John.... I love both that you want to build. It's hard for me to choose which to start next.. When you do the streamliner I think you should do it in 1/16th scale. I will make room on my display shelf and it can sit next to my army vega f/c when done ;)....lol.

John your work always makes me wonder if these really are scale models or real things... Great work, the paint job looks incredible and all of those little details you've put into this one are looking excellent as well. Really nice work and can't wait to see your next build, personally I'd like to see that Hot Rod, but anyway whatever you build I know it'll be fantastic.

Without a car on the back, it seems like the front end would lift the back off the ground.

Watch out for hard brakings! :lol:
