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.:)

Re: L Model MACK Wrecker
 

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:D 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!!
:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

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

Re: L Model MACK Wrecker
 

Nice job on the truck! When do we get to see more pics of it?

Re: L Model MACK Wrecker
 

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.:cool:

Travis

Re: L Model MACK Wrecker
 

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.:D Keep it coming!:D

Re: L Model MACK Wrecker
 

Thanks guys hopefully I will get some time this week to work on the primer and filler.

Travis

Re: L Model MACK Wrecker
 

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.
Travis

Re: L Model MACK Wrecker
 

Dang!!!!! Is that a hint Travis???????????

Re: L Model MACK Wrecker
 

Great job! Looks very good...!
Are these models still available somewhere? Is it exactly 1/16?

regards
Frank

Re: L Model MACK Wrecker
 

I am just wonderin when this truck is gonna be road ready we still haven't seen any updates lol

Re: L Model MACK Wrecker
 

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.

Well at this time it is up to the paint guy.

:rolleyes::p:D

Travis

Re: L Model MACK Wrecker

Re: L Model MACK Wrecker
 

:DHi travis thanks for lettin us know about your rig i love them bulldogs . What color is it going to be or is it top secret lol:D:cool:

Re: L Model MACK Wrecker
 

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.
