Iraceitall Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Thought I would share some Tonka, Nylint, and Structo builds I did a couple years ago. I built a few customs for friends and restored some for my kids. Alot of sandblasting and powdercoating, but unfortunately I was in my barely heated shop so it got old. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenmojr Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I remember these kinds of cars and trucks. I had a few in the late 1950s, early 1960s... Cool... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phirewriter Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Nice restorations. I've been restoring older Tonka, Buddy L and Nylint stuff for years. Mostly for other people but I have a number in my collection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Man...NICE. I love to see old stuff brought back instead of being thrown out. How are you doing the graphics / decals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are you doing the graphics / decals? There is a company called Gasoline Alley Toys that does quite a few reproduction parts and decals. The Squad 51 decals I found on ebay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteski Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Those are some really nice restorations. If you were able to use powder coating then you sure have access to some professional equipment. Those restored models are probably better than new! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
