I’m a 53 year old retired US Army Master Sergeant as well as a child of the 1970’s. I had a Tonka Snorkel just like what you’ve restored. I’m impressed to say the least. Incredible craftsmanship!!!!

That was really awesome I enjoyed watching that one I was hard I remember them trucks when I was younger nice job

Great job... looks perfect.

❤️ well done!

I remember having this as a kid. Thanks so much for the memory flash.

Absolutely Beautiful Restoration job. Great looking red color.

Nice work really enjoyed it.😄

That's excellent job with the project and you are amazing restores look beautiful and gorgeous well done and nice video enjoy watching

There are body fillers that are made for high temp coatings like powder coat.

Gorgeous! You did the snorkel proud!

Absolutely stunning! Great job!

Amazing job!😌

I remember having one of these when I was a kid. It had a fire hydrant you hooked up to the garden hose with those black suction hoses that went from the fire hydrant to the fire truck. It would actually squirt water out of the basket deluge gun.

More great work! This one seemed to be the most complicated one that I have seen you do yet.

I use Novus Plastic Polish. The kit has three bottles, a heavy polish and a fine polish and a spray for cleaning plastic displays. You don't need to use a lot. A tiny bit on a micro fiber towel. Rub until the polish disappears the polish with a clean towel. I use it on my diecast car models instead of wax now. Leaves an ultra slick surface on the paint and the "glass" and helps repel dust. BTW, shouldn't the free end of the hose plug into that hole in the white square on the right side? I assume there would be a water pump on the real truck

Nice job !!! 🙌🤩

És caminhão vai ficar muito bonito mesmo parabéns 👏 para você mesmo

Nice job 😊maybe filler primer with loads of flatting could improve surfaces

Get the tubular rivets it makes an accurate restoration . Good job tho!

You forget about the steering wheel

If you weren't going to use bondo, why did you choose not to use a primer with a wet sand to smooth out the metal? Unfortunately you can see the pitting. Unless that was the look you were going for.

O acabamento da pintura ficou com muitas marcas da lataria, deveria ter aplicado uma base prymer para suavizar, as peças de plastico deveriam ser clareadas com hydrogen peroxide + luz UV, e em restaurações Tonka nunca se utiliza rebites pop, e realmente você necessita de um disco de polimento, mas levando em consideração a sua boa vontade de acertar , num universo de nota 10 lhe dou uma nota 6.

Just curious what media do you use when blasting?

Nice result,did you suddenly rember the steering wheel Mick Thailand

How come hardly anyone shows how they clean the Perspex windows???

You should've had some filler to put on the piece for the hoses & snorkel piece bcause it's really pitted, but otherwise nice job

Have I missed the video, where you restore dynamite????

🚒🚨

refinished not restored painted would be restored not powder coat
