1961 Tonka Rescue Squad Ambulance Restoration

[@TheFabrik]

Amazing !!! Once again... great job 🙌🙌🙌 Poor sheep 🥲😄

[@silverss396chevelle]

I am a retired EMT and I absolutely loved this restore. It took me a minute to figure out the CD on the doors. That is definitely something that you do not see anymore. In the basement of our ambulance barn we had 6 30 gallon drums of water that was made in the 1960s and would not expire until 2020. I tried to aquire one of them but I did not have the opportunity to remove one. Thank you for celebrating EMS with the 4th of July. EMTs are certainly forgotten at times - if you see one thank them. Just remember that the things they do come back in their dreams, and they see people on the worst day of their Ives.

[@Kasey1776]

I agree. Being a warning siren enthusiast it’s really crazy to see a CD logo on something else that’s not a siren.

[@warphammer]

@@Kasey1776 The logo was often put on vehicles that were to be used as part of Civil Defense efforts. Ambulances, mail vehicles, even utility trucks would get the marking. In some places you'd actually have rescue squads with an affiliation to the local Civil Defense organization and they'd be marked something like this truck.

[@Kasey1776]

I know, that’s why I said that.

[@HomerInNC]

Years ago, I was a security guard and in the basement of the mall I was a guard that they had a old civil defense shelter. And there they had the 50 barrel drums for the water that you mentioned plus they had pallets of the survival rations which were basically crackers you would find in an MRE

[@Kasey1776]

@@HomerInNC WOAH! That's awesome!

[@sheilahperry-rosales8748]

The magic of sandblasting gets me every time.

[@brettkarloff5235]

Try heating the tabs. Heat gun probably. Don't burn the paint. That goes without saying. Love your seed company screw driver

[@ThePandionknight]

Why is watching sand blasting so satisfying?

[@redfishtex738]

Tetanus was rampant in that vehicle. Great job!

[@meniego2659]

The short story of the sheep is super!!!

[@neinkalando2519]

When I watch other toy restoration videos I learned to appreciate your videos

[@jeet150986]

Loves the video...especially last part....hope the sheep is fine now....

[@geo2cv868]

You managed to cure this patient with very rusty disease, great job !

[@spektrum33]

Ahhhh a mutant one eyed sheep 😩 great restoration thou 😉

[@brianartillery]

Brilliant restoration there. A very handsome vehicle - I love all of Tonka's classic trucks - not easy to get in the UK - I never knew one other kid who had one in the mid 1960's. I had one of the basic pick up trucks, which was given to me by an uncle who was in the Merchant Navy, and that was played with to it's death (possibly by fireworks) many years later. I do like the Civil Defence markings on this. The year after it's release, the cold war got considerably warmer. Thank you for sharing. Nice one. 👍👍👍

[@annettemalaski1967]

Marvelous work on this rusty public servant! Tales of a bygone era! Better PSA on the perils of firecrackers, the rescue put the sheep back into shape. It's a shame yo

[@annettemalaski1967]

It's a shame you have to bribe Beaker to be in the video!

[@jamescalifornia2964]

👌 A complete restoration and total transformation. Ready for service ... 🚨

[@Sal-xi9qq]

Making the rim was totally unexpected. Wow!

[@mauricioperez7328]

Congratulattions. And if your cat is agree every thing it is all right. Never stops dreamer and playing.

[@nene2bad613]

Poor little sheep!!! Great job.

[@fabiogianotti5270]

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

[@arlenmoralesrios.5812]

My Favorite Channel for car restoration on a scale great creativity and skill

[@belindarrr]

For your cracking paint issue, the paint is needing to be incredibly flexible, so I would look into two details: surface prep/paint adhesion and paint compound. For the first one, maybe an adhesion promoter or an etching primer would make the powder coat fuse with the metal better. And for the second, the powder coat in that area seems quite thick. I know nothing about powder coating, but maybe see if there are other kinds of powder that allow some flexibility. Hope this helps! Amazing restoration!

[@samadkins843]

you did a great job restoring the ambulance.

[@joannefamelio5615]

That sandblasted has to take off lots of time sanding off that rust!!! Great job restoring all these old tonka Trucks!!

[@pebblesthecat3625]

The various ways you remove the sheep from the trucks always amuses me.

[@dianenestor577]

Please don’t deprive me of the sand blasting process!! My favorite part. I’d love you to consider doing a compilation video of all sandblasting! Please!

[@mrboompi6756]

I like that too, and I'm always surprised how well these old metal parts clean up!

Poor Jack! Just minding his own business, chillin’ in the cab, and then ruthlessly poked in the eye and spun out! You be nice to him! He’s ... special!

Wish I grew up with these even the boat and ladder idea with the straps just awesome!

I wish that mountain of rusty goodness never ends!

[@robingaffner8044]

SO CUTE TO WATCH GROWN MEN PLAY WITH THIER TOYS..LOL

[@fasinfata]

Wow. You're slowly restoring the whole Tonka catalog!

[@donsmith7722]

I love watching every one of these. Love your cat and sheep too.

[@deniseboldea1624]

Ya startled me a bit, I didn't think that the firework next to the sheep was real until you lit it, good thing junkyard sheep are tough. Have a Happy 4th of July everyone.

[@iulianalexe1666]

Greettings from Romania 👍👍👍👍

[@Farm_fab]

Great choice of replacing the 1/4" screw with a stainless steel one. No more rust issue!

[@shawnwright4129]

Well, that's a different way of removing a sheep! Poor 4th of July sheep had a firecrackin' good time!

[@udorechner6846]

Awesome restoration! The rescue truck looks better than new... Don't harm the sheeps!

[@paulchapman1175]

Well done on restoring the ambulance From paul chapman at east sheen

[@fabianaruiz913]

Me encanta ver como sale la pintura, es antiestres 😁! Felicitaciones es una maravillosa restauración !!

[@stegosteg5247]

Never worked with powder coat before so I don't know what the physical qualities are like with what you're using. Try a range of low heats progressively getting hotter to see if the paint can regain some flexibility when bent. Maybe also try pressing the tabs into place with smooth pressure after heating instead of tapping into place which gives fluctuations in downwards force and not consistent. Love this channel, it's so very relaxing to watch the silence at work!

[@mikemaupin4507]

You had me worried when you removed the sheet metal screw from the siren and put it in the rust remover, but you came through at the end and properly installed a machine screw. Gave me flash backs when I owned apartment buildings or worked in maintenance, lol.

[@georgeshelton6281]

It's good that you were more specific at that time; about what year this iron/tin toy ambulance, was first created. Not just the company that owned it. I'm so glad you brought it back to life.☺😊😌

[@roccovolpendesta7032]

Power coat the tabs bent than carefully straighten just enough to fit the slots, then rebend. Should held with the cranking. Keep up the good work 👏

[@danialb52]

I remember receiving so many of these Tonka Toys for my birthday and Christmas. I absolutely love watching you totally restore them. Thank you.

[@mouseperformance6852]

To prevent the powder coat from cracking, you could try heating it before bending the tabs with a heat gun or similar. might be enough to soften it first. Love your videos, keep up the good work.

[@brazillady5119]

So relieved the sheep is ok. Pets to Beaker.

[@theropesofrenovation9352]

I remember in the 70's, nurses rode on the ambulance. I decided then to become a nurse so I could ride in an ambulance.. By the time I was college age, nurses didn't ride in the ambulances anymore. Dang it! lol Great job!!

[@Redpass63]

Min 30:20. The metal breaks because it is "cooked" (too olded). It is sufficient to warm it up before open it during the dismantling. Job well done! 😉

This is again a wonderful restoration! As for the cracking of the paint. Perhaps the powder paint manufacturer has a answer to this.

[@carolcurtis2220]

Great job as usual. Would you please show at least one piece completely sandblasted on both sides?

[@tinydancer7426]

Yes, please. There is something so satisfying about the sandblasting on this channel.

[@carlotana]

That poor little thing.. it was blasted away! 😀😀😀😀😀 I like the funny side of it every time you spunk that little stuff... But seriously, I've been watching your uploaded videos quite a while and I find it amusing and entertaining. I can't imagine all the toils, patience and efforts you have shared in restoring such vintage toys. 😊👍

Like the vid. Even b4 watching it! Replacement rear door and front screen.

I guess the exploding sheep at the end was what Johnny Carson had in mind with the infamous "Siss-boom-baa" joke in the Carnac the Magnificent sketch from the early 1980's. Happy 4th of July!

Much better!!! Great job!!!

[@markebedwell4360]

Good thing rescue was nearby.

[@awizardalso]

My real name is Michael McCluskey. We have two cats and one looks like yours. I like watching people restore things. I just subscribed to your channel and hit the 'All' bell.

[@martinvs6415]

No sheep were injured in this episode. Trick photography was used extensively. Along with some glue and new eyeballs. That was the zaniest ending ever!!! Chip Channel does it again with a beeeee -uuuu-teee-ful restoration of a rescue vehicle. The great thing about finishing this vehicle when you did, is that it was needed immediately to rescue a victim of careless use of explosives. Who lit that thing anyway??? He was in baaaa-d shape though.
