I just can't leave things alone. This time its an old tonka pick up with a few mods. I painted the cab today and am working on the rear wheel arches to fit those huge spoke wheels . This should be a nice truck when complete.               gaz

Nice job on tubbing out the rear fenders. That should look the part when finished off. Did the boom come with the truck?

The boom is from a nylint brand tow truck . I think it fits this one better,                   gaz

Great detail and superb finish including terrific photos of excellence.

Pity the first start off picture of this blog has been corrupted from the start due to TC make over revamp.
