old worn out 1955 Ford Wrecker

[mchook]

This was an old built 53 Ford kit I had that needed something done to it. I changed it to a 55 by sticking in a y-block & changed the grill. I built the Manley style working wrecker boom & body from Plastruct & evergreen styrene. I like doing junkers, I know it's not as cool as the pristine models that are done but they're fun to do.

great work !

 Actually many of us think junkers are cooler than shiny. Done right it takes a lot of work and an artist's eye.  You've done good here!

I think you did a great job on this! I like it! The rust on the lower cab corners and fenders is very realistic.
