Come to think of it, Twin Mill would probably be an awesome body for one of the thingie shops to do in lexan or PETG...

I will try my best at carving/creating the body and maybe I can get someone to vac-form a few examples. But for the motor details, I'll prob turn to my hundreds of model kits and swipe a set of hemi's out of a twin engined dragster kit John. I think your idea of mounting the motors ON TOP of the Mubuchi motors is a good one! But I want the details and chrome of cast parts you just cannot get with vac-forming. But then the motors would be a long ways ahead of the rear axle, right? Maybe I should tie them together and drive a centeral drive shaft located inside a structural backbone to the rear axle... hmmmm? Good use for that Tradeship differential now.
But I am getting ahead of myself. Got to finish this Deora and the '55 Chevy and the GT40 projects first!

Painted 5 coats (color sanding inbetween) of a custom mixed lacquer candy lime metalflake (which kept clogging up my airbrush) followed by 2 wet coats of Tamiya clear.
Now it sits 24 hours in order to gas out before wet sanding yet again prior to receiving two or more wet coats of clear.
If all goes well, shouldn't need any polishing compound. (fingers crossed)

Wish I had some gold pearl clear... but, not too bad overall.

However, (and I know this information is worthless without pictures) my computer suffered a massive hard-drive failure Tues night. As of this time I cannot post pictures. Heck, I am only able to communicate and read my mail because this machine has three hard drives installed and I managed to load a another O.S. program on the backup drive and switch that drive to the primary and volia! I am back... but with-out my graphics programs.

Picking up a new H.D. later today and so far the old H.D. is still readable but fails when large batches of files are moved. Otherwise I might have to take it to a professional. But... hey, I am in control of my own destiny.. .right?
Pictures later!

Everything is now painted. Window glass is tinted with Tamiya clear blue to match the little Hot Wheels car. Body has received many coats of Tamiya clear with wet sanding between to the point that I am sick of it. Good enough!
Interior has been painted with a dark grey to match the H.W. car and now time for assembly.


And all assembled.

Boards are attached with double sided tape. The rest of the details are epoxied solid.


Sorry Bob, no replica shiny aluminum chassis pan.
I just couldn't get it done in time and with the Dynamic frame hanging so far below the rockers it would not have looked correct anyway.

That'll make a nice addition to someone's collection.I got caught up in a build-off on the Model Cars forum.
Deadline for the build-off is October 24 and the finished product will end up on eBay this fall.

How did you go in the 'build-off'?
