Absolutely LOVE the fact you have preserved the history of the kids that painted ‘Destroyer’ on the side ; and made it better , carried on their theme of an ‘end of days’ vehicle. My favourite resto ever - well done.

excellent work! the most impressive part has to be the writings, wow! building the plastic cabin shows great dedication. this piece must be quite rare, and I had totally forgotten about it. honestly, I miss Tonkas, they re a part of America s history. they should have included figures waaay before this era. I was surprised that you found the guns and figure. it s funny how many toys act as prototypes of concepts. a half track dump truck for instance, quite cool! if I get my money, I ll be on the look out for a 50s piece for sure. they still look awesome as classic deco. as other comments, I agree that looking at you work is relaxing and satisfying. if you get bored, maybe picking a common piece could be funny converted as a mad Max 100% your artistic flair creation. keeping the rust and holes, adding spikes and chains. you have my total confidence, lol. good work!

Fantastic! I have one of these in a box in the garage, that is only missing the guns and one of the treads. Amazing to see your resto on one that was that far gone. A tip for cutting the plastic, get a variable temperature hot knife. It's easier to make clean straight cuts without all the grinding. But wear a respirator some plastics such as ABS give off toxic fumes when melting.

If you want to restore, AND make tracks like that flexible again, get some 303 Aerospace Protectant and soak them in it. The longer the better.

“Pintonka Semi Tubular Rivet Tool”, I bought two others but only this is high quality! You may go to their website or eBay
