I have never been able to put water slip decals on... maybe someday soon I can start kit bashing styrene model making again.. I think of all the rebuilds and restorations on CZcams this is my favorite. Great job.
@@joe_diy Wow! Your channel has really grown nicely as well. You're too big to consider a collab with me now. I knew I should have done it before your channel blew up!
A beautiful job Joe! the truck needs the corner scroll work at the rear end of the tray as well for that complete Tonka look. ( just my opinion though) :) :)
Beautiful custom build. It must have cost quite a lot, but you have a toy vehicle of which you can be proud. It would be good to know where you bought the kit of pressings for the truck, and any other parts you did not get from Gasoline Alley. Thanks and best wishes.
Great job. I would strongly suggest NOT using rubber gloves and use tweezers holding the backing paper while pulling away the decal. Decals are precision work. No gloves brother. Just a suggestion. You still get a high score for not using pop rivets. 👍🏼
@@joe_diy my method has always worked for me without the oils off the fingers. Gloves are a pain in the ass with gloves. But I saw your decal turned on itself a little. I got tired of that. But every restorer has his method. I’m just telling what works for me. So you don’t clear coat the cab top? Didn’t see the gloves used on that? Just sayin.
Hay joe also might be easier putting the hubcaps in the whitewalls first then inserting the whitewalls into the tire. I’ve found that works better. 👍🏼I really like trading secrets of the trade. I’ve picked up a few better ideas as well. And I’ve found that toy collectors take no offense to other ideas. You do good work I just was sharing. And is desalle still put out kits? I did not know they ever did. 👍🏼G
Great project 👍 I love watching these come back to life. Fantastic job on the pin striping and decals. Liked & Subscribed
Great video Joe DIY! Love the decals and color combo!
Thanks Chip!
Nice surprise on a Friday morning.

Another one they should have made and didn't. Thanks for sharing. 👍😁🇨🇱🇺🇸
Huh, this one had no rust!!! That must have been a relief to work on!!!
Great job!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️
Very satisfying!! Thanks Joe. Wow, no rust, quite the departure for you. Like those custom decals also.
Thanks! Nice to not have to deal with rust once and a while!

@@ModelA I wouldn't rule that out. I have some non tonka projects in the works.
You chose a gorgeous color scheme for this project, but I might’ve tried to get or make gold hubcaps. Such beautiful paint job!
Awesome!!.. now you need a 😎 drag car to haul with it!!
Really cool, so vintage
Wow that is a beautiful truck
Truly inspiring video. Thank you so much.
Beautiful job
Absolutely fabulous!
Love it! Had to order a kit so I can make an addition to my AA Wrecker fleet!
Love the ramp bed, looks like an idea from the 50's, the paint is sweet and the decals set it off, overall great job, thanks for sharing
WOW!!! Very classy looking. Loving the decals and color combination. Wish the pearl would convey on my phone. Awesome job Joe. 💕😊💕🇺🇸

Wow! Awesome job Joe. Can't tell you how much I love that ramp!

Knocked it out of the park !!!
You should be doing more of your own custom decal trucks.
My favorite color combo, gold and white, gorgeous.
Haha my son started shouting "I want that one!" I said it's not possible. 🤣
Love the old school white and gold, great job.
Very nice, thank you

I liked this one. Really cool looking truck. Do you know where in can find wheels, tires and axles for 1/64th scale semi trucks and trailers?
Thanks! I would try maybe ebay? I haven't worked with 1/64 vehicles much.
@@joe_diy OK, I'll try that. Thank you for the reply.

Can you tell me where you got the bed it’s really a cool truck love the colors you chose thanks Tommy
😃👍👍👌✌
wow awesome is the cab a repro if so where is it from
I would have put Checker Plate on the Deck Ramp But that's just me?
Just curious why u never paint the frame black ever
Most toys usually had matching color frames so that's what I tend to stick with.
@@joe_diy I was just curious they all look amazing just wondering how they would look with a different color frame
Great job. I would strongly suggest NOT using rubber gloves and use tweezers holding the backing paper while pulling away the decal. Decals are precision work. No gloves brother. Just a suggestion. You still get a high score for not using pop rivets. 👍🏼
I hate wearing gloves, lose all sense of touch but I wanted to keep the whole thing finger print free for the clear coat.
