bigmikevee Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Hey John, Looking good, I really enjoy watching your builds, know this one will be incredible. A couple of quick questions, first, what do you use under the Alclad, I have only tried it once and used Krylon Fusion Gloss Black, results were pretty good....for me....but just curious what you use. Also, where did you get that cool driver figure? I have never seen one of those before, know it will look great when you get done with him. Thanks John, and as always, thanks for posting!! Can't wait to see what happens next!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smart-Resins Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Looking very good there! Body is cool! Engines are looking great! Half way there. You know I have always been intruiged by this car. I have never researched it though. I have always wondered how they steered it. Meaning, did they have two brake pedals or four levers or what? Had to have been a raped ape running down the strip and a real bear turning it at the end! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320wayne Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Awesome work John. I would say it's to be expected but this one is just so far over the top in what needs to be done. You definately challenged yourself on this one............and knocked it out of the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danno Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 John, Nothing more eloquent to say than WOW! However, the much over-used AWESOME! is also certainly very appropriate here.

brett Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Just when we though, he can't add much more .........you show up with a ton of little extra detail touches that take it out of this world. I have to say, this build is nothing short of AWESOME, outstanding work mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
