Peterbilt Wrecker. A Classic!

[angelo7]

Still working on final details but I can say it is finished. I want to thank Terry for helping me acquire this kit and also to Brinx (Mike) for providing me with a new set of decals as the originals were yellowing. And I also want to thank many of you who answered many of the questions I posted regarding this project before I started. There are some flaws but nothing major. I first saw this particular kit when it came out in the late 70s. My best friend at that time built it while I built a Mack DM 600. For my skill level I think I pulled it off acceptably good. It looks better in person, I'm not a good photographer. Enjoy.

Very nice job. One of my all time favorite kits and looks like you did it to perfection.

[Superpeterbilt]

What a great job! Excellent execution of the box art. This is in the top 10 builds of this kit that Ive seen. Funny thing is, thats exactly how I was going to build it.

[Sam I Am]

Beautiful rendition of a classic kit !!

[kilrathy10]

Yeah, this is a good job on this one.....Oddly, I haven't seen many of these built box stock like this one.....It really looks good that way......Kind of weird to say that, but I may have seen only one more done up this way.....Great job....

[angelo7]

Thank you!

[Brinx]

Great looking rig Angel.

Flawless paint, stripe and decal work really look fantastic together.

[tbill]

that looks fantastic, great job! you really nailed it, great work.

[angelo7]

Minor update. Changed the tow cable and added some accessories.

[Petetrucker07]

Throw more chain on there Angel, hes not prepared to go on any recoveries yet. Looks good man. Very nice work, looks like it just rolled out of the manufacturer.

[angelo7]

I won't let this baby go on recoveries Clayton. They would scratch it.

[Brinx]

Indeed the Pride of the Fleet. Only the company owner and maybe, just maybe your trusted, senior operator will be who gets to drive this beauty.

I offend wonder how this tow truck worked, then while watching BJ and the Bear where he was run off the road they used a truck like this to recover and tow him away. It was titled something to do with Wild Horses, I found it on YouTube. Great model by the way, someday I hope to build one, but as a cabover.

[Petetrucker07]

I just got 1 of these today from my LHS, for a very reasonable price. Hope mine will look as good as this 1

I searched this episode on You Tube and saw it. Really nice.

Angel, did you have any issue with dash board. Mine isnt wanting to fit

[angelo7]

Actually a little too low on the front. But once you put the glass, it is hardly noticeable. When you look at the passenger side you can notice in the photo a little slant. Hope this helps you.

[Petetrucker07]

Thanks, it does help. Im gonna try the fit again this weekend. No matter how i tried during mock up, it just didnt fit right. Maybe the glass in will help. Thanks again!
