Hi Mark, thanks. I just followed the trunk lines straight down & cut. If the tail lights look weird it's because I lost the ones from the kit & had to make new ones. I was going to make it open & close but I just wanted to get it finished, it has been sitting for years waiting to get done. Here's your pic...

Very nice clean build, I love that interior. Great job!

I used an old AMT GTO kit & a 68 el camino running gear, interior & bed. Had to shorten up the chassis & floor to make it fit. It's not great but not too bad either.

I love everything about it. Great job!

I love the way this looks! Very very nice build.

Nice weathering. Looks like the real thing.

Thanks, it's for sale on ebay. I never keep what I build. I don't have the room to keep them & for me the fun & satisfying part is the build itself. And thanks to everyone for all the great comments.

Cooter's 72 Chevy wrecker. I built the wrecker body & lots of other stuff. Let me know what you think, good or bad.

Hi, Missing Link has the cab for $50. You could build one from a super stones f350 cab. I did one almost 15 years ago, didn't come out too bad. I've seen your builds & I'm sure you would have no problem building one. The wrecker body would be easy to build. Here's the missing link cab & one I built a long time ago that was rebuilt by someone else. http://www.missinglinkrc.com/70s_f700_2012.htm

She's about done. I have to build an exhaust And a few other small details. I built the mirrors from wire & added a little plumbing & wiring under the hood. I had to make it dirty because it's a work truck not a show truck. I'll post some better pics under glass when I get time. Thanks for looking.

Thanks Ron. "Time" that seems to be the hardest part of building sometimes. I used to use the Midnight Cowboy kit too but they can get a little pricey so I just build them. The Holmes is what we had on our last wrecker when I was a kid. It was originally a 1966 Ford f-350 rack body truck & my father used the Holmes body off an old worn out 1960 Dodge we had in the junkyard. He used it for years & towed some big stuff with it too, lots of power in those old 390 Fords.

Wow, great weathering! I love everything about it & Foxer is right, it's begging for a diorama.

Thanks guys. I got the interior done, some paint & resin wheels.

Digging through some stuff, I found a box full of Cooter's tow truck parts. 3 built trucks with tons of missing parts. So I figured I'd build one box stock & one "my way". This one is the "my way" version. I started by stripping the paint off the cab & chassis & giving it some primer. I didn't have a complete wrecker body for it so I built my own. I don't like the way the kit one is anyway.

That's nice! Does it have an engine or is it curbside? If it has the engine lets see it.

That looks great! If you need a tow let me know.

Hi guys, I need some help. I want to add some figures to a project but I having problems painting the faces to make them look right. I can't get the eyes to look good. Tried painting them & "NOPE" not right. I tried leaving them unpainted & just did the eyebrows but that doesn't seem right either. Please help.

Make sure you make the top of the door panels worn & dirty from climbing in & out the windows.

Here's my best engine. Model A Ford, I added lines, rods, hoses & whatever else I could think of.

I sell everything I build on ebay, I don't keep any of it. I've been building for over 35 years & I wont put the words "pro built" in the title or description.

No I'm not a member, yet. Sure, use all the pictures you want, I have more if your interested.

My father & I went to look at these. We were told take what you want! Still trying to figure out what to take home.

Here are my Rosco & Enos police cars from the Dukes of Hazzard

I love this model!!! Beautiful work!!!

Any progress? I hope to see some soon.
