'53 Ford Wrecker Rig Rat

[Chuck Most]

Parts from over 30 different kits, several scratchbuilt and aftermarket parts, and a year or so of on and off (mostly off, until nearly the end) work, and this was what I came up with...















Next time somebody tells you fumes and sleep deprivation are bad for you, think again! ;D Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go feed Hot Pockets to the leprechaun who lives in my garage door opener and sings lullabies to the ghost of the Maytag repairman.

I just carved it from an old AMT plastic axle, then used a piece of aluminum tubing to glue it to the chain.

Man that's a sweet concept for a wrecker! I'd LOVE to see a 1:1 show up at a rod run ;D ;D
