mopar68 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Randy, this stuff is just ridiculous! I mean, just other-worldly skills here, I just don't know how you've done it. Seriously, how the heck did you drill holes in the linkage hardware? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest G Holding Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Jaw dropping !!! I think those wheels work perfect with this one,assuming a Wrecker bed out back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-409 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW!!! You are doing fantastic job with this Wrecker Project. Your engine detailing is perfect all in all. The body is stunning too. I'm amazed, and going to pick my jaw pieces from the floor. Keep coming. It inspires me to get going again with the '64 Dodge 330 Hot Rod.

Randy D Posted December 8, 2012 Author Share Posted December 8, 2012 Thank you Brad ! Cobra Joe, Thanks! Thanks Jim! Appreciate it Derick! Ed, that's funny!!!! Hi Zac, Gotta have those tiny bits, they actually work well. Hi Greg, I too like the style of those rims. I'm trying to make some up from brass and copper. Hi Joe, Drill Bit City... These are the best bits I've found so far. I think the set of 25 bits was about $ 20.00 Pricey but if you need small holes you don't have much choice. Hi Bill, Thank you my friend! I know what you mean , they are fragile. I will say these bits from D.B.City seem to last longer. They are extremely sharp and cut thru cast brass easy. because of how well they cut I think I use less force therefore less breakage? I did say less not any at all Hi John, You are too kind , just trying to keep up with you Thank you Mike! Hi Samuel, Thank you! Hi Rich, Glad you like it! Hi Pete, Got your pm, great looking stuff!! Really nice turnings! Hi Chris, Thank you! Thanks Chuck, Always enjoy seeing what you are working on! Hi Niko, Thanks buddy! Tom, thank you! Gotta build a trailer to towlike yours! Hi Danno, Thank you my friend Randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
