Bige37 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 So I started work on this wrecker twoonths ago and forgot to take poctures from the start! So I cut the molded engine out from the cab and chassis, fabed some engine mounts and used the engine from the billy carter chevy kit. I used some ribbon for a poncho that I wrapped around the back of the seat. I used testors metalizer aluminum on the rear deck then black washed it. I used pins for the control sticks and the white stripe and reflector decals from the 77 gmc plow truck on the cab, mud flaps and rear end. I'm making a hood jack out of guitar string. I used model car garage's under hood insulation for the hood and I found some .45mm silver metallic bead wire that I'm using for the cable! So far it's coming along nicely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabrux Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) Looking good! Inspires me to get back to my own wrecker project. Small nit, though: the truck is actually a 79-80; the box is mislabeled. Edited January 16, 2015 by kataranga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
