Thanks to you these beautiful toys live on !!!!!....I can't believe that people were so careless about the toys they once played with....great restoration on ALL OF THEM... THANKS
I've seen other "restorers" videos but none are as enjoyable to watch nor have the skills you do and their finished pieces reflect that. Thanks for an interesting & relaxing hour.
I'm glad that there are people out there who restore things back to fantastic and new condition, too many times I tossed things out even though I didn't want to, because I lack knowledge of how to fix it, and skill.
I truly believe the patient attention to each small detail of this project really brings out true authenticity of the original vintage truck. Truly magnificent work.
Poor little red truck please to see you got it will be fantastic when you get it done .I love this channel I am amazing at just how much work takes for one Restoration thank you for sharing keep your videos coming
You have me addicted... I went and bought a sandblaster to restore an old army gas tank for my Jeep. :) Thank you for your inspiration, I can't imagine how much you have invested in tools and time for these projects.
WOW! You've got ALL the toys...and I'm not talking about the things you restore! CAD program, CNC, 3-D printer, lathe, all the Dremel stuff, welder, professional spray booth with filtration, sandblaster, oven for curing powder coat paint....I love it, and am partially jealous...(although I lack the math skills it takes to use the first three items I mentioned)...
A spectacular job of restoring every single piece in this massive project. What is even more impressive to me though, is the masterpiece of video editing done to make this process look so smooth and seamless.
Epic! And the most amazing tools. Your attention to detail is so satisfying to watch. Love, someone who works with messy data and broken Excel worksheets all day...
Ok , you got me! Beautiful work. I'm a girly girl now, but I used to crawl around with my brothers in the dirt, driving Tonka trucks. My personal favorite was a Semi hauling a 6 horse trailer. Wish I had them now! I'm 66 now! My dad took the horses from us, painted them up and put them with his horse collection! Haha!
Quite the Chip factory you're building. If I hadn't watched the video, it would be hard to believe that something that far gone could be brought back to shine again the way it first did in some child's eyes!
Thank you Ray Wood! I'm super excited to keep adding more tools to the shop, I hope to some day be able to remake all of the parts for one of these toys.
Painstakingly & meticulously done! It passed the Cat's 59:02 inspection too! All the new tools and techniques add a new flavour to each episode. Brings back some sweet childhood memories too. Many a times, I feel that the Tonka toys you restore are better than they were bought brand new from the Toy store!
Two things amazes me, one that there are people who let such a beautiful toy rot away and two, that there are people who can restore them like new... wonderful job...❤️
This was an extremely thorough and accurate restoration using some very sophisticate equipment. This truck and trailer would be a great display piece in someones home or office. Beautiful~
I applaud your patience on these challenging projects, I guess there's some truth to the saying the greater the challenge the greater the reward. Well done as always.
Your skills and techniques have increased so much over the years. This is a stunning example of that. I am totally impressed. I love to watch you work. I restore toys myself for my own collection but you Sir are on a much higher level than me. Looking forward to the next one. I hope it is the tank. Wink wink.
Thanks so much Shawn Fisher!😊 I was really excited to try stamping parts in this video! The tank is coming soon, Just waiting on a few additional parts yet and hopefully my new lathe to come in
I enjoyed this episode very much. I especially liked seeing how you polished the (aluminum?) siding on the trailer. Seems like I learn something new with every episode.
I have never seen a rust bucket come to life like this-it was great saving the toy from a smelter's fire.The replaced board was a plus-the old one could not hold well with new nails.Now if you will excuse me I need to watch your other restores.
Amazing work! the mixture of old and new school tech makes your channel one of the most interesting restoration channels out there! keep up the good work.
Firstly, holy cow! The rot on those wheels and caps! DANG. You've never had any of either nearly that bad! I won't lie, I got excited while also in awe. lol "How many miles?" THOSE AXLES, WOW. Never seen any toy vehicle with that kind of wear. O, the stories this truck must have. All the adventures and roads paved for it by the children at the wheel. How much it must have been truly loved to get so much use. Suggestion for the future when trying to salvage the wood pieces! Clear acrylic filler! Even if the wood is terrible, you're keeping it with the entire project together that way, and in much sturdier condition! You could even add a little color, flake, or pearl to the fill. :D
Wow, awesome restoration. Beautiful semi tractor trailer. You have a lot of cool toys now to do these incredible restorations. How fun. Your talents are amazing. Thank you for sharing them and the adorable Beaker. 😸💕😊💕😸
Awesome job Chip! I like how you used your new 3d printer to create new trailer wheels. I enjoy watching all your videos. Thanks again for sharing with all of us.
I am 71, and I had this exact toy as a child. The only thing I think I remember that was different was that the rear slide door was also corrugated like the rest of the trailer side. Otherwise a beautiful restoration as always.
Great video,that poor old truck definitely had seen better days,whoever previous got their money’s worth out of it.day and night transformation.you do have the talent for these types of projects.keep up your work ethic and carry on 👍👍👍😎😎😎
Hey man this is over the top + out of the park! Amazing skill + craftsmanship! 5 stars for you. Accually better than new.They never primered toys, just shot the lead finish on bare metal. I'd pay $ 1,000 for this truck. When i left for Vietnam, my cousin's raided my toys behind my mother's back! Sorry saps. Carry on my friend....... You keep the memory alive! ..
I didn't know these tin toys. But I imagine they are now better than those originally found in the showcase of old toy stores. Hugs and congratulations for this work of art.
This one was in rough shape. You did an amazing restoration on it though. I love watching you make parts for it. You definitely have an eye for details. Thanks for sharing 😀
I am amazed at the beautiful, smooth surfaces you achieved. You have such an eye for detail as well as diligence and skill to create such awesome results. It is immensely satisfying to see such marred, broken vehicles become things of beauty! I love how you use sophisticated tools like CNC and 3D printing. As a long time equipment software engineer, I think about how cool it would be to develop the software embedded in those tools, controlling all that hardware. I'm such a tech geek. 😄 Keep up the great work!
Excellent work-all the wannabee restorers are not even on the same planet as you. I like to listen to my favorite music and watch you do this-very relaxing. Also-I saw your little "oopsie" with the mud flap mount, but that just shows you are human. I really enjoy this channel.
An extremely challenging restoration extremely well done! Kudos to you sir! I have watched you increase your skills over the years and move into new techniques and methods. I look forward to your new projects with interest.
Now this is what I call Restoration Precision! Fantastic job on this one bro'! Every single detail of that truck got restored to its former glory, anyway, looking forward to the next rusty vehicle to be restored from that car junk shop bro'! More power to the channel and God bless from the 🇵🇭!
I’ve always wondered where these toys have hiding all these years to end up looking like this when you got them. In a lake, old garbage dump, farmers field, roadside ditch? Certainly not someone’s attic….not rusted away like this. And then you work your magic and bring them back to life…amazing.
Excellent restoration, Chip, overall. You did misalign the center pivot hole on the trailer bogey, raising the trailer up noticeably higher than it was originally - I noticed that hole was off as soon as I saw your replacement parts. I'm surprised you didn't notice it. Your skills at fabricating and restoring the parts are absolutely amazing, your paint finishes superb!
Don't think I didn't notice you attaching the mud flap bracket the wrong way around at first and then fixing it off camera haha ;) This one was extra impressive work, you really worked miracles on this one!
Thanks to you these beautiful toys live on !!!!!....I can't believe that people were so careless about the toys they once played with....great restoration on ALL OF THEM... THANKS
3-D printing, parts machining, and die stamping, all in one restoration? Outstanding!
I've seen other "restorers" videos but none are as enjoyable to watch nor have the skills you do and their finished pieces reflect that. Thanks for an interesting & relaxing hour.
I'm glad that there are people out there who restore things back to fantastic and new condition, too many times I tossed things out even though I didn't want to, because I lack knowledge of how to fix it, and skill.
What a beauty. The only thing I like more than seeing what you do to your old little boy toys is the big boy toys you use to fix them all up!!
It is great to see old "decent" tonka and other vehicles being restored.
I really enjoy watching you restore these classics.
WOW All the tools that you have
I truly believe the patient attention to each small detail of this project really brings out true authenticity of the original vintage truck. Truly magnificent work.
Poor little red truck please to see you got it will be fantastic when you get it done .I love this channel I am amazing at just how much work takes for one Restoration thank you for sharing keep your videos coming

I don't think I've seen a vehicle that needed your talented hand more than this one. From such a revolting start to such a great finish. Fantastic!
It is nice to know someone out there takes an intrest in restoring old toys like this, keep it up.
You have me addicted... I went and bought a sandblaster to restore an old army gas tank for my Jeep. :) Thank you for your inspiration, I can't imagine how much you have invested in tools and time for these projects.
Best video yet! And you really do have The Most Interesting Tools for your use.

Amazing that a kid's toy from the 1950s outlasted all the appliances you buy today! Beautiful work!
Quite the Chip factory you're building. If I hadn't watched the video, it would be hard to believe that something that far gone could be brought back to shine again the way it first did in some child's eyes!
Thank you Ray Wood! I'm super excited to keep adding more tools to the shop, I hope to some day be able to remake all of the parts for one of these toys.
Chip, your truck was cat scanned, and approval was instant. Nice job on the restoration of this truck.

Many a times, I feel that the Tonka toys you restore are better than they were bought brand new from the Toy store!
I did not think you could fix this one, but i was wrong, it was so rusty. i think you can fix anything and make it look better than new. Great work.
I think you have surpassed the Tonka factory in quality workmanship. These would be gem level.
Two things amazes me, one that there are people who let such a beautiful toy rot away and two, that there are people who can restore them like new... wonderful job...❤️
Nice restore. Cute kitty.
This was an extremely thorough and accurate restoration using some very sophisticate equipment. This truck and trailer would be a great display piece in someones home or office. Beautiful~
Wow, the toys you have to repair these projects is impressive.
I may be a tool hoarder by trait haha. Thank you Grumpyoldtimer!
I applaud your patience on these challenging projects, I guess there's some truth to the saying the greater the challenge the greater the reward. Well done as always.
Excellent restore! I can just imagine Christmas morning. All the great presents under the tree! This included!
Would make for an amazing Christmas morning! Thanks for watching Michael Batts!

@@callenruby4050 Hi
Beautiful restoration. Your skill amazes me every time. I never look at old metal vehicles the same when I am in antique stores.
That tractor trailer might look better then it did brand new in 1956. You put alot of love and care into it.
Wow! So great to see all the different tools old and new that you used. The truck looks wonderful.
Oh my word, what a fabulous restoration, brilliant. Thank you.
I enjoyed this episode very much. I especially liked seeing how you polished the (aluminum?) siding on the trailer. Seems like I learn something new with every episode.
Absolutely beautiful, fantastic job, you are a very skilled restoration expert. Thank you because you made my day.

Another awesome restoration Chip! You did incredible job saving this old Tonka with what looked like a million miles judging how narrow the axles got
Awesome restoration chip as always. If I may point out one thing the landing gear for the trailer is on backwards .
Chip, I could watch your videos in their entirety , excellent as always
Thank you Aj Koots!!
Extra toasty! Must have sat in a barn for 40 years. :) Very nice result!
Thanks Ken K!

I’d guess 125,000 miles but only driven on salt packed roads in the north.
I really enjoy your videos.
Another GRTEAT JOB. of all the guys i have seen do this on youtube you are the best looking forward to more.
Great work as always! Awesome to see your trailer was able to be cleaned up and buffed out.
So funny dragging the parts off camera. Bravo turned out great. Glade the tonka truck was my first to watch your skills in action. 🤗
Spiders, why is it always spiders and their nests??? 🙀
Amazing job!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️

Love the big projects , this one was great work. One day America may make good , sturdy toys again.
Hey man this is over the top + out of the park! Amazing skill + craftsmanship! 5 stars for you.
Accually better than new.They never primered toys, just shot the lead finish on bare metal.
I'd pay $ 1,000 for this truck.
When i left for Vietnam, my cousin's raided my toys behind my mother's back! Sorry saps.
Carry on my friend.......
You keep the memory alive!

Great work, hard to imagine it would look better than new. I am the same age as the truck and I wished I looked as good.
I didn't know these tin toys. But I imagine they are now better than those originally found in the showcase of old toy stores.
Hugs and congratulations for this work of art.

Fantastic! A million dollar restoration for sure!

Nice work as always neat trick with the mud flaps
Thank you L.K.B.
A stunning transformation. It didn't look possible. 👍👍
It's a great pleasure watching this magnificent restoration. Each and every aspect has been taken care of. Keep up the good work. Bravo!
Always satisfying, Chip! Will keep wathing from the Philippines! ❤️
Thanks so much Kristel Regondola-Biscarra! Hello from the United States!
That was quite the restoration. It was nice to see the other equipment you use in your restorations. Great video.
That whole thing was a complete mess the second you started taking it apart. Amazing restoration.
Wow!!! All I say every time I watch one!!! Looks better than new!!!
That axle was really on its last leg..
This trucknwas well loved❤
The before / after is really impressive 👍
Love your work 👍😀 when did you realize the mudguard hanger was on backwards? You fixed it without damaging any of the bits you restored too!
It looks like you've got some great projects ahead of you and I can't wait to see them
