A very good job on cleaning and fixing that truck up and nice adding the horses.

[@shaunfelton2046]

That’s an amazing transformation! Well done.

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@labdogman3335]

There's just something so satisfying about watching you sand blast. Taking a piece of scrap and making it look like it just came from the factory. The only thing that comes close is watching someone power wash a deck, driveway, brick wall or stucco (and I still love the kids "yeah"). I look forward to your vids. Good work!

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Thank you! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@aarontrupiano9328]

i really like how this channel doesn't edit the sandblasting footage other than speeding it up. pretty much everyone else skips large portions of it to the point i dread the part it inevitably gets cut short for no reason. this channel also has some of the clearest blasting footage as well. what happened to applying and sanding the body filler part?

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Thanks! Yeah the body filler part would have been a good segment... if I had bothered to hit the record button 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@trackwell81]

I wish you had tried to retro-bright that original windshield for a goof. Maybe you could to a special called “Will It Retro-Bright” and tried a bunch of random things.

[@brucebonkowski4526]

Hey chip I tried 2 items for restoring these toys. I tried a toothbrush and cleanser to scrub the white wall I also tried on good. Condition white wall cleaner like you use on cars there isany brands

Is UV supposed to make the peroxide more effective at bleaching?

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

I'd be lying if I said I understood the science behind it, but yes it definitely seems to accelerate it.

Where did you get those blacklight LED panels?

If there was such a thing as the 'Childhood Toy Restorers Club of KZbin', you, Chip Channel, and Joe DIY would get membership cards 1, 2, and 3. It's always nice to see a Tonka toy saved from the junkyard.

That is such a nice restoration. I am 69 years old and my next project is going to be an adult sized sand box so I can play with my Tonka toys again. It really doesn't matter what the neighbours think, they figure I am nuts already. lol Wonderful colour choice and a beautiful finish. Love watching these videos.

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

lol Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@nobblez]

Dumb question: Once you've finished restoring them, do you keep them, sell them or donate them to deserving kids? You must have a huge display room for these babies...

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Some I sell, Some I keep or give to my kids. Just depends.

[@terryemery7839]

I agree with Kevin Baker’s comments. Watching Chip Channel, Joe’s DIY, and your channel are completely satisfying. The transformation and your workmanship is excellent. YT is filled with so much BS garbage these days, but the above mentioned channels bring a smile to this old man! Thank you.

[@bryanpowell3724]

TRG Restoration knows how to successfully tell the story and keep the viewer interested. Chip Channel shows an hour of excruciatingly raw footage that you have to watch at 2x to see a moderately interesting restoration unfold, and then it still drags along. TRG keeps the viewer wanting more instead of making them constantly hit the FF button.

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Awesome, thank you!

[@marialoves2talk]

Wow! I found your page after looking at something on Reddit about another video channel on candles. Are you the same dude who had a candle page and Etsy? Well if you are a lot of folks miss you. I just found it tonite trying to see how I can make big candles to sell during the holidays. Thanks if you are that dude. I am not into miniature old cars but you did a good job. I see why Tonka don’t make them in plastic now. I saw too many of them when I will worked at Walmart in the kids department 2 years ago.

[@Wulfdon]

Since the driver's compartment was empty anyway, perhaps just painting the "glass" a gloss black might have worked as well as replacing it? Not chronologically accurate, but it might have looked like impressive window tint. Just a thought.

[@Bobby10241]

Nice choice of color

[@Bunyon151]

hey. how are things going? I enjoy your videos and work. Love the chemical corrosion removal. YAAAAY is still great.

[@northbeachvfd5326]

Hello. I was wondering if you would restore someone vintage toy if they sent one to you. I have a massive doepke fire truck that's in really good condition but would like to get it repainted and a few other things. There's a few rust spots on it but other than that it's almost brand new!

[@donigor9549]

Tim, as usual I have to say you are one of the best toy restorers on youtube. Next week I will upload two restorations being a Nylint F-series and an Econoline Van. If possible take a look there. I started to do this inspired by your work.

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Thanks! I'll check it out

The car was very rusty and you restoration it perfectly😍

[@johnrettig1880]

When you said that something's missing . I was thinking along the lines of a dark green pinstripe ( s ) on the sides . But ..... When you showed the horses I then thought you could put the TRG brand on them .

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

lol should have

[@bobfrapples1208]

Where did you get that rivet clamp?

[@williamharris8367]

In about 1977, I had the successor toy -- a truck with a horse trailer attachment. It was very similar in shape, but it had a clear plastic cover over the trailer. I do not remember if there was a stall divider, but it did include two plastic horses.

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Cool! I was born in '77. Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@markc6138]

How do we get in contact with you to restore a toy we have?

[@katmalone3696]

Do you keep all the trucks that you restore? Or do you sell them on eBay or some other website? Just wondering what you do with them after you restore them. You do a wonderful job. Love to watch your videos.

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Some I sell, Some I keep or give to my kids. Just depends.

[@c.j.cleveland7475]

Another great job! Did the horses originally come with the truck or did you have them already? 😁👍

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

I bought them separately, there were part of the original sewt though

[@colephares4973]

Does the rust and paint contaminate the sand in the sand blaster to the point where you have to replace the sand? If so, how often?

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

It can contaminate the media eventually, but the media breaks down long before that will happen. Mine usually lasts about 2 months
