Red's Delivery/Recovery Truck

[newt]

Here is my latest. Most of you have already seen it or parts of it, but it is finally done.
It is an AMT Ford C900, V8 gas with an AMT Haulaway Trailer. It sports two-tone paint (Model-masters Light Ivory and Testors One Coat Mythical Maroon Lacquer under a couple of coats of clear), Decals by Fish, matching bud wheels, and real light weathering. Red totally restored the truck and trailer a few years ago, to advertise her skills. Along with her helper, Mel (Melissa), Red is loading up a freshly finished Pink, pro-street 1963 Chevy for delivery. (I really need to stop posting so late at night)
The Chevy will not be a permanent resident of the trailer. Those are next .
Enjoy, and thanks for looking!

Thanks, Bob.
There is one interesting thing I want to add about this concoction: I ran across an article on a Fotki? site that showed a picture of this tractor/trailer haven been kitted together a long time ago. Does anyone have any details on that? I thought is was a bizarre coincedence...

That turned out sooooooooooo nice. Awesome details and color combo.

Hey, you wouldn't happen to have Mel's phone number would ya ?? ;D

Yes, I do seem to remember it being issued as the "Tournament of Thrills" with the truck and trailer together.
