My Waggy, Tonka restoration... Done!!!
I got the Tonka, for $5,20...  Now I will try to reproduce my Grand Wagoneer, so pretty much repaint it and put some wood on the side... 
Here after I toke it home...
Ten minutes later it was in all pieces... I notice that this one, probably because it is a Cherokee, doesn't have the rear seat...  So I can leave it so or tri to reproduce them. Will see...

Yes, you need to pull and twist them. |

Typical. Even with our TOY trucks, the minute we get them home, they're in pieces! LOL!

Looks so... For what I understand the Tonkas Waggy/Cherokee, came only with a kind of Rhino and Boobie grille.
Also the Tonksas with the boobies, came with bigger tires, another plus.
Now it is in the paint stripper... |

I never thought of taking one apart. Maybe I could put it on an R/C car chassis.
Just what I need, another unfinished Jeep project!

Thats just great, now I'm looking for one. Did you use a self-etching primer and how many coats did you use? I would expect nothing less than 3 coats of color and 2 coats of clear from you.
