Love the color. One of my favorites. What did you use for the rear wrecker bed.? Did you kit bash from another kit or did you scratch build it? Either way it is a beauty.

Nice wrecker. I like the colors. I think I've seen this before, but I'm not sure.

Hey Dave as Bob says it's AMTs Pete wrecker that was rereleased by amt/ertl a few yrs. back..it isn't a bad kit, if I did another I'd narrow the bed. James you might have if you hung out at SA about 7 yrs. ago

oh I might mention that these pics were taken after a catastrophic shelf mishap resulting in major damage and a lotta repair work
