gotnitro?

You know I love building wreckers Kerry ! They've sorta taken a backseat to the snowplows right now ..but always watching for ideas . I picked up a workstar cab recently planning a town plow..then I saw this Friggin squirrels

The paints flying and it's only 8 days into the build off !!! Man that's looks awesome in red , with the chrome great choice Well done

That's would make a fun project

Thanks Warren I typically dont use straight black for tires either . The grimy black looks very good One tip another modeler suggested years ago was to use testors us army helo drab for tires, has this brownish green hue that really looks like older sun baked rubber .

Outstanding work your doing ! Glad you chose to add frame length it looks much better . Your springs should hold the curve . Mine on oshkosh were all stacked up , I ended up just bending them around spray can and surprisingly they stayed !

Sharp work cant wait to hear your color choice Your tires dont look black..what's the color on them ? They have a hint of brown

Hopefully we dont crash the servers w all the active topics in the rigs section..their not used to this much activity lol

Awesome looking project !

Vince I think you'd really enjoy the larger scale , and as ya can see w our entries , theres a huge variety of ideas ! 20 would be outstanding and very possible

Welcome along !

Wow your project looks awesome !

Hey KJ great to see ya join us ! Cant wait to see your build. Baby due date getting close ? Seems like yesterday ours was born, and shes nearly 4 now . Definitely daddy's little girl

First off welcome to the forums ! Nope , your welcome to join the build off ! Start a post w BRBO in the heading and have fun I'll have the topic updated w your info

Dropping in a screaming Jimmy will make it sound as good as its gonna look !!

Clayton looking forward to your rebuild ! Now that's the true meaning of rebuilder lol All that pete needs is fresh paint and chrome shes ready to earn a living again

Vince that's hilarious, my eyes hurt just trying to see it lol

Very cool project ! Going with a daycab certainly avoids dealing with replacing all the rivets getting the sleeper joint clean !! You mentioned going shorter wheelbase, interesting

Awesome details

Awesome work ! Paint booths definitely help keep the spouses happy, my wife doesn't mind my hobby nearly as much since I purchased a booth

Coolest part of the BRBO is seeing all the various kits together !

Moving right along ! You found out the hardest part of big rig building, questionable instructions and flash lol Your knocking right out though . Building the suspension off the frame can help coverage just be sure everything will fit after on chassis. I messed up once not having it square and it didnt want to fit .

You scored a few brownie points for using a Detroit

Thanks everyone! I appreciate the feedback Puttering around this wknd I found a minute to scratch the grates for the hopper . Guess those days taking wood shop class weren't wasted ! I still remember how to make frames . It's just angle and rod . Few small tabs hold it from dropping into hopper

Outstanding work Warren !!! I spotted the worn tires right away, really shows your attention to detail building a logger. Adding the crane is a cool touch too ! The mock up photo looks fantastic

Welcome along to the 2020 brbo! I'll get your name added to the list, and look forward to your build ! The daycab WF trucks just look cool imo
