Mister Twister

Very nice!

Fantastic work you're doing!

Thanks much for the nice compliments and for looking in guys....Its appreciated!

Thanks Scott, it really sprays nicely from the can and it actually lays on in a thin coat. I was a little heavy handed while spraying the chassis pan which tends to make items look out of scale but I'm still very happy with the results.

Thanks Steve, the wheels came from the Mongoose '57 chevy funny car kit and they do replicate the Weld wheels pretty closely. The paint that I used on the chassis pan to replicate the polished tin in the real car is Dupli-Color Chrome (enamel) sprayed straight from the can over the primered surface. It sprayed on real smooth and cures hard in a few days and it produces a really nice luster. The black texture on top of the dash is to replicate a piece of textured black vinyl that was there to reduce the glare from the polished dash and to help see the tree better. I have lots and lots of pics of the car inside and out so I hope it turns out to resemble the actual car as closely as I can make it.

I've made some small progress on this build and I managed to get some paint work done on the interior pan and the roll cage. I'll complete the roll cage when I complete the rest of the interior components. I installed the seat, air bottle, the Turbo Action shifter console, the fire bottle and delay box. My next work will be the raised panel (off the floorboard) that housed all the MSD ignition components and the air shifter box. I have to install the tach and the starter box on the top front roll bar. I had to remake the side vent window frames on the doors and installed the tabs for the Dzus fasteners. I cut black plastic to replicate the custom mats that were in the real car. I hope you enjoy and thank you for looking in!

Thanks for looking in and for the comments fellas....More updates soon! Todd, I've been to the Orlando Speedworld track a few times but I never raced there. Most of my racing took place in TN, AL and GA. Thanks again! BTW...I usually post five pics each time I show updates but the last two times I put up pics it seems that one picture disappeared in each post and it only shows the link code......Maybe the link was broken somehow??

I'm bringing this one back and I hope to be able to be a little more steady in my updates than I have been. I haven't been at the bench much in the last year due to a career change among other reasons. I have cut the body open and worked on some small sub assemblies like the seat, shifter console and so on. I've cut and modified a Revell chassis pan as it is a pretty close match for what is in the real car. I have the beginnings of the 14 point cage taped to the pan so that they can be painted seperately. More when I can and thanks for looking.

Nice work....That thing is super kewl!

Fantastic work Scott....WOW!

Thats a really clean looking build...Nice job.

For your first P/M attempt it looks like you nailed it. Super nice details and the paint looks a mile deep.

Updates are looking fantastic....Keep at it!

Nice work Val....Are you going to the Street Rod Nats in Tampa next month?

Another stellar looking build you've got going Tyrone...Anxious to see more of it.

Chuck, you always do some good stuff...Love it!

Thanks fellas....Where I live they would definitely write a citation....And not a good one..LOL!

Thats a great looking build and it has the right stance and the color scheme really stands out. Nice work.

Real clean build and nice pics as always.

Fantastic work as usual.....Anxious to see more of this one come together.

Just awesome work Tyrone! I talked to Wayne today and he is on the road today in his big rig but we both hope to go to Atl this year and hope to see you there. Neither of us have anything on the bench right now but it will be cool to see your stuff in person again.

Thats a real clean looking build...Nice work Jim.

Another odd rod....Great work!

I have to say that is a unique piece.....Nice work!
