1970s Mighty Tonka Tow Truck Wrecker Restoration 

THIS！！ Makes the end results silky smooth

Makes me want to go back in time to the 70s/80s and get my hands on some old-school metal toys! (I still miss my ‘78 Tonka ambulance) 🚑

@mike saliva yea

Brock Ellis That’s why he’s my favorite restoration RU-vidr

Totally, I find music distracting. Also love the fact there's no need for explanations either. You understand what's going on just by watching.

Yes! Especially since RU-vid vids invariably have some of the worst “music” ever blaring to the point I have to either turn off the sound or the video one.

Brock Ellis Yes i do and I LOVE IT!!! Not yapping either!! Brilliant work! BRAVO!

@@AnimeShinja36 my favorite as well. I watch a few others, but I keep rewatching the videos on this channel.

Thank you very much! I will contact tiktok.

What a gremlin they are, it’s good that you told em :)

*Yes officer this tiktoker right here*

Son of a Beach

The ban will take care of them.

They do that also to faded bumpers and trim on cars. Use a heat gun to get more even coverage.

@@gforcekaras The heat gun should also reduce the risk of (local) melty mistakes.

And here I thought you meant him ordering replacements :D

I thought so too! lol

I have created a video I want you to watch and leave me a tip

@@salahsworkshop6532 I subscribed. I love Restauration videos! Good luck with your channel!

Not only that but also to prevent the powder coat from cracking when the tabs are pushed in.

@@gforcekaras That makes SO much sense, awesome job.

I did wonder about that!

More restoration in Mi chanel!

The torch was cool... then the way he did the white on the tires! Totally rad.

Or get a flamethrower.

Learned something new today, thanks!

The sandblasting has always been my favorite part of these videos. There is something incredibly calming about it. It just leaves me with the feeling that I wish I was the one doing it. :P

Nice tool right?

**Cocoon** you mean? Also, he probably knows it’s not a bug but the “case” from one. Also, this is not a cocoon, this is a pupa from a moth (most likely), a cocoon is made out of silk, what he showed on the video is from the naked stage of a moth or butterfly, like a chrysalis.

Santiago, at least they told us

Emma, this is Depressaria depressana: insectamo.ru/new/109-mikrocheshuekrylye/elachistidae/1879-depressaria-depressana

eh, depends on the toy, when I was 5 my grandma got me this awesome radio controlled liner jet and to this day I can't believe that a toy like that could be made. It has lights, sounds, it tilts in the direction of every manuever and the controller works by tilting it like a real airplane yoke with a nice functional tilt indicator on the front. it has been my favourite toy for years, and even now I always keep some batteries around for it so my younger cousins and my nephew can play with it when they come over. in about 20 years of use not only not a single component broke in it which would be quite reasonable for such a complex toy, we didn't even manage to scratch the paint. besides that though, I was wondering, did tonka toys come this good out of the factory or is he fancying them up? I might've not been able to experience what it felt like to receive one for christmas as a child but honestly he makes them look so good that even as an adult I'd be far more thrilled than someone my age should be to get my hands on one:)

NPC They looked that good out of the factory.

NPC they used to be made in Mound Minnesota now in China and not nearly as much metal on them now I have a small metal fab shop I E mailed Hasbro if they have a shortage I’d like to stamp out parts like the old ones they could have a retro re issue of that style we saw restored I bet they would sell well !

@@npc6817 I have a mint condition dump truck of similar age. It does look that good besides a little play-wear

Legio VI i recomend tysytube too are my favorite

Odd Tinkering, and Awesome Restoration are some other good ones.

Not Asyaz what do you mean?

@@esther6748 there is another channel who do restoration too, called "My Mechanics"... And in almost every video he says "I make a new one"

@@nathanieldeleon4678 thank you for explaining it

My Mechanics, he “Makes a new one” (i.e. mills new parts like screws and washers on a mini milling lathe) in every video. He takes this restoration stuff up to eleven, and a *lot* of restoration channels have been stepping their game up because of him.

Got it! Thanks for explaining! 😁

TheExtremeAnimator I was thinking the same thing!

Looks like you have a future repairman, encourage that, it's a worthwhile profession.

Definitely! Trade schools are encouraged at our house for our kids.

notxarb he makes the decals

Like Silence of the Lambs!

Put the lotion in the bucket

This is the comment I was looking for.

"Hello, Clarise"! :)

I thought I had read in a post in an old video that his daughter(?) plays with them. I am sure there is quality family time playing cars....

More restoration in Mi chanel!

I think most of them are commissioned. I believed he explained it in a comment.

Not to advertise another channel to take away from this one, but Odd Tinkering is another one of my favorites who specialize in metals & electronics restorations. rescue & restore & odd tinkering are my two favorites. Similar styles, different sorts of projects.

I haven’t gotten to that part yet soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo yeah

Yes! My heart started pounding!

Wait but he did paint it with the powder paint

@@Zesty14 He primed it, but that's not the same as painting.

My thought EXACTLY!

My thoughts were "Who cares? It's dead."

More restoration in Mi chanel!

Beat me to it...

Could be a cocoon.

SolitareLee i love it!!!

Haha try guys are one of my favorite youtubers but I've done the same thing. There's few things I wouldn't stop watching for this guy.

Martin Liguori I was just thinking that

Yeah! Can’t wait to see that next project too!

Agreed

Ditto!

Unfortunately I couldn’t escape it. Got even worse

Nikki Heinrich thank you for using the correct terminology 😍🤩

harlockmbb I wasn't asked, but lemme answer, sandblasting box is hermetical closed, so sand just goes down to be used again

Yeah these guys are great but my mechanics is on a whole different level

Maybe we’ll get a collab some day 😁

To be correct - it's "I make a new one" (the one and only) - and my mechanics would have deburred the new rubber parts ;)

no restoration channel will ever reach my mechanics detailing level

It's like my mechanics is the father of all restoration channels and it's so adorable to see R&R say "I'll make new ones"

David Samuel Leonides Herrera he collects them. He may sell them one day.
