Title: Charlie's Wreckers
Post by: Charlie.D on December 03, 2017, 10:17:42 PM: this are some of my wreckers. That I've build over 25 years the yellow is the oldest of the batch it's 25 years old. They are build mostly in hotel rooms while traveling with work. The green one is build box stock build for fun. The blue one has all the engine details under the hood and the under side. I hope you enjoy looking at them.

When I showed off the one I built back in the '70's to those who were in the business said that the tow bed resembled a Holmes 440.
