1960s Structo Fire Department Truck Restoration

[@samadkins843]

you did a great job restoring the fire truck.

[@denaristergerian]

I'm glad that I've never seen a comment on your channel's videos about how the damages on these toys might have been faked. Other channels get them a lot. Yours are just so very authentic.

[@johnmccormick7950]

I’m always floored at how well all of the projects turn out !! Absolutely fantastic !!

[@patriciameyer9718]

Love the fire truck.The shade of red is rocking. 😻Hey kitty your the rock star.

[@lawrencereid9375]

What a beautiful finish your powder priming and wet sanding produce. And I'd swear the silver parts are polished. The powder paint on them is just incredibly good.

[@mollyhatchet7075]

I LOVE FORD C SERIES CAB OVER TRUCKS .SO THIS IS AWESOME .SO GLAD THERE IS SOMEONE DOING THIS AT THIS STATE OF THE ART LEVEL OF CRAFTSMANSHIP .

[@donaldswink6259]

Absolutely gorgeous Looking Truck. Love those C-Cab Ford trucks.

[@dalekrueger1175]

They built those cabs a long time

[@kjamison5951]

I see the sheep are getting safety hats now! Another fabulous restoration and the Catallion Chief giving the fire truck an inspection at the end was adorable!

[@paktoysreview8377]

doing good job friend

[@131dyana]

I enjoyed this rebuild. It s great. thank you. God bless.

[@The_Dudester]

Welcome back from the deep freeze!! Thanks for the resto on the fire engine, I am partial to fire engines. Back in the days of the "five and dime" toys like this would be left where kids could get their hands on them, so the fragile parts would already be broken off even though they were brand new.

[@Datrebor]

This restoration turned out beautifully done. Although the stickers seemed just a wee bit off. I love watching you used the sandblasting booth.

[@justa52dodgeman65]

Decals can be hard to get aligned. Water slide are easier to work with if you can get them for your project.

[@pennysnow9858]

My granddaughter and I love your work! And your sheep!😀 Our favorite is the one eyed sheep! So nice to see someone who does so meticulous work. Please keep sharing!

[@fabiogianotti5270]

Congratulation chip Channel the Fábio and Rafael from Brazil. The best restauration. Long life the chanel.

[@diecast_MikeEspo]

No one comes close . SOOO KOOOOOLLLL .

[@Vickie-Bligh]

Nicely done. Glad you thawed out.

[@davidparker2259]

Crazy how many little parts they put on that that would be broken off or lost in the first minute of play. Sick resto. Great job.

[@techman2471]

Another me?

[@tinydancer7426]

Your fleet of refurbished vehicles is just wow. WOW!

[@owdpotter]

You are the only restorer on youtube that tests for Lead paint before stripping , well done love your videos mate

[@markgoddard2560]

Chip Channel Stunt Sheep Team, performing cats, and a restoration! Just right for Sunday.

[@lisapino6739]

I absolutely loved the flick of the sheep. I was laughing 🤣🤣 Beautiful restoration of the fire truck. You do such amazing work bringing them back to life. Thanks for sharing your hobby with us.

[@theriley1976]

another superb restoration, is it only me that caught the fact that the hubcaps didn't line up with the molding on the wheel ? no matter its is a beautiful truck. the fact that it has survived this many years is absolutely amazing.

[@lst1194]

You now have a 3 truck fire department the Sheeple must feel safe.

[@YeahNo]

I’m concerned about the truck labelled “gasoline” and am really worried about the sheep. 😰

[@justinmcclanahan4745]

He's got 4 fire trucks 3 pampers & the ladder truck

[@LauraGarciayyqqqwjjwjw]

[@dominick7464]

Well done ! Once again, it is successful. 👍 Baa 🐑😉 to my taste, I would have seen the mirrors and the siren's horn with chrome paint.

[@iamthegreatpapyrus2905]

Was wondering if anyone else noticed it too

[@johnkaiser8410]

Very nicely done, my compliments! I got hooked on toy restoration by watching your channel. I have watched dozens of videos by many different presenters & I continue to be impressed by your quality of work, attention to detail, and various methods you use to create replacement parts. Thank you for the entertainment, very much enjoyed and appreciated! (the little sheep characters are a delightful addition!)

[@alexvillafuerte6726]

I am glad that the shop is open once again for business after those deathly cold temos. This restoration just like your other ones is phenomenal. I love the color of the fire engine. I laso love it thet it os modeled after a Ford CX-Series cabover truck. I have watched all of th restorations and I keep watching then againa nd again because I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the work that you do. I guess you love doing these restorations and it shows because every one of them os top notch. Keep up the fabulous work and I can't wait for your next resto

[@ЛарисаКопылова-с1х]

Какой у Вас уже грандиозный автопарк! Этот экземпляр достойное пополнение в коллекцию! 💜💚💙 А реставрация, как всегда, прошла на ура! Well done! 👏✨💛🍂

[@CoastalCrafterUK]

Smashing restoration. Exactly what I needed after spending hours building my website, creating my new logo ↖️ and deciding I don't like the new logo....lol. Thank you for relieving my pain!

[@jonfarrell9053]

Ive seen a lot of restoration channels and yours by far is the best.

[@svipace8220]

Great restoration and lovely kitty. Thank you.

[@Cherbear1565]

I absolutely love the little lambmie stories; need more of them. And you do a great job on the things you work on.

[@donladpowers3078]

You do a terrific job on all your restorations. These vehicles bring back a lot of old great memories thank you for all you do

[@randystone6781]

Love your restorations! I'm especially fond of the old Structo vehicles. ☮️

[@rosiepollard2478]

Wonderful restoration as always. I love the sheep too 🐑🐑

[@dipakrn5230]

[@williampalenik7306]

Another good paint job on that fire truck !!!

[@charlottemoga9407]

Love watching the restorations but also the 🐑 sheep.🥰

[@charitybrown4274]

Awesome job, you do amazing work!! 👍😁

[@janeordway4841]

Great job. The only thing I’d do Differently is the mirrors and Airhorns in a Crome or silver.

[@tmscheum]

Look forward to seeing that on your channel! Where is it?

[@beartooth8865]

Trying to stay as close to original as possible. Not a custom. It's a restoration.

[@jbravo237]

@@tmscheum lol

[@dipakrn5230]

The plastic parts might be part of original equipment, but they should've been chromed. Otherwise the look is fine. (Completely understanding that it's a restoration)!

[@shawnwright4129]

I love the sheep, as usual. I think my granddad had a screw driver like you were using at 3:01, with the pocket clip. Excellent restore. Always look forward to yours.

[@TheVineyardFarmhouse]

I have watched most of your videos. You have inspired me to start my own channel. It’s been slow moving but I am enjoying the journey. Thank you very much.

[@BEARBAIT5000]

Csnt wait to see the roll back I had one when i was a kid its long gone now though sadly. Awesome work. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@justinmcclanahan4745]

I've been waiting to see that one also but nothing

[@Roberto231973]

Very nice this restoration Chip fantastic Again! Loving it!

[@HawthorneHillNaturePreserve]

I love your work and how much of a perfectionist you are!

[@evelynhouston236]

Love the fire trucks and the cat that shows up for a snack. 👍🏾❤❤😊

[@joemode101]

Great work on this one truck came out beautiful 👍🏼

[@charleswilson9156]

Well Chip, I have watched everyone of your videos, and I am amazed at your work. Love the effort and details you put into your hobby. I restore antique and vintage wood working tools and then use them in my shop, but no videos. Keep up the great work.

[@Tim-57]

Hey Chip Love Firetrucks and this restoration did not disappoint in any way.🙂

[@larryweaver5667]

The only things you should've added is a beacon on the roof and a fire department decal on the cab doors. It is very nicely done Sir.

[@judywalker2849]

You are so bad treating the sheep that way, I'm calling PETA 😂🤣😂🤣😂 These videos are so enjoyable and I appreciate the meticulous work you do to restore the vehicles.

[@edwardhoyenski68]

Another great vid. I'm really impressed how wonderful you make them look when done. And yes, still love the sheep. LONG LIVE CYCLOPEEP!

[@raymondswarmer1433]

Sort of reminds me of the old Ford F900 cab over tanker truck my volunteer fire department had years ago. It was a converted milk truck and carried 500 gallons of water.

[@FlyboyUS]

Good to see you back.

[@thechronic6708]

It will be so cool if you resore an ambulance to load the sheep after the accident 😁, i just came across your channel and cant stop watching, good craftsmanship

[@luciecomeau67]

Just wow, I really like your work, but I adore the misadventures of the little sheep hahaha

[@moonlitegirl72]

It made me laugh when he flicked that one out of the back and I always love it when he put I'm okay next to the sheep

[@vernabink2865]

Excellent restoration, as usual. The chrome powder paint is great.

[@johnmay371]

Another great chip restoration. Great job great video👍

[@micampustecnologico]

Chavez no dead!

[@donnasheraden3881]

Looks brand new!!!

[@samanthadean1083]

Fantastic restoration!!! Though I think the quality of the Tonka’s were better than the Structos!!!

[@WHJeffB]

Another fabulous restoration! I have to say, the "chrome" powder coat you use looks really good. Definitely saves time by not having to polish the metal components, plating them, then polishing again. A lot of your restorations are easily "better than new". Though in the classic car restoration realm, they'd label them as "over restoration" because you're powder coating instead of painting. What you're doing is fantastic though, keep up the great work!

[@donaldfranklin5391]

Great job on the restoration and great video

[@stevenkeegan6260]

Another beauty! Wow!

[@ANKCreative]

I like fire truck 😊

[@mildredking5947]

Awesome job. I enjoy watching your video’s. Thankyou for sharing.

[@martinvs6415]

When is your museum of forgotten and broken boys dreams opening. You should have enough trucks and cars to fill at least one floor. Nice job Chip. This is one subscription I would never let expire. Bring on the next restoration video!!

[@coldcountess]

Beautiful fire truck !!

[@brazillady5119]

The sheep are still my favorite part. Nonetheless, I love watching the restoration. You’re amazing. As is the kitty. Does the kitty ever steal the sheep?

[@dipakrn5230]

Naa, Beaker the Kitty is only there for admiring the Trucks & to nibble on the Whiskas Cat snack!!!😼

[@kirkjohnson8589]

Awesome Job Chip !

[@grindinggears43]

Thank you for the awesome content I watch every night before bed. Also love the sheep!👍

[@geo2cv6tron14]

Another fire truck 🚒 but with an another style, nice 👍

[@dolrr54]

Are you OK buddy? Haven't see much activity on your channel lately. Hope all is good with you. I miss your beautiful work. Hope to see more soon and I just want to thank you for helping to keep me sain through this pandemic. Take care buddy!

[@SteveMikre44]

I hope you and your family a doing well and the weather has improved...

[@caroltanzi29]

Just love, love it. Nothing like a toy fire engine!

[@facesavage7815]

You be doing a good job at that type of stuff

[@hervebecker7807]

Very nice job 😀👍

[@jbravo237]

I was surprised you didn't remove the hose reel mount. I'm so used to total deconstruction from you. I guess the rivets would have been too difficult to place back in. 😎

[@jeanmariedu5914]

Résultat impeccable.

[@gregwright392]

Well done as usual!

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you , Chip .

[@LuisVazquez-hx3bk]

I seen others using the sun as a source of UV light to whiten yellowed plastic.

The sun is good, but in the winter it is not as steady as a u-v light!

[@StudioPluche]

The magician strikes again.

[@janareeves7482]

Amazing restoration, as always! I promise that if you make "I'm OK" sheep merch, I will buy some.

[@leegoldeneagle9003]

Love it so cool 😎 love your work 😘 nice 👍 as always Lee

[@johnds6621]

Interesting Structo wasted there time with windshield wipers but didn't put any red signal lights on the fire truck. Nice job.

[@kamimiller1193]

I feel like the car pile at the beginning is getting smaller. That means less cars to make better. That means less content. We need to find this man some rusty cars!

[@anthonyfiore8917]

That is an amazing collection first-rate work

[@justinweaver8787]

The ol gasoline truck is very cool

[@jackbarncord5508]

In 1984 I worked for Modern Plating Corp, They owned the old Structo plant. On the south side of the property was a three story building and on one of the floors was a chalk board with the days production goals of various models of toys. Sadly the building was not maintained and eventually the company had it torn down. It was a beautiful structure with 3" by 12" floor joist on 12" centers, diagonal laid tongue and groove flooring three layers thick. There was a freight elevator that carried product and the occasional forklift.

[@dbrandon4528]

So glad that you use real toys that need restoration instead of destroying one to pretend restore

[@bigmanmoto9897]

Nice work. Love the shot of the collection at the end. I envision the people who put the truck together as I watch you reassemble it. Makes me want to see if my parents ha e any of my old Tonka toys!

[@iseespots6014]

Loved it great restoration.

[@Archiemonty]

Next week is gonna be a real GAS! good thing there are a few fire trucks on standby 😊
