I normally don’t care too much for the paid/sponsored ads, but that one was very interesting. Looks like a great desk. I guess you guys do need to make extra money too. Great vid! Keep ‘em coming.
I’m just an old guy that fixes junk in my shop but has done a lot of restoration in building. I like breathing in life into discarded junk. I have to say you do a great job make everything functional and looking like it came right off the shelf. Great job on you channel, I’m looking forward to watching.
Tonka toys were what most of us played with back in the day (early 70's), because they were built tough, rugged, and made to last! Always enjoy the detailed work and the final touches of said detail with the sticker placements at the end! Another great job, keep 'em coming, and as always thanks for sharing your work!
As always... excellent work! Your work is very calming to my busy mind. I spend long hours at work restoring rental equipment and I can relate to the importance of paying attention to details. Well done 👍🏼 my friend!
Not the Steelers. It’s the steel producers assoc. symbol it was modified a bit for the ball team . I find the powder coat primer fills all but the deepest pitting now you just need to find the super rare boat and trailer for that camper !
When I see you lavishing such love and care to restore these old toys, I sometimes think of the hours of happiness spent by some little boy or girl playing with them. Perhaps a series of little boys and girls over the decades. And that a part of those children somehow lingers in these inanimate objects. An echo of someone's childhood joy and imagination burnished in that old metal, plastic and rubber. I choose to believe that in the hereafter, those same children who touched and loved these toys will somehow be connected to your efforts and come to know what you've done.
I like to work on things and have been recently designing a workshop. What sandblaster do you use and what is your set-up for the baked on paint? Other tools you use and maybe recommend? My work tables are in the works (I'm building them myself).
The sandblaster is a Grizzly g0707. For my oven I use a small counter top style food oven. I also use a regular electric cooking oven if I need bigger. I would like to upgrade the oven to a modified smoking cabinet soon. I will say, I’m not very impressed with Harbor Freight powder coating system. It works but can be extremely annoying. I would like to upgrade this soon as well.
What a coincidence! lol Very cool! We have a truck camper as well. (An older Lance) They are neat little campers. Have a great time! Thanks for watching!
*Impressive job 👍 was that a bat that flew out the door when you started. Very cool desk. I think that will come in very handy. The finished project looks like new*
Thank you so much for allowing us to watch your transformation from old to like new. I especially like the subtle message you share in the sign behind your workbench. I am fond of the toys but all of your videos. Thanks again, and God Bless.
Nice restoration, i wish it could be a little bit longer for more detailed process. About the stickers, did you bought replacement too or did you recreate it?
it’s just a steelmark, I have seen this before somewhere and thought the same thing, I think actually it’s where the Steelers came up with their name and logo
The quality of an old STEEL toy truck!And yet Walmart sells plastic junk like they are doing us a big favor? Keep ‘em coming R&R! Your work is superb! Has anyone else notice how the prices keep going up, but the quality of the product going down?

Where in the world did you get new side windows from? Tonka actually sells these? Seems they would be obsolete.
I wondered the same thing about the windows.
I found them on eBay. Thanks for asking!
I have that exact one....and it has the exact same rust. Lol
Just copy this video and give it a fresh look! 😉
@@RebuiltRestored 😄...haha... I'm not that talented
First class restoration, well done!
Many thanks! Have a great weekend!!
It's like Wheelie Yellow 1965!
Nice restoration, i wish it could be a little bit longer for more detailed process. About the stickers, did you bought replacement too or did you recreate it?
Thanks! I bought the stickers online.
Great video. What size air compressor do you use to blast?
Good one
Thanks!
Great job! Didn’t these have windows in the front top of the camper or am I mistaken?
Not that I could find from my research. Thanks for watching!
Awesome!❤
Thanks! I appreciate it!
Beautiful restoration, it looks as good (or better) than new!
Thank you very much!
it’s just a steelmark, I have seen this before somewhere and thought the same thing, I think actually it’s where the Steelers came up with their name and logo
Yes. That’s where the logo came from.
Thanks for the info!
LET'S GO!!!!!!!
where do you get your parts from
I found them on eBay. Thanks for watching!
How did you source the sliding windows? Have to find a donor truck?
Браво! Отличная реставрация! Интересно- дальнейшая судьба реконструированных изделий? ❤
It was already played with! Thanks for watching!
Loved the evapo rust slam 😂
Thanks for watching!
Nice! Made from US Steel baby!!!
Thanks! Made to last.
Lovely job, wish it was as easy as that to get the rust off my DIY micro camper Suzuki Carry!
Thanks much! And that sounds interesting!

Who's going to take an old Tonka truck and make it look like me😅
Me!
Just a quick question. Why do you use JB Weld instead of body filler.
I’m guessing because of the high heat needed for powder coating.
Yes, JB Weld will withstand high temps need for powder coating.
@RebuiltRestored Good info to know.
Good job mister beautiful restoration
Thank you kindly!

Wherever did you find new wheels and windows?!?
I was able to buy the parts on eBay.
Very nice! I’m guessing there are at least some replacement parts available?
Yes, I found parts on eBay. The wheels I bought were used but in nice shape.

Ah! Please 😢 the rubber gloves squeaking on the stickers hurt my ears
Annoying asmr! 😉
Seeing as Chip Channel only posts about twice a year, I guess this will do.
The legend right there!
I would be curious to know just how much of the powder is lost when applying a powder coat. Seems like a lot.
