that’s the coolest crafty toy restoration I have seen so far & Im 47

Thijs Versteeg

You have done it again, it has become a beautiful restoration. The paint job is also excellent.

Jeff Carpenter

I liked it better unrestored

Tonka sure made nice sturdy toys back in the day. And at least these metal ones would biodegrade well in the landfill. But now they’re all bloody hell plastic which won’t biodegrade for hundreds of years, if at all. Yick!

PrayerRider

Love these thin old metal toys of the 30’s, 40’s, 50’s. What are they made of, tin? They sure look it. Look nice and lightweight, too, and sure are colourful.

As simple as that – brilliant

Michael Nalbone

The vintage colors are appropiate.

Will Hirsch

Seeing the before and after shots, it's hard to believe it's the same truck. Just excellent! Also like the split screen for the powder coating. Smart way to speed things up without missing anything!

Tom's Model Barnyard

I really like the way you transform these battered Tonks Toys to a like new condition. What I'd really like to see is you taking battered Tonka construction equipment and transforming them into a representation of equipment used by US Army Construction or Combat Engineers.

Milan Fanas

This part is missing so I'll make a new o… I'll buy on ebay a new one 😬
