JARRNO88 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 It took me about two years to build but I finally completed it. I used the AMT R685 MACK kit , The wrecker from the AMT 359 wrecker kit . I extended the frame, narrowed the wrecker body a good bit to make it the same width as the rear wheels. I also collected alot of photos and other info off the web and did most of all the plumbing on the engine and chassis. I am now starting to build the 359 from the wrecker kit and the REVELL PETERBUILT 359 snap kit to build A 1980 PETE 359. I am going to try to complete the PETE 359 in less time than it took me to build the wrecker, JARRNO88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
