Qwit Pushin Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 John, you have to be the most prolific builder I have ever seen. While words fail to adequately express my admiration for your talent, skill and passion, I did want to thank you for unselfishly sharing your secrets with us. I learn something new from every WIP you share on this forum. I'll be following this one as well, but wanted you to know that by sharing these, you're performing a great service to all of us and I for one can't thank you enough.

DustyMojave Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Hey John. This looks like a great project! Your dad has quite an amazing project of his own. I remember meeting you at a model show in Victorville a few years ago. IIRC, it was your 1st competition. I was there with the offroad racer model group. Your cars were very impressive then and you haven't gone backwards since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Moving along at a great clip, John. The eye candy has started to roll off your bench again. Loving it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMc Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 John, this is sure to be a wild project for sure. Is this operation really based out of Ft. Lauderdale, and if so are they planning on attending Bike Week here that cranks up this weekend? I would love to see this in person. Usually right off Main st.....Near the Boothill...on the other side......look for the smoke! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry P. Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Semi-unrelated question... But do you display all of your built models at home? Where and how? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Teresi Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) Semi-unrelated question... But do you display all of your built models at home? Where and how? Harry......actually at this time I am living with my Mother and Brother.......I have my own room and all my possessions are stored in the garage......this is what happens when you go thru 3 marriages and kids.......but,actually its not that bad......I am just about back on my feet.....to answer your question when I am finished building a model it goes in a box and is stored away.......when I go to a model car show I will bring a few models out of storage......I have quit a few......but,a few I have made for friends or family.......this current build will go to Sturgis at my fathers Easyriders Saloon restaurant for display.....I sure wish I could display all my stuff........thanks for asking.

Harry P. Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I sure wish I could display all my stuff........thanks for asking. I was wondering, because you build so many of them! I couldn't imagine all of them on display... you would need a castle to have enough room for that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 John ... words fail me ... hellaciously ambitious project to tackle. But, you are da man for a project like this. Every confidence you'll pull it off in style. Waiting to be rocked ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
