Looking good don't stop now !!! Cool touch adding the square hydraulic tank Again the color choice looks fantastic. .

Stunning like everyone else has commented I've never appreciated the cruiseliner tillnow

Looking very good love the mahogany wood decking

Thanks Merry Christmas everyone

Love how ya mismatch the tires ! It's gonna be another great kw for your fleet

Thanks alot !!!! I've nearly wrapped up the wrecker body. I fashioned up an angled oil tank behind boom carriage nothing fancy ...not really enough room to detail out. Last up was the rear storage covers. I wanted plain covers instead of tread plate like on the front. Couple patterns from card stock and I had a set All that's left is a final sanding to clean up boo boos then primer thanks for following Any criticism welcome

First gear really makes some fantastic trucks in 1 -24 . Wish the kit companies would follow suit The armor guys get spoiled since most the injection molding companies "copy" equipment from somewhere else and sell as their own...then everyone else rushes to market the same one making a flood of new kits of obscure vehicles. Just this past year seemed everyone was producing Abrams kits w full interiors and engines. Places like Meng, Tacom or even trumpeter could really wow us with kits if they would invest the tooling

Kj doesn't list the outrigger but can supply you with them, I just picked some up at recent show The trailer is coming out fantastic

Very cool twin steer IH definitely appears to be an oil field truck. Certainly make a great and interesting model given the ease of locating the paystar kit

Thanks Gator !!yeah I can't find a single thing now..except the evergreen lol Started adding the flooring on the wrecker bed, trial and error won out . It's very rough at the moment but once I add the top panels it'll his my shoddy work....back to watching frozen w my daughter Always get at least one fracture in the diamond plate..this time was no different. Oh well a little gap filling sup er glue should hide

Beat me to it..was searching for the article you mentioned Thought jamie had a trailer suspension also

Oops..I didn't save the text to my gallery for ya tom..let's try again 2 words for ya..Samsung galaxy..lol Awesome build

See if my smart phone is any smarter..weird rash of photo loading issues lately

This beauty stopped by a local cruise in night..Verde Ithaca paint and triple black wow

71 olds cutlass out riding in.the sun

Awesome work

Love the color ! Truck sure does look better than when I had it , knew you'd give a proper home ! Sorry the rack turned out slightly lopsided ..the pic really shows ..oops Just flatten one side tire, you'll never noTice it lol

Outstanding work

If you'd like just the HD Rockwell rears from the dump dave over in egg harbor casts them ..aitm will easily hook ya up, just be sure to order those awesome huge tires autocar's need while your there . The suspension is 20 bucks Glad to hear the acar tractor is coming back...I swapped mine away to a lucky fella, been having hankering for another Acar

Lol sorry gotta stop by work for 8 hrs and hang out ..keeps the bank account happy ! I did fab up a set of cleats last night for the outrigger posts..guess they turned out decent

Ok..update time !! What your all thinking it's not 2 weeks later already..lol Starting the 22k drag winch mounted on the bed floor, I dug thru my top secret stash of armor parts and found a few items perfect for my cornfield engineering! A couple road wheels off a British AS-90 gave up its geared hubs,and I turned them into the drive hubs for my winch ! Here's the pile of plastic before and during construction. Maybe the pics will inspire others to find parts in weird places .the other parts are the custom wheel backers from the 72 cutty convertible. That's one side the other side I'll keep secret till tomorrow. .cause it's not finished yet lol

Thanks Kerry !! Old desk was soooo cramped I couldn't ever find anything, now I still can't find anything but it's cleaner lol

Awesome detail work It's gonna be great fun watching , plus it has a green leaker my favorite! !

Love all the work you added it'll make you much happier after its complete knowing the hrs spent was worth it! Especially after all the great feedback your gonna get from us lol

Thanks everyone I appreciate the comments! !! It's a great motivator. I took a few days break to set up a new work area, the old desk wasn't cutting it. Scored a workbench from work yrs ago, and always liked the size , so I drug it literally it's stupid heavy..2 inch thick top , and reset my bench. One thing I've always wanted was a place for the evergreen packs , so I hung a board with screws to hang them...cheap and priceless storage lol I took a while to alter / delete the outdated under lift from the pete hooker , and started scratching a newer one. I chopped 1/4ich off the top where there will be a cable way for the 22k drum winch mounted in the bed. A few plates of 015 for details and bobs my uncle Thanks for looking Be back soon
