Tip for next time ...... top coat the decals first with Microsol liquid decal film, clear or future floor finish, let dry then place in water

Amen to what John Shoe just said !!! Jason, your wagon is sweet !! Your are a lucky young man, I always liked Vegas, even when they were brand new on the scene. One thing I would do is put the full length front bumper back on but that is me. The cut bumperettes look better if the cut ends are capped and finished so they don't look cut.

Jason, like your dad's Vega, nice car .... Now I see where you get ideas and why you have great building skills

I second that strongly!!!

Jason, Been following this, nice work. I want to comment on one thing about your cage which is nice also. Think of where the rear frame rails are wether in the stock location or relocated when positioning the two rear main hoop supports as that is where they tie into the rear frame rails. On your build, I would have them parallel with the sides of the wheel tubs because that is where the frame rails are. Keep in mind, a cage is all part of the frame. With this in mind, you canhave the cage tubes mounted to the car floor or trunk floor but, it has to be welded to specifide size steel plates sandwiching the floor sheet metal......... I saw a build one time by a very seasoned and respected builder and he had those two supports placed on top of the wheel tubs, now ask the question what sense that makes ........................ Keep up the great work Jason!!

Steve, Nothing you can do about it. The ONLY way is to keep it to yourself. I resin cast my own masters as well, and I only share with friends I trust. Sad to say, but if your stuff is good and you put it out there on auction sites or the WWW, you better be prepared to take what is enevitable ........

Steve, I can tell you that Scotts resin is amoung THE best out there. You won't be disappointed !!

Man I like this build, everything about it is just "right" !!!

Now as far as scratch building the type that came in the MPC Pro Stock series .... get some plastruct round in various sizes and for the wheels, get some spent guitar strings off a buddy ....... Guitar strings a great for many things for models

Bil, you just don't have enough pictures lol ................ AV did have them on his 73 car ....

Here you go cnaind@ptd.net

Problem with some of the new design wheels from Revell, is they only fit the tires that go with them .... Not a fan at all with the new design

Those came in some of the AMT kits , Also the 80's issue Mon. FC and Dragsters with the single Mag/plug set ups had some as well .... I just checked

Rob, that actually looks pretty decent , and about those rear tires, those are actually some of the best looking Good Year 9x30's, they are one of my favorites, I will take any that nobody wants !! lol ...........

Most welcome ... If anyone is looking for anything, I have a HUGE magazine collection that goes back to the 50's

Looks good, I always did like these little mini Corvette Buicks lol

Here you go, May 1965 Num.3 Vol.14

I would go with the set up in the pic I posted if doing that car ....

Some used a twisted mono leaf like a torsion bar, After looking over my pics, depending on the car you are replicating, they used the set up pictured here as well as solid axles with hair pins, solid axles with parallel leafs as well ......

KILLER build !!!!

Outstanding work!!!!!!!!!!

For those who may be interested, I have posted some new items on the website. Also of note is the new 'Lace" tab on the left side bar. One other new item is a "machine turned" decal, available in metallic silver or gold, it will be up shortly as well www.whoopiekatdecals.com

If you want them custom made, get in touch, all I need are good photos to work from ....

Not my build but Doug Estabrook's but it has my decals and resin cast wheels ......
