Very nice. That would take me about 20 hours at a 2 hour a day pace. I mean, whats the rush, I'm retired and hopefully not going anywhere soon.

No rush. I'm retired too and this is what I set out to accomplish today. I had all day available so that's what I did. Smile

Looks good, I like the way you built the cage assy seperate. Gonna try that approach.

It makes everything easy to paint. I use the chassis pan as an assembly jig to build the cage. Glue everything up solid, except where it touches the chassis of course, then it all goes to paint.

I like to build up as many subassemblies as I can. It's so much easier then painting bunches of individual pieces.
