    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.

    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.

    That high-pitched, shrill screeching from the drills isn’t quite the ASMR experience I’m craving, as a rule…
    But your work is nice and I respect your methods. 🙂 Jus' sayin'…

    I took a look around to see what the trucks look like in their best condition. The level of detail you have there is unbelievable, even the painting on the paint, which I actually find ugly myself, i.e. the white and black color, but it belongs to the model, really good, just missing the right figures. Which series was that actually?

    • @ar_restoration
      @ar_restoration  2 года назад +1

      👍👍Thank you so much for the compliment and comment!!! The gun and figure come from other toys, they can be found on eBay but they are expensive, It may be the only regret for the project.

      The series is Tonka Steel Monster

    Another ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐restoration! This one was quite different from the others I have seen so far. There were a lot of parts, with a mix of metal and plastic. I'm sure this one took a lot longer than most, especially when you had to fill in the pitted metal, or fabricate replacement parts that had unintentional holes through the metal. You did a fantastic job!

    There are two holes on the front top of the bucket part of the truck. It appears there may have been something there?

    • @ar_restoration
      @ar_restoration  2 года назад +1

      These two holes are reserved for production the part, most of the holes were hung by hooks for paint ( powder coating) and some of them are stamped parts for positioning.

    Just a bit of advice from a very old metal fabricator, when drilling into steel (of any kind) slow is better than fast, when you hear that squealing sound the drill bit is not cutting it’s literally bouncing up & down off the material, the opposite is true of aluminum, faster is better! Just sayin🤷
