Lol! Sounds like a great build!

Wow..Utica date sneakin up fast!! Tom- What ya have planned for the show? I'm sure it will be a fantastic truck like the Prostar Thanks for the feedback, I'll get more pics loaded. Working out which fuel tank to use, noticed the 1-1 only has one tank mounted below passenger door! Guess the truck has big looks, but short legs! Lol. Keep watching. .more coming!

Outstanding build. Love the color combo, would love to see more !

Amazing work!

Thanks guys! This build is sooo much fun!! Cab is soaking in the pond, it needs mild sanding after..kinda like fine pebble texture all over. Nothing too difficult!

Yeah..no point in doing it half ass! Found a nice piece of metal screen from Teds to back fill the hole. Good call on the grill! It does look more menacing opened up Date night...more updates tomorrow!

Thanks! The little details should make this stand out..The paint job will definitely do that!! What's everyone's opinion on the bumper opening. Should I change it to the huge squirrel catcher..or leave it alone?

Small update for today..The Harley Edition bumper !! The top photo is for reference only, shows the pair of driving lights in the bumper vs, the kit single light. I removed the nub inside w a grinding burr..and eye balled the opening. The final pic is the finished openings, now to box the backs, and add the smaller lights! thanks for looking in, any feedback welcome

Thanks! The build is moving along quickly

Man that's so cool looking! I have a photo of my grandpa driving a truck similar to this one we found in a box one day!! Yep..he was a Mopar man, hauler was full of fresh Detroit iron.

We have a rolling chassis!!! A cool video showed the Harley Edition engine, so a quick mix of testors enamels..we have color! The tranny still needs paint, and the engine detailed. Also the revised cab mounts are clearly seen , and the Pete tank waiting to be mounted. next up is the interior, and the custom headlight pockets. Happy Modeling

Thanks for the info! Looks like a fantastic project

Very nice! Love the color combination

Very nice! The decal work looks excellent, really sets the model off! Funny how a few choice words can make a model fall together!

No problem. .chucks tip was use the existing front mounts , then just bring the rear cab mounts to the new shorter floor! Remove the kit tabs and glue . I used his lonestar day cab post to modify the kit floor pan

Thanks! Tough cutting up 2 good kits to make this build,but everything will be used . Oh...and the paint scheme? Black, silver, and orange...and new for me...TONS of chrome!!

great looking project, looking forward to updates if I may ask..what molding rubber did you use ? Ive been using Alumlite..but always trying something new

another wrecker build!!! When word spread this kit was being discontinued, looks like everyone stocked up!! Looking forward to your build. Thomas , if your cab is seriously messed up, drop me a pm..I have a clean one your welcome to. Jeff

The cab is just sitting on the modified kit floor , working out whether to use the Pete tanks..or the corn binder set without the fairings. All the chrome will be stripped and replaced w Alclad. The kit slam locks are being replaced for a set from Don Mills which look more detailed. Jeff

The holidays were fantastic this year. I must've been good, cause under the tree was the Mobius Lonestar, and the Revell Pete tri axle wrecker !!! I already had the day cab from cargostar in the stash...time to get building !The Lonestar wrecker I envisioned looked better as a daycab, and Dave (cargostar) had the grille. I planned to utilize the front clip from the Lonestar to maintain the cab and hood mounts, and also the front driveline. The Pete frame would provide the frame under the wrecker bed..just the look I was after ! Special thanks to Chuck Most for the advice for the new cab mounts, and a fellow modeler offered a set of 32 Ford headlights .Thanks Steve! Happy modeling!

Thanks Jeff The fulton show is a great place to meet very talented builders, and the main host Gary also has parts to make these models possible. Numerous members here also attend, been fun to put the faces to the names!

Very cool..way to make parts from seemingly useless items! Keep at it, the end of the tunnel is near

That's a tough looking truck Terry! Great idea adding all the gusset and ribs on the boom. Might have to borrow a few of these ideas for my lonestar wrecker!

Excellent build! Love the comment...fermented iron!
