Nice Job, I'm glad to see that Tonka hasn't tried to cut corners like other companies and incorporate more plastic into thier products. That's most likely why it survived being left out in the elements for close to 30 years.

If you have not done so, check out the "Rescue and Restore" channel. He is the master of the method. I know you are a new channel and probably can not invest in "stuff" right now. Consider a sand blasting box. Sanding removes metal. Do only as a last resort or for polishing. The paint job is nice but will never last like a baked on powder coat. So, a powder coat system and oven to bake it on should be on your list. On the other hand, you have "fantastic plastic". All the plastic has luster and sheen. The tires are probably better than new, and often overlooked in the restoration process. Great job.

They go where the food is, and if there is a food source in my house, I want them around. They take care of all the truly nasty bugs that I have no sympathy for whatsoever. :D
