1960s Buddy L Horse Riding Academy Truck Restoration

I purchased this 1960s Buddy L Horse Riding Academy Truck October of 2020 on eBay. It was missing quite a few pieces and in pretty rough shape. Overall it was a perfect candidate to restore. After sandblasting I found that the body was in really great shape with very minor pitting. A good coat of filler primer took care of the pits. The rear ramp was missing, the horse divider, the horses and the plastic top for the horse pen. I was pretty happy with how the vacuum formed part came out being only my second attempt at making a usable part. I'm definitely still learning and finding that its a little more of an art than a science. Overall I was very happy with how this truck came out. Thank you for watching!
