Beautiful work on the details John; especially the steering wheel. And, as usual, your metalizing is as good as it gets.

Inspired work !

Man, I just love watching your builds come together. They make me want to be a better builder but my talents fall far short of yours. Keep em' coming please !

Hello.......thank you all for the kind comments........I did some work on Kurt`s components in his interior.......I made a horn and padding wrap for the steering column ........I made a radio and hand brake .........I made a "In and Out" cup that is his turn signal switch.......I used a glue cap and hand painted the palm trees and used pin striping decals for the stripes.......also made a white 8 ball that is used for his flashers .........and I made a gear shift knob and used a gear shift pattern decal that my buddy Art laski made from a photo of the 1:1 knob.......thanks for looking.

[John Teresi]

Hello......thanks guys for the kind comments.....I made engine and transmission dip sticks....also made a gas cap......and got the engine mocked-up with components......thanks for looking.

John....What's up with the Transmission?....In post 38 you show a 4 speed, with very nice detail by the way, and now you are adding a dipstick for an Automatic Transmission....This is not right....You knew that though, didn't you?....

John, do yourself a favor and do a little research on the differences between manual and automatic transmissions .......... manuals like in this build do not have filler tubes nor cooler lines going to the rad. Also would not have Park Neutral 1st 2nd 3rd on the shifter knob. Come one man, in this day and age with how EASY it is to research stuff like this ........... Thought you might have learned from the same blunder on the 68 Larson Camaro ,

John,

Any occasional lapse in accuracy or continuity doesn't diminish the inspiration your control over texture, color and contruction detail provides to me and, I'm sure, many others.

Keep on keepin' on,
B.

[John Teresi]

Hello........Michael,Alan,thank you for your input..........Bernard thank you very much for your kind words .........I got some color on the body and a clear coat.......H.O.K. white base coat and H.O.K. true blue pearl..........with RM 5800 clear coat........I will airbrush the graphics tomorrow........thanks for looking.

[cobraman]

The paint color looks Great !

[blunc]

Well, this thread took a sour turn.

I had already poked at John about his transmission details, when there was no response I let it go...

Can we just let this go and enjoy John's work when he puts it here?

[DavidChampagne]

John,
The build looks great and shows great talent.
I build for me, not accuracy. I just want it lookin good man.
You have helped me already in my build of a 1/8 85 Corvette..I am going a bit out the box on this one.Especially for me.
Keep the pics coming please.

[Danno]

Good stuff, John!

[Harry P.]

Well, this thread took a sour turn.

I deleted all of that stuff.

[Danno]

I deleted all of that stuff.

Thanks, Harry.

Just another example of why this board is head-and-shoulders above most.
This is no place for out of school attempted character assassination.
