1977 GMC Wrecker DONE

[bobss396]

Finally finished it up. I'm also happy with it.

The engine, brake booster/master and shifter are VCG Resins. Wheels and tires are Jay's Resin Wheels. Boom and tow truck parts are from a lot I picked up on eBay. Paint is Tamiya, I went with Ace Hardware gray on the chassis since it holds up to being manhandled. The grille was opened from the back. Decals are Chimneyville. 

The front bumper and tow plate are 100% scratch built. Light Bar is an AMT parts pack item.

I have another in the works started in 1999.

Amazing how a few resin part and a lot of work will do the make an already good model outstanding. Those big fat tires sure look good on it.

Great looking body conversion and paint work.

Beautiful build! Loving the blue…

Jay's wheels and tires are always good. Those look perfect on this one. Awesome work on that bumper... looks like it's up to the job of pushing another vehicle and/or light demolition work. ?

What an enjoyable looking build. Thanks for posting it.

Great use of aftermarket parts to create something unique.

One of the best things to me, is how you opened up the grille. That makes a huge difference.
