You have taken a derelict metal carcass and turned it into a sparkling ruby gem! Now I wish that Tonka had been more imaginative with their color palate of the past. You have improved on a classic and made it even better and more desirable! Well done!!

This was my dads only Christmas gift as a kid in 1957. His younger brother got the blue farm truck. Seems to be awfully rare, I've been trying to find him another for quite a while. Fantastic restoration!

Beautiful restoration...... As always! I was surprised when you put on a clear coat (I've never seen anybody do that with a toy restoration before), but I have to admit the results are fantastic. When you're restoring these toys, and you see how scuffed-up and dented they are, do you sometimes wonder about the magical adventures that the kids had playing with them? Does it maybe bring back some memories from your own childhood? (It does to me!)
