gotnitro?

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback! ! I'm my own worst critic so I see all the flaws..lol That's not a bad idea Mike !!

The light bar was purchased from police cars.com, and painted w chrome, gloss black, and smoke . The mirrors were scratchbuilt and resin cast , the mounts are pins I bent and installed in drilled holes. I'm very satisfied with the results even though there's numerous changes I'd made now..

I'm calling the build finished , there's some thing hugely gratifying about finishing a build I've wantedto try for so long . just had to wait for my skills to improve before whacking plastic. Let's take a walk around the truck and show what I hope is a tribute to this amazing truck. That's about it! Any feedback welcome

Stunning work! ! A fantastic tribute to bj and the bear

Thanks everyone for following along, it's been a fun build ! It's finally wrapped up I'll add a few pics under glass too

Browsing the scale firehouse site turned up several options. One I thought looked very convincing is rustoleum key lime . Here's a pic of the can Hope this helps ya out ! Swing by the auto parts stores too, a well stocked one might have other options .

Very nice work

Now that's cool !!!

I built the kw wrecker using the kw cab, the interior tub will fit with the headlight section ( cab corners ) installed. It's tight. I angled up the rear by bunk then slowly pinch the interior sides around the step "humps" it'll click in place. I left off the grill so I had finger room . Looks like a fun project so far

Local shop had 205 fresh from the mail truck, great tribute to Harry !! Good to see the mag back in circulation

Man mike that looks awesome up on its chassis!! Don't forget the basketball hoop behind the bunk !!!! Looking forward to all the chrome filling up the spaces it's gonna be fantastic

Very nice and decent price

The top one appears to be a step that can fold up when not in use Jim B nailed the bottom set

Fixed hosting issue...this stalled project is coming back soon sorry for the long hibernation

Thanks ! Now I can show the Texas bumper. . I buffed w fine steel wool then metal polish..ended up decent The lettering has been problematic, finding out gold rub on tranfers are very brittle and seem to refuse sticking to the finish.I tried 2 different sheets and same issue occurred. The white wasn't an issue. Tom B mentioned gold molotow pens so I'll use those -thanks tom Here's the truck as it sits tonite Any comments or criticism welcome

Jim your ability to locate obscure items shocks me..that and the fact you found a resin toilet lol

And better racing instead of follow the leader . Change all the rules ya want..they've taken the driving away from the athletes.

Nice castings overall can't wait to see what's up your sleeve

Thanks Gator !

Awesome looking model !!!

Thanks DC haven't seen ya much around here..thought maybe ya caught that red hand rash too lol The decals lay down easily, but assure you cut very close to the stripes cause the carrier covers the entire sheet. I ended up with a few clear blobs . Using decal solvent like Micro sol will pull them into low areas and around details.

Thanks ! It's taking much longer than expected

Thanks Jim

Your work is impeccable, so clean and detailed it's a pleasure to follow along watching them develop. I run into the same issue getting tubing and stock to look proper, sometime I just lucky guess

Tiny update for tonite..my first custom visor ! Thin metal sheet from k& s about thickness of soda can..it's extremely sharp Everything else is wrapping up but been tough stealing productive bench time lol I'll probably add the Texas bumper before long, once i practice technique on scrap, and all the finish touches . Stay tuned
