Great looking wrecker! What did you use out of the Talladega kit?

thanks guys. i scratch build the front bumper and the tool box. it had the same problem my 1:1 had, the frame was a bit to long ;D.  we sort of scratch built the tool box on it to, we cut off the front of an old service truck bed and welded some sheet metal to the back of it |

i had a bob ross"happy accident" when i was modifying the floor board to fit around the engine/transmission. i was heating it with a candle to stretch the plastic, well apparently the passenger side was a bit thin as i quickly melted a hole into it  . but not to fear the department of highways came to the rescue ;D ;D. i had a wild idea and it worked out pretty good  .  it's one of those little "hidden details" that you got to look for ;D. |
