Today, TRG and Chip Channel videos. Great Sunday. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

the difference between being a hoarder and being prepared is organization! you are so organized!! love the case with the extras. and the pitting almost makes it look like a sculpture. lovely work. 5 ad breaks, 10 ads, 2 skippable.

The seemingly unending supply of super rusty Tonka trucks amazes me

Even though I know that there's no danger to me seeing someone welding in a video, I always look away lmao. My parents got really into a welding class when I was a kid and hammered it into my brain a little too hard. Love the final look! Straight restos are cool but I also love seeing your creativity!

Bad ass!!! Nice sticker too!

I dig this. Love the polishing of the body. The overall theme gives me the vibe of a truck that would be on someone’s desk (desk art), or part of a trophy / award. The outcome is quite fun. Good job!

It takes a special ‘something’ to mod stock vehicles. Doesn’t matter if it’s a toy or a full-size car; KUDOS Joe!

That custom tonka was beautiful, I loved it

More more more. Rat rods please. Cool 😎

Really cool 👍

Incredible transformation

Fantastic, what a great result. Always loved the Rat Rod look. Great video, thanks for sharing 🙂

It needs stack exhausts! An outstanding Rat-Rod for the collection.

One of my favorite shows that used to be on Motor Trend was Vegas Rat Rods or something like that and they made some of the coolest rat rods out there. This resto Tim is right up there with those "Ratties" for sure.👍🍻✌

Don’t think I’ve actually seen a Patina build, nice job!

Nice, next step, 3D print interiors

Very very cool. After seeing the polish and clear coat - I think that looks better than the super chrome. And I think a flat color would have looked better than the brass....I think a flat black would have looked really cool. Definitely the rusty white wall look best. Very very cool!

Great job on tonka rat rod custom restoration trg restoration 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

Reminds of that scene from 'Animal House' where D Day is chopping up the 1964 Lincoln.

I love watching the entire process - thank you! ✌🏻🎨☕️

Phenom! Excellent save!

Great way to save what some would see as trash. I take on many basket case 1:64 cars just to try and save them!

Hell yeah. You need to do more custom rods nd rat rods. 👍

6:05-6:13 LIIIIIIIIIIIIKE IT!

Rat Rod Ronka. Makes me imagine a gear head kid in a commercial making revving noises.

Your right it is different, also really cool.

Enjoyed every minute, great fun😀😀

Concept very cool, execution awesome, color eeeeh.

Watching you do this is so calming. I want to learn how to do this. I have an old metal noisemaker, the crank handle kind, that needs to be restored. I need to learn this skill.

Excellent job

Love the design. The color is not my vibe but still it’s awesome.

Looks Bad Ass... very nice! 🤩👍👍👊

I really like what you did with this. Sometimes it’s good to do something different with them. Keep up the great work you are doing. And thanks for another great video.

Cool Rat Rod Tim🙂

Very bad ass!! Love it!! It's cool to see the stuff be put back to original however, making it your own and doing something different, taking something old and adding a little bit of a modern twist old twist to it is awesome to see

Really cool

Amazing idea and great outcome!

That is freakin awesome! Now it needs the other half! Great work!👏

This turned out great, good job. You could do a rust converter on some rusty parts and then clear over that like some rat rodders have done. Also you could try shoe polish on the white walls to see if they can be stained to the look you want. Might take some trail and error to get it to work right.

I absolutly like it !

Sweet!!

Good call , nice work

Looks cool well done.

How creative! Very nice customize!

Great idea and wonderfully executed!

Amazing 👏

What a machine!

Well done very good 👍

So good!!!! I was asking for an original and you delivered!!!!

Talk about celebrating a patina! This is an odd one, but I like it.

Nice 👍

SOOO KOOOOOLLLLL !!!

Such vision, nice build, cheers!

That was really, really cool.

Cool project 👍great job buddy as always 👍

Excellent bravo👍👍👍👍👍💥

Estupendo resultado de este proyecto Tonka Rat Rod, respetos desde Venezuela.💯🤜🔥🤛👍👍🙏💯

I'm diggin' the rat rod look. There was a car show over in Morro Bay, CA a couple years ago and there were several there. Very cool.

cool video again. Now that it's not original it's much more fun. greetings from the Netherlands.

A grinder and paint make me the welder I ain’t. 😂😂😂😂

Really enjoyed it. Real cool looking. Just wish you would make a full interior for one. With your talent it should be easy and very cool looking!

Very kool

Bob Rossi would love it!

Interesting creative job. The paint job is neat and the lights are just the right touch. Carol from California

Judging by what appears to be a siren on the front fender, I'd say this started life as a hook and ladder truck

That absolutely looks damn good 👍🏼

Nice job man

Gotta admit. Pretty impressive. Great work. Poor thing can go only in a straight line though but cute.

I’ve been waiting for something this damn cool. Keep up the good work.

Looks awesome mate. Great video as always 👍🏼👍🏼

Cool! Now you just need a nice trailer.To match the truck!

Hey Tim, thanks for share another job! Can I be honest with you? I remember when you did other Tonka truck with lights and that one was an amazing job. This time the welding of the roof got weird. But don't give up, you are the best toy restorer of the youtube. Greetings from Chile.

Someone needs to make some Hot Rod type tires and wheels this scale. Cool build.

Not a whole lot of head room there! Lol!

Hello TRG beautiful restoration

I like where you're going with this

That’s sick af 👍🏻🔥🤘🏻

It was originally a ladder fire truck, but it looks better as a customized rat rod.

I don't think it was too far gone to restore, but I dig the custom look. Needs some pinstriping to finish it off.

A.V.E : Sandpaper and paint make me the welder I ain't . :D

Look at that it's complete destroy it already broke, i passed the time the Wheel look dirty 😏🛠🛻 "Another one bites the dust" 😎🎙

I was hoping for you to pick the rusty white walls over the bright white ones. Looks AWESOME!

Color isn't my favorite, but I love this thing! It'd look really good in a painted rust-like finish, IMO On another note, this thing would be siiiiick with a trailer made in the same style

Its cool

Now you need to RC this one with a high speed kit.

It´s a nice work!!, like for you.

Dope💯

21:08 BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!,

**the lights was a nice touch!!!**

Excelente muy bueno

Grinder and paint makes you the welder you ain't.

Well , that actually turned out pretty good. The pitting on that thing would have taken a bucket of bondo and hours of sanding to get rid of. Enjoyed the video and looking forward to your next one.

How often do you have to change the sand in your sand blaster?

Nice resto-mod, looks great. I'm not a fan of the chop top since I wouldn't fit in there! Love the patina. Can I borrow your blast cabinet!

Bob Ross never Die!

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I just subscribed and I'm catching up on past videos. The powder-coating is next level and it's something I'm considering. Would you mind sharing the specifics of your set-up? Thanks!

Great work as always! Tho I think the top chop was a tad too aggressive. It doesn't look like a driver could fit, or see out if they did. That's my only criticism.

I did something very similar, except painted, with a mighty tonka about 15 years ago.

Pretty bada$$
