Steve great start should look great when its done.

Woah that's gonna be a beast. Looks like you are right on track. I look forward to seeing this one go together, especially since you plan on getting it to function. So are you gonna do gear motors and screws or hydraulics?

[pugs]

Looking good

Some side boxes, like this one might give you some more room to hide the workings??

Started on the rotator base . Not exact to the pic but this should work . The boom base will attach to the top of the gear .

OK guys this is no ordinary wrecker build trying to keep true to scale as possible . got wrecker frame made , under lift started , stabilizers started and turntable being assembled while working on wheels .





I think it's going to be best to use hydros on this with some screw drives

thanks for looking

Small update . got my boom segments made up working on screw drives as of now . I can make a pump and cylinders no prob but the valves I'm not ready to mess with yet and to buy them will blow the reserve beside I got a bunch already made sitting in the scrap . Full extension it is 16" beyond the back , a total of 32" long
