      @ I use one air compressor for everything. I have the attachment that attaches to my other tools. You should look into getting one. Harbor Freight has ones already pre-built. You will probably have to make modifications on it though. - R&R

    Thank you for this video. I work in healthcare and really needed to watch something "soothing". So much of my day to day is just helplessly watching people die. 95% of my patients are elderly and Covid has hit them hard. But you restore life to objects that most would toss aside. I can only imagine how much time and work went into making this video. The culture in the U.S. is to put our elderly in a home with other elders and so many times they are forgotten about unless it's Christmas. Thank you for reminding me that there are people out there still see value and beauty in what has been discarded.

    I just admire the attention to detail you put into your restorations! Like I said before, you are very talented. I've seen others with all the high end fancy equipment just rush through a project. They will powder coat w/o primer, just a quick sandblast; and when it's done, you can see all the pitting. No sanding. No love. Most of it is replacement parts even if the original is salvageable. Very lazy restorations. It's as if they're doing it for the views & not the art. Just a lack of respect for the object they're restoring. But not your work. You can tell you truly enjoy what you're doing and it shows! Beautiful results, once again.

    After the sandblasting, you could have used an anti-rust inhibitor to help slow the rust from reoccurring. Before you applied the first coat of paint, you could have used a filling compound and then sanded smooth. Then the primer, then the wet sand, then the final paint. You worked real hard on this project. I agree with the ultraviolet light cleaning process. Best I have seen for plastic, tires, and white wall tires. Remarkable restoration. Keep up the good work.

    When you wet sand, add a couple of drops of dishwashing soap, it helps lubricate and keeps your sandpaper from loading up. Great job, you have done an excellent job.

  • @garymucher9590
    @garymucher9590 4 роки тому

    Nice effort and finish. Two thing to suggest. First, if you are going to do a primer coat to help fill in imperfections, use rattle can type so the wet sanding actually accomplishes something. Trying to wet sand powder coat is not easy. I powder coat and it is basically a plastic coating. Second, you can polish the grill section and bumper and if you can't get them to shine, use powder coat chrome on them. It looks great. Thumbs Up!

    Now I see why you have such outstanding forearms! The amount of handsanding on this rustbucket was amazing! Glad you finally have your powder coat system. You did a great first job. But maybe when you put on the front fender, you might have missed the slots under the lights?

    • @RestoreandRepair
      @RestoreandRepair  4 роки тому +1

      Hey Annette! How have you been? Thank you for your kind comment. I am happy with the powder coating system. I though the pieces came out great. Yeah there are two spokes on the way front that had to be bent where some of the powder came out while being put into the oven. Since those spots were covered with primer and wont rust I figured I would leave it alone since I am very new to powder coating. The spots were extremely small. Great observation :) I hope you have been well! - R&R

  • @pops55650
    @pops55650 4 роки тому +2

    That powder coat system looks way more forgiving than rattle can paint. There are ways to replate the grill and bumpers at home, like some others do with Hotwheels restorations. Plate then buff and it might look like new. I do like the hubcap choice. Great job !

    • @RestoreandRepair
      @RestoreandRepair  4 роки тому +1

      Hi Pops Smith, yeah this powder coating system works great. There are still a few things I need to figure out but overall I like it.

      Hi Bill, thank you for your kind comment. I really made me happy. This is a really hard question because each restoration has brought its own challenges from paint issues, to equipment issues, etc. I think the hardest one was the nylint roadster. I say that because I think I primered and painted that car 3 times. I did not show it in the video but there was major paint issues on that car and then the 3 time was the charm which the paint came out great. But having to take everything down to metal basically 3 times and then painting it was rough. Thanks for the great question. Just a heads up, the next video will have music. I am trying something a little bit different. Take care my friend. - R&R

    A couple of questions: How do you decide which steps to take for each restoration? Some with wet sand, for example, and some without. I am referring to all the different restorations. For example, in one video, you decided to chemically remove the paint and rust so as not to get it in your lungs, and other times, I don't see this.
    What do you do with the items you restore?
    How did you learn to do all this? It is fantastically perfect!
    Where do you get these very specific parts for these toys? It sounds amazing. These toys are old, as many you have indicated as being from the 1960's or a bit later. It amazes me that you can find these parts!

    • @RestoreandRepair
      @RestoreandRepair  4 роки тому +2

      Hi Carole, thank you for your kind comment. I am really happy you enjoyed the restoration video. In regards to the steps I take with each restoration its varies. It various throughout my videos because when I started my channel I was spraying paint on so I needed to wet sand to make sure I did not get any orange peel when the paint was finished. In my most recent videos I have been powder coating which doesnt really need wet sanding. Usually the finish looks good but you can get an even better finish by wet sanding then polishing.
      The reason I stopped using the EvapoRust was because it was expensive and the sandblast cabinet was faster as well as cheaper in the long run. I recently started to use vinegar which works great. So now either use vinegar to get rid of the rust or I use my sandblast cabinet. It really depends on how much time I have to complete the restoration.
      The most recent restoration that I have restored I end up selling. Some of the items I keep for myself. I learned to restore from watching others and talking to some of the other restoration channel guys behind the scenes. That is really nice of you to say by saying they are perfect.
      Lastly, the parts can be found on ebay or gasoline alley website. For my next restoration I will be restoring all the metal parts myself from now on. I had to learn how to do it behind the scenes before I do it on camera. So be on the lookout later this month for that.
      Thank you again for your kind comment and I hope you enjoy my future restorations. Take care my friend. - R&R

      Hi Texas Terry Thank you for you kind comment. The paint for this truck was white. There are 2 ways of knowing this. First, if you watch you can still see the original paint under the bumper where it was protected from the elements. Second, the Gambles trucks were predominately white especially in 59'. I always leave the chance of me being wrong but that would mean this truck had been restored before and the restorer painted it white and replace the decals along with leaving it outside a long time.

    Wow, you really did it this time, such a great job!!! I would have given a shot of clear and said look at the patina:) (Seems to be the in-word for rust) Love the work you do man! Thank you for a fantastic resto vid!

      Hey Brain, its great to see you again in the comments. How has everything been? I really appreciate your kind words. I thought the last two restorations were a lot of work but this one might take the cake on work. From the house side I did not think the rust pits were that bad but when I got to sanding it felt like it was never ending lol. Thank you for being a subscriber to my channel as well as watching all my videos. :) - R&R

    I love watching your videos and i love cleaning and making things new again as well! I was curious if you do this as a hobby, or a profession? And if it's a profession, how does one get into doing this sort of job?

      Hi Justin, I just do it for a hobby. It something fun and I am still learning the craft. I am a high school math teacher by trade as well as an ice hockey referee. So I try to fit these restorations in when I can. :) - R&R

    I have not seen any other Tonka restorer (even the big channels) who have done a better job or video than you on this. An advise would be that you invest in better hand tools (looks better), that plyer was terrible 🤤. Your video editing was great. Thank you for not playing any music 👍🏻
    Your channel has a bright future ❤️

Take care my friend. - R&R

    What type of compressor do you use? Looking to start but can’t figure out which one to get.

    • @RestoreandRepair
      @RestoreandRepair  4 роки тому +1

      Hi Jennifer, my compressor is small. I think its an 8 gallon, 1.5 hp. It gets the job done but takes a good while to sandblast everything off because I have to keep filling it back up. Hopefully one day I can get a bigger compressor. - R&R
