I purchased this 1960s Buddy L Horse Riding Academy Truck October of 2020 on eBay. It was missing quite a few pieces and in pretty rough shape. Overall it was a perfect candidate to restore. After sandblasting I found that the body was in really great shape with very minor pitting. A good coat of filler primer took care of the pits. The rear ramp was missing, the horse divider, the horses and the plastic top for the horse pen. I was pretty happy with how the vacuum formed part came out being only my second attempt at making a usable part. I'm definitely still learning and finding that its a little more of an art than a science. Overall I was very happy with how this truck came out. Thank you for watching!

@martinvs6415 3 года назад

Masterful! A splendiferous restoration. Restoration is a must he takes a thing of rust brings it up shining again ans sometime, it appears, does cause him some pain he never gives up working with finger sore and if he is not more careful he won't do it no more. You have 10 digits is true what you do with them is up to you but cutting them off one by one is a lot more pain than fun.

Chip, your channel is much more than the restoration of time-pieces. It is a microcosm of American manufacturing and ingenuity. These were heirloom pieces and not just toys. Your work belongs in the Smithsonian Museum or as a traveling museum exhibit. Your craft as are your restorations -timeless!!

No, the wrecker has to go pick it up and drag it to the shop. And you didn’t just place the horses in the truck. No! You walked them up the ramp!!😂. This is why I love you!!! (And the beautiful hands!) 😉

@ninahudson3542 3 года назад

I LOVE watching you restore. It's amazing the amount of detail that went into making these toy trucks/cars. You show this, by your step by step removal and restoring. I only ever hope, that one day, I too, may be able to have the knowledge to work these machines, and tools, to do this. It has always been a dream of mine. Look forward to ALL your next work. Thank you so much for the entertainment, understanding, and fun in allowing me/us to watch your talent. All the best. 😘😘😘

@FraserFir-sb4lk 4 месяца назад

He did, that specific toy was originally a maroon color. That said, the Carolina blue he painted is also incredibly close to another original color option for that model. It's still a mostly historically accurate restoration.

@chesterswingjr9796 3 года назад

Beautiful job!!! It’s a shame the current generation of kids have NO idea what playing with toys like this was like. They have NO creativity, unless it’s on a cellphone, or game console. So glad I grew up in the late sixties, and seventies!!!

Had to watch this one as my brother had the identical truck when we were kids! So glad you went with the blue. We (cousins, brother, self) usually abused our Dinky and Corgi vehicles in the dirt of the farm each summer, and the Tonkas and Buddy Ls were much more practical; we just didn't have enough of them! Brings back memories from a lo-o-ong time ago!

I remember when I was very young I always loved to go visit my mother's brother's house in Ohio. He had an attic full of toys just like these. Heavy duty metal cars, trucks, tractors, and trailers that his kids, 20 years my senior, used to play with in the 40s and 50s. Your videos bring back such fond memories of those days. Awesome restoration! Thanks.

This example is in turquoise...but it also came in sky blue, dark red, and tan brown. In the 1964 Buddy L catalog the retail price was U.S. $5.33, which included the truck, two adult horses, two baby horses, and a plastic corral fence.

I think you're one of the best Tonka/BuddyL/Nylint restorers on RU-vid. You and Rescue & Restore. I like how you use the primer powder coat properly and wet sand each part before color coating. The powder coat bakes on so evenly. Like better than new! When I saw the truck before you sand blasted, I couldn't even tell what color it was originally. Underneath all that surface rust, I thought the truck was a dark red. ADDED: Went on Google and searched this certain truck, and it was a dark red originally. Wonder what made you decide to use a light blue? Just curious.
