Good Morning. This is one of the parts of collecting that I like the most. This rebuilding, repairs, from life to broken parts and pieces is pretty cool. This jeep suggests several possibilities, I imagine how it will be finished. I have a great friend, Dinho, who does this restoration work very well, we exchange a lot of ideas about the renovation processes. I hope to see this jeep with the joes on top. 😊😉👍🏿
When my younger brother played with his jeep, (he was in 2nd grade in the 60's) he crawled and had one hand pushing down on the jeep to push it. It broke in half. We got another Jeep, a 2nd generation Hasbro Jeep without the "motor noise", still have it . . . The broken jeep was repaired with a sheet of plexiglass pop-riveted to the Jeep Bottom.
Hello, great job! I would use plastic L brackets instead of rivets, even thin fiberglass strips, Very thin. Trace out a pattern from paper for hole under the hood and trace onto plastic styrene then glue in and paint. Place a couple of “retired Joe’s” around it, in a “return to recon” video!!!
It’s crazy how the whole front clip was broken off. How is the glue holding up. Some of that plastic can be a pain in the a** to get glued together. Looks good! Your paint mixing is spot on.
Hey Tim! Thanks for your videos. I use you quite often for my repairs/hobbies I do restoration as well, still a novis, but love it, and lots of customs. Any way you could help me mix a paint color for the joe keep!? What colors and paint to mix. What you like to use…. I’m repairing and restoring a few jeeps!
Thanks very much, name is Peter, as for the color I couldn't say as I just mixed till it looked right, as for paint I usually just buy the cheap stuff, acrylic for the most part. Thanks for watching and for the support.
Just subscribed after you commented on so many of my videos! I have that same Jeep. It was heart breaking to see it in such torn up condition. Nice to see you fix it. Broken toys pain me. Toy story 2 messed me up.
Great job! love when people save and restore toys most people would throw away...I assume you have some parts coming to do the rest? The name should be Frankenstein... a corpse brought back to life using what is available!
That's a great name, thanks very much for the comments buddy, yeah more parts on the way, got the steering wheel and column, hood and a sticker so far, I found out as I was researching it that its the adventure team sandstorm survival jeep.
Good job on that brother. Sorry I'm so late. That glue seems like it's pretty awesome. I may have to pick up some. I don't recall you ever squeezing the bottle for the glue to come out. Do you? That was a quick fix for you I see. I'll see you on the next one 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎃🎃🎃👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👋🏻

Great video! Good tips. I have six of these and two basket cases sitting on the shelf waiting for inspiration.
Thanks very much, here is a video of it completed ua-cam.com/video/o88db8PFve8/v-deo.htmlsi=gmVuf74KofCZh7Vu

Great Job!
Thanks very much, more to come in part 2 so stay tuned Joe Bro:)
Awesome video Peter! What a shame...it hurts me when I see vehicles destroyed like this!! 🤜🤛
Thanks, well at least it gets a second chance, could easily see this getting tossed, should make for a fun project.
@@TheSkullReviews absolutely!! Look forward to seeing the finished product!!
Maybe add a coat liquid cement to fuse the plastic
Man, that jeep sure was played with 🤣
With the 60s and 70s hard plastic vehicles and accessories, use hobby cement for styrene plastic model kits.
great man 👍🏻
Thanks very much:)

Great idea, I was looking into using plastic rivets, but yeah I like your idea
@@TheSkullReviews
If you go with the styrene idea, i'd recommend poly cement or plastic weld. Perfect for gluing this type of plastic!
@@TheToyBoy1978 Thanks, I actually just picked up a plastic welder kit today, should be interesting.
Cool beans 😎
Thank you:)

So far pretty solid, I'm thinking of using a rivet gun and a metal plate to reinforce it from the bottom, thanks for the comment buddy:)
It loojs like heavy high impact
Styrene
@@TheSkullReviews that you would repair Plastic Trash Can why not
@@TheSkullReviews yes rivet and plate this paint under neath
I used modeling glue and model putty to hold it together. I may try using metal

OLD soldier Jeep

What glue you use?
loctite superglue ultragel control
Loctire sypet Gel is very strong strongest of Super Glues
I've had great success with it so far
What soap did you use
dawn dish soap
@@TheSkullReviews to bad you had to use some glue
Otherwise you could use Car Wash Soap With Wax to help give it Shine
