Travis, that is going to be a really cool build. Here is a similar unit at Brandeis loading a 100 ton Komatsu haultruck main-chassis.

I can personally vouch that "00" had to dig out a 35' tape measure to lay it out. His 18" rule he normally uses just wouldn't do the job.

That would be a BIG NO on jumping the tow truck but the red truck is still ready for some more action. I had a great time at the show as well. I think you and Ben will fit in real good with this bunch of guys you two are top notch and built one heck of a nice truck, and I can't wait to see the trailer finished.

Thanks Wade different pics are always welcome you never know when you might see something new that you like. I talked to Jimmy at the NJ show and mentioned I was building this and told him I was working off a pic of a Jardan and apparently he is not a fan of Jardan so I think I may be out of luck with him. I don't know which brands are better than the others in the 1:1's but I do like the look of the Jardan.

The truck has been put on hold till I get some of my other projects done. I am also working on a truck for a friend of mine and his son. Hopefully I will get all of my stuff and the friends truck done for Indy and will have time for the tow truck after the show.
