Mondello's V.O. Twister II restored (interview)

Not sure if this has been posted, so sorry if it has.

Those of you who know Dave Worthington (Oldsranch) in SE Dayton OH (Waynesville area) might be interested in this. He and I have been friends for about 21 years and he told me about 5 or 6 years ago that he had been in touch with Mary Mondello and that he bought the original V.O. Twister II back and was going to restore it to former glory. He said (at the time) to not say anything so I didn't and when he finished it, I was like holy hell, badass. Well, it's been a coupla years, but now Bob Powers (some of you may know him) did an interview after the Nats this year at Dave's house. Very nice history and great look at the finished product.

Here's the interview:

Nice to see the job that Dave and Bill did. I remember the car when it was purple.

Gotta include Gregg in that statement! He did all the major paint work!
