This week for your consideration i have a 1970's Tonka Camper restoration. I found this old camper at a yard sale. The seller was the original owner. It's in decent shape, just a little rust and scratches on the windshield. One of the windows on the camper was missing. I ordered a new set from www.gasolinealleytoys.com. If you need parts for these old toys, that's the place to get them!
Thanks for viewing this restoration! I'm working on another project already!

Wow!!! A GMC Turbine Camper, Great Score!
I liked this without watching more than a minute, I love it! Camper and a lime green? Awesome! Thank you for brightening a morning with your superb work.
Just turned out awesome. Could an Armor-all help the steering wheel and tires? Just curious as you put so much into your work, not nit picking at all. Thank you!
rico garion Armor all is very greasy. Don’t want to get that on the paint. RS
Rusty Shepherd : Thank you sir!
Those plastic parts look as good as new!!
A SUPERB restoration job!!.. Looks better than it did when it left the Tonka Factory!!.. Keep up the great work Bud!!
Really nice restoration. Always got a kick out of the futuristic cab designs. Thanks for sharing
I know what we used to call the original color, YECH! That collapsible booth is so cool! When I saw that you forgot the windows, I snickered and wondered how far you would get before remembering. Thankfully you have long fingers. Much better color while preserving the spirt of the piece.
Well done 👍👍👍. Thanks for sharing
Just want to go on holiday after seeing such a restored camper!
Nice shiny paint job though!!
love the green good job
Een schitterende restauratie! Wat moet ik er nog meer van zeggen. Ook de kleur keuze is prachtig. Gelukkig zijn je vingers lang genoeg om de vergeten raampjes alsnog te monteren.
Al met al, dus prachtig kunstwerkje!
beautiful restoration.
I have it the same but pink in color.
Looks BETTER THAN NEW! That Neon Green color is so hot it burst into flames!
Awesome job sir
I've never seen this in green. I had the Smokey Bear Camping Set from the early 70's and the camper was pink.
I had that same model, but in hot pink. It was part of a Smokey The Bear play set, with a family of "action figures" and a genuine plastic campfire.
Nice work!
A delight to watch 😁.
Thank you 👏👏👏
Would love to see someone put a little action figure in that sealed cab as the driver sometime!
Tonka did make action figures to this scale; I had a few BITD.
Such a great job, it makes me want to go out and play with them!
Well, I liked the original color much better, but good job on the restoration.
Asome video
Thank you Sir!
Well, I tried to yell loud enough to stop before you had the camper in place. But none the less windows did go in well. I am surprised at no plastic in small windows ? BUT even without, it looks fantastic. And I like the sandblasting no matter how long ! Thanks RS for sharing this with us.
P.S. REALLY like that glitzy new intro. 👍
Amazing 🤯🤯🤯
I happen to have a pair of pliers that came in a small set that is perfect for doing the tabs. They're like two screwdrivers in design on the outside, but wider and one side can slip under the tab easily then you can grab it and bend it up perfectly. If you can't find ones like that, get an old cheap pair of ordinary pliers, and grind the grip heads down to do the job.
Awesome work as always.
SOO KOOOOOLLLL.

Dang! I know I have one of these! I have the semi with the car hauler trailer too.
Koollove nice beautiful truck
Nicely done looks great.
just like new!
Neat trick with the Salon creme!
I envy your job
A decent casting with good bones...
0:48 I like it as is lol
Easy $100 as is.
Nice restore It's probably the hydrogen peroxide in the hair product that is whitening the plastic, you might be able to save a little money and maybe time just using straight hydrogen peroxide. Again nice restore and thank you for your videos.
Oh it’s definitely the hydrogen peroxide, but the thick viscosity makes it stick to the parts. The bottle was only 3 bucks and it can be used over and over. RS
I use the 8 bit guys Retro-Brite techniques on plastics
@@RustyShepherd very interesting.
About 1976, I had a Tonka pickup truck. It had the same cab and chassis, but different tires -- they were much wider.
I realize that it is (almost) the original colour, but I am just not a fan of neon green.
Cool intro.
You.did.great.work
On.the.van.where.are.we.going.O.what.caused.the.fire.BRAVO
I got a used master built for $15 could use it for powder coat haven’t smoked any Tonkas yet.
Its a mild smoke but an excellent kick to it . All body ,lol.
if you pull the steering wheel from the opp side it pops in easy
Ficou lindo🥰🥰🥰
0:41 when a peel p50 and a camper have a baby
saya suka 👍
I wonder if he should of put windows in first ,yup..little too excited..SLOWLY GETS IT DONE
Absolutely! I even told myself to remember the windows...still forgot. 😜
They used that base truck for everything I have a plain pickup with the same base.
I was at an antique mall here in Fort Worth last weekend and a vendor had a shelf of them in all different colors and purposes. I never realized Tonka did that.
@@scottgm321 I found a pink one Don't know if the red faded or what, but it was pink all over. I say was, it ain't now.
That was crazy what happened im suprised that yu dont have more subscribers
No plastic inserts for the 3 windows in the upper bunk space??
They weren’t on the original.
Beautiful as always. So which kid took possession of this one?😉
Put the tyres in hot water easier to put back bloke
Please add in description hair conditioner you used yellowed parts. Cool
It’s Salon Care 20 volume creme. It was 3 bucks. Most salons carry it. RS
Where did that fire come from??
The powder coat paint is atomized. I got to close to the metal and the powder gun threw a spark that set off the powder.
Good job, but too bad not to find the matching original color! ^_^
Happy father's day sir
Thanks, however, I’m not a father. My Grandson s my step grandson. I guess it would be happy stepfathers day! 😊
It ain't blood that makes you a father if you take him and raise him as your own as my stepdad did me then he was more of a father to me than my dad ever was in my eyes my stepdad was my dad anybody can be a sperm donor
Should have worn the gloves when powder coating. How long were your fingers stained?
Powder blows off with a little air also washes right off.
Cool video nice restoration but after EIGHT ads I gave up
Nice restoration. Do you have a wrb address to get the windows for these?
Www.gasolinealleytoys.com
@@RustyShepherd thanks brother
Also known as toydecals on Ebay.
The colors of this model are definitely hot and close to period. Liked the trick with the soap they came out great.
11:28 Why fire ? Distance, electric arc?
Spark hit the floating powder.
@@RustyShepherd Thank's Rusty !
Is there a warning on your master built that says Tonka could catch fire?
Hahahahaha! No issues with fire while baking the powder. Only a fire issue if the powder gets into the air and hits a spark, like in the video. RS
Cose quel prodotto che spruzzi? Dato che non parli
I like that shade of green better than the original shade.
It looks more green than the previous yellow-green. :)
It's only new once.
Wrong color of green...start over
Hahahahaha!
There's a really loud hum in this video. I had to turn the volume down so low, it was almost off.
That was a box fan blowing behind me. It’s a bit warm in the shop. I’ll edit the sound better next time. RS
The audio was not bad when I heard it. It must be closer to the base tones.
oh man, I don't see green right, I hope it isn't as gosh awful ugly to everyone else as it is to me. I would have never come back with that color... red, blue even white, but never that color....whatever it may be. Could be brown for all I know
you did all that and it's still ugly... pristine butt ugly.
powdering is more expensive than painting
Che fatica ai fatto con i pezzi nuovi non ci vuole molto a farlo
Please use gloves. 😊
Come on 7:00 minutes of sand blasting too much
What's with the start stop on sand blasting and 7 minutes of it for fucks sake im out can't even finish the video smh
New color sucks
