mchook Posted March 17, 2023 Posted March 17, 2023 Here is Cooter's wrecker that was used in the 1st season of The Dukes of Hazzard. Scratch built wrecker parts & more, Iceman Cooter figure & 69 grill. 10
moparmike619 Posted March 17, 2023 Posted March 17, 2023 Absolutely fantastic job. I wish I could paint my models half as well as you painted Cooter! All the weathering and details on the truck, figure and entire diorama could pass for the real deal. Super cool!
leafsprings Posted March 17, 2023 Posted March 17, 2023 Wow, it looks spot on! Never knew Cooter had that low cost C 20 wrecker. Great attention to details, inside of bed is perfect!
stavanzer Posted March 17, 2023 Posted March 17, 2023 Awesome Paint and Finish! The Figure helps complete the look.
Chirps Posted March 17, 2023 Posted March 17, 2023 That's outstanding work. I had no idea Cooter had any earlier rig.

But if I wanted to paint something to look nice, forget it.

I started with the new reissue AMT 72 Chevy Coca Cola kit. I should have mentioned it in the description but I was lazy & didn't feel like typing.?? 21 hours ago, DRIPTROIT 71 said: Man that is Awesome! You really captured the look of the truck and Cooter!!

Lone Wolf Posted April 21, 2023 Posted April 21, 2023 Thanks mchook, I thought that was the most likely kit.
Street Rod Posted April 21, 2023 Posted April 21, 2023 Great job on the truck and Cooter! What paint and color did you use for the truck?
spencer1984 Posted April 21, 2023 Posted April 21, 2023 Somehow missed this before, glad it got bumped. Excellent work!

The paint is Rustoleum American Accents Nutmeg Satin straight out of the can. I wasn't sure about it at first but it grew on me.
