Well done

My parents had a nice garden and before planting and after harvest i would take my Tonkas and make a town with roads and buildings made of mud and twigs. When Dad tilled it all down it was time to plan the next metropolitan city. Your vids bring those memories back. Thank you

An amazing amount of LCT has gone into restoring these. I admire your level of concentration.

Beautifully manufactured toys in their time. Brilliant restoration!

It was worth every minute of the last hour to enjoy the excellence of your fine craftsmanship in restoring this handsome old Tonka truck!!!!

I would have re-used the wood floor by way of epoxy. A minor clean-up and then hard epoxy to stop any further decay. "That's the original 1950s wood floor in the trailer." I restore motorcycles and never replace an original part. Some people are 'concourse' restorers for that type of buyer, and some people are 'original restoration' for that type of buyer. The 1950s wood was originally to the item and is irreplaceable. Even if you could find a NOS piece of plywood from the 1950s at the right thickness I still would not use it. It was not original to the item. Developing further techniques to salvage what 99% of restorers would not salvage has given me a bit of distinction.

As a retired trucker and model enthusiast you did a great job. However, that trailer has a heater unit not a refrigerator unit. If it was carrying produce you’d have to only transport it in the extreme cold…😂 I love the wood floors on the trailer. That is exactly what we used back in the day.
