I guess i havent posted this build here before. It has been on the back burner for quite awhile. I guess i need to mention what modifications i have done from the stock kit. I have changed out the 3 piece rotary lightbar setup for a custom made 72 inch Whelen modern LED style lightbar. Added a dragwinch on the rear deck below the boom. Added correct winch cable hanger locations. Extra marker lights. chrome mudflap weights. chrome foil on kit visor. Styrene front bumper covered with chrome mylar and extra lights. 9 inch aluminum stacks. Added the luberfinder and tank steps from the extra parts in the box. Black body with red chassis and tow gear. And now...... Finally worked on this truck some more. Put on the stacks, mirrors, spotlight, and bumper guides. Also put on the Pete and Challenger (wrecker body manufacturer) decals. Still have to have company name decals made, as well as i.c.c. numbers, d.o.t. numbers, phone number and address, and Massachusetts tow truck plate decals.

Very nice Towguy. I like the black and red. Lots of chrome too. It all looks good together.
