Restomod - Tonka Makeover

[@tommydanger2564]

My 3yo son and I love watching your videos together. He asks me questions all the way through. Love it!

[@97civ]

Looks good but I'm not a fan of mismatched bed . The first paint looked better

[@labdogman3335]

Great job. Looks better than new. I love the cheering for the sandblaster....cracks me up. I too like watching the sandblaster... I could watch that all day. Don't know why....just so satisfying to watch.

[@Sgt_Kilborn]

I don't care what anyone says, this thing is cool as hell. It would have been my favorite toy if I'd had it as a kid

[@sharoncrotinger8939]

Love all the attention this old vehicles get. Thanks

[@spencerwasem9112]

First time watching. My son and I are impressed. He wants me to try it sometime lol.

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Thanks! Give it a try!

[@tomstiveson1313]

Loved the sound effects, especially the bird 🤣. Beautiful work once again. How many of us out there are salivating at the opportunity to have the fabrication skills you possess? I’m a former aircraft mechanic, so I can especially appreciate the sheet metal work, the sandblasting skills, the rivet process, the ability to compensate, and so on. The only process in need of refinement is the anti-corrosion implementation process. With a little ingenuity, determination and skill, there isn’t much one can’t do. You’re site is a nice place to visit for a splendid opportunity to escape from the hardships in life. Congratulations and keep them coming. I’m always looking for an opportunity to escape reality for a few minutes in this crazy world of ours. To me this is raw entertainment at its best.

[@William_Borgeson]

Nicely done, I didn't think I'd like the green but with the black to contrast it it's sweet looking! Thanks for sharing!

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Thanks! Wasn't my original vision, but I like the way it ended up

[@OliverWendellBones]

Plan B's are incredible when they turn out. Awesome job on this!

[@worldofradiocontrol10]

Has a big mopar vibe to it. I liked it.

[@selenew1242]

This is the second of your videos I have watched. I can see all the love and care you put into each piece. It gives me hope. Thank you for sharing.

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

Absolutely awesome Restomod restoration Tonka Truck !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Two thumbs way up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@johnarmenta2199]

I LOVE these video's because of "eeeYAAAAY!!!" on the sandblaster - LOL Edit: Excellent build!! Thank you so much for sharing. It is such a pleasure watching your videos.

[@sunnyhu4855]

This is wonderful. You give these wonderful toys a second live. And they look very good after you refurbish them.

[@grahampickering1560]

When you put the custom light bezels on, I thought there's no way you're not put LED lights in them! Awesome job Tim 🙂

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Thanks! You can buy so many cool things for them, definitely more customs coming!

[@superboats2]

@@TRGRESTORATIONS Cool! I like to see what upgrades you'll do. Whenever I'd do a custom job on something old, I like to call it, "Bringing it into the 21st century". Well done.

[@Anne_Frank00]

Shorter stacks would look better, like in line with the cab.

[@marcosdelossantos1308]

Yap. Or maybe a little bit above the roof would’ve looked good too.

[@33fastcar]

A kid will be able to poke both eyes out at the same time. Brilliant!

[@lv2xlr8NOW]

Man, I'd like to have it as is. It beautiful. I build models like that on purpose. Thanks to all the great products today. Cool truck

[@nomadmike2677]

I've seen other restorers use simple green or oxy clean on the plastic parts.. breaks up the rust stains pretty good... love the custom touches.. nice job 👍

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@jonesyak]

I understand it’s easy to armchair pint out mistakes, but with all the work your doin, I was wondering why you didn’t paint the bed liner parts separately before screwing them together? I figure you know it’s going to rust but if you even apply just a coat of promise between those parts it’ll last longer. Good job sir.

[@КошмарКошмар-й2б]

Hi TRG 👋👋👋 good to see you 🤝🤝🤝awesome restoration car👍💣👌🏽good design 🔥👍✌🏻

[@ACowGirlFan]

Well done restoration. Really like the addition of the working head and tail lights and adding the instrumentation to the dash board that it didn't come with originally.

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Thanks! Tried to add as many extras as I could imagine.

[@jeffheyman8537]

Enjoyed the restoration process but the mismatched bed and cab makes it look like billy sues truck from down the holler. Otherwise great work.

[@beltfed4624]

Some guys are "Do It Right Donny" some guys are "Buy It With Dads Money Chad" and some guys are "Billy Sue From Down The Holler" LOL 😄

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Thanks for the info

[@modergav]

got the same vibe. that's why i thought it was awesome

[@billyjoe3685]

I sued who?

[@azimaz5483]

Ya.. why can’t leave it original no mismatched colors or whatever

[@chandarussell]

Nicely done. I like all your toys too especially the sand blaster. I also liked all the birds you could hear singing in the background.

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Thank you 🤗

[@kathleenwarner8700]

Black pinstriping on the front would tie the colors together quite nicely. Fun video!

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@dr.skipkazarian5556]

When you put "pimped" in the title, I was expecting chopped and channeled, Lake Pipes, dished rims, and a raked front end....excellent work! Best wishes and stay healthy my brother.

[@Munky83Nut]

I was expecting a swimming pool in the tray and TVs underneath the cab.

[@humacao01]

Wow it turned out awesome with that color combination.

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@kevinkeech7906]

Every time you show the sand blaster and all little kids cheer it always cracks me up and makes me laugh

[@philippebenz2643]

Puts a smile to my face too as it is my favorite machine from these restoration channels.

[@ritalowrie1296]

What a beautiful truck it’s turned out to be. Well done 👍

Seriously nice. I love this build.

[@johnzeller1338]

[@deepukm4654]

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

[@williamharris8367]

The mini paint shaker is awesome! I had no idea that such a thing existed.

[@wadehendryx7378]

Very nice! I like that you left the Black Walls. This is a truck I wouldn't mind driving. Great job. Stay safe and healthy. Have a great weekend. Well at least what's left of it.

[@charljulie5401]

Brilliant, enjoyed this episode. Hope it becomes a regular series on your channel. Love restomods. Keep up the good work.

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

More to come!

[@FrankKnight8846]

That's awesome. I love it. You would make a kid so happy 😁

[@lastmanstanding1767]

Now that's bad ass. The only thing I would've changed is maybe paint the fender flares. That's just me. I love it.

[@automotiverenderings]

that's a cool idea

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

Thanks for keeping the videos flowing through tough times..

[@smokedchedda1421]

I'm curious as to why you didn't fix the rust pitting

[@Jaredsfarm]

I like the mix-matched paint on it. It's more realistic if you ask me, old trucks like this usually have different colors on em 🤷‍♂️

[@Popeye64]

I love it.Brilliant

[@maxkoll118]

Masterpiece ! Great custom .

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Thank you very much!

[@Hoonozit]

That's a strong well built toy. I'm sure this is going to be looking nice when done.

[@robewalk2]

A truck worthy of having your logo on the dash Tim. Great restore, I love the color scheme, dual stacks and chrome wheels. And lights!! I'm guessing with your obvious craftsmanship and specialized tools this is much more than a hobby. I wish I could discover a rare "barn" find to have you restore it. You and yours stay safe, I look forward to your next restore and cheers from Tennessee.👍❤️😷🍻👍

[@elfowl6873]

GREAT JOB, TRG!!!!!! brand new beautiful truck!!!

[@williamharris8367]

Was this once a tow truck? I had a large Tonka tow truck with an orange body, and this reminds me of it. If memory serves, it had two cranes.

[@MikeL-FL]

Is something wrong with your blaster? Maybe clogged? Wrong pressure or media? It didn’t do a great job with the rust this time. 😕

[@codyohara2027]

Sometimes the rust eats really deep into the metal and leaves the metal deformed and to try blast all of it off leaves a big dent lol

Wow awesome love the color 👍👍👍👍

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Assorted12]

Great work! My style only...I would have left the exterior all green. Paint the inside of bed (like bedliner) and interior black. Painting the tonka on the tires white would look good. White also makes a great accent color (for stripes) for this type of green. Great work sir.

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Thanks for watching!

[@CMonster0125]

kills me that you didn't paint the "Tonka" on the tires white
