The Tonka restoration shop has been busy over the last couple of days on a few more of my old Tonka trucks from my childhood.

I wrote a sign on a scrap of paper that read: TOO, TWO O's!!!, and my sister held it up to the window as we passed the driver. I don't think she noticed, but we got a kick out of it!Saw this on the freeway today.

^ When you say the "tonka restoration shop" ....are you actually taking them somewhere or are you doing them?
It is really cool that these were your actual toys from childhood.
I'm curious as to the value of reconditioned tonkas. Do they go up in value if reconditioned? I realize that in mint original condition is best ...but do reconditioned tonkas have any monetary value or is it all emotional? I ask because i collect vintage Barbie dolls (my childhood toy) and there is a line that gets crossed as far as what work is done and how much work is done.

Those are AWESOME!!! Some of my favorite childhood memories revolve around my Tonkas. Each year, my grandparents would get "the boys" a different Tonka. I had quite a collection. Nice restoration jobs.![]()
The Morgantown NC Community Center. My sisters college graduation party was held here. Pretty neat place.
