ok fellas, nothing picture worthy yet, but I am working on this combo.......got the trailer basic frame together and painted, got the wheels half painted, and the outer and inner box painted. I started fiddling with the cab and hood, sanding seams and what not in preparation to glue on the odds and ends before I paint it. if you guys would be so kind, I need some good side pic's of hood/cab fit, and just exactly where the 'filler' panels glue on to the cab [the squarish looking one on the drivers side, and the air intake one that is 'wedge' shaped on the passenger side] I hope this will be easier than mocking the whole thing up. any help here is appreciated. I hope to start on the frame tomorrow, work on the trailer, and finish up a 71 cuda......I got plastic everywhere lol.......

nice, now load that trailer with truck kits and head for my place

looking great Dennis, that is one fine looking scratch build!

WOW, you don't mess around! looks great so far!

Jim, you need to post a pic of your display.

that's looking great, wheels came out fantastic too....those are tough to detail in my opinion.

thanks guys, hope to have it done in a few days

looking good so far. it's like riding a bike, it'll all come back to ya.

wow, everything looks great! that grille/lights are incredible looking, well done!

looking good so far, this is going to be sweet!

making progress, got it foiled, interior is done, decals are on, rear panel done and wheels/tires on. front panel is just sort of stuck in there to see how it looks so far. not a whole lot left, but we all know how that goes......lol.

Chris, great looking wrecker! that thing is huge, lol.

looking good, that yellow really pops.

wow, you fellas have some real cool displays! I am going to need a lot more room eventually...........

thanks, and as mentioned, it is testors one coat inca gold with an automotive spray can clear coat.

Dennis, other than 3 cars and one p/u, that is all I have done in 9 months. my buying on the other hand............. I always figure a month atleast to do a truck and trailer, and so far I am only doing oob builds, I ever start detailing them, i'll never get anything done, lol. I have, by my math, 10 years worth of kits to build yet.......[and another 5 years worth of cars/trucks].

i just ordered one, will compare it to the unbuilt original issue i have to see how it compares over all.

wow, you guys have a ton of cool looking builds! Jim, i dunno, some trucks just look naked without a trailer

well, my room is too small for a good pic, but here is my almost full display case [trailers take up a lot of room....]

very nice work, this is going to be one cool wrecker

yes, I vote mercury too. good looking start!

lol, sadly, I have not been to 'the bench' in a few days, work has been hot and very busy so I haven't had the energy to even glue plastic together this week I am however on vacation next week, so some building will get done!

that is too cool, awesome idea!

I say go for it! should be a walk in the park build after some of the stuff you have been doing

love the trailer, you nailed the look for sure! nice work.
