  1. Thanks ! I appreciate the comments
  2. Just a peek..mike 77 saved me a ton of extra work by suggesting using the decals for front curve patterns...I was rushing and used reference pics to guessimate them...bad idea lol. Here's the start before I checked them...I'm using vinyl automotive tape for tighter curves ,this stuff is super flexible . The line along the cab bottom will likely run slightly low..I'm trying to keep the line level from cab to bed. I probably scribed the boxes low to start. The wrecker body just gets a white bottom under the tool boxes..everything else is red. I'm gonna chrome the diamond plate tops just for WOW . The kit fuel tanks were binned ,pvc pipe replacement were made to eliminate those pesky seas After I triple check the masks..maybe more, it's onto its red color coat..see ya soon Jeff
  3. The tub fits right in no problem. I squeeze the door area slightly and it pops right in
  4. Started the paint !!! Grabbed a can of duplicolor Oxford white, jerry rigged a quick booth and let it fly . I'm actually really pleased how the body turned out..the victory red will definitely make it pop! ! Hope ya like it
  5. I have the papa truck hauler bed stashed if ya need let me know Cobra hauler sounds like a great project
  6. Just waiting for better temps to start color, I've decided to build a spray booth while I wait. Fumes and over spray linger in hobby room w window cracked , need a safer way to spray indoors . My health isnt the only one effected now I'll post pics soon
  7. Good catch jim gary only uses email for ordering..typo topic corrected
  8. Gary just finished the Rockwell 6 arm rear suspension commonly seen on the autocar dump truck. Just in time with the recent reissue news of the tractor !! Can u say heavy duty haulers...here's a pic !! Figure I'd pass the word
  9. Looks great Tons of possibilities with the curbmaster
  10. Exactly right , people want the suv/ trucks and the factories pump them out . My employer is a HUGE manufacturer of timing systems for most of the automotive industry. .most not all ..and we're always informed how important truck sales are . The big announcement we were excited to hear is Ford hinted about the return of the full size Bronco..I can't wait to see one first hand knowing if the Coyote 5.0 is inside...my company and coworkers produced the chain and timing components inside. Now that gas mileage has increased into the mid 20s..except the beloved Tundra....people can enjoy those trucks and suv's without the pain at the pump.
  11. Yup excellent service great products and a great fella to boot !
  12. Happy birthday dr kerry !!!! Have a great day. .well night now lol
  13. I'd bought the ram ram..but they've always had tranny problems and the front suspensions go thru ball joint/ tie rods like tundra thru gas ...
  14. Sold my 2011 tundra..loved that truck as much as it loved burning gas...2017 f150 with the coyote v8 came home in its place..24 mpg doesn't hurt either. Course the toyota was geared to work hard the ford geared for mileage..jeesh can't even drop a tool box or rocks in the bed lol
  15. I believe the challenge is a 10 yard barrel . The chain drive was common now they use a hydraulic gear box to rotate the barrel. The rex 770 or mtm mcneilus comes to mind . Nice mixer right there
  16. Jerry sells the decals too..
  17. Dave at aitm casts and sells the challenge mixer currently
  18. No offense taken Gator thanks for looking in
  19. It would look great parked next to my old Autocar you turned into a gem ! Thanks Gator
