I remember being in the hospital after a minor operation and my dad bringing me a Tonka Wrecker. I think mine was all white, but who knows after 62 years! Thanks for the memories!

Amazing. I just discovered your videos and I am blown away.

A truly "Amazing Restoration". A lot of work by you, but it was a job well done 👍 The tow truck was in very sad shape at the start, but Wow! it looked better than new when you were finished. I enjoyed the ending when the restored tow truck was put to use 😊 Awesome video! Lots of fun! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

You know that because using powder coating instead of spray paint I wasn’t sure to repair the cab, if I used spray paint that would be easy to fill pits.
