Here is the Revell ' 66 Chevy that is the Red's Orchard kit.  I built it stock to be a trailer puller for Anne's Modified that we showed yesterday. 

It is brush painted, I moved the spare tire to the bed just to be different, and cheated on the bed flooring, in that rather than use the decal, I just glued it in on the backing paper.  I am old enough now to take a lot of short cuts.  Glued the tag on that way too.

We will try to show those pictures soon.  The trailer is the Testor's metal kit, given to me by a friend.

I have really come  to like this series of Chevy trucks, and this is my third one to build.  I had a 1:1 '64 years ago, and wish I could  have another one now to fix up.

Please see related topic  "  Tow Truck -  Add on "  Pictures of all my latest models.

 :) Thanks, Rett.  We still don't have the posting down right, but will try some more.

I have a picture of the truck, trailer, and racer together which we will try to get on soon.  We still have other business to tend to.

Hope to put a tire rack on the trailer, before I move on too far ahead on something else.  You know how that goes.
