Kenworth Heavy Recovery Rotator

[Vanisle]

Awesome! That's going to be a great looking truck.

[sparkycuda]

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.

Should have known that Izzy might be the driving force behind the build Pic of Travis is how Izzy likes to take pics.

I can't wait to see this project finished, because the 1:1 is Friggin amazing. She's gonna be looooooong.

[FreddyGearDrive]

Now this will keep you busy for awhile. Looks like your off to a great start.
Ok "00",lets see you knock this baby out of the park!

From our discussions the other day -he's got most of the details figured out -just hast pull it off.

[Heavy Metal]

Very cool Travis. Nice progress. Looking forward to this one....I have a tow project kicking around in my head as well. Joe

[Allbusted]

Wow what a great looking rig! I have seen other tow trucks on another board but they just look like toys this will be a scale work of art and I cant wait to see more.. And them wheels are PERFECT!

[hammer]

Travis are you going to jump that wrecker when it is done at the Jersey show? I had a blast on Saturday pleasure meeting you. Tony

[fhhhstix]

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.

Travis,

Here is one I took a picture of in Louisville in 09 It is too bad Jimmy is not around on this board he sells real wreckers and might have some pics also of large rotators...........

Nice build look forward to it when it is done....

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.

[spudd]

Hey Travis I have used jarden,challenger,century and they all have there good and bad
I my self like the looks of the jarden

[cummingsman29]

Hey Travis how about so update pics of that monster!!!

[fhhhstix]

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.
