    Not only did you restore it back to better than its original form ! But you went above and beyond by adding the headlights and the new rubber tires and made it better than when it was new ! you truly are a artist keep up the great work I love your videos👍🏼🤩

    Welding and finishing of broken tabs is excellent. This impresses me every time!
    Sewing tips for next time: wash and pre-shrink your cotton duck, then iron. That's what happened to the original: it wasn't preshrunk, the truck got left out in the rain, and the cotton canvas cover shrunk.
    When you are sewing, the most important thing is the iron: keeping your fabric ironed gives you a better looking result.
    Love to see your beautiful vehicles, the wacky sheep, and Quality Control Kitty!

    When I saw this one, I was afraid it was more rust than truck at this point; but you proved me wrong! Every one of these restorations makes me happy: I love seeing once loved and now trashed things being brought back to life. What wonderful work you do!

    I have not watched very many of your videos yet but I love the way you completely restore things instead of just fixing them or modernizing them like a lot of people do with things.
    Many people alter or upgrade things instead of restoring them back to original, but then they call them restored when they are not.
    Update:
    After watching the rest of the video I realized that you also alter things, so I take back what I said about you doing perfect restorations!
    You do PARCIAL restorations with modifications!

    Just a suggestion - for your pliers, instead of using tape wrapped around the jaws how about using rubber tool dip on them? It would coat them in a soft but durable coating to prevent causing damage and can easily be redone when it eventually wears out. Just a thought....

      @Gappasaurus 3 года назад +9

      If you watch closely during disassembly there were crimps on the inboard of the original axels to keep the wheels in place... but not on the replacements. Which makes me wonder: why replace them? Chip does amazing work, and of course it’s up to him how he wants to do so, but he always seems to replace serviceable axels & other rods but never really explains why 🤔 If it’s strictly for cosmetic reasons, they could easily be plated & polished. Again, the projects always turn out outstanding, but i always scratch my head about the axels 🤨

    • @ChipChannelRestorations
      @ChipChannelRestorations  3 года назад +22

      Thanks soo much for watching! I need to show it next time, I actually glue the wheels to the axle shafts and then let the axles spin in the body holes to roll, this keeps the wheels in place while keeping the sleeks design.

    • @Juju0LM
      @Juju0LM 2 года назад

      @@Gappasaurus I believe these crimps must have been reset, but not recorded. Because the axles has no barrier to prevent the wheels from roll to the middle of the axles.

    It looks good, Chip. Recently I was dismantling an electric heater, and couldn't help but notice similarities in design and manufacture. It was assembled with the same type of mounting tabs. It just wonders me if toy manufacturing was really that much of an influence on modern design considerations. It most likely had some affect.
