Scale ClubRedline

Everyone else did one, my turn.............

I started by shaving off the 1500 emblem off the sides...

The frame HAD to be cut..........so let's see that....

Here is what it looks like... mocked up really........

Here are a few pictures showing the detail (kind of), of what has been done to it so far/just a few close up's........

Here is the start of the exhaust..... I deleted the CAT's if you can't tell.........

So now the wheel delema. What do I mean? Well most tow-trucks have duallies in the back, and well........I don't have any........ So I guess to to make my own.....

The first thing I did was take the wheels and wheel backings out of the stock Silverado tires....

After that I went and looked in my wheel/tire bin and found, what looks like, the same size tire as the Silverado tires........

And here are the wheels and tires in all......

If you didn't notice, in the picture above, I included the wheels I'm using for the finished project (they are the ones at the bottom).... So here is a close up of them....

Here is the way I did the wheels:

I took the wheel backings from the Silverado and used them on 4 wheels, for the rear wheels I stuck two wheels together and it looks like this....

Then I put the duallies on the stock rear Silverao backend (axle).... and go this....

But here is the problem.....

So, that didn't work... So I looked in my parts box because I though I might have something that might work..... after a while of looking I found it....

To get it to few EXACTY the way I wanted I had to cut some stuff....

Before:

After:

These work WAY better.... here is what they look liek whith the wheels on...and a compair to the old and new rear ends (axles).....

Here is the finished product:

There is still alot to do with this truck:

Fedo parts of the frame,

Parts to still make,

Parts to still pain,

Body to paint... plus ALOT more...

Have a good next year becasue mine is going to suck!!!!!

Is this the same one on FantasticPlastics? How come it was never completed? A really cool project! 

Thanks. And I have never heard of any website like that so it must not be the same one... Unless someone has decided to post my stuff over there. LOL.

I just really haven't been into model lately... Kind of personal reasons really.. (The last post I made with the "Have a great new year because mine is going to suck!" or something like that was supposed to be the hint I believe...)

Thanks again for looking!

God bless.
