on the bench..vega mod and whelen chassis

[pdaly28]

just started this stuff before I went in for surgery on Thursday.The vega I have cut off the rocker panals and chopped the front roof post.The whelen chassis is likely #1 of a couple.Waiting on a body from Big Donkey and will be scratch building 2 more.But recovery from surgery will take a bit,so I'll post as I can

Looks like you're off to a good start Pat. Get well soon!  Tb

should see the whelen body from big donkey today,if I feel a bit better I will start on a cavalier body this week end

[MarkJ]

Looks like another great start. Nothing like building a model helps you heal faster. Hang in there and get better soon.

I like the looks of the roof chop in the front pat, I might have to try that on my next one. Nice work so far.
