Junk truck and trailer

[fhhhstix]

Here is my junk truck that I am building for indy this year so we can put it on it's side and let the guys with wreckers put it back on it's wheels.

I am still trying to decide what direction I want to go. For now I just want it drivable for Indy. Arioch bring your stuff and I will bring a can of mat clear to spray the whole body that way the chrome will be dulled as well. We will talk it over at the show.:cool:

[Losiassociated]

That thing is awfull nice to be a junk truck gezz.

[Roadmasters]

It shure was fun to roll........ and jump. Wish there were more wreckers at indy

[firefighter30]

Jimmy keeps saying he going to bring his tow truck to the shows but it never shows up. he must still be working on it.

[Espeefan]

Gee. For being a junk truck, it looks as good as any other stock Tamiya I've seen. :D

You should have beat the body up some. Make dents in it with a hot soldering iron to make the plastic soft, then push it in by hand. I'm surprised you put a drivetrain in it too. I think I would have left it a dummy.

[fhhhstix]

When I say JUNK TRUCK you have to know all of the parts were left overs from other projects no bearings all bushings and some are even plastic. I must say that the truck held up better than I could imagin even after puting it on it's side about 40 times and multiple runs over the ramp with the trailer it still drives as good as the day I put it together. Scott must have pulled this thing around with his towtruck for hours and for the record Scott did the most damage when he drove it off the bridge he broke an exhaust stack tip off but it was funny to watch.

[Izzy]

every jump made me cringe....

[fhhhstix]

We need a video of it in action maby we can get Rod to post one on the thread.

[Romelio]

Jumping a rig? Now that sounds crazy. I can just imagine all the broken pieces.

[cummingsman29]

I was jumping my cabover was ok for the most part!

Aw Travis... why do you do body work and paint, on your junk rigs? That's a pretty cool cab!

Thanks the cab is all scratch built. I like for the truck to look good to start with then it will look wrecked as it takes on damage.
