  1. 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.
  2. 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!!
  3. Amazing work by all of you. Mr Teresi, your Garlits car is stunning!! Thank you all for this thread!
  4. 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!!
  5. This is going to be a great, fun thread!! Thanks to all three of you!
  6. A very nice job on this kit. Turned out looking awesome!
  7. Nice job on this car. Love the color!
  8. 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!!
  9. 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.
  10. Beautiful work, as we've come to expect from you. Fantastic idea to build the jig and great implementation of the idea. Good job sir!!
  11. I love your work sir!! This thing is killer! Amazing work!
  12. Unreal! If I didn't see some items in the background I'd swear this was a full sized, functioning engine. Amazing unbelievable work sir!!!!
  13. Now...a couple of observations from the trip to the Garlics museum and seeing this car in person: 1.) The front of the "wedge" is ABOUT the same width as the front wheels spacing. 2.) The headers on the car in the museum come out from under the bodywork, although the CarCraft article has them coming out of the bodywork. I do have about four or five other pictures I can post if anyone needs them. I'm not sure if they'll help anyone or not, but willing to share.
  14. Okay...I'm going to see if I can make this work.
