Narration would make this 11:55 video 20 minutes plus. On auto repair videos, good narration is a must as well as any other instructional video. So few people know how to do it though... The most common mistake I see made is turning a 2 minute project into a 15 minute rambling video. So "pointless narration" is DEFINITELY a thing!
Sandblaster is actually more therapeutic than a therapist would ever be :D

I like the blasting as well. I so like watching the powder coating baking on.
Amazing workmanship. I have this Jeep in red, with white window frame, since about 1971! It's not got a scratch on it. I'm 56 now.
I do vintage R/C restorations but always looking to expand. This video caught my eye because one of these Jeeps is in my Grandmother's garage (most likely one of my Uncles) and now I totatlly want to restore it. Pretty sure it is blue, but I love the Army green powder. Great idea and the decals are a nice touch, Thanks for the uploads and you do amazing work!!! Tip: You can use a small O ring on your rivet gun to keep from scuffing the painted rivets.

Your videos are fun to watch! Thank you for not showing the end result in the preview. I too enjoy the sandblasting!
No entiendo porqué hay personas que le dan "no me gusta", que rayos les pasa?? Este es un trabajo espectacular, el resutado es simplemente increible... Y ni hablar de lo relajante que son estos videos, me encantan 🤩

Ahhh, for the first time I finally got that you had been powder coating the rivets as well, off camera. Now I understand how they matched so perfectly in other videos!
for the commentator who asked further down the page, I indeed enjoy the sandblasting sections, as I enjoy learning from most of the technical detail. These videos have helped me solve a number of metalwork problems I've been scratching my head over, indeed one of them will be going to a sandblaster later this week. John W.

I had this jeep when I was 6 years old. It was incredibly sturdy, and we used to sit on it and ride down the small slope in our yard. Lots of great memories.
I noticed the jeep might of been a blue or turquoise color at one time? I remember having one as a kid and it also came with a boat and boat trailer. Nice job of restoration!
Love how you always include the sandblasting, I find it very therapeutic to watch, don't change lol
You make contributions, not only to cultural nostalgia, but to the retention of history. This is a great service to our country and our culture. Your work must be celebrated. We owe you a debt of gratitude.
The sandblasting parts are so calming.
Thank you for including more Sand Blasting shots! They’re my favourite part of the video!
Fantastic job sir, another one saved from the grave👍
Been watching these the last two nights before bed. What a gem of a channel. You’re so loving and careful with your work, as if the person who played with this a child is personally overseeing the job.
It's really amazing to see these old toys taken apart. The quality of materials, the care in the craftsmanship, attention to detail. Just don't see that anymore. Love how this turned out.
Настоящий профессионал! Молодец! Приятно посмотреть!)
6 videos and already one of the best if not the best restoration channel. Wonderful videos! Keep 'em coming!
I had one of these jeeps as a kid.....miss those days...i watched quite a few of his videos and I love the way that he places all the parts on his bench in order instead of like some guys just leaving them all over....very methodical and this guy does unbelievable work... Museum quality restorations in my eyes....wish i had this kind of talent.
No music, calm & peace while fixing stuff, love it !!!
I'm amazed with the quality and the strong build of that tonka jeep, being that it was from the 60's and all the metal is flawless under the paint, absolutely great!
Fantastic job, love the fact you powder coat and what a smart idea to coat the rivets before you used them, well done that man!

Huh, you would enjoy my job then I spend 50% of my day standing over a blasted sandblasting cabinet.
Many decades ago, I pulled one of those Jeeps behind my bike with a string, because why not? The damage done after a few days was pretty bad. Then, I had the bright idea to build a small fire under it. It didn't stay small for long. Nice to see one brought back to life.
Any discerning boy would be proud to own and play with this beautiful piece under adult supervision. I love your work. Especially the oven unit. Saved to my playlist: Artmakers.
Wish could watch the sand blasting longer. I get mesmerized just watching that part.

I had this very same jeep growing up. I woke up one Christmas and it was on my chest, I had the light blue one. Kept it for years, loved playing with it and a G.I.joe. Absolutely the best toy I ever got @
These vids are so relaxing. The best kind of ASMR.
Man! Love watching the powder-coating process. Gives a whole new meaning to "I'd rather watch paint dry" ...literally!
6:00 YES! When he rolled it in at the beginning, I started thinking "PLEASE choose olive drab" 😊
I have several 1960s era Tonkas that belonged to my father, a dump trunk and excavator among them, seeing this makes me wish so much I could have them restored.
Being the owner of a 67' CJ 5. I got excited when I saw the title of this video. Thank you for doing it justice! It turned out great!

That sandblasting on the flat piece was so satisfying.
So satisfying to watch. How many of you would love a sandblaster? Even when speeded up it's cool. My earliest memory in early 1960 was playing with a toy jeep. It was red with a white screen.

thank you for painting it Army Green. Your gentleness and respect for these old items is evident.
Looks Great! I thought it would look good in olive drab when I started watching the video, and it does! White walls on an Army Jeep...HA!...about time the Army got some "class". A pleasure to watch. Thanks!

Hats off to the Dads who repainted this over the years keeping the metal parts smooth. Boo to the Dads for painting the plastic.
