Fire Truck Pedal Car Restoration

[@JamesJohnson-ok1hn]

i had that very truck, i also came w 2 wooden ladders that went on the side racks. wow i never thought id ever see that type of toy ever again. thx for saving it.

I had a Ford Fairlane pedal car my parents bought for me at a Western Auto Hardware Store when I was about four or five years old. Same design as this, minus the fire engine accoutrements. It was a mint green color. They had eight mm home movies of me pedaling around in that car. I was one happy camper! 😃 Rode around in it so much my dad had to replace the tires. He mounted the new ones by heating them in near boiling water to make them pliable enough to mount. We ended up donating it to our church nursery when I outgrew it. I am sixty-two now.

Great job!👍

[@Kammy44]

My brother had a sky blue peddle car that was so much like this. We played with that car forever. I think you did an amazing job with the truck, especially considering all of the scratches and dents on the surface. Love your work!

[@ronwolff5973]

I had that very same car , it also had ladders and a bell on the hood I’m 63 years old now

[@billclement2660]

Ditto, still have bugs Bunny but no firetruck, wore the pintle bearings out

[@BOMReviews]

Awesome, did you have a light too? If so, do you recall what it looked like?

[@wazzazone]

Great effort well done.

[@shawnataylor7998]

Beautiful job!

[@philliphoward7455]

I am not a body man or an expert but I feel that more surface preparation would have produced a better final finish. Don't take my criticism too harshly. I applaud your effort and you saved a nice piece of history.

[@kay-vo6cs]

I love this!!!

[@jfrankcarr]

I had one of those when I was a kid. I got it on Christmas when I was about 3 years old. (Yes, I'm ancient.)

[@BOMReviews]

Lol, we used to have a whole parkway chalked out - fun times.

Nice restoration 😍😍

[@BOMReviews]

Thank you very much!

[@larrynason8716]

I'm a recently retired auto body tech of 50 years. This paint job made me cringe. Having said that I do appreciate the effort.We all start out at the same place.

[@VenoxVixen]

I have one that needs redoing would you be willing to do another one?

[@lunagutierrez]

Increíble restauración buen trabajo😍

[@Willrabuntrumpet]

Fun restoration! Looks like you could increase your air pressure, or thin your paint more for better atomization. This would cause less texture (orange peel) in your paint.

[@greggabel7238]

It looks like a Plymouth!

[@georgemartinezjr]

What did you use to luberciate all moving parts with

Saludos, hermoso. Dios le bendiga

[@BOMReviews]

Agradezco que te hayas tomado el tiempo de dejar vibraciones positivas.

[@zoraidaarguinzoni3366]

Hola, siempre, soy cristiana. Dios le continué bendiciendo

[@artgonzalez8822]

I was hoping you were gonna color sand the body do to the orange peel

[@joelcazares4852]

Where do you buy the replacement tires

[@bigmoneylove_27]

[@BOMReviews]

Glad you like them!

[@pofrof4910]

I don't know. There are a couple of suspicious things. 🔎

He should have made the headlights to work, as he made a flashing red light.

[@BOMReviews]

I definitely thought about it. But this restoration had already stretched on for almost 2 years due to some "life interruptions."

[@gingerfox5605]

Почему именно пудра? Это самый удобный способ окрашивания?

[@BOMReviews]

Порошковая окраска была нанесена на нижнюю часть механики, колпаки, рули и держатели лестниц, потому что порошок более долговечен, чем краска, а эта игрушка предназначена для использования. Спасибо!

[@gingerfox5605]

@@BOMReviews Спасибо за ответ♥️

[@dankamosna2870]

Kopa kvalitnej renovatorskej prace, az na tu pripravu karoserie pod lak a tym padom nekvalitna konecna povrchova uprava ...

[@cmason5203]

Perhaps you sould take up wood working.

[@Kammy44]

Why so mean? When's the last time you restored anything?

[@PatriciaGatto]

bad painting...

[@IONUTOPRESCU-sn9if]

[@waynethacker7145]

Bad paint job

[@webtoedman]

Not easy to do a good job on panels that were made as cheaply as possible. Full size vehicle panels back in the '50s/'60s needed a lot of massaging before painting.
