Hey Now... The Citrus Nationals is only 3 weeks away.... There is only (1)vendor space left to be sold out.... But we can used some Class Sponsorship... Come out and enjoy the beautiful So. California weather. As a note there is a Kit Collector show the next day in Orange County... Whoaaaa a Model Car weekend..... Fuelish

Judging from John's build and Brian's build. These are not same in my world. Which really counts because I am a Model Car Judge for most of the So. California area contest lately. That were my credil-ability comes from... Yeah they both have Merc's front end But do they have both Caddilac body rearends... I afraid not... So if Brians claims it is a caddilac rearend then what year is he replicating from? We all know that John's build is more reconizeable from the rearend than Brians build... Just because it has fins on that back... Can we say does have a 57 Chevy look??? Or does it resembles a Batman style car???. Just because a car have fins on it does not mean it part of a 50s style Caddilac.. Before I step down off my soap box.. You can bet on that Mr. John Teresi will be in rare form for the 2nd Annual Citrus Nationals in Riverside next year... (Shameless Plug) Fuelish

Hey Now... For anybody who plans to be So. California at the end of March. Mark this event on your calender. Last year there was 398 builds on the table and 66 builders show up at this inaugural event.
