Mister Twister

Super clean looking and nicely detailed!

The decals brought the paint to life Tyrone...Looks great!

Thanks for the great comments guys..I appreciate it! I worked on the engine and got it installed and cut some plastic for the engine bay tin.

That pops Tyrone...Good Job!

Thanks guys....Still a long ways to go. More soon.

Thanks to all for the great comments! I worked on the body this week and I enlarged the rear wheel wells just a bit and sprayed on some primer and found some bad spots that were sanded out and then reprimed. I sprayed the body in Dupli-Color cardinal red which is a Ford color and a close match to the real car. The paint went on very nice as humidity has been fairly low this week and that always helps. I let the paint set and gas out for a couple of days and harden up a bit. Then, I applied the decals that my friend Wayne Stevens, JR. (1320Wayne) made for me. I sprayed a coat of clear on the sheet awhile back as Wayne instructed me to do.. so that the decals wouldn't seperate from the backing paper. Man....Did they ever go on smooth! I was so happy to see that MISTER TWISTER name on those doors that I just about did back flips! Thanks much Wayne...The decal sheet is great! I used a few others that Wayne made because they're not available in commercial form. The rest of the decals are from a Slixx sponsor sheet and some others. Anyway...I am happy with the paint and decals at this point needless to say. Next, will be clear...Maybe this week if humidity stays low, and then, onto the engine details. Thanks and more to come.

Your detail work is looking real nice....Keep it up!

Thats a beast Tyrone...That will make a real nice replica.

Thanks guys... Maybe more updates by the weekend...Thanks again!

Thanks very much for the compliments fellas! I've done some work including making the inside door skins/tins and quite a bit of work on the front end. I got most of the front end bars in place and made some coil overs also. Its starting to fall into place but still a long road to go.

Looking good Val. Keep at it.

Nice start on your project and impressive work on the hat.

At least you know its in good hands with Stan or Pat. Hopefully....Next year will be different as far as the shows go...I haven't been to one show this year and I may not make it to Atl either.

Thanks guys....I appreciate it! I added a package shelf (because the real car has it), scratched out some coil over shocks and installed the rear end and wheelie wheels (made some springs for the wheelie bars), installed the fuel pump and I still have to route the plumbing and I added some burnt rubber debris to the chassis pan. I also added a shop rag with some tools near the battery. I'll do more miscellaneous things like the tools as I progress. I also found a trans that resembles a powerglide. Thanks for looking in.

Darn Dirk!....I missed this somehow! Great stuff as usual. You say you left it in Tampa?!

Put your great detail jobs to work here Niko....This is a great playing field here to work with!

Milner's dragster.....One of my favs...Nice job!

Outstanding.....As usual! Crank that baby up and lets here the cackle!! LOL

Thanks Brad....Check the first page of the post for an engine picture.

Thanks for all the comments guys! Scott, the rear support bars turned down where the back seat would be in most cars and attached to a piece of bracing near the rear end housing. No bars or support pieces showed in the trunk area. The only things that showed in the trunk are the battery and cables and the fuel filler. I hope to have some updates maybe by the weekend. Thanks again.

Thanks guys, I've completed the interior with the electronics, the folded down window net and finished the cage on the passenger side.

Really nice builds! You do some very nice detail and super clean work!
