Thanks!!! I've had a time or two I had to use rotator. Guess that's what makes plowing exciting.

I'm loving the color scheme, very Harley Davidson looking. You can never go wrong with a seminole paint job especially on a kenworth or peterbilt.

Thanks Dewayne. I have always wanted a black n orange truck. Wasn't planing it being a wrecker. Was gonna use my paystar, but the KW fit the bill. You know me. Old school trucks rule!!

Another build I somehow failed to see, but now that I found it, I am sure this will be one of the sharpest wreckers on the forum! Great color and paint scheme choice. The cab looks beautiful, and the wrecker body does too. I can't wait to see this one finished and running. You sure now how to lay a heck of a paint job too. That finish is flawless! Rick did a nice job with the cab mods. The fenders look so smooth!

Looking good! I checked in a few days ago, and now today, and I missed the whole cab! :D That is an astoundingly beautiful paint scheme! I'm sure the wrecker body will look great as well!

Looks like you have... quite the hook-up.:cool::D

Thanks!!! Dont think I'll have it done in time for Indy. Added some bling to the cab. Steves air cleaners, Travis's grill, PMD antenneas and a visor. [IMG]http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...ps8987ced2.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...ps39a7af88.jpg[/IMG]
