1960s Buddy L Light Up Fix A Flat Tire Tow Truck Restoration
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 вер 2021
- I purchased this 1960s Buddy L Light Up Fix A Flat Tire Tow Truck on HiBid March of 2021.This thing wasn't even blown off before being sent off to auction. It still was covered in spider webs and dirt all over it. Makes you wonder where this poor truck has been sitting for years. Overall it wasn't in terrible shape, just very well played with. The worst of the rust was on the passenger side rear of the tow truck bed. It was missing a windshield, the wrench for the tires, the flat tire, and tow hook otherwise it was in decent shape for its age. I'm not extremely happy with the color choice for this one and typically like something with a little more shine to it, however I believe it's very close to the orginal finish the truck would have had. I'm a sucker for the light up trucks so this one will look great with the rest of them. When I was putting the Light cover on top it actually broke in half and I had to glue it back together to get the video out, I've got a new one on order as well as a replacement windshield. The windshield that I recieved was scratched ont he inside. I'm not 100% sure that I didn't scratch it after recieving it however It may have came that way also, either way it'll be replaced again.

My dad worked in the paint shop at Chrysler, when I was a kid I would take my matchbox and hot wheels cars apart and my dad would take the bodies to work with him and paint them at the plant for me, such great memories
Good morning Chip Chanel Congratulation the Fábio and Rafael from Brazil. The best restauration.
Love me some Tow trucks... great video....
Hey Chip
Wow😮
Take care😁
Videos fill me with serenity. Like watching a fish tank!
This vid is the first one I've watched as it was released. I've been working through your back catalogue. I'd recommend it to anyone. My mistake was to work backwards in time. It gave the impression that your technique was getting poorer... So halfway through I stopped, went back to the first video, and moved forward in time... much more satisfying watching you improve. Thanks for all the pleasure your vids have given me.
I think the colour looks great. It shined in the video.
You are by far the kid with the coolest toys on the block!
Chip, Another good one.......If your Kitty Cat keeps shaking its head when eating, Have a Vet take a look at its teeth.
Your work, and results of your restos are impecable. ....You must have some kind of money, to buy all that machinery, ...cnc machines, lathes, saws, welders, molding equipment, etc., etc.........enjoy...!!!!
That collection makes this big kid swoon!!
I was actually watching your old videos 😂❤️❤️
Spectacular Restoration !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These bring back so many memories of the holiday sears and spegal catalogs
I find these videos deeply calming and relaxing.
Same =)
I can't relax until all the cobwebs are gone... just in case! 🧡
I agree
Me too... I watch them last thing and fall asleep on a positive note.
Я тоже
Truck lot still full. Love your restores
This reminded me of my grandsons broken toys ,,,we owned a towing company back when he was small ,,,my son went to clean his room ,in a box was tires, doors, rims , windshields ,all kinds of parts ( broken stuff ) my son went to throw them away ,,my grandson crying your throwing away my scrap yard ,,,,,love your videos
Awesome restoration Chip, thank you from South Africa
Отличный результат! Лайк!
Excellent result! Like!
The most skillful artist and reformer .
Wow!! Great Work That’s Fantastic!!! 👍😁
Awwww you got rid of the spider hotel! 😂. Great job! Love the finish and the color!
Chip! The sheep!!!
Édit: I love the video even without sheep😉
Oh my gosh... I love the sheep. Ha, very nice work on the Buddy L also.
Thanks so much Carol L!
Amazing work sir chip.....
I miss the sheep…..
I still love the amazing work you do!
36:32 Thank you!
They may be creepy-crawly, but they do wonders for the environment. Spiders are our friends, with too many legs. I enjoy your creativity by the way!
Great restoration, good video, just good memories . Stay safe and healthy. Thanks 😊
Your repair is very nice. It will be helpful. Sheep are also cute:)
These old light up cars are always my favorite. ♡
I love the start of these videos with the towtruck,absolutely priceless.
Another brilliant rescue!!
I liked seeing the sheepclops supervising the tire being changed. :) Everything's better with toy sheep.
Your big hook and ladder firer truck is just like the one my younger brother had while we were growing up. I’d love to see you bring that one back to new. 👍
Me too!!!! I have been asking for a bit now. 😻
you do a great job of restorating the vehicules
Another beautiful transformation. I think the one eye sheep can go by the name 'Jack' for this edition
Love the color. Love the kittie…getting biggerrrrr 😻
That would have been a nice truck to get as a present. Once again, Nice job !!!
Restoration is dying artform. It's awesome to see someone restore things to their former glory. Thanks for sharing.
Another excellent job !!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
Just remember to BEWARE OF THE SPIDERS 🕷 !!!! 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
🎵🎶 The Sheep are back in town, the sheep are back in town (The sheep are back, the sheep are back!) 🎶🎵
Muy buena restauración amigo Chip
Whenever I see the pink primer, I'm reminded of the movie Operation Petticoat.
Don't forget the sequel. I believe it was called, The Pink Submarine.
@@vulpinemac They made a sequel? 😮
@@c.j.cleveland7475 Aye. Most of the same actors, including Tony Curtis, IIRC.
Beautiful job as always
Wow very nice job great looking truck 😎👍👍
It’s a lifetime mission to restore all the cars
Restoration really great 👍
Very nice job well done.
Thank You for posting.
this has to be the nicest towing of the period.
good work bro.
Excellent restoration
First one of these I have ever seen. Awesome job. My first step would have been to soak it in Raid all night, I don't do spiders either.
I had one as a child oh the fun I had ,,thanks for the memories my friend
Looks better than new especially considering its condition!
That is one cool tow truck Chip. Awesome restoration on it as well! Enjoy your weekend
Bravo… amazing…
Looking forward to the next one
I love the sandblasting. It's satisfactory
I had loads of buddyL vehicles when I was a boy!!!
Beautiful..as always. You never would have fixed that flat without sheep's help
teacher is impeccable work
Excellent restoration well done
Great work on a beautiful toy truck! Love your channel! Cheers!😀👍🛠️🔧
You do absolutely beautiful work
Yup i was wondering where all the sheep were wasn't disappointed. And cat approved and double click on the like button.
Boy you got quite the fleet going.
marvelous craftsmanship.
Chip, a marvelous restoration, again! The damage caused by rust has been professionally removed.
Wow! Impressive collection. Impressive.
Sending support, love, and kindness from Lexington MI USA.
As always, great job! I really enjoy watching these. A sheepy “I’m OK” T-shirt is a logical way forward 😁
Indeed, and an I'm OK sheep mug.😁
I’ve been asking for Sheep merch for more than a year, to absolutely no avail. I gave up. 😞
@@lindak8664 Maybe if more people ask for it?
@@janvanherck1547 Several requests on each vid not enough?
@@YeahNo Keep on trying?😁😁😁
Wow what a beautiful job!
Fabulous restoration
Incredible work 👌
Navajo Nuget, my favorite auto color! Take your compressor and blow away the spiders before you work. You know, the one that drives the sandblaster.
Never seen this type of battery housing on a vehicle. It takes away from the vehicle appeal. I wish it was under the vehicle. Get another tire if you don't like the flat always on display. But I like the fact that it can be changed! Another suppurb job by you Chip!
you do great work ,chip.thank you.larry
Awww yeah thats one of my fav colors it looks like a shade like Tiffany blue though i know some companies have different names for it but yeah it looks like a tiffany blue awesome video as always
At the start, when the rusty wrecker is towed away by your green wrecker, this thought popped into my head (and I'm not religious, so why I thought exactly that, I have no idea):
"Physician, heal thyself."
Your restoration is great, and the truck looks gorgeous. Nice one.
Another amazing transformation! Thank you for sharing!
The light up ones are really neat to watch!!!
Still waiting on the Carousel, though… 🎠
Lovely restoration.
Again great work. Looks badass with the light.
Yep, another memory brought back to life. 👍
A remarkable restoration. Very relaxing to watch while I enjoy a cup of coffee! And thank you for not playing any background music! Thank you. ☆
I miss the sheep all over the junkyard at the beginning. It was like where’s my favourite sheep instead of Where’s Wally/Waldo.
Funny thing I started the video then ???????isn't this the little sheep dude channel????
Almost checked my med dosage!
Yes bring back the 🐑
I also missed the sheep! If all of the sheep were on vacation, Chip Channel at least owes us vacation photos of the sheep at the beach, etc !
Edit: 36:30 The sheep have returned from vacation! Cyclops may have had to stay home, but he got to ride in the new tow truck! Thanks for the sheep, I missed them the whole video!
I miss them too. Takes the fun out of it.
LOVE this restore!! You are a master! ❤️
Nice job 👍👍👍
Love the salvage yard theme at the beginning. ❤
Stinkin' spiders get into everything. Drives me crazy. Great job and a great video 👍
From total wreck to brand new👍❤️
Espectacular master...🎖🏅🏆 Saludos desde Viña del Mar Chile🇨🇱
Amazing transformation
Another amazing restoration!!
Excelente restauracion de esta grua Buddy L Light Up Fix de 1960, respetos desde Venezuela.💯🤜🔥🤛👍💯💯💯🙏
I have this same truck. I got it as a kid. The only difference is that mine is sort of a beige color rather than blue. Beautiful restoration.
Heavenly. Wish I could go back
I live the sand blasting part.. so soothing..
Great job, it was amazing!
Quita que chulada cuando yo era niño me fascinaban las grúas yo las inventaba con trozos de madera y cordones fui muy pobre no había para comprarme juguetes saludos desde Sonora
Great restoration job, Chip. Thanks for all these videos. Hug.
Another awesome job.
I'm with you Brother, at least that's one dead spider!
