Hey everyone and welcome back to another restoration. In today's video I am tackling a super rusted out Tonka Jeep Ambulance! This thing looks like it was spent most of it's life out in the elements. I started by disassembling the ambulance and striping the paint and dirt off each part. I then sandblasted and powdercoated all the metal components. I paint matched the powdercoat with Rustoleum spray paint. To get the old yellowed plastic back to it's original white shine, I bleached the parts with Hydrogen Peroxide, OxiClean, and UV light. The original dome light was faded and lost all red color so I busted out the calipers and modeled up a new part. Using an Elegoo Mars 3D resin printer I was able to replicate the original bulb. All chrome parts were refinished with Bare Metal Chrome foil. What a tedious and frustrating process! I reassembled and placed it on the shelf with the other restorations.
