    This is no longer just a toy. It's a piece of history. It must be very satisfying for you to know that you are preserving a valuable artifact from our past. Well done.

    I find it interesting that the 1930’s toys tested negative for lead paint but the ‘newer’ 1950’s toys were positive. Your work is top of the line and always a pleasure to watch from start to finish.

      This was one of the oldest iron toy trucks; that have ever gotten restored, in spite of the fact that it had a 1953 manufacturing date. This iron toy truck had lead paint laced with.🚚 🛻 🚚 🎨 😳 😬 👏 😐 👌 🎨

    I have heard of vehicles held together with "bailing wire and spit", but this is the first one I've seen-outside of the old jalopy that the Beverly Hillbillies rode around in. Also, that particular toy would have been part of a collection, but boys can be rough to their toys. I played with my trucks until the wheels came off. I still miss the 32 Ford pickup, Willys Jeep and 65 stepside pickup.
    Great job Chip. Thank you for your interesting Sunday mornings.

You've got me hooked to seeing what you bring back to life. Cracked me up tossing the sheep into the back and having them come back as 'lamb chops'. 😄 Great sense of humor. 🙂

    First time I have ever seen metal wheels like that on a Tonka. Also first time I have seen lead paint on one too. I enjoyed watching you fabricate the needed items, especially the floor. Looks really sharp with the metal slats! For some reason I can hear the sheep yelling "Wheeeee!" as you toss them in there. Excellent retoration!

    • @williamharris8367
      @williamharris8367 3 роки тому

      My impression was that the lead was in the orange repaint (not the original red), but there was no practical way to remove one and not the other.
      In another video/channel, a toy car had acrylic over lead paint. The stripper used removed only the top layer, leaving the lead paint beneath untouched.

  • @caroltanzi29
    @caroltanzi29 4 роки тому +14

    Your attention to details is phenomenal.
    This was the first time I saw a truck’s paint test positive for lead. It was interesting to see the extra step you needed to take. This truck really needed a lot of restoration and you made it proud with your talent and skill. Most impressive!
