gotnitro?

Sharp work , very well executed

Very nice build ! The blue really pops w the chrome

Ditto that x 10 outstanding work I spy OD green parts..I fear some military tank got robbed ! Funny cause I find all sorts of useful shapes in armor and AC kits perfect for sub assemblies

The Roos look much better now , very well done ! Easier taking length off than adding it..major reason I suck at carpentry..i tend to measure once and buy 5 more boards lol For the side ya might try taking about half the height off , still keeping the original look just shorter ? Looking at my Holmes, theres just a small kick up in front , leaving room for the booms to swing outward Not sure where the original winch box attached, but if its reasonable, holes could be covered w equipment? Hookers carry all kinds of stuff...hey now easy squirrels..may be opportunity to add a spot for extra recovery gear

Wish I had done something more with my seats like yours , that variety of shades is perfect

Now that's awesome work! You nailed the rust on those parts Best part is how simple the technique

Hahahha yeah we both get preview pics of ongoing builds before the forums gotta have someone check work before its posted Thanks , I still need those round mirrors mounted

Definitely like the accumulated mud !!! Would those rims have the wires inside to clear the mud out ?I've seen them used on swamp loggers , assume that's their purpose. Be a cool detail to add to an already awesome build

Very ambitious project , but well under control!! Your certainly getting the cab profiles nailed down

Really nice fab work your doing !

One last bit of fabrication left and it's off to the assembly shop ! The dreaded mirrors..I decided to suck it up and make em , 3/64 rod and a mirror head from the Ollie's 4300 parts kit. Squish the ends flat, glue , repeat.. I've also reached the milestone of the build finally reaching a rolling chassis! Everything except the sander hopper and cab is permanently attached...then I remembered the muffler..oops !!! That's getting done now wont be long now and itll be under glass

Nice work !!!

Outstanding results

Beautiful hood

Looks awesome Tom !

IMO they look a tad long . Took a look at my Holmes wrecker and the end is almost even w end of bed . Mabe just a bit shorter it will look better

Fantastic work

That really turned out awesome, it definitely looks ready to work ! Add a flatbed behind it loaded down w a few of Keystones new options and its finished . pallets of concrete bags , shingles , plywood stacks anything would look right

Holy smokes that's tiny ! Even my squirrels broke out the reading glasses to see the pics lol Glad to see ya back , looks almost ready to paint after snipping the pour plugs

I have a bunch of new paystar tires if ya need em

Thanks for the link those are exactly what I was planning to use on the conveyor chain in sander...and they note it's the same sold by Grant . Awesome work on the paver

Could you share a link to the chains Hahhaha see what I did there ??

Working on a 53 also, but it's a resin crew cab Planning to fab a custom frame and drop in the weeds , your project sounds great

Great back story !!! Your really gonna have fun recreating this truck

Your doing exceptional work on your under lift !
