[@samadkins843]

you did a great job restoring the ambulance.

[@compositesquare]

Great job

[@michaelaldredge-greenwell1692]

Another fantastic & awesome restoration done by a brilliant & expert restoration master!! Thank you for rescuing these beautiful toys & giving them new lives

[@lyleslaton3086]

Takes me back to the TV show EMERGENCY. Cool restoration.

[@duygukayhanisaskank4915]

"YOU" Sir, are the Rembrandt of Tonka vehicle restorations!!!! As a child, they were my favorite toys from Santa. It is a sincere pleasure to watch you "meticulously" bring these vehicles back to their...better than...original condition. Kindest regards, Ben

[@johnkaiser8410]

Very nice! Matched with white Jeep tow truck makes a nice set! Good work, nice finishes & extra touches to complete the toys! Very well done!

[@squishycakes9087]

I had this when i was a kid. My grandpa bought it for me at the Western Auto.. I still see it sitting on the shelf in the store. thanks for sharing this.. good memories.

[@akehapkap6143]

I've never seen those before KZbin. But Im from Scandinavia, I guess they weren't sold in Denmark. I remember the Matchbox model cars, my little brother had a lot of them. I'm a girl so I never got any, but I played with my brothers toys lol

[@jco5104]

I had this one too. My first Tonka. :) 4 decades ago. Thanks :)

[@VeradonaRestoration]

Very nice job ! Thanks

[@thijsversteeg9010]

Alweer een schitterende restauratie! Wat een metamorfose.

[@vickiefowler1429]

It’s a stunner! I can’t believe you just had the perfect spare window piece lying around!

[@mukans]

Yes, and how could ,,we,, rescue the original one, was it too gone? Couse its a problem not only by this one(

[@scottfortune9016]

I'm going thru your older videos, and I can see how your skill and completeness of restorations has really improved over time and various projects!

[@elfowl6873]

Excellent restoration!! like new again.

[@carlosantiman1378]

There were such ambulances in Chile In the 70's and 80's. Not Toys, but real and authentic mechanisms.

[@georgeshelton6281]

This was the greatest iron toy ambulance that was ever revamped.

[@EastTexasRanching]

Fantastic job.

[@bigmikeh5827]

You made my 6 year old heart flutter when I saw this just now! That was one of my favorite toys as a kid. Thank you for the memories.

[@phoenixman8569]

Im not surprised this toy was still intact, the company's motto for years was " BUILT TONKA TOUGH"!!!!!!

[@drf8879]

That's an awesome end result

[@iamcarbonandotherbits.8039]

My grandad used to repair or restore other people's toys about 40 odd years ago. And one day he told me of an old tin yacht he was repairing and on taking it apart he found a rolled up piece of paper inside. The paper had been hand written with the date of 14 August 1920, It then went on to list the cost of a house and the weekly wage of the average person plus the price of individual items that made up the daily shopping. When he repaired and put the boat back together he also put the list back in the boat exactly where he found it. Watching what you do just made the connection. Have you come across anything like this in your restoration work?

[@joe_diy]

Cool story! The only thing I've found in a toy was an old padlock stuck in a Doepke fire truck I'm working on now. I did find some old 60's matchbooks and sunoco leaflets under the package tray in my 64 Chevy, that was pretty neat!

[@iamcarbonandotherbits.8039]

@@joe_diy . You should put your name and date of restoration in your work, That way you will have left something for future restorers to check back on especially if they end up in a toy museum.

[@jerrybailey5797]

Great restoration on the Jeep Cherokee Rescue Vehicle 👏 👌 👍

[@jrand2631]

Really great restoration. 👍👍👍

[@crazyivan030983]

I think you should show more of cleaning. For example, how the rust stains were removed from this white interior. This moment when you take it of from cleaning solution, how you cleaned front grill, how you cleaned rubbers :) i think this will make video better because it will show better attention to detail and how much time it took to clean everything :) this will make even better impression :) but great video :) relaxing to watch :) greetings from Poland :)

Very Nice ! I had this Exact ambulance when I was a kid. The only difference is that mine came with an EMT Action Figure man.

[@MrTweaver500]

Next tim you get rust on the plastic, use a product called CLR. It stands for Calcium, Lime and Rust. It's great stuff!

[@roderikvanderkelen]

That aluminum tape is a fantastic idea! Great restoration!

[@RestorationAustralia]

Beautiful model well done.

[@donaldswink6259]

Absolutely beautiful restoration job.

[@carloscreates001]

That is so cool! My wife had the same truck as a kid. It's now at her mother's house. She was so happy to see this being restored. 👏😁👍

[@MR.B00_]

One of the finest toy automobile restorations I have seen. Bravo!!!

[@dudeparistx]

These guys that give a thumbs down obviously don't appreciate the time and effort here. Great job.

[@dudeparistx]

@Lyle Grandersom BRAH????? grown men down call people BRAH or BRUH. The thumbsup/down is for the video. using it because someone doesn't like advertisements doesn't make a damn bit of sense..and that's what KZbin red is for. no ads. but thanks for the heads up.

[@darthvaydr]

That’s awesome I have that exact same ambulance that I’ve had since The mid 70’s! Great job man!!

[@josephwood1532]

As a fair criticism not having the door handles painted makes a difference. There's something about the finished car that seems incomplete and I think that's it

[@isfj1009]

I had one of these!!!! FABULOUS!!!

[@henriqueoliveirajr1837]

Awesome job ! 😎👍

[@ZGryphon]

That's amazing. Gives me hope for my old childhood Mighty Dump, which my mother used as a garden planter for many years after I grew up and moved away...

[@MrTruckerf]

You are lucky! After I left, my little brother used mine for a chamber pot next to the bed. Gave a whole new meaning to 'Mighty Dump' .

[@akehapkap6143]

Send it to him :)

[@StereoSpace]

Awesome work.

[@damxgopak457]

Love your restos.i use the product CLR and toothbrush to clean rusty plastic works fast and reconditions the plastic.

[@onnomous9689]

Nice! Got mine on my 4th birthday. 45 years on and my kids played with it, hope my grandkids will too!

[@jimbartosevich498]

I've watched enough of these now to start to seriously wonder what restoration does to the value of the toy.

[@jimbartosevich498]

@hawkturkey to tell the truth, I'm not sure that the value always moves in the same direction. I mean granted, original in good condition is always most valuable. But some of these restores really seem like they widen the potential base for resale to make the tours worth more. I suspect that like any other antique, the connoisseur will keep looking for that well kept original, while people with fond memories of their favorite childhood toys might be more likely to purchase this guys after than his before

[@caroltanzi29]

Great restoration! Love it.

[@lorencarey7161]

Will powder-coating on a partially putty filled surface still create an even coating?

[@only257]

Great job😊

[@jasperwalling1745]

I could imagine a custom Ecto-1 with this

[@-Deena.]

Lovely job 🧡 I'm curious. Has anyone tried the hydrogen peroxide and UV on yellowed transparent plastic like the windows? Would it work?

[@akehapkap6143]

I'd like to know that to. It might work :)
