thank you for your kind words I am trying to do the whole build without buying any thing and using a bunch of archive how to's

[Nikaem]

not really a build thread cause I am bad with picture taking while I build so here is where the boys are at
cut the body apart and tilt the cab

added the back of the cab detail

check the boom assembly placement

welded up the cracks in the cab

mount the wrecker deck on the chassis and get the boom mounting figured out



and there is where the boys are now

[Nikaem]

the back of the deck is to far from the ground so it need a filler


just random progress shots from here




another day gone but on another note I got all the electrics figured out and the new rx bound to my tx

[Nikaem]

so as it happens I forgot to post progress so here is a bunch of pictures this truck was never intended to be a show quality build I wanted it to look like a recycled junk yard find so I left a lot of imperfection.











will be doing the lighting and assembly soon
