Hello.....this is on my workbench...... a 1/16 scale Stage Coach Wheeelstander......some of you may know Chris Sobak AKA "Mooneyes" here on the MCM Forum......he is a very talanted builder and a very good friend of mine......anyway,not to long ago we were hanging out and he showed me a project that he wanted to work on in the future.....it was a replica of the Jolley Rancher Stage Coach Wheelstander......I had seen the Jolly Rancher before and always wanted to build it too......but, in time I forgot all about the Jolly Rancher Wheelstander.....but,when Chris showed me a 1/16 Scale Lindberg Stage Coach that he bought on Ebay to make it...... I was sold......I asked him if he would mind if I built one too...... but, with my own twist on it.......I did not want to copy what he was building......Chris was cool about it and offered his help and reference pictures.......this build turned out to be a twin Coach build for both of us.......I feel bad about this project because Chris has put a hold on his Fabulous Vega "Snake" F/C build to help me with this project......he has even drawn plans for me to build this thing......I want to give all credit to Chris for helping me with this build........you could say "I am just a Squirrel in Chris`s World trying to get a nut" .....thanks Chris.......You can go to Chris`s Stage Coach build here on MCM Forum to see alll his drawings and story about his build......anyway here are a few pics of what I have done so far.......I used the Lindberg 1/16 Scale Stage Coach kit and shortened and narrowed the body......I added windows......I made a new roof .....and modified the rack......I made the Chassis using Chris`s drawing plans......I made the front and rear sections for the body........Chris also sent me some Flashpoint slicks and a TDR resin Ford truck rear end ......I also made some seats......and a front axle.....I have a ton of work to do yet but,I think I got a good start on it.......you can go here to see Chris`s post......
