  1. Steve: It looks out of scale, too big, but I am going with it. Brandon: I am using Balsa wood strips from Hobby Lobby
  2. Fantastic skills, will be following this build
  3. Not sure I am happy with the rear bumper.
  4. The fabrication work on the bed is near complete. Next final sand, primer and paint. The reassemble the wood floor and add all the lights.
  5. Outstanding build, nice detail.
  6. Jeff: where did you find the red/white reflective tape for your body? Been looking for some for my logging truck build.
  7. Hopefully some new truck kits but thanks for the heads up.
  8. The bed frame is fabricated, next is rear bumper/step, headache rack, figure out lights. Then on to paint and wood floor.
  9. Looking forward to see how you install the interior. Post a pic of your visors.
  10. the locating slots for the frame brackets were not square or parallel when I assembled the battery boxes. So I cut them apart, capped the ends and lengthened the boxes to clear stuff on the frame. I used the frame brackets from the steps that I was originally not going to use. Used plastic angle to make new steps that match, then added aluminum diamond plate for steps. Now the battery boxes are square and parallel.
  11. Wow, fantastic builds. Don’t give up. I have had two heart attacks, open heart surgery, then developed AFIB. Not as steady as I once was but each completed model sure feels good.
  12. not overly happy with my Molotow pen, maybe I need a new one. Used a Gundam black micro marker to get the rubber straps under the chrome tank straps.
  13. Had to laugh??, agree on the battery boxes, I will keep working with it to come up with my own version.
  14. Really like this build, great job
  15. Great looking wrecker, nicely done
  16. Thanks Roger, the https://stinkjones.blogspot.com/2019/01/detroit-diesel-8v92-performance-parts.html has some great pictures, did not know about that site.
