Like i said John,you sure this is a model?.....lost for words!!!! Rich

Oh WOW Mathew!!......sure does. Rich

Thanks Tom,yeah i like the ford better.not sure on what to paint it.custom it or keep it simple.do they have custom tow trucks over the otherside of the pond? Rich

!!!....you sure thats a model? how real it looks. rich

right,thought i would start this one whilst i wait for parts for the camaro police car project....OK starting with two kits,one chevy and one ford. i don't really like the chevy truck,bit to box like.so i thought i would mate the back end of the tow truck kit,with the front of the ford f150......and this is what I've come up with the shaded areas of the models are not being used,and as you can see went together really easy.so hopefully can get most of this finished before i get the parts to finish the camaro.......hope you like. thanks, rich

Ahh man you are a star!!!.....yes please if that's ok? Then if i use the front end of that chassis,i won't need to use those exhaust huggers then,will i? Thanks, Rich

God bless America.......

Thanks Eelco,that's really great of you.but I'm Also stuck on how to make the steering frame fit,and engine mounts!!!!.....two days I've googled,drawn,sweated,drank beer and still can't make anything work!! I really do want to put the hemi in,but it's brought me to a dead end. Is there any front subframe that could fit a 69 camaro chassis,and still allow me to fit the hemi? Thanks, Rich

i fully understand now,so thanks for clearing that one up.....i did get a jar of tamiya x-6 orange.looks close enough rich

thanks roger,glad you like it.....I'm gutted i cant put the hemi in it,but there you go.i have had to put it to one side as its getting on my nerves a bit.so started to finish off a refurb model had off my dad years ago.......pics to follow rich

Hi Dave thanks for posting the pic.....and to be honest,I'm thinking of sticking with the standard engine.as I'm having a right nightmare trying to source parts and making it fit,grrrraaa!!!!..... The hemi is from the mpc ertl dodge charger 500 kit built 2 ways. Rich

Really?......why is that?

Dont you just hate it when somthimg isn't available in your country?!...would anybody be willing to get me a can or two and post it out to me?....i can send money via paypal or other means. Thanks, Rich Ps mrmick luv your build,and it looks awsome on Those wheels.

Where could I get some of that mopar orange paint? I live I'm the united kingdom so i don't think they sell it over here. Thanks, Rich

I own a focus ST,and it's been remapped and chipped which now takes me from the standard 225bhp to the new 295bhp.which at half of the price of the RS gives me the same bhp as the RS But i still would give both my kidneys for one in the old schools RS green.mabe in a years time when they drop in price........ Rich

Ouch I've got sore elbows now!!......but that is a great way to explain somthing so simple.now i get you and have more of an idea. Thanks, Rich

blockhuggers..what are those? rich

hi guys,OK i think I've sorted out the engine set up with a supercharger fitted.i really would like your opinion,and if there is anything wrong thanks, rich

NO!!.....carlsberg is Belgium larger.i don't think there is a English larger or beer.magners Irish cider is nice,and of course the black stuff.guinness is tops.....
