With a serious cold snap spreading across the USA. I was gifted with a day off work due to the intense cold (minus 40 Fahrenheit wind chills). So I set about making a start on the DS499 body.
It's a fairly simple box shape. The biggest problem is the big protrusion on the body weight that sits where one of the engine compartments is. It has to go. It's a long job to cut that off.

| The weight is also compromising the width of the bonnet. I shan't be shaping the weight to make a better shape. |
It's a simple enjoyable project to work on.
