That is looking sweet!!! I like the color. Trust me, I understand camera problems. I would like to see the mural up close though. It still amazes me that these are actual working models! Yours is looking good too Dragon! I'm in Ohio myself, and waiting on the plow truck to arrive to clear the lane. I'm stuck back here. I too have a project I'm working on so not too bad.

I'd almost wreck on purpose, just to be towed!!! rm

I must add one more comment.. The sling crafting is perfect!!! I've been tossing around ideas for my wrecker project and that is really cool solution. I was going to use fabric for mine so it would "fold up", but maybe I won't now.. I am stunned by the talent that surrounds me here.. Beautiful craftsmanship GB, simply beautiful!!

Win,

Does AAA...
The moto is Auto- Arrives-Apart....

Hilltop,
Crash and they will come....

Slotcar,
Plastic sheeting and tubing is all thats needed.. Place on light bulb and it will bend smoothly

gear buster,

That C-Cab beeing towed looks like another project-X car. Love those G-Plus rims in yellow as well. Am suprised that Mr. Hilltop doesn't use those more often in his yellow builds. Although he may have fallen into a green mode as of late?

Is the C-Cab gettin done up next or is it just getting towed to the side of the shop for now?

Bob...I see a G-C-Cab-Plus...zilla

Great to see this new truck in action, GB! :thumbsup:
It makes me really want to save my slot car dollars for the auction!

The project rod on the hook is brilliant! You will keep us posted, yeah?

Ok, not quite finished yet, still have some detailing to do and I need to find the right engine to mount on the back. I don't really want a hemi in a bimmer so I'm sorta looking for something that looks like a twin turbo straight six. :D

But the paint turned out pretty nice, though this crap camera changed my metallic teal to plain sky blue and my purple pearl to maroon.:rolleyes:

Sometimes I think the smarter cameras get, the dumber they seem sometimes. I'm right with ya with the color changing properties.. Just went through that issue with my vette pics. Looks sweet DD!! Love the nose on them bimmers, and the side scoops are awesome!! Another cool custom!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

This one is rockin' too, hey! Amazing! Might be time to dig out that other failed experiment of an orange nomad that I thought I would lay a sporty roof on. It was looking entirely too much like a sedan anyway. heh!

These trucks are very cool! :thumbsup:
