All my trucks were sweep out and washed every day after the job. The driver who didn't keep them clean would not work for me after the second warning. Paul

THose are some great modifications you've done. Can't wait to see more progress on it. Paul

Back at ya from Maine. Good group here. Lots a talent and help if you need it. Welcome again! Paul

Papa Truck kit, don't know if it will end up as that truck yet. I swapped off the turbo and the Allison Auto for a future project, a Dakar Rally Autocar. Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki

Got the body sections laid on the chassis, the fit is less than stellar. Need to modifiy the rear wheels to move the closer in at least 3/32" each, Thin the rear ramp mount to move it forwad 3/32" and finally trim the front shirts to give the steer tires clearence. Paul Hosted on Fotki

Welcome!! Paul

1960 Cracker Box 95% scratch build with independent front suspension and four link rear axle all on height controlled air bags. 6v53 Detroit Diesel with Spicer 5 speed over drive trans. The chassis less fuel tanks and differential carrier is all scratch built and is a 145" wheelbase unit. The resin ab was modified to eliminate the standard visor. The windshield was modified to get the 8 degree "Vee". I cut the sleeper down to the optional 75"x 30"x 22" unit, which gives it a 68 1/2 " BBC. Mirror assemblies, door handles, windshield wipers, and even the can type directional lights are scratch built. Mud flap bracket are made from 1.5mm x 1.5mm heat bent into a coil. Scratch built exhaust ,air intake and "rumblebox" for the exhaust. The 6v-53 is made from a 8v-71 engine. Paul Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki

It came out excellent! Every time I look at it I see more little details. Paul

Welcome!! Paul

Too boring in white so I did it in Black metallic, added full side skirts to cover the wheels and smoothed the body and different stacks. The race truck is an Aoshima MOON Speed truck .

I like the functional fender hinges, it adds a lot to the build. Paul

That will be interesting can't wait to see that in progress!. I have another pair, and one will be a tractor unit with and extended sleeper and a giant Detroit in it The other will end up as the Papa Truck..

BELT DRIVE!!! C@@L!! What did you use for the belt? looks excellent. Paul

Started with the ERTL kit and first back dated the cab and trim to the 4070A Transtar. The wrecker body is a Holmes 750 built to FDNY specs. It is most all scratch build. This is what FDNY used for bridge and tunnel wrecks. Wrecker consists of foam unit, person breathing air, and 80,000 lb winch unit. They are only on a 95 inch wheel base so the unit can turn around in a tunnel. it can tow a loaded semi. Power is a 6V92T with an Allison auto.

Good looking colors. Glad to see the often forgotten center "post" in the windshield too. Paul
