You should take a chrome marker and color in the wing type thing on the front to add a little detail. I don't think I've ever seen this Tonka toy. Very cool, I like that you can steer it and it dumps. Would have loved this as a kid.

I was going to ask about that and please forgive my ignorance here. He's using powder coating, which is much stronger that just painting. All the pieces are totally dry when they come out of the oven so you don't have to worry about the coated parts sticking together. If you have the parts assembled and then paint or coat them doesn't that increase the likelihood of getting cracks between the parts? And with just primer on those areas wouldn't they be more prone to rust? 🤔

You do such beautiful work. Do you keep the toys for your own collection, or do you generally sell them off? Is there value added to restoring them, or (like some other antiques or collectables) do purchasers prefer them to have "patina"?

Awesome set so far Tim. Honest question; Do you think the bare metal, by pre-assembling parts, would react together and cause some rust to start?

@TRGRESTORATIONS

2 жыл бұрын

I've always heard that, but I'm not sure. Most of these toys will never see the elements outside again, so if probably doesn't matter. But when you're powder coating, too many nooks and crannies can cause Faraday Cage issues and it will be hard to evenly coat the piece.
