TOTALLY AGREE!!!

I’m just an old guy that fixes junk in my shop but has done a lot of restoration in building. I like breathing in life into discarded junk. I have to say you do a great job make everything functional and looking like it came right off the shelf. Great job on you channel, I’m looking forward to watching.

Tonka toys were what most of us played with back in the day (early 70's), because they were built tough, rugged, and made to last! Always enjoy the detailed work and the final touches of said detail with the sticker placements at the end! Another great job, keep 'em coming, and as always thanks for sharing your work!

[@RebuiltRestored]

Agreed, the older toys were built well! Thanks! Appreciate the support and the kind words!

[@Beenthere5409]

I normally don’t care too much for the paid/sponsored ads, but that one was very interesting. Looks like a great desk. I guess you guys do need to make extra money too. Great vid! Keep ‘em coming.

[@RebuiltRestored]

I appreciate you! Thanks for watching! Ps. Very happy with the desk!

[@HeyDude93gt]

I remember those early 80's Tonka construction toys. wish I still had them

[@marchills4131]

When I see you lavishing such love and care to restore these old toys, I sometimes think of the hours of happiness spent by some little boy or girl playing with them. Perhaps a series of little boys and girls over the decades. And that a part of those children somehow lingers in these inanimate objects. An echo of someone's childhood joy and imagination burnished in that old metal, plastic and rubber. I choose to believe that in the hereafter, those same children who touched and loved these toys will somehow be connected to your efforts and come to know what you've done.

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thanks much! Thank you for sharing.

[@locutus842]

As always... excellent work! Your work is very calming to my busy mind. I spend long hours at work restoring rental equipment and I can relate to the importance of paying attention to details. Well done 👍🏼 my friend!

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thanks for watching, it's nice to know I'm not the only one who enjoys the details!

[@GuyHorses]

WOW!!! Awesome job! Wish I hadn't given up my Tonka truck and horse trailer. Thanks for sharing.

[@karltork6040]

That was amazing! I love seeing a loved toy bought back to life. Had a "Tonka" International Scout in the 60's, wish I could find another one in my 60's. Glad I found this channel, just subscribed.

Thank you for subscribing! I do appreciate it! Have a great weekend!

[@jhonsiders6077]

Not the Steelers. It’s the steel producers assoc. symbol it was modified a bit for the ball team . I find the powder coat primer fills all but the deepest pitting now you just need to find the super rare boat and trailer for that camper !

Where in the world did you get new side windows from? Tonka actually sells these? Seems they would be obsolete.

[@keithhall4009]

I found them on eBay. Thanks for asking!

[@Jaybird-oj4rj]

My brother had the same toy. It was hand me down. I played with it in the sandbox and that’s what ruined it.

[@RebuiltRestored]

That’s awesome! That’s what toys are for! 😁

[@richardstone5241]

I like to work on things and have been recently designing a workshop. What sandblaster do you use and what is your set-up for the baked on paint? Other tools you use and maybe recommend? My work tables are in the works (I'm building them myself).

[@RebuiltRestored]

The sandblaster is a Grizzly g0707. For my oven I use a small counter top style food oven. I also use a regular electric cooking oven if I need bigger. I would like to upgrade the oven to a modified smoking cabinet soon. I will say, I’m not very impressed with Harbor Freight powder coating system. It works but can be extremely annoying. I would like to upgrade this soon as well.

[@Austeration]

*Impressive job 👍 was that a bat that flew out the door when you started. Very cool desk. I think that will come in very handy. The finished project looks like new*

[@RebuiltRestored]

15:04 *SUPERB RESTORATION!* The only thing that might get in the way is that annoying rubbing sound, reminiscent of someone scraping a chalkboard with a fork-it definitely took away from the experience. I hope that for the next event, a cloth will be used to rub on the decal instead of rubber gloves. Can't wait to see the improvements! 👍🏼

[@zakspop]

Just a quick question. Why do you use JB Weld instead of body filler.

[@Beenthere5409]

I’m guessing because of the high heat needed for powder coating.

[@RebuiltRestored]

Yes, JB Weld will withstand high temps need for powder coating.

[@zakspop]

[@donaldhollums3278]

Therapeutic! I like how Tonka and other metal toy manufacturers used metal rivets and metal tabs to bend and help hold the pieces together better to make the toys last. A far cry from the disposable toys of today made of plastic and held together by glue or cheap tiny screws. Romans 8:1.

[@RebuiltRestored]

You’re right, it’s amazing how well made toys used to be! Thanks for the comment! God bless!

@:020 That is the logo for United States Steel. The Pittsburgh Steelers adopted it. The only difference between them is one says "Steel" and the other "Steelers".

[@richardbonner2354]

Right on, Shawn ; That's the corporate logo for US Steel. The Steel Workers from the Steel City o' Pittsburgh made LOTs o' steel for stuff... includin' the steel used to make this and millions o' other Tonka Toy trucks. ReBuilt and ReStored, This is anOther One o' the relics from days gone by... that You've -- by God! -- reDEEMed. It's a lil' wee bit like those "... glorified bodies..." spoken of in The Good Book... ; on outward appearance, looks more wonderFul than the 'Original'. Great (Light!) Work, Friend..., as per... Your 'usual' Work. 🙂 Rick Bonner Pennsyltuck Pos' Scrip': I Love the lil' "tips" You demonstrate..., like placing a decal -- preCISEly! -- with the point of a razor before attaching it, and 'protecting' the jaggedy end of a pair o' needle-nose with some soft tape before twistin' an' crimpin' / crampin' / burnishin' the painted steel tabs. You've learned a lot... and a Lot o' Us are pickin' up on Yer "mastery". Thanks.
