1959 Tonka Fire Truck Restoration

Purchased this vintage Tonka fire truck from eBay the first week of March 2020. It was covered in what appears to be laundry lint and surface rust. Overall, it was missing many parts and in decent shape other than that. I was super excited about this one. It's a perfect truck for restoration. The video was tough at times due to how bright the white powder coat reflected the camera lighting. Many details seemed to just blend in and so I found myself constantly working with the lighting to capture the fine details. Even so, there is multiple shots that I felt should have been a better quality.
