1960s Nylint Hot Rod Roadster Toy Model A Restoration

I purchased this 1960s Nylint Hot Rod Roadster on eBay January 10th 2022 for $ after shipping. This little Model A was begging for a restoration and had obviously had a very played with life. It was missing the rear white walls, and hub caps, as well as the hood ornament, steering wheel and roof top. I love the way the little patches of yellow paint looked before sandblasting everything off, it’s amazing the way this toy degraded. While taking it apart I found the fenders and chassis had spot welds I had to grind out in order to separate the model apart. I didn’t show it, however I actually glued the two back together during assembly. I really enjoyed how this restoration came out and hope that you do as well. Thank you for watching!
