Rescue & Restore!

While not Model Rocketry related, I found these videos very interesting. Some people buy older, finished rockets on Ebay and restore them to flight.
This video is from a group called "Rescue & Restore" where old metal Tonka style toys are brought back to better than new condition.

I've never watched the curing of a powder coat finish before. It goes from a flat finish to smooth gloss in an oven.
In the picture above, rivets are set using a clamp. Notice how the stick on decals are applied, using the tip of a knife blade - where have you heard that before? 
The video finish is worth waiting for - be sure to watch through to the end.
