Becka tha Wrecka meets the torch

[Ferroequinologist]

All parts are going to be kept, so please don't ask for any. Had some time today, started to torch the rusty crusty wrecker.

Here are the starting pics

And what I got done in a few hours today-

I need a tetanus shot just after looking at the pictures! opcorn:

I speak from experience here. Sometimes the rust just wins. This coming from someone who chopped up an M756A2. I'm not a fan of rust.

A sad day as another old warrior bites the dust.

 

[Ferroequinologist]

It was working on the dust part with no help from me!

Sorta thinking (I know, a dangerous practice) bit of nostalgia/history succumbing to the 'blue tipped' spanner.

You could have sprayed a coat of OD on it and sold it as restored.
Needs just minor repairs.

Looks like that truck saw a few beach landings .....

Reminds me of Freighttrain's wrecker.....or as I referred to it......TOWMAIN.

What ever happened to FT's wrecker?

In a thread I read recently, somebody mentioned using a "rust filter" on their camera for the pictures that they posted. I need to look into having some eyeglasses made with rust filter lenses. That'd make my wrecker look a lot better.

Looks like you got a load of rust, with little bits of wrecker thrown in, here and there.

I think that beast is way past the help of that can of Kroil in photo 5.

So what is the plan? Are you moving all the good parts over to another frame, or starting with this frame and replacing all the bed sheetmetal?

Hate to see a MV go to the scrapper, but there isn't much left of this one. Looks like you will have plenty of rusted parts though.

 

[Ferroequinologist]

Good eyes there Beerslayer! If I had a swimming pool full of it, I would just drive the whole truck in and let it sit!

Speaking of FT, I thought he was banned......inside joke...

 

[EMD567]

I really don't know why Ferro is using a torch. All you need is a hammer and a pair of gloves to take that rust bucket apart.

Maybe a Fairly dull buTter knife.
