Kustom Rodder Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Lookin great john cant wait to see the body in color.
Mooneyzs Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 John... Awesome update to this. That front end is going to look nice once you get the rest of your Teresi Touch to it. I can not wait to see what you do to the detail of the engine. Keep up the great work!!
DrKerry Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 That front end is the cats meow John...... Man that is kool!!!!!!!!!
John Teresi Posted October 19, 2015 Author Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) Nice work. What kit did the engine come from?Hi Bob.......the engine comes with the kit........thanks Edited October 19, 2015 by John Teresi
curt raitz Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 NICE JOHN...and a Potvin Blower to boot!!!!I do enjoy your builds, buddy...it's an inspiration and helps with my own builds to become a better modeler.Keep up the good workc'ya
W-409 Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 It's always great to see John's new project, because even before opening the thread I know it's going to be another one that has to be watched very closely. This is one of those kits that I think I'll never build, but watching you do it is a lot of fun. Start is looking excellent already. Especially that front suspension is going to be spectacular...Keep it coming!
John Teresi Posted October 19, 2015 Author Posted October 19, 2015 Hello.........thank you all so very much for the kind comments.......I really do appreciate them......Curt,thank you buddy truly means allot.......small up-date today...........It was a tight fit but,I got a Competition Resins driver inside the cock pit.......I will be working on the engine detail today......thanks for looking
gasser59 Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Johnny...you do the coolest projects. Loving every bit of this build and know it will continue to amaze. Man that guy is really wedged in there.
Davewilly Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 very cool...cant wait to see it when you paint it!
Mooneyzs Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 John... I love the fact that you are adding a driver to this. I have to agree with Brad here that your projects are always so cool and Awesome!! Nice work!
Nytrozilla Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Too funny John. As I looked at the previous update, I said to myself, "Wow that's tight. No way a pilot would fit in there." When will I learn?
curt raitz Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Geez...the guys that drove those front engined dragsters had to have "Big Cajones", but that would present a major problem of fitting in the dang thing!
John Teresi Posted October 20, 2015 Author Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) Hello........thank you all very much for the kind comments......I really do appreciate them.......I did some work on the engine ......I wanted to use some Chrysler Fire Power valve covers......because the kit came with Imperial Valve covers......so I dug out a pair of Chrysler Fire Power valve covers from my parts box and they were to short in length......so I cut out the Chrysler Fire Power logo frome the parts box pair and did the same thing to the kit set and glued in the Chrysler Fire Power onto the kit set.......after a little putty and some fine sanding they will be good enough for the girls I go with.....I also made a throttle linkage .......I used "Pro Tech" throttle linkage parts and used a "Pro Tech" oil filter and I made a adapter for it.......I think I`m ready to start painting......thanks for looking.

gasser59 Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Top notch work brother. Always enjoy your updates and builds. Keep krankin' 'em out. Looking forward to some paint.
Nytrozilla Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 I honestly have to say the valve covers are a first for me. Never saw somebody do a script swap before. Whatever it takes, eh John?
Harry P. Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 What type of glue do you use as you build the mockup?
John Teresi Posted October 20, 2015 Author Posted October 20, 2015 What type of glue do you use as you build the mockup?Harry........I use Aleene`s Original Tacky Glue.......it comes in a copper color tube and cost around $3.00.......it`s great stuff......comes off very easy and holds parts in place great........thank you
Harry P. Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Yeah, I know that stuff. I figured you used either that or Elmer's. Thanks, John... just wanted everyone else who might be wondering to know "how it's done"...
RancheroSteve Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Thanks, John... just wanted everyone else who might be wondering to know "how it's done"... Good to know - I was wondering myself. I think I have some of that stuff around - just never thought of using for this purpose. Glad to see you doing this one, John - I'm sure it's going to be fantastic!
