  1. I've had this photo on my phone for months waiting for the perfect time to start another quick build...well its time !!! I'm using the 70 roadrunner for the main parts, back halving a coronet super bee for the tubs and HUGE tires, and the all important HEMI wheel burner. lets start with the inspiration shot.. well that's where I'm headed..so grab a tasty beverage, strap into a seat and hang on !
  2. You definitely get what u pay for..
  3. thanks for the opinion ! I actually found the papa truck for a deal at lhs ! Now to build that wrecker
  4. Love the seat pedestal I definitely think you could successfully build a front leaf spring like scotts. It's just strips of plastic stacked getting slightly shorter towards the top, then he used a plate and probably paper clip wire for the u bolts . Easy peezy . The shackles look like a couple hollow tubes glued together w detail bolts on the ends.. Either way sure you'll nail it
  5. Keep em coming ! Thanks for the blast mat info too..being from the northeast I hadn't seen them used ..only thing around here is corn fields and meth heads
  6. ditto x2 !! awesome work on the rear springs it's adds so much detail . Can't wait to see what you have in store for us on the front keep up the fantastic work
  7. Awesome work as usual
  8. Now that's a wrecker lol Ok I'm stupid what is that lifting
  9. Love that twin boom holmes 850 on mighty mo !! The heavy recovery is sweet to There's a large recovery company nearby w several heavy units including a couple twin steer petes we see on the interstate picking flopped trucks ! Love the wreckers , wish they made more possible kits of them
  10. Very cool now it's possible to build that KW wrecker
  11. Great update ! When I built devils cut the tranny was really low in back too, but worked our perfect with the read diff allowing a very low stance your appears to be sitting perfect for ! Was your pete cab from the snap pete conventional? I've been planning another rat after watching this based loosely off cut worm specialty builds , just need the right cab and engine for the proper attitude
  12. Nice work so far ! The added bolt detail and gusset plates really make your attention to detail stand out keep up the great work
  13. Snag a screen shot of your desired oil filter decal, paste to MS paint..scale down , print on decal paper till you have enough for lifetime. Selling them.is a no no , using.for yourself is fine. Most pics of the decals are easy to find on interweb search that'll pass .I've used this method for several tough to find decals, granted the resolution from paint is not fantastic but will work
  14. Kfs used to make a resin Holmes 750 that's unfortunately out of production, but does occasionally pop up on ebay from time to time. That'd be perfect for the load star . There's been a bed on evil bay for awhile , but it would need serious attention to straighten the warps
  15. Very nice
  16. Very sharp car love the color
  17. Fantastic work so far , cool job of opening up the vents and offsetting the engine. That frame is awesome too
  18. Love that chassis setup! Going to be a great weed burner
  19. Looking.good from here ! Really like how you incorporated the bunk
  20. Awesome work! Your scratchbuilding is definitely up to par looking at the wrecker bed
  21. thank you ! That's one spot I always neglect on my rig builds . Who carries the glad hands if I may inquire
  22. Awesome update, the paint looks fantastic! ! What are you using for the airline connectors?
  23. Awesome work Tom with the build ..err instructions and that fantastic paint scheme ! Looks just like the real deal sitting on your hot tub cover
