Default Re: Old tired wrecker



Got the bed mounted and a start on the supports for the booms. The booms pictured are just temporary to figure length. Was going to build the lattice booms from brass tube but got concerned about flex so I had to order solid stock. Been busy making pulleys and such. After all the boom supports are done I'll cover the deck with diamond plate, also need to build the skirting for the uprights that the prototype has. Need to find a couple small crawler winches to mount and design the two manual crank winches that control boom height. Those were always a finger pincher to use in real life, I think I only changed the boom height on the Holmes I drove once in 4-5 years!
