As a person who grew up with Tonka trucks, and still owns two, I want to thank you for rescuing so many, and bringing them back to be played with. Bless you sir.

My five year old grandson watched this with me. He loved it and proclaimed the truck beautiful!

Your restorations are no longer just toys ...they are top quality museum pieces.... excellent job...👍👍👍👍👍

​@@MrKenstar2 I don't know, I've been to several antique shops and some old toys do look like how this did in the beginning.

You were the first restoration I watched. Over a year ago, now I am hooked! My wood shop is now a Tonka Garage. Have restored around ten now starting a new one! Watch several restorers now.

The catspector was unsure about this one. Once again you blew my socks off . Another beautiful restoration. Even Beaker was surprised. Just wow!

I love how Beaker gave it such a good inspection at the beginning and then gave it less than a cursory glance at the end as if to say, “Yeah, well, that’s more like it.” Superb restoration. I thought there would have been more holes in it, the rust was everywhere. It looked so bad.

Look at Beaker inspecting the truck. She's becoming a real expert on restoration, honestly she probably knows more than I do at this point.

I know it feels good bringing back something so rare. I feel good watching you bring it back. Thanks for sharing.

I can only imagine the immense degree of satisfaction you must feel having completed a transformation like this. Looks better than new now.

I honestly didn’t think there was enough metal under all that rust to restore. Once again you astounded me and proved me wrong. Beautiful work!

That paint was scary....I didn't think there was much left under it! Great restoration!

A very thorough inspection by the catspector before the job started. Good to see

Really, REALLY enjoy watching these restorations! Quality of work and your attention to the details.... simply top notch! Well done, young man.... well done indeed! Take care, be safe and God bless!

Agreed!

Following a very detailed inspection by "Dr. F.E.LINE", the order to proceed was issued. The Master Restorer then took over, and what a result ! My sincere compliments to you & the Dr. BRILLIANT WORK !

I love the cat insurance adjuster! Sure to his time inspecting this one. Love your videos. You do beautiful work.

Though I liked the various dolls I was given, I envied my older brother's Tonka cars, dump trucks snd crane. When I was around six, my Dad gave me a "found" blue horse trailer for my various plastic animals. I played with my long trailer more than my metal kitchen set (refrigerator, stove and sink). Once we became teens our toys were passed down to younger relatives or donated. Thank you for bringing them back to such amazing conditions. 🍄🍄

Very professional work, Thanks my friend, Big like

I was already looking forward to this Sunday's video. Thank you Chip!

Hi Beaker!! You supervise so well. I think you deserve more treats. Great job Chip!!

WOW!! GREAT JOB!!!BRAVO!!

The train engine you have in the pile, looks like its gonna be a very interesting restoration proyect :D

Amazing job as always. You are preserving these toys for the future generations, so they know, what kids in our times played with. These old toys are true treasures and a valuable heritage of a long gone era.

I really like the restoration of these classic toys, brings me back to a bunch of childhood memories of having fun all year lomg when I was child/pre-teen.

Back when I was a hippie, I discovered a 1958 GMC Pickup in a garage. I bought it for $3,000, fooled around with it for 2 years, and finally ended up selling it for $3,000 with no wiring in it. Just a short story from the good old days. You did what I wanted to do only smaller. Keep up the good work!

CHIP! Thanks for the head's up! This is terrific! I wish you know who was here to see this, he would have loved it! How wonderful!

Absolutely beautiful, you always do such a fantastic job.

Lovely restoration. A true labor of love. Sandblasting that front grill was the best ASMR. Made me happy and able to get thru the rest of my day. Thanks.

Sweet frame off restoration,,,,beautiful,,👏👏👏

Words cannot describe how before and after, thumbs up

Chrome work is fantastic!!

You are an amazing talent! An artist, doctor and healer all in one! Love it! A Tonkaologist if you will.

Well done! Thank you for posting this.

Chip: Here's the former rust bucket, all fixed up. Beaker: I'll eat a treat to that.

Love the quality control cat.

Beautiful Restoration index👏👏👏

that cat just smelled the trucks history ... it knows more about where it has been than we ever would ... just from sniffs

Congratulation chip Channel the Fábio and Rafael from Brazil. Excelent restauration. Long life the Channel.

Another Fan!tastic! resto Chip It looks better than new, Bravo!

Outstanding job Chip...👍

Another great result. It was in a terrible state!!! The sand blasting is a real blessing for a job like that and it is as strangely therapeutic as ever. They really came up with a host of different trucks off the basic layout. Look forward to the next one!!!

The kids and I were getting worried about the one-eyed sheep, but after rewinding a few times we spotted it. My little ones were relieved that it's okay. Fantastic work on the restore and thank you for the content

Absolutely Beautiful

Nice. I was born in 1962. Can not remember what year I got my Tonka fire engine, I believe 1966. It pumped water. I still have the engine. I pull it out for the Christmas Tree every year. I did not find a Tonka. When replacing the sewer line in my 1951 house, I found a rubber truck. I did clean it up.

I like how correct there put back together,, even better than they originally came

We love your restaurations...Respect !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Once again, it’s Beaker tested and Beaker approved. Fantastic work as usual!

Another amazing restoration! Thank you for sharing! I agree that the pattern and texture of the paint flaking and corrosion was interesting. I see that others have commented that the original paint appeared more turquoise, which I like very much; but I am also a fan of the green that you chose. Both colors are appropriate to the era. Hello to Beaker and the sheep. 😊

The checkering was a bit like something that had been in a fire, but the truck overall didn't look like it had been. Could the choice of color have to do with what the powder manufacturer makes available as standard colors? I'm sure a turquoise could be mixed, but there would need to be enough of it to coat everything, and some kept for any future repairs to that particular toy. (Or perhaps an exact formula by weight of standard color powders arrived at, and that formula then kept with the toy.)

I know you're looking at that tank for a next project. You gotta give the people what they want!

Love the cat and the sheep. Also your videos!

I'm always astounded at how good the metal is under all that rust. They really built toys to last back when I was a kid!

​@@MrKenstar2I understand what your saying. It's easy to break, add grease and other stuff to make things appear older than they are. The problem here is oxidation. You van make something look as if it was oxidized, but for something to actually oxidize takes time and have bugs in them, takes time in harsh conditions. Oxidation is a chemical reaction, in this case ions are exchanged with oxygen. Metal (ferrous 2+ extra electron or Ferric 3+ extra electrons) oxygen has 8 electrons to share. When H2O come in contact with Fe you end up with a passionate match of 4Fe+3O2 - 2Fe2O3. Depending how much of this reaction has taken place, you may or may not have enough Fe left to work with. This is a simplified version of oxidation. You can't sand blast something that is grime to make it look oxidized. It must be clean of residue or grime. It's kind of hard to achieve such natural form of decay unless the where bought and thrown away allowing it to rust and be decayed by nature over a long period of time. If that's the case, he's still doing a darn good job at restoring it back to mint condition.

Very well done! I remember those trucks from back then🤗🙃😊

WOW! What a great job on restoring this truck. It was a mess. Just love your videos. Thank you for doing an excellent job. Carol from California

Looking great!!!

As usual class a restoration

You master number 1!!!!Its beautiful 🤩!!!!!Super job and beauty car!!!!!!

Awesome as usual 🙋‍♀️😉🇱🇷

Best toy box I have ever seen!

Beautiful Truck and wonderful collection.

Very nice. It amazed me that there was very little rust under the peeling paint! When I first saw it I figured you would be JB Weld/ bondo-ing the entire truck.

Beautiful. 🙂✌️❤

awesome restoration! You sir are a artisan and a mechanic. The Tonka Man.

Very nice work my friend it’s amazing the craftsmanship back then compared to todays garbage.

One of the things that surprised me the most is that replacement parts for the tires etc are still available! Talk about a NICHE market!

Fantastic job love the color green the white really makes the truck look good.

That’s now a work of art,I’d gladly put that on my bookshelf as a book end,please please do the tank next I like the look of that one,thanks for sharing Love and peace from Ireland

This channel is amazing. My 3 yr old begs for yucky truck. He loves seeing them transform. His cute “wow!!!” Is soooooo good.

What a transformation!!!

Thank you 🐺

I see Beaker did a initial safety check before you began...and she found it safe. And it met her finished quality control inspection...of course it's always good to treat the inspector. Another fine job at restoration, Chip. Thanks again for sharing!

Beautiful restoration and an awesome collection!

Another great job, Chip!.

wow, that sandblasting was extra satisfying!

Once again, a beautiful restoration! You do the best work! I agree I prefer the original blue with the white. It seems more early 60’s! Ether way top notch!!

You have, by far, some of the most satisfying sandblasting clips on the internet. 👌

Excellent as always!

If only we could recapture our youth as elegantly as you restore these toys ......

Wow I love it.

Amazing work!!!!!
