[pdaly28]

That body really looks good Pat. This is very inspirational. You make me want to build one right now... Great work Pat..

Thanks,I'm just really slow at this.I plan on building a cavalier whelen car to.I am using a fold up slot car body as a templet.see them at www.nymodifieds.com   I really hope to get this chassis thing down!

I had a little time to mess with both.I'm pretty happy wit the whelen body but may still take 1/8 off the bottom.After this busy week I'll make the roof,rear filler panal.And the vega is coming along slow but sure!

well,after not touching this for a month,I started again a couple days ago.It may look the same,but I cut the front clip off and built a taller one to get the ride height I wanted and get a better height for the nose.I also reduced the offset,just looks better
