Quoted By:
I just found out that the original Twin Mill had 2 castings (not the pre-production cut-fender casting either)
PRODUCTION had two castings, and I cannot figure out what's going on with them or why they are different or if one replaced the other or what is happening.
I bought these two (antifreeze and blue) from the internet this week, both from the same seller who had a ton of cars from all eras.
The frame around the base of the windshield has a bodyline on the blue car's casting.
The registered trademark and copyright logo are mis-stamped on the blue one with a bodyline.
None of the remakes have a bodyline. This makes me think the earliest Twin Mill cars were retooled. But here's the kicker...
The pre-production cars with cut fenders that are the "earliest" cars have the copyright and trademark logo on the bottom stamped in the same place as the later cars!
So what the actual fuck here, clearly it has been retooled but nobody anywhere has ever mentioned this difference in any book I've read or any post I've seen and I just noticed it today after looking at redlines my entire life.
