This man is a fabricator, painter, bodyman, sander, buffer, engineer, scientist, artist, thinker out of the box, and a man on a mission. But most of all he’s a genius restorer of these timeless classics they call Tonka Toys !
while your restorations are indeed superbly done, what are the chances of seeing a "custom" where the vehicle is left in bare metal and high-gloss polished/sealed?
I had one similar to this pickup here in Australia, but it had like a cattle Side above the pickup sides and a single axle Trailer and it had the cattle rack sides, the paint job was a light blue and it came with two sheep and 2 Milking cows, two fake bales of Hay and a Cattle Dog. This was the late 60's early 70"s, love to find one, have you seen them in the states, or was it an Australian one-off build? Love your videos and very informative restoration, I helped my father while he was alive doing restorations of Vintage and Veteran Chevy's cars and Trucks, Cheers From DownUnder Bob.
Thank you soo much for watching! I normally spend 8-10 hours during a rebuild. I would say half of that is camera setup and lighting. Then it's a good 3 hours of editing.
Hello, congratulations on the video and the work. You could have shown how you replaced the tailgate and what thickness of sheet metal you used. Thank you
another beautiful restoration!!! btw, did you know, they do sell powder coat "chrome" the looks nearly like chrome, some of the other restorers are using it and it does look really good, and much easier then the process your using, just media blast the chrome parts and powdercoat/bank like any other part
What I would love to see is someone take this to the next level - upgrade. You know, like detailed interiors and/or radical paint jobs. Maybe invest in a 3-D printer. Every time I watch one of these videos, I imagine doing these things. If only...
Thank you for watching and supporting my hobby! Hopefully someday you can! This is very relaxing for me, I believe everyone should have a hobby like this.
I only saw one thing that technically you didn't have to do. You didn't have to dip them in, I took it to be Nickle. I've been restoring Tonka, Buddy L and hundreds of others for 30 years. So, I know. What you need when your trying to get the tin work polished is a fine brass wire wheel for your Dremel. Wire wheel each piece until they are smooth and all the oxidation is cleaned off. All you need is a buffing wheel for your Dremel and jewelers rouge. They will shine like brand new. All you have to do after that is wash it with a good metal cleaner and grease remover. Then spray them with a good coat of cristal clear. And let them dry. The shine will stay there for years to come because the clear will seal the metal where and dampness can't get to it. Keep it out of the sun and it will never oxidize again. It will always shine. I just thought I would throw that out there. You do very good work.
I actually just got a red and white one in the mail yesterday! Except this one also has white walls. I plan on doing it a custom color coming up! Thanks for watching!

Another 2nd time around for me. Brilliant workmanship.
Still have a lot of my Tonka toy vehicles from the 50s/60s and my boys and now my grandsons most are still usable
The AAA tow truck towing the broken toys is so cute!
For stamped metal, Tonka's really were the toughest toys in the sandbox!
Totally agree! Thanks for watching!
@@ChipChannelRestorations 😇🥰🥰😇😇
Beautiful restoration. Beautiful color. I'm sure that it looks better now than when it was new
Another excellent quality restoration! I like how the towel on the table matches the color of the pickup. Two thumbs up!
Thanks for watching another one of my videos!! Greatly appreciate it!
@@ChipChannelRestorationsCan you do a restoration for my Tonka Fire Department CD Rescue Squad ?
Nothing like the beauty of a simple blue-green truck!
I really love this color. Thank you for watching!
Love it. A color of the times. A sharp looking truck. 😺❤😺
Dit is een prachtige restauratie geworden! Vooral de kleurcombinatie is prachtig.
Veel succes met je volgende projecten.
I've realized it so that you've mainly been restoring; a lot of old iron toy trucks, not very much of 4 door sedans, vans or even station wagons.
I always loved old pick ups. I would diff buy this beauty. Good job, love the color.
Thank you! I really like the stepside pickups!
Truck of my dreams!♥️
Your work is amazing! Love watching your channel!!
I'd love that truck to drive now!!
Just like new. Maybe even better! 👍
Thank you for your support and watching multiple of my videos!
Beautiful job!
Love your restored and your wonderful sense of playfulness.
Chip love to see you do the red ramp truck next
That is so sharp I think you should watch you don't cut yourself. Kudos to you Chip. Once again a totally enjoyable restoration.
Greatly appreciate your support! Stay safe and healthy!

Hopefully you will someday restore a Tonka Jeep Camper and Hook and Ladder Fire Truck.
I'm still looking for a Ladder truck. Hopefully I can get one purchased soon.

Fantastic work, Sir! My daughter and I love watching your restorations. How long does a rebuild usually take?
Thank you soo much for watching! I normally spend 8-10 hours during a rebuild. I would say half of that is camera setup and lighting. Then it's a good 3 hours of editing.
@@ChipChannelRestorations Awesome! Keep them coming!

Thank you! I'll have to give some a try.
