1970s Tonka Concrete Mixer Truck Restoration Vintage

In this restoration video, I restore a vintage Tonka Concrete Mixer truck. The Truck was given to me and it made for an awesome restoration. Thanks for watching! I appreciate the view!
Restoration Process
I dismantled the truck and then gave some of the parts a quick wash. Then I sandblasted the painted parts before powder coating. As you can see in the video, i applied too much powder coating to some of the parts and had to brush them off and restart. The red powder coat really turned out nice and bright. I whitened the plastic parts by using a homemade whitening solution and then placing them in the sun for about 5 hours. I buffed the windshield with some plastic buffing compound called Plastx. The tires were clean with soap and water and then shined with Armor-all. The concrete shoot had to be repaired due to myself knocking it on the floor and breaking it.....
I think this restoration turned out amazing. I hope you enjoyed the video!

What's the powder you are using to fix the broken plastic part around 6 minutes?

[@RebuiltRestored]

Baking powder and superglue. Don’t tell anyone...... 😉

[@Castleknight]

How much did that rivet tool cost?

[@RebuiltRestored]

That tool was a little over $100 usd

[@Waynesbusinesschanne]

Yes they are expensive but they look so handy! Last time I looked for one I could only find it for $175 US

[@menscraft7985]

Hi, tell me where did you buy the manual rivet clamp?

[@RebuiltRestored]

Hello! I can tell you where to get it. Will you give me a shout out on your channel? 😉
