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!

You have made that truck so beautiful TRG! Thanks again. Tom

I hope you had as much fun doing this as I had watching. And hearing tappity tap tap, and snap snap. Great job sir.

This truck turned out great! Love the mug and the split screen when putting on the different paint colors.

A FANTASTIC restoration job!!... Looks better than it did when it left the Tonka Factory!!.. Keep up the great work Bud!!

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.

After watching this particularly satisfying session, I have decided on a new career path - offering troubled people SANDBLASTING THERAPY! Blast those blues away!

[jerazm]

Love watching you at work. I can tell a lot of love and care goes into each process - from disassembly to the editing of the video.

[EltonInott]

[EastTexasRanching]

OMG I need that mug. Everytime I'm watching your channel and you go to the sand blaster I yell "YAY!!" with the kids! My husband just rolls his eyes.

[spektrum]

Their is something very satisfying watching the old paint being sand blasted off, ,and then made to look like new .
Awesome work 👍👍
I liked the placement of your YAAAY mug . neat 😉

[vickiefowler]

So pretty! Would be great to put out at Christmas to hold your cards!

[thijsversteeg]

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

[williampalenik]

A very good looking dump truck again a good job done there.

[jebsails]

A lot of good tips, especially about cleaning the parts prior to painting. I was putting the Acetone on my "glutes" Narragansett Bay.

[annettemalaski]

Very nicely done! That super cleaner does quite the job. See you did put something on the tires to blacken them up! The safety corners on the levers once also!
