I bought this truck at a flea market. I noticed it because of its size - it was giant.
It was rusty, crooked, cracked, and lacked two wheels headlights.
First, I completely disassembled and washed it with soapy water.
Then I applied a stripper and peeled off the old paint.
After that, I sandblasted all the parts and aligned the bumps.
I leveled the booth and welded the cracks in the back of the booth. It turned out to be difficult because the metal was very thin and I did not have a semiautomatic welding machine at hand. I welded it with an electrode. Then I soldered the cracks with a tin.
I sanded the surfaces with applied putty, primer and painted all.
I made a new back door from the tin.
As a pair of wheels was missing, I had to re-create them. Using the old wheel, I made a mold out of silicone. I made the wheel itself from liquid polyurethane.
At first, I tried to make new headlights using a 3D pen. But it turned out not very nice. Then I made a mold for the headlight from silicone and made the headlight from hot glue. I made headlights with built-in LEDs. I also added a USB charging circuit voltage controller and radio control.
