I remember working on those White Compacts when I was in my 20's ,,some had the 6cyl White Mustang gas engine and a few had C160 and C180 Cummins.That build is looking great!

Thanks Brian,, I have a Whelen Edge bar in amber coming,,,I was going to use the red and blue one ,but I double checked my pics and the actual one is all amber ,probably put some marker lights on the diamond plate also .The winch(s) for the front are 2 weeks out ,,so I may have this done except for that .I guess a could make up a push bumper though

.................no work today,,,so I took a nap ,,and watched The Sand Pebbles with Steve McQueen,,,,for the umpteenth time,,,never gets old .....did some bench time too,,,,, fitted the fender extensions,need a little massage with the sanding stick yet as they justtttt rub the fuel tanks a bit,,no biggie .Installed the winches and cable...installed the boom/winch/outrigger controls,,,BMF on the compartment handles and scuff plates....fabbed up a light bar pylon with brass and Plastruct diamond plate-that will get hit with Revell chrome and attached to Plastruct diamond plate and that will go on top of the compartments ........see what tomorrow brings

I have a couple ,,,I use an eyeglass repair kit ,,I used those screws for my mirror brackets > Amazon.com: Upgrade Version Magnetic Eye Glass Repairing Kit, Eyeglass Repair Tool Kit with Compact Screw Box Include Nose Pads, Precision Screwdriver Set, Screws, Tweezer for Eyeglass, Sunglass, Spectacles Watch : Health & Household / Another kit that I've used for many things > Amazon.com: 600pcs Screws and Nuts, Stainless Steel Nut and Bolt Assortment Kit M1 M1.2 M1.4 M1.6 for Watches Glassess : Industrial & Scientific / A miniature spring kit > Dianrui 300PCS Compression Springs Assortment Kit 23 Different Sizes Mini Spring Stainless Steel Mechanical Small Springs for DIY Repair Project: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific / And this kit which I use the most and has the flat washers > HELIFOUNER 420 Pieces M2 x 6mm /8mm /10mm /12mm /16mm /20mm, Phillips Pan Head Machine Screws, Metric Screws Bolts Washers Nuts Kit, 304 Stainless Steel: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific

I got a miniature machine screw assortment on Amazon that has assorted flat washers,,they are perfect for "dialing in" cab mounts-height

I guess when you gotta break out the D9 the snow is pretty deep ,,,lol !

Thanks Gary ! While it won't be 100% prototypical it should turn out pretty good considering or at least look the part! lol

Sweet truck! The shop diorama during your build is a nice touch !

Paul's a good guy,never had a problem ..I've bought lots of stuff from him

Thanks Ron!

No work today.....got the pass side tank on,heater hoses and wiper arms-blades . Finessing the hood fender extensions with some putty right now,,,once thats done I'll paint them rubber black and attach to the hood...get the hood back on then we go and tackle wrecker body assembly

I was going to use the KFS winch I have for the front mount but ,, I ordered these 2 from 3D Concepts a Tulsa and a Braden ,,I'll see what works/looks best when I get 'em

More progress........got the exhaust on ,,went with a short stack and a raincap ,, I guess I always liked that annoying rattle from them,,,lol .Got the drivers side fuel tank on with the steps and ran the fuel lines to the engine ,engine end still has to be terminated,,I also have to run heater hoses yet,,so I pulled the hood pins and took it off. Also put the cab grabs on ,you cant see the pass side its behind the muffler.The drivers side tank has the combo fuel/DEF . I also ran 1/16th spacer strips on the wrecker body to raise it up a scooch ,,,,looks better I think.Had to shorten the pass side tank,,,that's been painted with Alclad aluminum and is in the dehydrator.Depending if I have to work tomorrow I'll get that nailed in and finish the fuel lines and heater hoses.I also have hood fender extensions that have to be worked in order to get them to fit

I guess I confused ya ,,I meant a 1/25th version of the old AMT 1/32ND Holmes 750 wrecker

Super job Lee!

Thanks Lee! Getting closer,,still lots to do

Thanks Brian,I appreciate that,,your stuff is top tier buddy,,,I could only hope to get to your level!

Did a bit more after dinner.........we have rubber ,,,,,,I may have to shorten the fuel tanks a bit,,,figured I should get the exhaust on 1st though

Thanks Jeff

Well,I did have to work a few hours today,had to run down to Allenhurst Fire Dept and pick up a truck,,,but I did do some this afternoon,,,ran all the A/C lines and trans cooler lines,attached the coolant and washer reservoir and now doing the tanks .

I think within the next few days I should be able to get the wheels on,,,I still have to get the tanks and stack mounted yet

Thanks Ron!

lol !!!! true in the real world too! don't ask me how I know!!! lmao

I had enough trouble getting my hood square to the cab,,,I'll let the mechanics worry about getting it tilted far enough......lol!!!!
