Izzy I think you being that close to her is a good thing as she can see the enjoyment you get from the hobby not to mention you don't have to explain where you have been and what you were doing she already knows.

Not sure how I missed the last 2 pages of this build??? Truck looks GREAT!! I have to agree with everyone, those wheels match the look perfectly. Glad I could contribute to a great build The wheels are made from ABS plastic and the lug nuts and lug bolts are 0-80. Same as I used for my military wheels.

NOW WE NEED SOME COLOR ON IT!!

Yellow and black is going to look really sharp on that tow truck, Travis. It's really starting to come together. Nice!

Thanks for the complement. No new pics as I have been working on some other projects and the MACK has been put on the back burner for now.

I can never figure out how you work so fast, and make these amazing trucks! And yellow and black will look good on a tow truck. Keep it coming!

I have not done much with this truck lately as I sent most of it to be painted by one of our members. Hopefully I will get it back in time to have it done for the Indy show.

Thanks again for looking.

Yes they are real close to 1/16 and they are still available. Smith Miller has a web site and you can also find them on eBay but hold on to your shorts because they can cost up to or more than a wedico static model kit.

No secret it will be yellow with black fenders. The bed will be yellow as well with diagonal red and white stripes angling toward each other from the out side to the middle on the back bumper area of the bed.
