Thanks for all the kind words everyone. I love the yellow & white one Tuilo, it looks just right!

Built from a vintage kit that was a glue bomb. Just fun to do, nothing too fancy.

I see what you mean. Those are some nice wreckers you built.

Great start! The new sides of the body turn it into a completely different truck, much better if you ask me. I'll be watching for more!

I got some paint on it finally. I have to give the roof a redo, I came out bad. I think I'm going give it a white roof this time.

Those are some good looking trucks! Great work!

I got the engine about done with some wiring. The chassis is almost done too, I need to add some front brake lines and finish the pto for the winch.

My computer crapped out so I just got a different one. I did some work on the cab again, I fixed the windshield & added the driprail. I did some more work on the engine too. I'll get more pics soon. Thanks for looking!

When I was a kid my mother & father always went to auctions to buy junk. For mom anything she thought she could resell & make a few bucks on was what she'd buy. My father had a small junkyard of about 100 cars & trucks but they were all antiques, nothing new & in the 70s that made everything pretty old. At one of those auctions my mother bought some old model kits and loving old cars it was a great match. We would go all over to car shows every weekend to sell moms junk & dads car parts. One of the flyers for the next show we were going to had a model contest so I built what I had, old auction junk. Didn't win but it was fun. I learned to buy & sell my own stuff at the shows to make money enough to get some store bought models and supplies. I always had fun doing it & even won a few contests. Now many years later I still love it & my daughter is wanting to learn about building too. Gotta keep the hobby alive!

Great start man! Keep going!

It's been a while but I've started working on my wrecker again. I had a problem with it being an automatic so I built a 4 speed with with a power take off, it just makes more sense.

For more info: http://www.hvhmg.org/expo.html Is anyone going?

I went to this 20 years ago & it was great then. I'd like to go again this year & figured it would be a good idea to share it with everyone else. ShowFlyer2016.pdf

Thanks everyone! I used some craft wire I had a bunch of. I just wound each row of coils into springs & glued them into the frame.

This is great!!! Love the detail!!! Now Daisy can finally keep up with the General

Another one for the junkyard. I made it look like someone removed the head & just left it, probably too much work to fix it .

I made this to look like one of the trucks my father had when I was a kid.

Thanks everyone for all the kind words!

I built the everything in the bed from evergreen & plastruct.

The boom & tow bar are scratch built.

1950 Chevy junkyard wrecker.

This is my first try at a rat rod. Model A Ford, Hemi, rust & I used an old fridge magnet for the roof. What more do you need?

THAT INTERIOR LOOKS LIKE BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH!!! IT'S PERFECT!!!!

That seat is great!!! What did you use to cover it with?

Thanks Guys for all the great feedback!!!
