landman Posted January 4 Almost ready for primer. I found some hooks on some junk frame rails, those will be added to the ends of the tube. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AmericanMuscleFan Posted January 13 It doesn't matter which cab you choose, it's to put your great job on the twin-boom wrecker up front (even if it's in the back...)!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
misterNNL Posted January 14 For those attempting this or any other build requiring gears, I have an unusual source for finding nearly a dozen gears in one place. I will list the sizes in the "tips and tricks" section in a few minutes for those interested. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GLMFAA1 Posted January 15 Got a chance to dig out the ALF/Holmes and took a shot of the boom lock. I cheated and did not use Phil's plan on the lock. I used a simple C channel with a single piece from the other boom to fit inside and then pinned it through a hole hope this helps. greg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
