I got the frame cut an measured for the Wrecker body. I’ll be moving the Fuel tank forward and possibly shorting it. Next is to start working on the cab and stripping the Wrecker body.

Nice looking Acar Warren

I guess I am Steve just burned out on 1/25 scale for awhile. The decals go on nicely and are easy to work with.

Frame is painted. I painted it Allis Chalmers Orange and here’s a mock up. I also redone the front wheels for a more convincing look.

Looking good Steve. I like that roll up door.

Thanks Steve. Hope to get some progress going soon.

I received the new 1/32 Revell Chevy Bison for Christmas and I thought I rob the decals out of it and build one of my old Monogram trucks I got off eBay and keep the new one for a build later. I’m building this one on the debut truck from 1977.

I’ve had this Cab/Hood that I shortened several years ago thought it was about time to get it built or at least start it. This will be base on one of our local Wrecker Trucks in my home town that was owned by a GMC/Oldsmobile dealer who bought it new around 1978. The truck had a 238 Detroit Engine with a fuel squeezer which made it gutless. A local Construction company bought the truck and made it a Dump Truck and got rid of the fuel squeezer. I drove the truck several times when I work there. I’ll be adding Resin Spoke wheels from AITM and the Wreck body is from a old AMT 1/32 Kit. The boom is from a First Gear truck and the rest is the old Monogram GMC General. I hope Revell will re-release this truck sometime soon.

Great looking Truck best I’ve seen yet

Nice

Well next to me you’re on the list.

How much has been started?

That’s ok if you change your mind jump in

I understand remember you can jump in at anytime

I’ve been kicking this around for some time just wondering how many would be up to a Tow Truck/Wrecker/Service Truck Group Build? Like to have at lease 10 to start the dates I have in mind are October 2023- February 2024. Rules are any scale kit and must be unstarted or less than 10% started you can add aftermarket stuff including Resin. Donor kits and Donor parts are welcome as well. Trucks kits can’t not be any bigger than 1 ton and El Camino, Rancheros, Station Wagons, Vans and Pickups are welcome. Thanks and hope we can get this off the ground.

Very nice

Nice I like those stripes

Yes he just talked to him last Spring

Thanks for the complement I really enjoyed building these guys and yes we are filling gaps I’m really liking round 2 helping out on the vintage kits now we can build with ease knowing we don’t have to break the bank or wait for years for and kit to pop up at a Model show we got it easy these days.

Looks sharp I like that color and I think the real one did the same thing would change colors in the show It would drive me crazy trying to figure out the true color of it.

Looking like a beast nice updates I like that orange nice shade.

Yeah try a brand called Awesome cleaner I’ve tried different ones my brother says this one will get that chrome off.

Nice start I like the dual headlights and it’s to hot for me to paint but a great time to build.

Looking very nice super detailing

Very nice looks like a good Asphalt Hauler well done that third axle makes a difference in the looks
