Dinky Toys by Nobleco Pullmore Transporter Restoration Toy number 982
This was a parts purchase so it came looking like this or close to.
Another shot of all the basic parts
Here we see the glue that was used to hold it together by another ‘restorer’
This is mostly stripped of paint
A shot of the underside of all main pieces
Here it is after going through my Glass Bead Blaster.
From the underside. Nice and clean. Also the finish helps with paint adhesion.
The connector plate to join trailer to cab. This is a replacement part.
Here we see the center punch marks for drilling out the remainder of the stock rivet to allow for the new replacement rivet. I only allow enough of the post to stick out as is necessary to locate the top deck.
Here you can see how little I leave for the rivet mount.
Now we are at the rear with a center punch again.
Hole drilled and rivets that I will use with tops dressed.
Primed and ready for Paint. I have a ramp for this model too.
First coat of paint.
A View from the top.
Side shot of the partial assembly of the basic parts.
Here is another view of the painted main parts. Still needs decks painted.
How about some blue for those decks and hubs.
Here she is in all her finished glory, decals applied and with a ramp.
From the other side with decals. Ramp too.
Looks pretty, decked out like this.
Final shot from the opposite side. I hope you enjoyed the show.
