1964 Joustra Tow Truck - Full restoration - Antique rusty toy

Here is a new video !! This is a tow truck produced by Joustra (Jouets de Strasbourg) around 1964/65. It's pretty rusty and the clockwork engine wasn't working when I tested it.
Some parts were missing and I did my best to make new ones.
I also tried to make new decals but I'm not very satisfied with the result...

All those vintage tin plate models look simple but in reality the number of parts and their origami like assembly is always amazing and a real master work of ingenuity.

Tools are only as good as the skilled hands using them & you got mad skillz.
