I started this about twenty years or more. Started with a Revell Black Magic rig and added the AMT wrecker body to it. Stretched the frame, poorly back then!!! She was a little bent, re cut the frame and pulled it straight!! Frame is stretched about an inch and a half.
Right now I'm working on getting chrome parts ready for re plating, frame is ready for paint, got a new set of rubbers for it, I used to have a good supply of parts for rigs now I don't have anything extra so it's a little tough getting back into rigs and not having extra bits to play with!!! I'll build up a supply again though!!!
At first I didn't know if I wanted to build this all weathered out, with the chrome worn off and tires that were rotted to no use and the stains in the bed area from getting wet here and there... But I've decided on bringing her back to show and shine!!! Not sure on color choices yet but leaning towards yellow or red so far...
I know this isn't much for a starting photo but this is where it was left off from 20 plus years ago... Body is all stripped as is the chrome.... Now starts the rebuild... I haven't played with trucks in many years so if I'm doing something wrong please let me know!!!!!! Comments and criticism welcome!!!
