The history aspect of the items has honestly become my favorite aspect to the restorations, especially because the majority of my time I watch your restorations I am working in my shop and just listening. Even narrating over the entire video would be welcome! Keep it up! Great looking wagon.
I for one appreciate the background on the RadioFlyer. Great restoration making it actually stronger that originally designed. I’m hoping the special 1yr old will enjoy it for many years to come.
I like it! I like that you took the time to bring back a piece of my youth so that *someone* 2 generations younger will know the joy and imagination a "little red wagon" invokes.
LOVE the historical aspect Justin. Awsome rebuild/restoration and one amazing birthday present. Good to see those autobody skills are still working out for you 👍👍🇦🇺..
Thank you Justin. I am in my 60s. When I was 4 I had a bad issue with a knee repaired and had to learn to walk all over. While I healed, My older brother used to pull me around in just such a wagon. To me, a "Little red wagon" speaks of my youth, of family, and of many many things. Your skill as a body man shows. Well Well Done. And thank you for the memory.
I enjoy the history lesson. Sometimes the endless tapping and droning of equipment is boring. Your well researched and topical history lessons are welcome and appreciated.
You saved something that was rusting away to nothing, and created a fantastic gift that will undoubtedly bring hours of joy to that little boy. Great job!
I loved the story and this was a great restomod. Its astounding at all the little people in the states who have been taken advantage of due to big money. Thumbs up to all the inventors who didnt get their break.
Justin, I absolutely love the way you can take trash to treasure. Sometimes a restoration has to be a total rebuild as there is not enough left of the original to restore. You are a sheet metal and bondo guru. Keep up the good work. Just because it is old, does not mean it is junk.
I'm nearing the end of my time here on earth and this video has brought me to tears of joy. I too had one of these magical first vehicles that filled more days than not with adventure. Thanks from this old man that truly enjoyed one more ride in a radio flyer.
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes, I enjoyed watching the healing of that little red wagon. Yes, I was edified by the history you related. Yes, I could take more of the same. Oh, and yes that was a gorgeous job. That one-year-old is a lucky little lad.
We used to pile up three of us (we were young) in a Radio Flyer, pull back the tongue, and head down a hill. When we got to the bottom, we were going too fast to turn onto the next street, so we ran into a neighbor's yard. Miraculously, none of us were killed. Beautiful job!
What a fantastic job! And the icing on the cake, was the great commentary and all the historical information provided regarding the Little Red Wagon. Brilliant!
Yes!Yes! YES!! Give me it ALL! Seriously though it IS history. Without knowing the history of a thing you can only appreciate half of what it is! It is interesting to see how "broke" something has to be before it is irreparable and the difference between renovating parts and replacing them. It is also good to see the techniques used for different types of repair (and why) because there are usually more than one way to "do it"! Another Great Video!
I had one of those and raced down hill pretending I was flying a plane! Love history myself. Tell me more never to old to learn something new. great resto mod.
I like that you told a story of the piece before the restoration (history) and I like when you explain what you are doing and why you choose the method during the video. Basically doing a voice-over in editing. Great job by the way!
I genuinely think adding some of the backstory behind the items you're restoring is an excellent idea Justin. The manufacturer or the inventor, it's history, anything that humanises the item and gives it context to a modern audience is a win. I love the before, restoration and reveal of old tools and I subscribe to several channels that make such content, but the history of the tools and the men/women who made them is just as fascinating to me. As a formula the combination of both (documenting the restoration and describing the history of the item) is a winner to my mind, thumbs up.
This punched right up center. We still have ours, and yes it is a Radio Flyer, proper. It's seen some miles, been taken camping, spilled laughing kids out on the side of a hill. This was right on your home turf as a body man, wasn't it? ReBuilt with love, this one. May it see many happy summer days.
That was like watching a time machine in action. The memories came flooding back to the early 50's . My brother had one and truth be told I used it more than he did. It was my royal coach as the prince escorted me to the ball. Thank you for the memories
A beautiful job on a device foreign to my culture but to me, associated with 50's Americana. The sturdy, rugged construction is very appealing from a design standpoint, which you have certainly done it proud.
Cool project and cool narrative! Loved the story! I must say I feel a very slight sense of pity for anyone that cannot distinctly recall the childhood sensation of being simultaneously thrilled and terrified, racing one of these down a hill. My folks bought one for all the siblings to share and we loved that thing. To death! My father repaired that little red wagon so many times I don't think anything but the bed, steering yoke and a few bolts were still original on it when the kids were all grown up. Now it's a humble gardening tool. But back in the day it was a space shuttle to the moon!
I know you want to get the homestead part of the channel going strong, but man, you’re God given talent was just on display. You honed your skills over the years for sure, but that video in its totality is one of your best yet! 👍
Wow Justin. Great story great resto-mod. Great to see how you filled those rust holes. Takes skill to patch like you did. Easier to do a cut out then patch fill. Thanks for sharing
Justin, love the history. It's just as important as the restoration. The story is the reason why we want to preserve things. Also, I really liked your method of filling the holes. Would love to see more on that. I feel most people don't like it because it does take time and patience.
Maybe not a restoration, but definitely a return to service. I always wonder at people that comment about how that isn't how you do that, when the video evidence is right there! Lots of ways to do things. I probably wouldn't have repaired that wagon that way, but I don't have a welder. The job got done and looks like a solid repair, Thanks for bringing me along!
Awesome job, love the history behind the item. In a way it fitting Antonio Pasin invented a cart out of necessity it became popular. Sear stole the idea and you put it back in its rightful place . Necessity is the mother of invention. I really enjoyed your video, Thanks
You took me back to my get away place, great project Justin enjoyed watching it all come together. It seams every one has a comment with how it should be done, but my way is the right way thanks for taking the time sharing this one with us. Play Safe From Elliot Lake Ontario Canada.
I absolutely loved this, grew up with one, both of my kids had radio flyers and seeing you take it from beyond bad to brand new is fantastic, love the history, the narration! Thanks!
Keep them coming with the history! Combining two of the most awesome things; the story behind the item and how to make it preserve it for many more years to come so someone else can research it and learn about it when we dirt.
Just found your video- loved my "Little Red Wagon" as a kid. happen to find a rust basket case last year and am going to re-ferb it- if I could figure out how. Now heres You and How to so now I'm gonna get started. Throwing in the history and or the how a tool was used is always welcome
A great idea when you are welding over/in holes. Use either an aluminum backer plate or a brass/copper one. It will allow you to fill in holes so much faster. Absolutely great refurbishing project. Thumbs Up for sure...

Yes, please keep doing the history bits. Your voice is perfect for the mini documentaries. Nice work, as usual!

Great job and interesting history lesson
Remarkable. Amazing job. More history, please. Too many have forgotten or never learned. Thank you.

I like it!

That will be a great birthday gift for a young man. Many things are learned with toys like this.
No complaints about your welding...couldn't believe you did the metal replacement with wire! Fabulous skill.
I can remember having a RadioFlyer as a kid , and using it to deliver news papers. This brings back a lot of memories.
I loved the story and this was a great restomod. Its astounding at all the little people in the states who have been taken advantage of due to big money. Thumbs up to all the inventors who didnt get their break.

The beginning had the feel of a time forgotten thanks brought back lots of warm memories
I'm nearing the end of my time here on earth and this video has brought me to tears of joy. I too had one of these magical first vehicles that filled more days than not with adventure.
Thanks from this old man that truly enjoyed one more ride in a radio flyer.
+Dave Pierce Thank you David. I made it for you.
The history with the restoration was great. Looking forward to seeing more.
I am really digging the history lessons. This is a great addition to your videos.
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes, I enjoyed watching the healing of that little red wagon. Yes, I was edified by the history you related. Yes, I could take more of the same. Oh, and yes that was a gorgeous job. That one-year-old is a lucky little lad.

I admire the respect you show to the items you restore.
Holy cow! When I got out of this video is that with the right tools in the right mindset you can pretty much do anything. Thank you for sharing
Fantastic idea!!!!! Please more history and story telling while restoring the item!
What a fantastic job! And the icing on the cake, was the great commentary and all the historical information provided regarding the Little Red Wagon. Brilliant!
Yes!Yes! YES!!
Give me it ALL!
Seriously though it IS history. Without knowing the history of a thing you can only appreciate half of what it is! It is interesting to see how "broke" something has to be before it is irreparable and the difference between renovating parts and replacing them.
It is also good to see the techniques used for different types of repair (and why) because there are usually more than one way to "do it"!
Another Great Video!
You restoration guys are the "real American hero's"
What a great job. Bring back a little bit of history.
Your history of this was not only informational but added to watching you with your gift. Thanks
This is something a teacher could get students to watch. The restoration helps make the story be more than just boring history. Great job!
Love the history... A forgotten truth. can't be changed , but all should learned. Great format and build. Carl in PA
Killer job. I'm sure the young man that gets the wagon will treasure it.
Looks like he is going to have a great birthday!
I had one of those and raced down hill pretending I was flying a plane! Love history myself. Tell me more never to old to learn something new. great resto mod.

+Ian Lowe Thank you Ian.
Nicely done. The fine art of planishing is seldom demonstrated so well. Thank you.
This brings back memories of the Radio Flyer Wagon I had as a child. Mine had bigger tires that could handle tougher Terrains.
Well done, Justin. It is a beatiful piece of art. And the story of this toy was great too!

It was fun seeing a body man work with a hammer, power tools and filler. Stopping and feeling for flatness is a good technique. Thanks for the video.
The pounding of hammer against steel is really relaxing loved the video
Nice resto mod Justin and enjoyed the back story, very interesting! She turned out sweet!

Always nice to see the work of someone who knows what he's doing.
I LOVE IT!!! TOTALLY AWESOME BUILD!!! TOTALLY AWSOME FABRICATION!!!! SHE CAME OUT SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!
I thoroughly enjoyed watching those welds come together. You have a deft touch and that is a great technique.
Totally digging the new format with the historical narration.
+Darren Lemieux Thanks! Give it a share on Facebook!
Absolutely loved the history and the new format
great video. a bit of history, elbow grease, sparks and paint. I'm looking forward to many more.
What a beautiful restomod!! I like the way you patched the rust. Please show us more metal toys.
I love your narration would loved to here more history as you restore something you have the voice man
Wow Justin. Great story great resto-mod. Great to see how you filled those rust holes. Takes skill to patch like you did. Easier to do a cut out then patch fill. Thanks for sharing
Holy cow that's amazingly awesome great history lesson 👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
That sure brings back memories. Love the history lesson. More of these please!
Beautiful resto-mod - enjoyed the video - loved the history - more please
NO matter what you call it, you still did a great job !!! Brian UK .
Hi , lovely restoration of the wagon and interesting to hear about the history of the company,
Justin, love the history. It's just as important as the restoration. The story is the reason why we want to preserve things. Also, I really liked your method of filling the holes. Would love to see more on that. I feel most people don't like it because it does take time and patience.
Excellent photography of the weld!

Great vidjo .The voice over was a treat lighting and shots well done show Steve the Ego how the good men do it !
Its always nice to learn something new or be reminded of the things we forget. This was a nice touch to a wonderful rebirth. Keep them coming.
Love your history story and or restoration of your toy wagon. Thank you for sharing your story. God bless you and your family
GREAT BUILD, A GREAT VIDEO, AND THANKS FOR SHARING.
A stunning restoration. In the UK we do not see many little red wagons so this was fantastic.
What an awesome job!! That looks amazing!!
Showing off with your bodywork skills there Justin! Great restoration!
Turned out beautiful!
Looks very nice. I'm 66 years old and my siblings and I had at least one Radio Flyer on the farm.
Justin you did a great job on the radio flying it better then new one
Love the story with the video. Your passion and respect for history really shines through.
The history bit was the icing on the cake and I actually enjoyed it as much! Informative and entertaining, nicely done!
Wow man, this is an intense labor of love. Keep the good work and keep on moving people's heart toward these pieces of history.
Loved the video and loved the history behind the piece.. Totally brilliant🙂👍
Justin you knocked that one out of the park!!!! Good job Sir 👍👍
We have one at my house, this makes me want to restore it
Awesome job, love the history behind the item. In a way it fitting Antonio Pasin invented a cart out of necessity it became popular. Sear stole the idea and you put it back in its rightful place . Necessity is the mother of invention. I really enjoyed your video, Thanks
You took me back to my get away place, great project Justin enjoyed watching it all come together.
It seams every one has a comment with how it should be done, but my way is the right way thanks for taking the time sharing this one with us.

LOVE the history! more of it would be good!
I absolutely loved this, grew up with one, both of my kids had radio flyers and seeing you take it from beyond bad to brand new is fantastic, love the history, the narration! Thanks!
My goodness Justin that is just stunning
Superb work. I envy the people that have that kind of skill.
The history was totally awesome. Thanks!
absolutely loved this ....everything about it.
I love the history that your giving as well. I didn't know anything about the radio flyer before havd and i had one growing up
Keep them coming with the history! Combining two of the most awesome things; the story behind the item and how to make it preserve it for many more years to come so someone else can research it and learn about it when we dirt.
We would put an old TV dinner folding tray in our wagon throw a blanket over it and that was our stagecoach. Thanks for the history and video.
Loved every second of it as usual! the added bit of history really added something as well
Just found your video- loved my "Little Red Wagon" as a kid. happen to find a rust basket case last year and am going to re-ferb it- if I could figure out how. Now heres You and How to so now I'm gonna get started. Throwing in the history and or the how a tool was used is always welcome
Love the history format
A great idea when you are welding over/in holes. Use either an aluminum backer plate or a brass/copper one. It will allow you to fill in holes so much faster. Absolutely great refurbishing project. Thumbs Up for sure...
Spectacular job you did!!!
Beautiful resto-mod. I really loved the history of the radio flyer.
I thoughrly enjoyed the story of how the Radio Flyer came about.
Enjoyed the restomod as well
Thanks for sharing.
This was wonderful, I love the extra that you're putting into the video. Thank You!!
Wonderful work Justin. To take something that has been discarded and turn it into a treasure for someone to enjoy is a blessed gift. :)
