Andrew D the Jolly Roger Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 After several years of scratchbuilding, finally finished! Pretty much everything after the cab is scratchbuilt, plus the entire chassis was rebuilt and the wheel base extended. Only complaint is the door decals are too big, but they're all I could find in years of looking. The build thread is here: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/160025-hazzard-tow-truck/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve H Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Hi Andrew, this turned out fantastic! Very nice weathering and detailing throughout. I followed along on the WIP thread and it is impressive how much work went into this. Awesome build!! Cheers, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmericanMuscleFan Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I don't know how many hours you have invested in this project but the result is nothing short of spectacular! Your dedication to the subject and your hard work is proof that great things can be accomplished when you are passionate and this qualifier obviously applies to your character traits! I take my hat off to you sir! 👌 You mentioned to me in a reply on your WIP that you made the General Lee, did you make a thread of this on the forum? I would be interested to see it if this is the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
