It's coming along. Waiting on tires from R & M.  The engine cover was a be-atch...  I tried something new; I noticed a new pack of pens had some interestring curves, so I cut and trimmed them to make the bulge on the lower side...  Outside view...  Correct wheels but the tires are wrong. I just wanted to see where it was going...  Now on to the cockpit and nose! Tim |

Calvin;Jim;Craig; You'll never guess who showed up this weekend at the '65 Parnelli WIP...I'll be darned; that sure looks like....... It's Linda Vaughn! Miss Hurst Shifter! She's at Indy to promote the Agajanian Hurst Special, driven by Parnelli Jones  I've never seen Miss vaughn in a tube (toob?) top before, but it does bear the Hurst logo! I think she must be pining for the tires to get here...and the nose...and the cockpit... [  If you're gonna compete with TWLAMWT(the worlds longest and most watched thread) of the '82 Wildcat, you'll need to pull out all the stops...so Linda showed up...  Hope you like her... Tim |

Ah Tim....
Having met Miss Linda Vaughn a cou-ple of times....No "tube" top could hold those puppies back. She is a ture gift to all race fans that have been lucky enough to meet her, and of course, she has a really great rack!!! But her memory is something else! Great job on the figure!!!....but I think you need much more putty on her top, if you know what I mean...(Wink, wink, nudge, nudge...say no more!)
Russ
P.S. - Oh Calvin....Linda is more of an E than a DD if size matters?

Russ you beat me to the punch on the coment! I would've just said the model is really acurate except for the size of the rack! LOL! ;D

If there are any rules that you can't be "a dirty old man" I should be banned right away. I agree that more putty was needed, that is why I wanted a WIP.
Looking at Linda takes a little time, for quite some time I did not know that she was blonde.
Take Care

Dang; hard to believe this started in February. Since the 82 Wildcat won the Off Season Buildorama, what came in second? Oh well... After several interuptions, I revisited this build...several pieces are not glued yet, and I have a little to go...  A lot of scratch building...windscreen,fuel fillers, and decals to go...  Also need to find Linda Vaughn for the photo shoot...  Thanks for looking; next pictures should be of the finished model... Tim |

Dear "The Machine",
When you get older, things slow down...
As a matter of fact, the car IS ready; Ms.Vaughn ISN'T. As soon as her surgery heals, she, the twins, and the car will make a grand entrance.
Hopefully, this week. Stay tuned...
Tim
