Beautiful work!! The 70's is my favorite era of short track late models. Such variety. There were 1957 Chevy's racing against 1965 Chevelle's racing against 1970's Camaro's.
Exceptional job with a difficult kit. As noted, the Ford J-car was a development car that was used to bridge the Ford GT Mark II and the Ford Mark IV. Ford endurance/sports car driver Ken Miles lost his life in the car during testing at Riverside Raceway in August of 1966.
There are pictures, though of pretty poor quality, to be found on the internet. Do a search for Ford J car pictures.
Just freaking amazing, fantastic, awesome, stunning, stupendous, outstanding (insert adjective here) work. The pictures are just eye-catching. Great job. Truly a work of art. Very, VERY nice job with this!!
I have no more superlatives sir. This build has been an absolute joy to watch and follow along. The hose clamps are amazing and just add to the realism. This build has gone past being a model and has become a work of art. Thank you!!
The MT car appears to have some type of blower in the front of the car driven off the crankshaft of the front motor. It looks like the blower then feeds both engines via some ductwork over the top of the engines. Mickey Thompson was nothing if not creative!!
Mr. Teresi, I have several pictures of the restored car from the Don Garlits Museum in Ocala if they would be of any interest to you. They were taken in 2012 and 2016.
