I purchased this 1961 Tonka Fisherman Camper Truck off the Facebook exchange February of 2021. This thing was super rough! I'm pretty sure many people would have just thrown this one away. It had many dents and dings, missing the fisherman camper topper, tailgate, grille, windshield was busted, axles were bend, hub caps were solid rust, white walls and tires were completely weathered out, and all of this... made me extremely excited to work on it. I've wanted to add one of these fisherman trucks to my collection for awhile and was super excited about it. I purchased a used topper and tailgate off eBay and sandblasted then refinished them. For as pitted as this truck was, after a couple coats of filler primer powder and wet sanding the pits filled in and it came out glass smooth. I had a ton of trouble trying to replicate the white wall tires and after many attempts I was able to get some that came out very well. I was having an issue with my release agent and the silicone rubber I was using, after clearing that up the mold came out super crisp. I'm not extremely experienced in casting rubbers, however I'm always excited to learn new things.
