About us?
We aim to show you what we know! helping the "average Joe" complete their very own project, step by step. Knowledge sharing !
Here at TMC we love to SAVE and work on classic cars, which include Valiant Chargers, Holden commodore, Ford Fairlane & falcon, even JDM stuff like Toyota Corolla, Daihatsu, lancer, Silvia, skyline, 240sx, Silvia and Celica! And what else we can get our hands on!
We are trying to save what ever we can, I've owned a Ford XB coupe, I currently own a XW XY falcon too, all have big plans to come... We have engine swaps coming, like the 440BB, 360 dodge block, and even a 5.7 Hemi that's going into my VJ charger!
so stick around and give us a Sub to follow along and ill try to teach you what i know in DIY style for the everyday home car builder! We will show Rust repair, spray painting, body work, and general restoration tips as we go!
thanks for your time! Cheers 🍻✌

Will be updating you all with the finished product installed when I finished, besides the snake it was pretty easy to attempt! So have a go with your own dash, let me know below if you have done something similar!

[@damianjackson9084]

That came out awesome, that snake wouldve been the end of me not knowing where it went ,your personality is why i keep coming back i like the relaxed approach.

[@TwistedMetalCustoms]

Ahhh thanks Damo! means a lot to me mate! yeah i was actually freaking out a bit while i was editing, i was so jumpy haha , i moved outside for a few hrs and left the doors open hoping it went outside! Cheers fot your constant support and comments mate, Bloody Legend 🍻

[@jamesreardon8585]

Awesome job Twisty!!!

[@jamesreardon8585]

Audio is working brilliantly mate

[@TwistedMetalCustoms]

i think i fixed it, it may have been the cord going from the receiver to the gopro.. so far so good!

[@jamesreardon8585]

Shared to all my Facebook friends and recommended they subscribe mate, good luck!

[@TwistedMetalCustoms]

[@goldshiftgarage]

another good EP mate, i love the way you just have a go at home. good luck wrangling that snake to 👍

[@TwistedMetalCustoms]

thanks Legend, yeah right back at you mate the ute is coming up nicely!

[@ChrisArmstrong-ir3fg]

Well done Twisty, You probably couldn’t find a harder shaped dash to learn from haha!! Thanks for showing us a new skill, as you said, these projects aren’t cheap. I get more satisfaction from giving every thing a go myself, Cheers mouse

[@TwistedMetalCustoms]

Hey mouse! Hope you have been well!? Yeah I reckon! But even after doing 1 time, I think I could get it on without wrinkles next time, just by learning, definitely not cheap either haha, cheers matey 👍

[@animal_engineering]

good job bud, will share around. maybe my personality is my problem, ha ha.

[@TwistedMetalCustoms]

haha yeah not everyone like my personality haha, but cheers for sharing mate i appreciate it!!

[@bogader89]

nice work mate real good for a first go

[@TwistedMetalCustoms]

Thanks Bogader! I'm thinking i may take it off and attempt it again now i know what I'm doing kind of, I reckon I can get those stretch marks out this time

[@PeckerwoodKustoms]

Great vid man...love a fellow Aussie having a crack...its all about saving some dollars... Good job on your first time out with the vinyl, as you found out, good adhesive and patience is key. Nice garage by the way , early Commo, Charger and a coupe!! Guess the soldering iron burn is better than the brown snake mate...thats gonna hurt like a bastard for a while too...I just subbed, Im out from Brisbane and trying to get motivated to get my channel going with my Barracuda

[@TwistedMetalCustoms]

Hey PeckerwoodKustoms! cheers mate, yeah mate i have a few and the rest in the other sheds haha, all projects though.. thanks for the sub matey, ill check out your channel too, keep at your channel, it takes a lot of work but for me the comments and interactions are what drives me to do more, i'd like to see you do your Cuda!

[@peterjoyce4892]

Nice one Twisty looks great bro! Did you manage to evict the brown snake from the shed?👍

[@TwistedMetalCustoms]

Hey Joycey!! Thanks for watching mate, nope!!! It still is around somewhere 😅😔

[@maxd4196]

Good job.

[@TwistedMetalCustoms]

Thanks Max! 🍻

[@renatovieiramachado7892]

Buddy, how is after 4 months?

[@TwistedMetalCustoms]

i actually ran out of glue at the end of this video, and by the time i came back to it a few weeks later i decided to take it off and do some customisation to the dash haha.. the 2nd time i ended up using Raptor coat thinned down and it came up awesome, great factory texture, ill try to do another dash with raptor and record it for you 🍻

[@danielwatson2910]

I brought a cheap plastic welder / hot staple thingo off eBay that would have worked a treat on this dash.

[@TwistedMetalCustoms]

nice, how did it go? if i was doing this more then i'd probably buy one too if they work well

[@danielwatson2910]

@@TwistedMetalCustoms sorry I should have been clearer. I’ve used it on other plastic repair and think that it would have worked for you in what you were doing.

[@russelblackwell6041]

Spray the adhesive on both surfaces when its stringy fit and smooth out i tried to repair hood lining using the same product as you it failed because i only applied it to the pressed cardboard not the material wasnt long the material sagged again too another idea not relevant to this video any damaged door cards with the Masonite back if there split or clip holes chewed out my father would soak a strip of CHUX cleaning cloths red or blue colour in fibreglass resin then lay flat over repair feather out the resin flat the resin soaks in well to the Masonite you can redrill out the hole for the clip also for splits the repair is thin so the door card or trim don't bulge on fitment did it on an old XB falcon door card years ago

[@TwistedMetalCustoms]

Hey Russ! thanks for the info mate!! i applied it to both surfaces on this dash but i think i didn't apply enough as i only had 1 can and i was being stingy hahaha.. but that's a great idea with the chux cloths! good one, cheers for the comment mate 🍻

[@stigmata454]

That came up really nice. Did you find that brownie?

[@TwistedMetalCustoms]

Thanks mate, will look 100% when it's fully completed! Nope!! It's still around somewhere!! Hopefully it left haha

[@russellbanfield1704]

Great job. Did you find the snake or is it still in there with you somewhere?

[@TwistedMetalCustoms]

IT'S STILL IN THERE!!!! i tried looking for ages haha, that's why i moved outside for a few hours haha
