GMC General Wrecker

[Warren D]

Inspired by the Jamie Davis GMC wrecker, this is my take.  It has a Holmes 750 where Jamie's had a 1801.  AMT General kit, frame is about as long as they come so it worked well, just had to trim a bit off the back.  Wrecker body from First Gear, bumper from AITM (now Keystone).

Very nice. That rigging must have eaten up some time.

Very nice work, the wrecker body and General look great together!  The 22" wheels look perfect.

Thanks, I tweaked the red as it was a little too bright out of the bottle.  Trick is to make sure the base coat (aka primer) is the same for all the parts.

Thanks, I can do better with the photos.  I usually just grab some shots and plan on doing a good set-up later but later never seems to happen.

Thanks, I prefer 22" wheels, the 20's just look too small to me.
