It's been 90 Days since I've posted and I've been up to a lot since then! I had to make my garage ready for some new equipment I ordered earlier this year. Hopefully I'll have a shop tour soon to show you all my setup. I purchased a Senfeng Fiber Laser cutter for the ability to cut fine details on reproduction parts as well as a Precision Matthews Lathe which was also a much needed upgrade. Now with the installations complete I plan on getting back to regular releases of new videos, hopefully with some awesome new processes. I purchased this 1960's Tonka Sanitary Systems Garbage Semi Truck on eBay January of 2022 for $ after shipping. It was in terrible shape and desperately needed restoration. The rear axle was missing and replaced with a long bolt, and two less rear tires than it should have had. Three of the four hub caps were missing, the windshield was cracked and overall the truck was extremely rusty with paint flaking off every where you look. For me the highlight of this video was making the replacement hub caps. I designed the hub cap in my CAD software, then cut the steel blank on the Senfeng fiber laser before stamping it with a set of 3D resin printed dies I created. The hub caps were then soaked in an acid bath to remove all coatings, degreased, nickel plated and polished to give them the shine I wanted. Overall I'm very happy with how this restoration came out and hope you enjoy it as well! as always Thank you soo much for watching and supporting my channel! Want to send Chip Channel something?
