  1. Finished the exhaust system today, Dual 2-1/2 " from the a down pipes back, also converted to "L " arms from spoons on the wheellift. That should be the last of the big repairs, onto smaller things. Here is a finished product shot
  2. Haha, yep, got a few small jobs lined up , that way I can get some shake down runs in, see how she handles everything, then when I'm confident the truck is ready, open the gates haha
  3. Should be insured and licenced tomorrow
  4. It's a really ugly number, could buy a nice used truck for that number
  5. Its gonna take alot just to clear the insurance lol
  6. Thanks, it's in pretty good condition, but suffers from minor "sitting syndrome". Iv had it for a while now, done brakes, brake lines , bit of body work , wiring repairs and repairs to the lighting. Still have to do tires , needs some more recovery gear, the truck was stripped of anything that wasn't welded on during transport by rail, but I've got most of that replaced now. The plan is to be able to haul scrap vehicles, tow regular vehicles and do recoveries. It is a hobby thing for now when I'm not working my day job, but maybe it will grow to be more someday. Also it works as a picker for moving cabs, engines , and other stuff generally too heavy to lift, iv used it for lots of that type of stuff already. Going to use it to swap body's on the big truck build.
  7. Iv been gearing up a tow truck, for on the road tows/ recovery . Been a dream for years and is almost finished. Hopefully it will be insured by mid next week. It has NO connection or reference to my day job, for those that know what my day job is. Anyway, here is what I've been investing all my money and time into. It's almost finished, few little details to iron out. Chassis is F-Superduty (F450) and wrecker gear is Challenger 4800 twin line with wheelift. Also equipped with dollies for those AWD/4x4 vehicles or excessively low vehicles. Here is the truck, it has super low kms, and has never been worked as a commerical unit. (The gear is in like new condition) It has a neat history of being used in Montreal Grand Prix races for recovering the F-1 race cars in the 1990's. Still working out some details. But it is a huge step to have the unit up and running for the road. Now to get Mrs. Powerram trained up to run it haha, she has ran it in the yard some lol
  8. OK lol, Now it will be mandatory for me to show up haha, Me and my big mouth! I should be there , I'll be in my F450 office and wearing the appropriate office attire, but I'll be there.
