    Great job 👍. I have an old Tonka cement mixer under my work bench. Larger scale.
    I can hardly wait to restore it.

    It's one of two things - and you don't have to respond to this because it's no one's business, but - you are either NOT married, or you are married to one hell of an awesome woman! No "in between man" would even have a chance at enjoying such a refined hobby.

    Beautiful restoration, Tim! FYI, I saw another RUclipsr who restores Matchbox vehicles use metal polish on the windshields to get rid of the micro-scratches with great results. That UV light setup you created is ingenious! BTW, I want your ultrasonic cleaner. 😂 Thank you as always. 👍👍👍 ~ John

    Another AMAZING job and thanks for sharing! I thought you would have to apply some filler for the badly rusted parts. And by the way, my parents gave me this exact cement mixer for a birthday gift around 1965 and I still have it today in mint shape since I took care of it. The red color from the factory is similar to this one but possibly a bit darker.

  • @yana1955
    @yana1955 2 года назад +3

    Glad to see you refinished the windshield. A lot of vehicle restorers will 'bleach' the white parts but replace the windshield instead of giving it a chance. 👍

    But, that was before 1970.
    How long was this mixer made?

  • @donparker8246
    @donparker8246 2 года назад

    Question. I noticed that on some toys you use the acetone and out gassing steps, but not always. Is it because the metal is exceptionally dirty and rusty? Does it help the paint adhere better? Just curious. Another great job😁👍

    • @Dylan-ug6jp
      @Dylan-ug6jp 2 года назад

      Probably it's just a matter of not showing always the same repetitive procedure, that's a step that you always need to do after you sandblast the pieces, because that can always be some residue to eliminate before priming them. :)
