The towing company that stored and worked on the car, was trying to get an old early 50's Chevy car hauler truck running, but they had problems with the 2 speed rear end, and did not have the money available to make it happen. Of course when the driver was sidelined with back issues, that project and the "new" car ended.....think both cars were taken to salvage, imagine the same fate happened to the hauler....

Excellent build, Gary. You nailed it color wise and everything else. Looks just like the 1:1. That's the greatest compliment any replica maker can get.

John...you be careful now...I don't want you to have any HEART palpitations. The car is the BIG PINK thing behind the girl....LOL

Thank you very Mark. Yes indeed...it is possibly one of the greatest compliments a builder can get when doing a replica build.
