Nice restoration. I had many Tonkas growing up. You've shown some that I never knew they made and I appreciate that. Ever get the urge to go a little overboard with a project and add a lot of details, (pin striping, engine details and such)? Just something nice to contrast with the one color paint scheme.

Have you thought about contacting Tonka to create an online museum of some of their beautiful old toys, along with restoration videos? They could get some of the best restorers to provide the videos. Who knows, maybe Tonka could provide any old toys they have stored to be done as well. Could be a good draw for them as there is obviously interest. 🤔

Part 1 was so good Tim I can't wait for Part 2. Question: I'm sure there's a reason you return most of these vintage toys usually to their original colors. If selling the toys is it more desirable for collectors to have them in their original colors? Just wondering.💖👍🍻✌

@TRGRESTORATIONS

for the most part collectors are going to want to see the original color

My dads got two of these sets but they are both missing the front grill thing and the seat as well as the steering wheel. Where do you get replacement parts

This was tbe color of ground equipment for North Central Airlines, the local airline for Tonka's hometown and most of the upper Midwest. Wonder if they made it as a promotional set?

WD-40 will temporarily soften and slightly expand rubber for those times when a heat gun may damage. It dissipates and is easy to clean with the cleaners you use.

I am new to blasting. I am using an Aluminum Oxide and I generate SO MUCH dust it blinds me. I have a vacuum system taking out much of it. What is your recommendation for blasting materials for thin metals and the best way to keep the dust down? Thanks in advance

@TRGRESTORATIONS

2 жыл бұрын

If it's a new batch of blast media it's going to be really dusty right out of the box, whenever I change out my blast media I'll run my gun full blast for about a half hour to let all of the media cycle through and give my dust collection system a change to clean out all of the dust.

Tim, another great job, thanks for share. Can I ask you something? Trought the time I've been seeying you using diferent types of powder coating gun. Could you recomend a good one? Or all of them are the same thing? In other words, wich one could be more durable in your opinion? Thanks and cheers, Igor

I tried to buy one from Eastwood and another from Harbor Freight but unfortunetely they don't dispatch worldwide. Yesterday I bough one from China (against my will). I will try to buy one like yours to prove it when they are available on amazon (at this moment they are out of stock). One more time, thanks for your atention.

I've watched quite a few of your videos and I only recently thought. What do you do with the finished project? Do you keep them as part of a collection? Do you sell them on to keep the channel going? Do you donate them to charity? I'm just curious as you have done quite a lot of these videos.

Might I recommend trying to restore some tools instead of Tonka toys all of the time? The toys always turn out great, but it'd be cool to see other stuff from you than just Tonka toys 24/7.

Was there ever a plane that went along with the set i know it would have to be pretty big for scale
