Ford Model Car Restoration -1957 Tonka State Highway Truck

Restoration of 1957 Tonka State Hi-Way Department Truck. I bought it online for $95.00 with shipping coming to $20.80. It came from Missouri and I was very happy with it. The condition it was in made it prefect for a restoration project. Enjoy, and Happy New Year!!!

Awesome job on this truck! I love these old Tonka trucks, I actually just finished restoring one over on my channel!

[@CoolRestorations]

Thank you!👍🏻

[@raylt7]

Are there books on how to do this hobby and where to buy parts needed when needed? THANK YOU

[@CoolRestorations]

Ebay or gasoline ally. Alot of videos that can show how :)

[@larryweaver1530]

I love your work. It's amazing what you can do with basically a pile of rust and transform it into a beautiful piece of art. How would I contact you about some work for me? I build 1/18 scale police cars 🚔 and Wildlife trucks for friends who are retired. I can do most everything on them but I'm having problems with getting a good paint 🎨 job on some of my builds. If I were to send you some would you be willing to do the paint? I would have them completely dismantled so all you'd have is the body to paint. Whatever you charge would be worth it to me. Thank you.

[@CoolRestorations]

Hello, thank you so much! I'm really not a painting professional but I have learned to do pretty good job with just rattle cans. Its matters alot how well you do the preparing everything before you paint. To have good primer and to wet sand it. Also sometimes you have to warm up the paint before painting 👍

Nice 🙂

[@irenilsonvalente6074]

Did Tonka launch this model 1 year later in 1957 or when it was manufactured by Ford in 1956?

[@CoolRestorations]

@@irenilsonvalente6074 Maybe because this model was from 1957

[@brianchisnell1548]

Wonder why you put a 55 grill in a '57

[@CoolRestorations]

New one didnt come in time, put on what I had at home, and I think 55 grill looks better 👍🏻 Thanks for watching Brian!

[@BigSkyModelWorkshop]

Nice work. May I ask, why the 54-56 grill and headlights instead of the 57?

[@CoolRestorations]

The new once I ordered didnt come in time put on what I had home :-)

[@BigSkyModelWorkshop]

@@CoolRestorations makes sense. It actually looks good on there.

[@CoolRestorations]

@@BigSkyModelWorkshop Thank you!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Did it not have a windscreen?
