    This has been one of my favorite Restorations. I was WOW'd by the complexity of the Searchlight for a Metal Toy built in the 30's held together with rivets and bent tabs. Beautiful Job!

    Think about putting an 'Oscar statuette' in the green utility box as an extra- incase a movie star forgets the one they were carrying around. I think that this restoration is one of my favorites!. Your skills and craftsmanship is unmatched!

    This was very nice. As much as I appreciate you returning it to as close to original as you can, part of me wanted you to replace the bulb with several high wattage LED bulbs, a good size battery and a little vinyl batman sticker over the lens.

    I love the last minute. The line up.. you can imagine a kid in 1938 having those..

    The golden age of tap construction! Lionel tin plate trains from the same period really kept the tap-benders busy! Quite a bit of design went into these neat toys...I can picture dozens of ladies bending tabs on the a Louis Marx Assembly Line! The beautiful restoration is better than when the little truck fell into Jr's little hands!

    This Chip channel episode will definitely; bring back the memory of when I use to work at the 350 Encinal Drive Goodwill industries, back then in late 1987 to mid 1988. This is where I used to work on a Graymark electronic project; that required a one-face PC board parts components assembly, which belonged to a toy tracer robot 🤖.

    Chip, This is fantastic.! As someone who restores old cars (currently working a 1948 Chevy truck) I can truly appreciate the time and level of detail involved. This must have taken you weeks to complete. The just shy of 30 minute video does not tell the whole story of the time involved. Now time for me to go to the garage and get my butt moving on my own project.

    Chip, you did a great job on that spotlight truck.I love the line up at the end of all the lighted vehicles powered with those 'Eveready' batteries.
    I remember those from the 50's and 60's, whenever there was a grand opening or the new models were in the showroom at your car dealerships. We would ask our dad to find out where the light originated from and most times he would oblige us. Sometimes it was a group of spotlights and they would go back and forth. If I am not mistaken there was a light on the old airport in bad weather too. Nobody had GPS and these were a great way to bring people to your event.
    Thanks for these videos. Keep them coming.
