1960s Structo Fire Department Truck Restoration
Рет қаралды 331,825
3 жыл бұрынI Purchased this 1960s Structo Fire Department Truck on eBay November of 2020. It was in overall very good shape for being 60 years old. Missing the plastic mirrors, windshield wipers and horn, the aluminum ladders and fire hose as well. Outside of the corrosion and rust, it was in great shape! I was very happy with how this little truck came out! Let me know what you think in the comments!

What a beautiful finish your powder priming and wet sanding produce. And I'd swear the silver parts are polished. The powder paint on them is just incredibly good.

I'm glad that I've never seen a comment on your channel's videos about how the damages on these toys might have been faked. Other channels get them a lot. Yours are just so very authentic.

Welcome back from the deep freeze!! Thanks for the resto on the fire engine, I am partial to fire engines. Back in the days of the "five and dime" toys like this would be left where kids could get their hands on them, so the fragile parts would already be broken off even though they were brand new.

Very nicely done, my compliments! I got hooked on toy restoration by watching your channel. I have watched dozens of videos by many different presenters & I continue to be impressed by your quality of work, attention to detail, and various methods you use to create replacement parts. Thank you for the entertainment, very much enjoyed and appreciated! (the little sheep characters are a delightful addition!)
