#restoration #hydrodipping #sandblasting how to sanding rust asmr hydrodipping hydrodip
Fantastic... love the results from Hydro dipping! One tip: use the matching rims on each side of the car... both VW rims on one side... that way, you don't really notice that they don't match!
You are a person of rare perception!
I would have just made new rims on the printer, but not everyone has a 3D printer.
i thought the exact same thing
I use to do that with hubcaps on the junk I used to drive.
As a model builder, I caught that too! Also the missing front and rear bumpers. Easily could add something simple, or gone "custom!" Very cool stuff though.
Registers car at DMV.
"What color is your vehicle?"
"Yes."
lol all the above
All my cars are silver in color.
Ah if you got four pages i can wright them down for you lolrof.
@@rlsrls6074 I'm an American, and I've never been asked by the DMV for the color of my vehicles, nor is it listed on the registration card. Should it ever happen, my old pickup truck would be listed as "rust."
I love the way he makes videos. Great recovery
An interesting option with hydrographics. You can choose any pattern. Tanker vessels are painted approximately like this. Water is pumped into the tank and paint is sprayed from above. The water is then drained and paint, which deposits on the surface of the water on the hull structures of the vessel.
I would have put the matching wheels on the same side.
I would have at least put the mag style on the back and VW hubs on front. There is a mag on the front on one side and the back on the other. Details, details, details!
OMG... I did NOT know Tonka made a VW Beetle. I love it! Normally, I’m not a huge fan of hydrodipping. But, in this case... totally appropriate!
love your choice of patterns and colors for the hydrographic
That is so cool. Makes one want to say, "Far out man" . love it. Definitely not another like it. Great job. 😺♥ Take care, stay safe and well..
I grew up in the 90's, but i had a toy car exactly like that one that i played with as a kid. This video really made my day! Keep up the awesome work.
Great restoration.
Really liked the end result!
That Hydro Dipping was so cool. I'll have to check into that.
Nicely done, and i also like the newlook of the wheels 👍
This is so cute! You do beautiful work. I can't wait to see what is next.
Thank you so much!
I have to admit that going in I had my doubts about that transfer process, but it turned out very well. Thank you for posting.
Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
@@TRGRESTORATIONS . Your Welcome.
Great idea with the dip. If you turn one of the wheels around you would have matching wheels on each side.
Yeah that's bugging me too. Either have both spoked wheels on the same side, or have them both in the back. :-P
Some days the reason you get out of bed in the morning is to watch someone restore a toy version of your favorite car
FINALLY!!! Someone restored a bug!!!❤️
There should have been a little rust hole in the floorboard just like a full sized Bug has.
Right under the back seat where the battery sits.
It's so satisfying to see you blast the body clean and watch all of that rust come off to reveal the perfect metal underneath. I have to admit I was skeptical about how the hydro dip would turn out but I have to say that you and Kansas Hydro should be proud of the result. Great work.
That is amazing! I would have been happy with a single overall color, I hadn't expected this!
Straight away, before I even watch the rest of the video. I can guarantee the hydrodipping will look fantastic. But... Ahhh but but but. Mate that patina on the car body is awesome. Rat Rod look 😎. Treat the rust so it goes no further, smooth out the edges and then just clear coat it. Then restore the rest of the toy. Love your work brother. Thanks for sharing 🙂
This is going to sound odd...but I have one of these from my childhood in very good condition. What I love about it is that is has a smell...and the odor has not changed in more than 40 years. It takes me right back to being 8 years old.
Well quit farting in the back seat!
Hey Tim, you always surprising everyone... One more time, thanks for your job!
Glad you like them!
this is my first time to see this kind of hydro dipping! Very Nice!
Ooooo look at all that RUST!!!!😃
My OCD just won't let that non-symmetric hubcap arrangement go. Fortunately the rainbow colors overrides everything.
Mine was not accepting imperfections such as white dots....
I enjoy watching your videos, during this time of stay at home. Great job on all your restorations. Almost refreshing not hearing you talk about what you are doing, but just doing it...we get it.
Keep it up!
Thanks 👍
@@TRGRESTORATIONS these restorations you do, are they for customers or do you go out looking for these old toys to restore?
3:15 and when is that? They still don't match in the end of the video...
Awesome!!
I love watching your videos because you're a southpaw😁
Yes I am!
Tonka is factory of miniatures ? In Brazil don't knows!! Wouhhh!!! Amazing! inacredit! Wonderfull this miniature congratulacions!!! Gracious!!!!
13:43 How long till you figured out you had the window backwards?lol
I’m so impressed how this little beetle came out !!
I love when you go to the sand blast with the happy kids! Hahaha great!
WOW! Outstanding restoration and custom work, eye popping.
Very Cool Hydro Dipping process. That Tonka VW Beetle restoration is fantastic looking !!!!!!!!!!!!! 5 Stars !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks 👍
Love this almost as much as the pink Jeep. 👍
The before, looked like a mini version of my brother's car in the 1970s.
Awesome. Dont get me wrong, I enjoy your restorations, but way to bring that old toy car into the 21st century. Great job. Hope to see more upgrades like this one.
Different. Cannot say I am thrilled. Great job! Thanks for your effort...
His videos are so satisfying for some reason
I gotta admit that as soon as I read that you were hydro dipping I thought "Hmmmm, this should be a f***-up"......definitely not a fan of it but it did turn out very nice....well done!
That is really fantastic, great job. Id never seen that done before and I can think of all kinds of applications for it, going to do some homework on the product. Thanks for showing it. Take care and be well and safe.
Out of the park !!!!
SOO KOOOOOLLLL.
I did a Hotwheels car and dipped it in red and yellow . I made a video of it .
Big fan of yours .
Mike Espo .
Wow! I haven't seen a vehicle that colorful since the Partrige Family Tour Bus.😎 I had a VW Beetle just like that when I was a kid, but mine was a single shade of red.
Did the company contact you, or did you contact them?
That was epic! Is that technology available for a full sized vehicle? Redemtion at is finest sir. Bravo for continuing to evolve.
I loved it. So creative. I would have drove the hell out of that thing back in the day.
Fantastic! I love it. Except for one very minor thing my OCD will not let go of. The mismatched wheels. If they had been any other way; one type on the front, the other on the rear . . . Or one type on the left, the other on the right . . . But to have them on opposite sides, opposite axles, that's just too much.
What a way to do something different to that Tonia VW Beetle - thumbs up to you and Kansas Hydrographics!🎨🇺🇸💁🌈:-)🆒🖌️👍👍👍👍👍👍
Good work Done 👌
Thumbs up 👍
👏 👏
First you show the blast cabinet, then you play the YAY!, then you get the like. Lol
Wow, I love the finished product! The hydro-dip finish is spectacular! Good job on the wheels too - that's a tough taping job.
Thanks! 👍
I had forgotten the marginal quality of the 1970's Tonka product..
These old models sure age realistically, rusted floor pans and all..
Hydro dipping is amazing! 😲
Thanks for watching!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
I think I need help! my favourite part is always the cheering when the sand blaster appears!!
Me too. I find myself chuckling and saying "shut up" every time.
@@Hoonozit Haha. It's a little too loud when it catches me by surprise.
@@lt7automotive931 It's way too loud, it wakes me up just when I doze off. But it's funny!!
Nope. Always the powder begins to fly.
Very cool! All those colors remind me of the 1960's. Great restoration, my friend!
I'm surprised you didn't replace the bumpers. You could see the notches where they would have been.
I have too admit I was a little concerned about the hydrodipping and the pattern. But you knocked it out of the park. Absolutely beautiful restore. Nice work sir. I shall not second guess you again.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely DOPE! love the grid design with all the colors! Very cool and unique! 😁👌🏻
I would mess the hydro-dipping up but you made it look so easy. Awesome job!
That came our cool! Love it.
Okay.... I have GOT to try the hydro dipping stuff! Very cool!
I dig it man, H8ters gona H8. it was just about lost to the sands of time, and you restored it your way.
Great project, but the pattern destroyed the only redeeming thing about those cars ...the body line! I still appreciate hydro dipping (and shoutout to Kansas Graphics for sponsoring this), but this seemed like a missed opportunity to use that beautiful powder blue. Maybe make a custom "super beetle" in the future? Do you like bright yellow?😁
ZeroFox Gibbon Also made it look like modern plastic rubbish. 😰
Woud of looked better sprayed yellow with some roof racks. And a little Ted Bundy.
An OUTSTANDING customization job!!.. All ready for the hippies to drive around Woodstock in!!.. Keep up the great work Bud!!
Right on!
Great work on the hydro dipping. Took a chance and it absolutely paid off. Great graphic.
You either got very lucky or You're very careful to get the pattern to blend well at the seams of the parts. I'm very impressed. Well done!
Yea the pattern takes care of itself when it comes to blending, because the seems are actually all mismatched.
I have an old tonka bug! Except its jacked up in the back and has a huge chrome engine sticking out the back.. Think it was called the cherry bomb. Has stickers on the doors that look like cherry bombs... Bought it at a swap meet hope to do it some justice like you do with your restorations.
Looks a lot like the VW my husband drove while we were stationed in Germany. Before the restoration.
😮😆
Forgiveness and restoration are two difference acts. Forgiveness can lead to restoration but restoration is not hinged to forgiveness.
Just needs a little Janis Joplin doll behind the wheel.
(*Janis)
Needs a Joker doll behind the wheel.
@@vargr, yes, 'cause the Janis doll would probably throw up!
she drove a 356.
@@meatnug Geez I will be sure not to make any more light hearted comments about toy cars unless they are exactly historically correct. I notice you removed the part about the flowers after you realized that was not exactly correct. BITCH
What a fun toy! Beautiful work as always.
I can see 7 hippies coming out of this with 2 guitars in a suspicious cloud of smoke and 2 bowls of chili fries and ‘organic’ brownies. Good memories!
AWESOME RESTORATION!!! Hydro Dipping?, never heard of it, but from what I've seen, FANTASTIC!!. thanks for sharing TRGR.
I've seen the process used only one other time. Of course it comes in many colors and patterns.
You can do any design or color on this body. The best aesthetics of any car in history will always be VW/Porsche ❤️ Beautiful work
Yaaay...good job !!from Brazil.
Really enjoyed this one, transfer process was brilliant. Well done and great restore.
Thank you! Cheers!
That dip came out killer! Very cool build!
Sweet psychedelic look for the 21st digital century!
Destruístes toda a santidade de um Fusca azul! Corta meu coração ver tamanha desconsideração! Still, the result is amazing.
Wow nice paint, i love all the process!
The work you are doing is great. I am also beginning, a difficult start
My foster father had a green one of these. My little froster brother and I used to ride shotgun sharing the passenger seat.
Wow I've never seen the hydrographics process done
Brilliant work love the finish...
I had seen other restoration channels and I just came across yours and I absolutely loved it! Already subscribed :)
At it again! Beautiful!!
Você é um gênio da restauração...! Parabéns pelo profissionalismo...
That is the coolest dam paint job
Psychedelic......digital shrooms dude !
Nice work
I'm always waiting till the beginning of the sand blasting process because, I love to here that child scream sound.....💯💗
nice seeing a local place sponsoring....
i for some reason that it was was more difficult than that. thanks.
Waow this restoration is amazing ! You have now a new fan from France ;)
Welcome aboard!
About the only way that could be improved is if the hydrodip was a rainbow of flowers. That would have the bug sooooo "flower child" in appearance.
It will probably give a former hippy a remembrance of one terribly bad trip!
Buitifull! Grand work.congratulations from Panamá.
Looks awesome..I’ve gotta try this hydrodipping .. Shocked to see the wheels paired diagonally though..what was your reason for doing that might I ask ? .. & where did the lamp lenses disappear to ? 🤔👍
Nice restoration, but when we have two pairs of different rims, we can
put both on the same side for an aesthetic reason, anyway, we can not
see both sides of a car at the same time !
Symmetrical wheels? Get a grip.
@@Fazmagarical Get a grip ?
duncan mcleod it’s a very trippy car I think he did it justice ✌️😃
@@Fazmagarical ok lol !
The good days when toys like this were real.
Awesome as always Tim 🙂🚗
Thanks again!
What an EXTRA COOL way of getting graphics on a car!
I drove one of these in HS, painted it black, top silver. Wrote Copenhagen on sides...so it looked like a snuff can. Wish I had a pic. Yours looks better.
😎 psychedelic paint job!!
