This is going to be great! I have been wanting to do this car for some time myself. I have the decals and the donor ready. I will be following this closely.

It's coming along. Waiting on tires from R & M. ![](http://i850.photobucket.com/albums/ab64/tdj1951/IMG_0545.jpg) The engine cover was a be-atch... ![](http://i850.photobucket.com/albums/ab64/tdj1951/IMG_0555.jpg) 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... ![](http://i850.photobucket.com/albums/ab64/tdj1951/IMG_0552.jpg) Outside view... ![](http://i850.photobucket.com/albums/ab64/tdj1951/IMG_0548.jpg) Correct wheels but the tires are wrong. I just wanted to see where it was going... ![](http://i850.photobucket.com/albums/ab64/tdj1951/IMG_0556.jpg) 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 ![](http://i850.photobucket.com/albums/ab64/tdj1951/IMG_0562.jpg) 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... [ ![](http://i850.photobucket.com/albums/ab64/tdj1951/IMG_0560.jpg) 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... ![](http://i850.photobucket.com/albums/ab64/tdj1951/IMG_0561.jpg) 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 Craig

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... ![](http://i850.photobucket.com/albums/ab64/tdj1951/IMG_0625-1.jpg) A lot of scratch building...windscreen,fuel fillers, and decals to go... ![](http://i850.photobucket.com/albums/ab64/tdj1951/IMG_0626.jpg) Also need to find Linda Vaughn for the photo shoot... ![](http://i850.photobucket.com/albums/ab64/tdj1951/IMG_0627.jpg) Thanks for looking; next pictures should be of the finished model...

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
