i am very interested in seeing the finished product

i am giving you my e-mail address   and ask only that you share a picture or two

as you go on                         garymogridge@shaw.ca 

i live in Canada Vancouver Island     retired toooooooooo

many years ago  i tried the towing business i worked on contract for a small town

they supplied the storage lot  city owned and did all the accounting   all i had  to do was impound any and all cars that parked on the cities yellow lines

it worked very profitable for me  for several years and i made a lot of enemies

the contract was never in doubt

except i learned that if you tow the mayor's car away from one of the zones

you get a lot of static  to much actually when you do your job and it is stepping on a big set of feet

the public liked it  and started to learn i was fast and efficient

as was my crew  you want a job with me you show up with a tow truck painted as specified and in good condition  and show me your insurance slip

i had 9 trucks on contract  and we were good used to practice a lot toooooooo

2 and or 3 guys would go out ogether to make sure each new his job well

i never got to the point i was any bigger    and we all went down the same day

our contract removed it was fun while it lasted 

my truck was a reo    not retored but rebuilt with anything that made it go

it had an olds engine because  it fit with the tranny  etc  you get the picture

we were called vultures   and at one point were thinking of painting the bird on our trucks

never happened we couldn't find a good enuff artist to do it

would it ever have been nice to have inter net then   

if your making this into a tow truck i would like to see it   i only like the old ones     i never started saving pictures till recently   retired now   but any way   can i get a picture from time to time

Thanks Mike, I've got the cab and chassis painted now.  I chose black and silver to match my fleet of tow trucks.  I have to design a back end for her but I already have a 1930 Weaver tow crane for it.  Next is roof and window glass.  I'm a busy girl so it will take a while to finish but It should be pretty cool when it is done!  Heather
